About Boulder City

Boulder City has one of the oldest housing stocks in the area, with a ZIP-level median build year in the late 1970s. Older bathrooms can mean narrower doors and older plumbing, so ask installers to check both.

Who lives here

Across the Boulder City ZIP codes we cover, 28.9% of residents are 65 or older, and the median age by ZIP code is 52.75.

Homes and bathrooms

The median home here was built in 1979, by ZIP code, and 71% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Older homes can have narrower bathroom doors, older drain lines and full electrical panels, so ask installers to check all three before quoting. See walk-in tub sizes.

Water hardness

Water hardness varies by supplier. Ask the City of Boulder City for a current hardness figure, which most utilities publish in an annual water quality report. Desert water across the region is commonly hard, so ask your installer how to keep jets and door seals free of scale.
