Adaptive Cognitive Systems is located in downtown Boulder, Colorado, home of the University of Colorado and many high-tech businesses and startups.  We're approximately a fifteen minute walk from much of the CU campus, and are surrounded by the amenities of the downtown Boulder pedestrian mall.  The combination of natural scenery, plentiful sunshine, and sharp minds makes for a stimulating environment.

Many Boulderites tend to work hard and play hard, and when it's time to play, it's often the mountains that get the attention.  Eldora ski resort, the closest resort to Boulder, is located up Boulder Canyon above the town of Nederland, within a 45 minute drive.  Since it's also 5,000 feet above Boulder,it's often Winter at Eldora while it's Summer in Boulder.

In-town, Boulder offers recreational trails along many of its waterways.  The Boulder Creek path, which comes within a block of our office, heads for miles up into the mountains, and also follows a gentle grade out into the plains, offering opportunities forrunning, cycling, roller-blading, and walking through most of the year.

The cost of living in Boulder is very close to the national median.  Compared to other parts of the country with a high concentration of high-tech and software jobs, the cost of living in Boulder is quitelow, with a roughly 40% differential to markets like New York and Silicon Valley.

Boulder is also known for access to organic produce, with the combination of local grocers, national chains, and a regular farmer's market providing a wide range of options.  Much of this food, of course, ends up in the local restaurants, and Boulder has acquired a reputation as a "foodie" town, boasting more high-quality restaurants than a city this size could be expected to have.

Taken as a whole, Boulder is simply a great place to live.  But don't take our words for it -- check out the many "best places" lists, and you'll find Boulder consistently near or at the top.
