The Cost of Finding Denver Downtown Apartments

July 15, 2015 by

 

For people who are moving out of home for the first time, it can be an exciting experience to start looking for their new apartment. The only downside is that most people will only consider the cost of moving into Denver downtown apartments rather than also budgeting for all of the minor costs you can come across before you even find the right property. Most of the costs involved in finding Denver downtown apartments are minor, but they should still form a part of your overall budget. The last thing you need is to find the perfect home, only to find that you do not have enough money left to secure the property.

 

One of the main expenses before you sign the lease on Denver downtown apartments is going to be your application fee. While there are no hard and fast rules about how much an application fee should be, in most cases, it will also include the cost of your credit check as well. Overall, the cost should reflect what the landlord will have to pay to run a background check on you and not form a profitable part of their business. It is also important to ask if this fee will be refunded if you do not pass the application process; again there are no laws governing this, but most good landlords will not charge you should you fail the application.

 

In some cases, you may find that while you are applying for Denver downtown apartments, you will be asked to place a small holding deposit on the property. This is simply to take it off the market and show that you are a serious candidate. The payment should be fully refundable if you do not pass the application process, and if you do, it will normally be taken as part of your deposit on the property.

 

It is extremely important to ensure that you always get a proper receipt for any money that you hand over. You should also check that you are always paying someone who is legally part of the management or the owner of a certain building or apartment. Even with a receipt in hand, it is always a good idea to get some sort of written confirmation as to exactly what fees and deposits you have just paid. These are just some of the charges you can expect to pay when applying for Denver downtown apartments.

What Is the Cost of Apartment Rent in Denver? A Breakdown of Rates in the 4 Best Big Suburbs

May 8, 2015 by 
            There are four suburbs of Denver that have at least 100,000 residents, are less than 15 miles from the capital, and are cool enough to make this list. The average apartment rent for each city ranges from $  841 per month in Aurora to $  953 per month in Thornton, here's the list:

Aurora, CO – population: 323,348, apartment rent: $ 841, distance: 9.1 miles

This “suburb” is practically a big city all of its own, however, it does lack a strong downtown business district like most cities its size. The area is home to many historic landmarks, a history museum, an arts center, important wildlife habitats, several golf courses, over 1,800 acres of developed park land, and more than 6,000 acres of other natural areas.

Lakewood, CO – population: 141,937, apartment rent: $ 866, distance: 7.4 miles

Southwest of Downtown Denver, this community is the jumping-off point for many natural attractions and is near Red Rocks Amphitheater, Deer Creek Canyon Park, Genesee Park, and Evergreen, CO. Home to the Belmar retail district, a town center with a mix of retail, residential, cultural, and public space, the city has a great arts district and a prestigious fine art photography school.

Westminster, CO – population: 109,180, apartment rent: $ 928, distance: 9.5 miles

Northwest of Denver, this community is wonderful. Westminster features great shopping and the beautiful Butterfly Pavilion with 1,600 free-flying butterflies. The city has a clean feel and is quite progressive. Westminster is home to Westminster University which is known as “the Princeton of the West” and looks like a giant castle. The malls here are nice and include the Westminster Mall and Orchard Town Center. Orchard is an outdoor lifestyle center mall oriented toward upscale consumers.

Thornton, CO – population: 117,628, apartment rent: $ 953, distance: 10.6 miles

This northern suburb is Denver’s first master-planned community. With over 80 miles of trails, 80 parks, and nearly 2,000 acres of open space, Thornton is an outdoor-lover’s paradise. Don’t move here unless you love the outdoors because they’re everywhere. The city also has a great recreational center, a community center, and golf courses. Shopping here is quite nice and my favorite outdoor shopping center in the area is Larkridge, complete with a performing arts center.

So, if you’re coming to Denver, but don’t want to live right in the city, take a look at these suburbs, they’re quite nice. Average rent here is higher than rent in Denver for a reason: these communities are simply superior (but don’t tell Denver I said that).
