Melody Heights
By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026
A quiet, centrally located north Boulder neighborhood near 19th and Kalmia with mountain views and a mix of older, charming mid-century homes. Some homes available under $500K (by Boulder standards, a relative bargain). An unpretentious residential pocket that benefits from proximity to Broadway's shops and dining.
