Hillcrest / Panorama Heights

By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026

Lots here run 0.15 to 0.40 acres, wide by Boulder standards, and the housing spans 1950s and 1960s originals through modern rebuilds that clear $3M. Panorama Avenue sits about nine tenths of a mile from Pearl Street Mall, close enough that the walk downtown is an errand rather than a drive. Boulder Creek Park, renamed from Central Park and the Civic Area, is roughly a mile south at 1236 Canyon Boulevard and holds the Glen Huntington Bandshell and an 18 foot LED marker plotting the creek's historic flood levels. Mount Sanitas and The Peoples' Crossing, the trailhead formerly called Settlers Park, sit about two miles west. Broadway is three minutes out and Canyon Boulevard about five.
