Student Housing in Glendale, CO
About Student Housing in Glendale
Glendale is a tiny municipality entirely surrounded by Denver, positioned along Cherry Creek Drive East and known for its concentration of apartment buildings and nightlife along East Mississippi Avenue. It is a micro-market used primarily by CU Denver and MSU students who want proximity to downtown without Denver rental prices — though that gap has narrowed in recent years. The city is primarily high-density residential, dense enough that it functions more like a Denver neighborhood than a separate suburb.
