Boulder Creek was recently featured in Sunset Magazine’s February issue as one of 20 “ultimate fantasy towns” across the world that would be ideal for city-dwellers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a “slower-paced, stress-free” lifestyle.
Sunset describes the town thus: “Just over the hill from shmancy Woodside, absurdly rural Boulder Creek (and neighbor La Honda) has the open space to keep cyclists, hikers, and horses happy.”
Some Boulder Creek residents, such as members of the Boulder Creek Family Network Yahoo group, have already been brainstorming ways to incorporate the write-up into bumper stickers. Several poked fun at “absurdly rural” as the choice of adjectives to describe the town, with suggestions such as “Keep Boulder Creek Absurdly Rural” and “Boulder Creek: Where Redwoods Fall.”
Joining Boulder Creek on Sunset’s list of 20 dream towns were such California towns as Geyserville, Ojai and Summerland.
