It has grown! I haven't been back since 2005 and just looking online it has all grown a lot. I remember when living in Broomfield, Louisville, Lafayette, etc. was the cheaper option over Boulder. But now all these huge apartment complexes are there and they are all just about the exact same price, while the quantity of townhouses and houses that are for rent have diminished. I really wasn't expecting the rent to have gone up so much while the price to buy has stayed pretty decent.
