Shopping Great Expectations
I like all the options for dining and shopping nearby. The Basemar shopping center features so many cool options. There is Brewing Market coffee, Egg & I for breakfast, ethnic dining, pizza, liquor store, Buffalo Lock and Key (hey, this one is a favorite for local Realtors – we always need keys). This is also where you’ll find Whole Foods. Not the largest location, but one of my faves. I like the prepared foods and salad bar here.
There are also a couple of fast food places, Starbucks and Einstein Bagels. Plenty of great options because CU Boulder is just across the street.
More shopping to the Southwest of Martin Acres House For Sale
I’ve actually blogged extensively on the shopping around Boulder. Here is a post focused on the shopping for Table Mesa (pre-Lucky’s). I should re-write it, because Lucky’s and Sweet Cow so completely improve the shopping. We love the burgers at Mountain Sun (and I’m told the beer is great as well). There are some great ethnic restaurants, Caffe Sole for cool coffee and King Soopers offers wide selection of organic produce and specialty food items.

Summers Moms can hire an onsite babysitter while enjoying a Yoga workout. Food truck parties take place here. There is a great playground with gear for all ages.

Look Who Turned 50
Believe it or not, Martin Acres house for sale are not the newest spring chickens. These homes were actually built to handle the influx of population following World War II.
