Mapleton Hill - Boulder, CO Area Guide

Mapleton Hill: More than a hundred years old, near the Boulder nightlife!

Historic Shopping Hiking Breweries Restaurants Nightlife Colorado

Mapleton Hill’s historic charm and silver maple tree-lined streets make this Boulder community a desired place to live. Most of the homes in the area are more than a century old – and because they were built atop a hill, residents wake up to sweeping views of the city every morning.

Much of Mapleton Hill today is considered a historic district, so there are not many shops or restaurants within the community – you have to go to Pearl Street for that! However, you’re close to the Mount Sanitas and Sanitas Valley trail heads, which make early-morning hikes possible.

When you venture on foot or bike to Pearl Street, you’ll find numerous coffee shops, bookstores, gourmet restaurants, and cool artisan stores. There are also a couple of breweries around Pearl Street like Mountain Sun, West Flanders, and Twisted Pine Brewing Company. This tight-knit and trendy community is just northwest of the University of Colorado Boulder.
