Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Boulder

95.6% of Boulder County’s seasonal homes are located in just three cities — Boulder, Broomfield, and Louisville — according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis of U.S. Census data. This extreme concentration reveals a market where demand is not spread across the county, but deeply polarized. The data shows that second-home buyers prioritize infrastructure, access, and community over isolation. As climate migration and remote work continue to drive demand, this clustering will only intensify. For developers and planners, the takeaway is clear: invest in the hubs, not the periphery.
