Simply called Whittier, Whittier-Boulder is one of Boulder’s trendiest enclaves and illustrates the quirky, bohemian vibe the city is known for. This historic neighborhood is home to an abundance of colorful bungalows and Victorian houses, including the house featured in the 1970’s hit, the Mork and Mindy show. Along with unique architecture, what sets Whittier’s apart is its eccentric front yards. Many residents enjoy decorating their front yards with sculptures and other items to amuse passersby. The Pearl Street Haunt, a locally famous haunted house, goes all out to celebrate Halloween every year. Due to the area’s proximity to Downtown Boulder, there are typically expensive rentals in Whittier, but there are also more affordable options available including student apartments.

With multiple bike lanes, sidewalks, and access to main thoroughfares, residents can easily travel to popular spots in the city. Pearl Street Mall and the University of Colorado-Boulder are less than a mile from the neighborhood. Unique shops such as Rebecca's Herbal Apothecary and Vecchio's Bike Shop cater to residents' taste for botanical goods and healthy exercise. Whittier features one large park, Emma Gomez Martinez Park (still known to locals as Canyon Park), and numerous small "pocket parks," notably Lover's Hill Park, with its stupendous view overlooking Boulder.
