Is a studio or 1-bedroom apartment a better value in Denver?

In Denver, studios average $1,040/mo versus $1,311/mo for a 1-bedroom. For solo renters on a tight budget, compare both filters on Rentler before applying. If you work from home or spend significant time in your apartment, the extra separation of a larger unit may be worth the difference.

Are studio apartments in Denver pet-friendly?

Pet policies on studio apartments vary by landlord and building — there's no blanket rule. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow your search, then confirm breed, weight, and deposit requirements directly with the landlord before applying.

Can I find furnished studios in Denver, CO?

Furnished studios are available in Denver but represent a smaller share of total inventory compared to unfurnished units. Use Rentler's furnished filter to surface move-in-ready options. Furnished units are most common in newer construction buildings and in complexes that cater to corporate or short-term renters.

How much should I earn to rent a studio in Denver?

Most landlords in Denver require gross monthly income of 2.5–3x the monthly rent. For a studio at Denver's current average of $1,040/mo, that means demonstrating roughly 2.5–3x that amount in gross income. If you're below that threshold, a co-signer, larger security deposit, or prepaid rent may be accepted by some landlords — always worth asking.

What to Know Before Renting a Studio in Denver, CO

Studio apartments are a smart move for solo renters, minimalists, and anyone looking to maximize their budget in Denver by cutting square footage they don't actually use. In most markets, a studio runs 20–35% cheaper than a comparable 1-bedroom in the same building — a meaningful difference when you're budgeting monthly. The tradeoff is that everything happens in one room, so layout matters more than it does in a larger unit. Before signing, check the kitchen size (a narrow galley kitchen in a small studio gets old fast), closet and storage space, and whether there's a dedicated sleeping area or alcove to create separation. In-unit laundry and a second-floor unit are both worth prioritizing if available in Denver — shared laundry in a studio building means frequent trips, and ground-floor studios in urban areas can feel less secure. Studios in Denver work best for people who spend more time out than in and treat their apartment as a home base rather than a living space.

Denver Neighborhoods for Studio Renters

Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill is one of the best places to rent in Denver, CO. The neighborhood has a strong inventory of apartments and condos, including studios and 1-bedrooms, as well as pet-friendly homes with yards. Capitol Hill’s older builds are usually below Denver’s average price point of $1,871/mo. While renters can walk to downtown Denver and Cheesman Park, major transit options include the Colfax bus corridor’s 15 and 15L routes. Capitol Hill rentals are best for students, young professionals, and solo renters seeking smaller apartments and urban access without needing a car.

Five Points Corridor

The fast-growing luxury rental corridor is known for its modern apartments, high-end condos, pet-friendly units, and robust inventory of studios and 1-bedrooms. Most units are above Denver’s average price range of $1,871/mo, especially 2-bedrooms, which aren’t as common. The primary transit routes include the A Line and R Line connections at Union Station and 38th and Blake Station. Places for rent in Denver’s Five Points Corridor are best suited to young professionals and high-income renters seeking luxury apartments and easy access to downtown.

Highland/Jefferson Park

Rentals in the Highland/Jefferson Park area include apartments, townhomes, condos, and pet-friendly single-family homes. Although older 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms make up most of the inventory, Highland and Jefferson Park rents are above Denver’s average price range. Renters enjoy convenient access to RTD routes on Federal Boulevard or Speer Boulevard, as well as I-25. These west-of-downtown neighborhoods are best for young professionals and couples seeking larger floor plans compared to downtown’s highrises, while still staying near employers and entertainment.

Baker/South Broadway

Both Baker and South Broadway consist of older apartments, duplexes, and historic houses with a large supply of 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms. Prices are below Denver’s average, with some units going for $1,500/mo or less. Many rentals are pet-friendly, especially smaller multifamily properties. With quick access to I-25 and South Broadway’s nightlife, Baker and South Broadway are ideal for solo renters and couples who want affordability and convenient walkability.

Green Valley Ranch/Greenway Corridor

Green Valley Ranch and Greenway Corridor rentals include apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes. In these areas, most places to rent in Denver are larger, pet-friendly properties, especially 2- and 3+ bedroom units with yards and garages. Even though most rentals are new builds, prices are below the current Denver average of $1,871/mo. Transit centers around Peña Boulevard, I-70, and the local A-line rail connection to downtown Denver and Denver International Airport. Green Valley Ranch and the Greenway Corridor are best for airport employees, families, and commuters seeking lower rents and more space.
