Fast-growing small town with nearly 600 acres of parks and green space.
Superior is a fast-growing small town in Colorado with big plans for expansion, including a multi-use lifestyle center featuring retail, entertainment, office, and residential space. A Statutory Town in Boulder County, Superior has a long history of coal mining — the first mines in the area were developed in the late 19th century. Mining was a significant part of the town's culture and economy until 1945 when the Industrial Mine shut down. After that, the city quietly evolved into a farming and ranching community.
Later, in the 1990s, the town started to see significant growth due to residential development and new subdivisions. Today, Superior is known for its pleasant, small-town charms and surprisingly ample outdoor space. Despite being only about four square miles in total, Superior boasts nearly 600 acres of parks, green space, and an extensive 27-mile trail system.
Hailed as the third-best place to raise a family and the third-best suburb in all of Colorado, according to Niche, Superior is a quickly growing small town with a bright future ahead. Plans for Superior include commercial and retail development. The town government also intends to add more single-family homes and multi-family residential units.
One of the most significant projects on the horizon is the development of Downtown Superior, which is expected to be completed within the next few years. In short, Superior is a beautiful, tidy, clean city with all of the whimsy, charm, and friendly neighbors one expects from a classic small town.

Superior might be a relatively small town, but that doesn't mean it's without its recreational facilities and parks.
