About Student Housing in Edgewater
Edgewater is a small, walkable enclave completely surrounded by Denver and Lakewood, known locally for Sloan's Lake and the stretch of 25th Avenue with bars and restaurants that serves as a neighborhood gathering point. Its student housing market is modest — most renters here are young professionals, but some CU Denver and Metro State students live here for the proximity to downtown and the walkable streets. Rents have risen sharply as Edgewater has gentrified, and it no longer offers the budget advantage it once did. It is a quality-of-life choice more than a budget choice.
