Rollinsville sits in Gilpin County's mountains, 30 miles west of Boulder along Highway 119. This small mountain community serves as the mail hub for a much larger territory. The post office maintains 291 PO Boxes for just 108 occupied homes, a ratio of 2.7 to 1 that indicates regional service well beyond the town itself.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. Street delivery doesn't exist across the 30.6 square mile territory. Mail arrives via one rural carrier route and one highway contract route, but residents must pick up their mail at the post office. People from surrounding mountain properties, seasonal homes, and unincorporated areas all rely on Rollinsville as their mail access point.
Street names tell the story of mining heritage and mountain living. Assay Office Road and Gamble Gulch Road reference the gold rush era when Gilpin County was Colorado's mining frontier. Old Stagecoach Trail connects to when this route was the wagon road between Boulder and the mining camps. Modern streets like Main Street and Colorado Street form the tiny town center.
With just 203 residents, this isn't a typical town. Median age is 45.3 years. Nearly 70% of adults hold bachelor's degrees or higher, well above the national average. Median home values reach $602,200. About 22% of workers work from home. These numbers suggest remote professionals and retirees who've chosen mountain living over city convenience.
Seasonal patterns show through the housing data. Of 129 total homes, 20 sit vacant for seasonal use. That's 15.5% of the housing stock. Combined with the high PO Box adoption rate, many box holders are weekend cabin owners or seasonal residents who maintain year-round mail service.
The nearest neighborhoods are Coal Creek Canyon (10.8 miles) and Golden Gate Canyon (11.6 miles). Boulder lies 17.5 miles to the east. These distances explain why Rollinsville's post office serves such a wide area. When you're already driving miles from a remote property, the Rollinsville post office becomes the logical mail pickup point.
