Student Housing in Englewood, CO
About Student Housing in Englewood
Englewood is a small Denver suburb immediately south of the city, positioned along the C Line light rail and within 10 minutes of downtown by rail. Its student market is primarily CU Denver and MSU students who want lower rents than Denver proper with easy transit access. Rents are competitive and the housing stock is a mix of older apartment complexes and newer development. It is a functional commuter option without strong neighborhood identity, but the light rail connection is genuine and the price differential from central Denver is meaningful.
