Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Boulder

Boulder leads Colorado in large apartment concentration — 15.1% of homes are in 50-unit buildings or larger, according to ALEX Intelligence’s new data release. This is not a trend toward luxury; it’s a structural response to housing scarcity. But this shift comes with trade-offs: it deepens affordability pressures and reshapes neighborhood identity. How do we balance supply with community?
