Gunbarrel offers a unique blend of peaceful suburban living, open space, and convenient access to both Boulder and Longmont. Originally developed around the Boulder Country Club, the area has grown into a vibrant community with established neighborhoods, spacious homes, and newer enclaves featuring townhomes, condos, and lock-and-leave options. With its abundance of parks, trail systems, and proximity to major employers like IBM and HP, Gunbarrel appeals to professionals, families, active adults, and anyone seeking a quieter lifestyle just minutes from Boulder.
The neighborhood’s mix of local breweries, cafés, and shops gives it its own independent identity — a true community hub with less congestion than central Boulder and more value for space. It’s also one of the few areas where you can live close to Boulder while enjoying larger lots, lake access, and immediate open-space connections.
