Sherrelwood

Sherrelwood is mainly a neighborhood of family housing with some restaurants and businesses lying on the outer borders. The area is predominately hispanic with almost 60% of the residents being of hispanic origin, followed by white, then a mixture. This area is located within borders that are all very busy when it comes to traffic and commuters. Boulder Turnpike is busy at times even in non-peak hours, Interstate 25 is very busy along this stretch of road, and can be a downright nightmare during peak times. 88th Avenue can also get very backed up as it is an exit for the highway. One of the benefits of living here is the location though, as it has easy (if not quick) access to downtown, Boulder, Broomfield, Thornton, and Commerce City.

This is a predominantly family oriented neighborhood, but unfortunately the schools here aren't too good. They repeatedly score well below state testing standards and there doesn't seem to be much change that reflects there will be changes to this issue anytime soon.

One reason this area may appeal to some is the lower cost of living. The median home price in Colorado is $237,800 while in this neighborhood it's $172,234. The median household income is also lower than the state average of $55,430 at $42,775.

There aren't any medical facilities here, but the neighborhood is located just adjacent to St. Anthony's North Hospital for any emergency needs. There are also gas stations, pawn shops, small stores, and a few restaurants in the area.
