Area Information


The South Boulder area ("SOBO" to the locals) is home to several federal research laboratories where the research includes the study of sun spots, tsunamis, global warming and the development of the atomic clock .  It is not surprising that Boulder has one of the highest ratios of PhD's per capita in the nation.  Many professionals make South Boulder their home.  

Bike paths, recreation center, massive Harlow Platts Park and Viele Lake, trendy shops, Flatiron Mountain views and more.  An area highlight is close access to various trailheads leading into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. 

SOBO is family-friendly with its park, rec center and close proximity to neighborhood schools.  In many cases, children are able to walk to their school.

  Those that live in South Boulder don't understand why anyone would live elsewhere in Boulder!
