Meet Candace Loving from Boulder, Colorado
I’ve been in Boulder since 1975! I opened a flower shop on the Pearl St. Mall the year it was established, in 1978, and became very involved in the community as a young adult, notably the Boulder Arts Center and Downtown Business Association. Later I became active in the horse show world on the Front Range and participated in National Championship divisions and owned and operated Loving Grove Horse Farm for 31 years. I became involved in real estate development in 1990 which eventually led to my real estate license in 2007. I raised my 2 daughters in Boulder, and was quite involved with their schools and sports, Shining Mountain Waldorf School, Sacred Heart of Jesus, and Niwot High School.
What Do You Love Most About Living In Boulder?

Top 5 Tips For Those Traveling To Boulder
A great day in Boulder would start with Spruce Confections Coffee Shop on 7th & Pearl, walk west to the Red Rocks hiking Trail, cross over to Mapleton Avenue, walk through the historic Mapleton Hill, have lunch at the Hungry Toad on Broadway, walk down to the Pearl St. Mall, have a cocktail at the Bitter Bar on Walnut St., then dinner at The Kitchen.
Advice For Someone Relocating To Boulder?
Be patient – and don’t be too picky. Boulder has always been in demand, and it has a no-growth policy so there is limited new construction and density – so understand that you can always remodel and make the home reflect your own taste.
What Is Most Appealing to Locals & Tourists?
The noticeable friendly atmosphere and the beautiful mountains so close.
