Boulder Building Rules, Land Temptations, and Landmark Battles | Podcast #90

So you want to construct your Boulder dream home in the foothills surrounding the city of Boulder? Sorry, we may have to crush that dream. Boulder has extremely thorough and difficult-to-navigate building regulations. Agents often market historic homes, mountain homes, and land as if these rules don’t exist. Let’s get into it. And while we are at it, we’ll cover inspection fights, recent sales around town, landmark disputes in Denver, new city fees, and even what a Michelin star means for Colorado dining.

This podcast is supported by the House Einstein real estate brokerage, founded and based in Boulder, Colorado. House Einstein’s mission is to help you make a smarter real estate decision. Visit at Houseeinstein.com
