Baseline Sub

Boulder, Colorado Homes for Sale

About Baseline Sub

Located just southeast of Downtown Boulder, Baseline Sub is popular with University of Colorado students and staff. The college's East Campus comprises the northeast corner of the neighborhood, and many of the housing options here are condominiums catering to the area's transient population. Single-family homes do occasionally hit the market, however, and often at an affordable price point. Colorado Avenue is a busy traffic corridor that cuts Baseline Sub in two, with most residents living in the southern half.

College towns love a good happy hour, especially at a local pub.
