About Student Housing in Lakewood
Lakewood is a Denver suburb directly west of the city and one of the more practical off-campus options for students at CU Denver, Metro State, or Community College of Denver. The W Line light rail runs through Lakewood with multiple stations connecting to Auraria campus downtown, making the commute manageable without a car. Rents are lower than Denver proper and the housing stock is large. Lakewood is not a college town with its own identity — it is a bedroom community — but its transit access and price point make it worth considering for budget-conscious Denver-area students.
