For doting residents, the name says it all. A former coal-mining town-turned-burgeoning bedroom community for Boulder and Denver, Superior’s landscape fits its values: safe, scenic, and family-friendly. Acres of open space and high points with sweeping views is perfect for this community of athletes and outdoor lovers.
Shhhh… Best-Kept Secret: Take a gorgeous scenic drive west from McCaslin Boulevard on Hwy 128 (pssst, bring a picnic!).

Lay of the Land
Superior’s a quick zip up Highway 36 from Boulder (and a straight shot to Denver, too). Nearly 25 percent of the town’s land is open space, which, from the west side of town, provides a panoramic perspective overlooking the Flatirons and dramatic peaks beyond. The town’s largest residential neighborhood is Rock Creek, with retail activity converging around Superior Marketplace’s big-box stores, soon to be joined by the forthcoming Downtown Superior development across the street.
