Rolling Hills
By Jessica Car · Updated April 2026
A south Boulder neighborhood often paired with Devil's Thumb, single-family homes on quiet streets with proximity to NCAR and Mesa Trail. Less elevated (and less expensive) than Devil's Thumb but sharing much of the same trail access and scenic setting.
