About North Boulder
North Boulder is the part of the city of Boulder north of downtown, and the boundary we use follows the City of Boulder's official subcommunity map. It is mostly a residential area, with eating and shopping clustered along a few commercial corridors rather than in one walkable core.
The neighborhood is sometimes called NoBo, and it overlaps with the NoBo Art District, which is also covered on our site. Its location on the north side of the city puts it near some foothills trailheads, and the Boulder Creek Path is a short drive south.
