About Downtown Boulder
Perhaps best known for it's shopping, dining and entertainment district, the Pearl Street Mall, downtown Boulder, Colorado, is a unique city center in a very unique town. Downtown Boulder abuts the Rocky Mountain foothills, with spectacular views of the Flatirons and bordered on the southern edge by scenic Boulder Creek.
Pearl Street Mall is a four block pedestrian-only mall, lined with red brick and filled with colorful flowerbeds, shade-providing trees, historic buildings and an ever-changing cast of musicians and street performers. Visitors take advantage of a large selection of shops and restaurants.
The area bustles year-round with festivals, farmer's markets and locals and tourists alike shopping, dining or just out for a stroll. Downtown residents can walk to just about everything, including the nearby Ideal Market and Wild Oats supermarkets.
Recreation enthusiasts flock to the Boulder Creek Path for running, cycling and skating. In summer, the Creek fills with enthusiastic tubers, kayakers, fishermen and waders. Residents enjoy nearby open space and parks.
Downtown Boulder is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in the area and many of the homes are charming and historic. Large trees and ornate Victorian homes line the streets.
