About Off-Campus Housing Near University of Denver
The University of Denver is a private university in the University Hills neighborhood of south Denver, and the surrounding rental market is notably more expensive than most of the city. DU students pay a premium for proximity to the campus, which is in one of Denver's more upscale residential areas. Shared rooms near campus typically run $1,100–$1,600/month. The South Gaylord Street corridor — the "DU Strip" — is the primary commercial and student-adjacent zone within walking distance. Students who commute look to the Washington Park area and the Platt Park/Overland Park neighborhoods, accessible via the University of Denver light rail station on the E Line. Denver's RTD makes the broader city accessible without a car.
University of Denver Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirements
DU strongly encourages freshmen to live on campus and provides on-campus housing through a campus housing system with themed houses and residential buildings. Some freshman students are required to live on campus depending on their program or housing contract. Check with DU's housing office for current requirements, as they can vary by class and program.
Off-Campus Eligibility
After any required on-campus period, students rent freely throughout Denver. No contracted off-campus housing system exists. DU's student affairs office provides housing resources. The University Park neighborhood immediately surrounding campus is the primary student market.
Lease Timing
The DU-adjacent rental market runs on summer turnover cycles consistent with the broader Denver market. Most near-campus units list in April and May for June or August occupancy. Starting in March for fall move-in gives you access to the best University Park inventory before it's gone.
