Martin Acres
By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026
Boulder's entry-level single-family neighborhood, over 1,300 modest mid-century homes built in the 1950s-60s across a large south Boulder subdivision. Median around $850K. The area's accessible prices (by Boulder standards) and three apartment complexes create an economically diverse mix. Martin Park is the social hub, hosting concerts and food truck events.
