These apartments tend to be more affordable, smaller, and include on site amenities such as pools and fitness centers.

Downtown Boulder Rentals. Perhaps the most expensive part of town in downtown Boulder, or the Pearl Street mall area. A historic distric with an eclectic mix of properties ranging from large old houses to new modern condos. Some properties in 2013 are selliing for over $1,000 per square foot, rents are very high. Generally you will need a car or take a bus to campus from here as it's too far to walk.

NOBO- North Boulder, a newer up an coming area. Too far to walk, not as popular with students.

SOBO- South Boulder, older ranch style homes and some apartments, closer to campus than NOBO but some locations such as Table Mesa are still a fairly long walk or bike. Fairly affordable compared to the Hill or downtown.
