Northeast Boulder is comprised of two-distinct areas separated by sparsely-populated Open Space.  I refer to these areas as Northeast Boulder - City and Northeast Boulder - Gunbarrel.  The  "Diagonal Highway", which originates in Northeast Boulder - City, passes along the western border of Northeast Boulder - Gunbarrel on its way to the City of Longmont.

  Northeast Boulder - City is less densely populated than the rest of the City of Boulder.  It is home to some garden-style office complexes and light-industrial parks.  The Boulder Municipal Airport is also located in this area.

Along the southwest corner of Northeast Boulder - City you will find the redeveloped 29th Street Mall as well as the Crossroads Mall where Whole Foods Market and other stores are located.  You will also find  a variety of non-chain restaurants and espresso bars located through-out this area.

The Foothills Parkway dissects Northeast Boulder - City and provides convenient access to Hwy 36 enroute to the Denver Metro Area.  You can find many affordable condo complexes in this area as well as some new condo developments.

Just north of the northern border of Northeast Boulder - City, you will find the Boulder Reservoir with boating, swimming, miles of walking / hiking and biking pathways -- even sailing classes!
