Boulder isn't just a great place to do business. On top of our thriving economy, we offer a highly desirable quality of life and an environment that supports and nurtures Boulder's number one asset – our people.
Settled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is surrounded by the scenic beauty and recreational opportunities afforded by over 45,000 acres of open space and 150 miles of biking and hiking trails. Living in Boulder offers an impressive choice of art, cultural, dining, entertainment and shopping options, as well as excellent schools, high-quality healthcare, and sustainable environmental policies.
Boulder's majestic setting, outdoor recreational amenities and emphasis on active, healthy living combine to rank it consistently among the healthiest places in the United States.
