Who We Are

Founded in 1977, the Martin Acres Neighborhood Association (MANA) represents the residents of Martin Acres, a neighborhood of about 1,350 single-family homes and four apartment buildings bounded by US Highway 36, Table Mesa Dr., Broadway (CO 93) in south Boulder, Colorado.

Since its founding, by charter held in its bylaws, MANA has been dedicated to protecting and improving the quality of life for all residents in the neighborhood.

Martin Acres is home to Boulder Valley School District’s Creekside Elementary School, the High Mar U.S. Post Office, the Bridge House Ready-to-Work program (transitional housing and vocational training for formerly homeless individuals) and Martin Park, adjacent to the Bear Creek bike path.

Martin Acres is home to everyone - from the original homeowners who bought their homes in 1952, to young families representing the next generation of residents!

Walter, a World War II veteran, has lived in Martin Acres since 1952. He served on the USS Missouri, where the final surrender that ended the war was signed. Martin Acres opened in 1952 as part of a nation-wide effort to provide housing for returning GIs and the families they were starting.

What We Do

MANA works to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood by:

  • producing and distributing the VOICE newsletter
  • organizing social events
  • organizing and funding beautification efforts
