Tucked into Boulder’s scenic southwestern corner, at the base of South Boulder Peak and Bear Peak, the Devil’s Thumb and Rolling Hills neighborhoods offer a rare blend of serenity, convenience, and breathtaking views. With wide, peaceful streets and a backdrop of unobstructed mountain vistas, these sought-after communities provide a lifestyle that feels both private and connected.
Originally developed in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, the area maintains much of its mid-century charm, featuring spacious split-level homes, classic ranch-style residences, and a selection of townhomes and condos. One of Rolling Hills’ unique features is its underground power lines, designed to preserve the stunning sightlines—from the Foothills to Denver’s skyline.
For outdoor lovers, Devil’s Thumb is a gateway to adventure. Miles of world-class hiking and biking trails begin right in the neighborhood, offering instant access to Boulder’s iconic mountain parks. Residents also enjoy picnicking, sledding, and recreation at nearby Harlow Platts Park and Bear Creek Park. For fitness and leisure, the Devil’s Thumb HOA offers a private pool and tennis club, complementing the South Boulder Rec Center’s amenities.
While the area feels tucked away, it remains highly connected. Just minutes from Table Mesa Shopping Center, residents have easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, and retail. And with Broadway/Highway 93 nearby, trips to downtown Boulder, the mountains, or Denver are effortlessly convenient.
A balance of seclusion, natural beauty, and urban accessibility, Devil’s Thumb and Rolling Hills remain among Boulder’s most desirable places to call home.
