Located at the base of the foothills in north Boulder, Newlands is one of the city's most established and sought-after residential neighborhoods. Developed in 1871 by the Newland family, the area blends historic character with modern living, offering a mix of early twentieth-century brick homes, classic farm-style cottages, and thoughtfully designed new construction. Wide streets shaded by mature trees define much of the neighborhood, while larger lots and century-old apple orchards at the northern edge preserve a sense of Boulder's agricultural past.
