subject: Best Places to Retire - Boulder City [print this page] Boulder City, Nevada
Boulder City does not spark images of night life clubs, bands and flashy cars; but that is how residents here like it. Of course, that does not mean inhabitants here do not have access to fun and entertainment. Boulder is located on 20 miles from the City of Las Vegas but prohibits gambling within the Boulder City limits. The city was originally built for the workers who built one of the nation's largest tourist attraction, the Hoover Dam. Thanks to the earlier hard workers Lake Mead was formed which is an invitation to anyone with boat.
Retirees of Boulder City do not need to travel the 20 miles to Sin City when Boulder offers so much entertainment without the crowds. Fast electric scooters and the electric trike will drive their riders to of Boulder's City's attractions. Golf courses, racquetball complex, Alan Bible Botanical Garden, Bootleg Canyon Mountain Bike Park, athletic fields and hiking trails are right outside the city proper. The city also boasts an airport that affords its customers with skydiving, private plane rides and aerial tours of the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon.
Boulder's 200 square miles houses nearly 17,000 residents, with the vast majority being White (94%). With close to 30% of its population 45 to 64 and 23% being 65 years of age older, Boulder offers retirees plenty of neighborly company. The per capita income is around $30,000 with only 6.7% below the poverty line. There is a reason for the low population in Boulder and it is done on purpose. The city controls the population growth by limiting the amount of building permits awarded for new construction each year. Boulder's exclusivity also transitions into hotels, which are limited to no more than 35 rooms. So if you are looking for a place to retire that offers its own entertainment, with a limited crowd, and a few miles away from the nation's most renowned Sin City then pack bags and head to Boulder City, Nevada.
