Boulder - Housing

I recently moved to Boulder from NYC. Currently renting for ~2500. I am considering buying a house here (not Boulder but somewhere close to it) but unsure about the areas, their pros, and cons, the right time, etc. Any suggestions on what areas I should be looking at considering the upside, fracking situation, affordability, etc?

Are you remote? Are you commuting to Denver then?

Amazon has a big Ads presence in Boulder, with an office

I am fully remote right now. But with RTO that might change and might have to start commuting to DEN.

Try the wbu11 slack channel. They’re a lot friendlier then blind

Anything 1960s has asbestos. There was a giant flood in 2013 that flooded tons of homes in Longmont and sellers aren't reporting the damage. Erie is over an underground coal mine that is still smoldering. Weld County wants to secede from the union. Methane leakage from oil and gas is pretty terrible in the area. Fucking wind! Commuting to Denver is ass. Marshall fire burned a 1000 homes in 2021 so maybe dont buy anything in that area. That's probably most of what you need to know...

Why would anyone move to Boulder from NYC? Are you over 60?

Amazon forcedRTP Feb 21, 2023

Haha, that's a fair question. Fastest growing demographic in Boulder is 60+. There are so few kids in Boulder proper that the schools are letting teachers go due to dwindling enrollment.

Nyc to boulder as well. SW Longmont, Louisville, and north boulder is what I recommend.

Just out of curiosity, why come to Boulder?

Everything not related to work, just to enjoy the quiet life and fitness

Did you buy a house? Which area did you finalize and on what basis?
