In the greater Boulder, Colorado area, Boulder creek is a big part of local life.  There’s the Boulder Creek Fest every year, which has in past years, featured one of the world’s biggest rubber ducky races.  You’ll also find folks milling about the Boulder neighborhoods bordering Central Park and the nearby main branch of the Boulder Library.  Boulder Creek Path meanders around the west end of town, and winds up Boulder Canyon, which eventually ends in Nederland.

In the summer, Boulder creek is a hotspot for kayaking and tubing, but at all times, it’s also nature’s water feature for residents who live between Canyon Blvd and Arapahoe Ave.

Map these Boulder homes on Arapahoe (west of Broadway and even 9th Street) for especially creek-rich experiences. These homes are known for gorgeous, quiet back yards with paths right down to the water.

And check out these Boulder homes on Canyon Blvd, which include some nice new condos at One Boulder Plaza, Canyon Condominiums, and others.
