The Boulder, Colorado Lifestyle
There’s a stunning home for sale that overlooks the edge of old North Boulder from the foothills. And for a mere $7,900,000, it can be yours.
This 8775 square foot, 5 bedroom, 5 bath (plus 2 half-baths) home is, as you would expect for the price, amazing. Located on Timber Lane in the southeastern portion of Pine Brook Hill neighborhood this modern mansion literally puts you up and over Boulder.
This will come as absolutely no shock at all to Boulder residents. We have the highest average home prices in Colorado, according to a report recently released by Coldwell Banker Real Estate.
The report examines 26 real estate markets in Colorado, and ranks them accordingly. Coldwell also ranks average home prices in over 2,000 other U.S. markets.
Boulder came in at number one in Colorado with an average home price of $929,496. Boulder County towns also ranked well, with Longmont at number 10 (average home price of $505,080) and Lafayette at number 11 ($505,018).
Are you interested in building a digital business? You’re not alone.
There have never been more people looking to build a business around digital products and services. These days, when we say “entrepreneur,” we’re often talking about someone who’s entering the field of digital commerce.
It sounds attractive right? Building a purely digital business where you create, sell, and deliver your products and services completely online.
Forbes just named Boulder the best place to start a business in 2015. And we have the amazingly supportive startup ecosystem in this city to thank for the honor.
The Boulder startup scene has always had an amazing ethic of ‘give first’ and ‘just be helpful’ to everyone in and around the community. It’s one of the things that has catapulted Boulder to be one of the biggest startup towns in the nation.
One of the most unique ways the startup community has grown and given back is through Boulder Startup Week. All the events are free and open to everyone, and it’s happening next week, May 11-15th.
The Startup Week concept has become a worldwide phenomenon. You may not know, however, that the whole thing started right here in Boulder, thanks to community event organizer Andrew Hyde (Andrew also started Ignite Boulder and TEDxBoulder).
So if over 120 events ranging from keynotes to meetups with over 220 participating startups isn’t enough, come out to celebrate Boulder as a leader in the global startup community. I took a look at the schedule and here are some attractions:
Join Jerry Colonna, CEO of Reboot, and Matt Stinchcomb, Vice President for Ethics Impact at Etsy, for this interactive discussion on how purpose and values are helping today’s top companies navigate the process of going public.
Looking for a job or in with a startup company in Boulder? This is a great opportunity with 15 hiring companies wanting to meet with you.
Hey, that’s me! I’ll have the pleasure of swapping stories and questions with Christine Auten, one of the producers of the SXSW Interactive Festival and the Executive Producer of the newest event in the SXSW family, SXSW V2V.
Check out the entire 5-day schedule here. Hope to see you out there!

Join Your Boulder for the second in a series of happy hours happening each Thursday at our headquarters, the Riverside. Our first get-together was fun and productive … here’s some feedback from an attendee:
That was one of the better networking events I’ve been to lately, and I go to a lot of them! I really enjoyed all the different people I met and several were very, very helpful and gave me great advice! ~ Michelle Renee
This week’s special guest is Andrew Hyde. If you don’t already know Andrew, he started Ignite Boulder, TEDxBoulder, Startup Weekend, and many other cool things.
Come mingle and imbibe with me, Andrew, and Doyle Albee along with the amazing people who will show up to talk startups and business growth. Of course the drinks are priced right for happy hour, and you’ll also get a free bite with your beverage.
The weather has been great, so we’ll see if the snow is gone from the patio on the creek. 😉
Either way, the festivities kick off today, March 12 at 4:30 and go until 6:00. The Riverside is located at 1724 Broadway at Arapahoe, directly across the street from Mustard’s Last Stand.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Whether you’re working your first startup or your fifth, it’s time to mingle with fellow entrepreneurs! Join Your Boulder for the kickoff of a series of happy hours happening each Thursday at our headquarters, the Riverside.
Your hosts are Doyle Albee and Bing Chou, founders of Boulder Open Coffee. And since I’ve started a few companies myself, I’ll be there as well.

The Riverside is located at 1724 Broadway at Arapahoe, directly across the street from Mustard’s Last Stand. Looking forward to seeing you there!
As you may know, we here at Your Boulder have “adopted” Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center as our first local non-profit to lend a helping hand. After educating you about many of the issues that Greenwood helps address, it’s time to help them!
As a reminder, Greenwood is not a government agency, nor does it receive funding from national wildlife organizations. Funding for the essential local services Greenwood provides depends on the generosity of businesses and private citizens.
I’m talking about you … and that’s a good thing.
What’s cuter than a raccoon in a plastic wading pool? Four raccoons in a plastic wading pool! No, make that five … no, now that’s six … let’s just say there’s a lot of raccoons in this pool, and leave it at that.
Take a look for yourself in the video below, and then make sure to read the rest of this post. These Boulder raccoons (74 in all, if you thrive on specificity like I do) need your help.
The other day while walking near Lucky’s Market in North Boulder, I witnessed a daring rescue. Two good Samaritans scooped up a baby bird from the middle of Broadway and transported it to nearby bushes on the west side of the road.
Given the scenario, the action was absolutely necessary. But I couldn’t help wondering – is this baby now doomed to be abandoned?
