Goss-Grove
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Goss-Grove is a compact grid between Canyon Boulevard and Arapahoe Avenue, built out mostly between 1950 and 1990 in small single-family houses, condos and townhomes on lots of 0.08 to 0.15 acres. Goss Street, Goss Circle and Grove Street give the neighborhood its name, and the Goss Grove Community Garden holds a lot near its west end. Boulder Creek and its 5.5-mile path run a block south, carrying riders west into Boulder Canyon and east toward Scott Carpenter Park at 1505 30th Street, which has a pool, a skate park and a sledding hill. Folsom Street is two minutes east and the CU Boulder campus is about a twelve-minute walk, so most trips here are made on foot or by bike.
