Martin Acres
Boulder, CO · South-Central
What it's like in Martin Acres.
Martin Acres is Boulder's most honest neighborhood — no pretense, no premium for proximity to a specific attraction, just well-built post-war homes on generous lots with mature trees and reliable access to everything Boulder does well. Boulder Creek runs along its northern edge; CU is a short bike ride. The neighborhood has become a consistent target for buyers entering the Boulder market who want a single-family home without paying for a prestigious zip code suffix, and for buyers trading down from larger properties who still want the connection to trails and open space.

“"Martin Acres is where I send buyers who are serious about Boulder but honest about what they actually need. The creek path, the schools, the lot sizes — it does most of the work."”

The Boulder Creek Path is the neighborhood's most valuable amenity — a paved trail that runs from the mountains to the plains, connecting Martin Acres to downtown and beyond. The Table Mesa Shopping Center handles daily errands to the south. Baseline Road provides quick access east to Louisville and Lafayette. The community is unpretentious and neighborly; longtime residents share blocks with young families who discovered the neighborhood's value-to-location ratio and moved quickly.
