[quote=The-Shoveler]I would argue maybe only 10% of America really comes close (all factors considered and having traveled a fair bit of it), but anyway that is my opinion.[/quote]Boulder and surrounds is very, very nice … also very walkable. I stayed there for a few days last year and hiked the different trails at the bottom of the flatirons. But it’s gotten very pricey in the past decade plus. I can only afford a 1-2 bdrm condo there (North Boulder and not walkable to all the good stuff). But I am not willing to own or live in a condo. The RE prices there today are certainly on par with Pt Loma/PB in and some cases, LJ (in SD). Even the hotels there have nearly doubled in price from 2011 (the last time I stayed there) :=0
No, Boulder is not anywhere near “newish” like Temecula (although it has some new highways now). There has been a building moratorium in place there for several decades. Hence, its high RE prices and great quality of life.
