1122 12th St. Annex

University Hill sits just west of the University of Colorado Boulder campus, on a rise above central Boulder, with mountain views and a mix of residential streets and commercial blocks. The area’s setting makes it easy to reach campus and downtown on foot or by bike, while local bus routes connect to the wider city. The Hill’s independent restaurants, cafés, and shops cluster along and near University Avenue; nearby Pearl Street adds more dining, shopping, galleries, and evening entertainment. Campus landmarks and cultural venues are close by, and outdoor options include campus green spaces and the paths and parks around Boulder Creek. The climate brings sunny, dry stretches as well as snowy winter days, so layered clothing and weather-ready biking are useful. For the University Hill neighborhood, the median rent is $4,560 per month, with a typical range of $850 to $34,800.
