Whittier Apartments for Rent

The historic Whittier neighborhood is one of Boulder’s oldest neighborhoods and the most popular place to live within the city. Its wide, tree-lined, stately streets accent Victorians, brick bungalows, and single-family ranch homes. Neighborhood streets have well-marked bicycle lanes and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks.

Whittier lies within the 80302 Zip code and is surrounded by Alpine Avenue to the north, North Broadway Street to the west, Canyon Boulevard to the south, and 28th Street to the east. Shopping is available at the new Twenty Ninth Street to the east, Arapahoe Village Shopping Center to the south, and the Pearl Street Mall to the west.

Nearby recreational opportunities exist at the YMCA of Boulder Valley Mapleton Center, the indoor rock climbing walls at the Boulder Rock Club, Boulder Kayak Playpark, or fishing at the Kids Fishing Pond on Boulder Creek.

North Boulder Park facilities include playground equipment, basketball courts, a ball field, and nordic skiing in winter.
