What to Know Before Renting Under $1,500 in Denver, CO
Rentals under $1,500 per month cover a wide share of Denver inventory — expect a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, townhomes, and some three-bedroom houses. At this price point, tradeoffs are usually about neighborhood, building age, and amenity package rather than basic habitability. Compare commute time, parking, and in-unit laundry when narrowing your shortlist in Denver.
Affordable Rentals by Denver Neighborhood
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 $2,039/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 $2,039/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 $2,039/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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rentals Under $1,500 in Denver, CO
Rentler currently shows 714 rentals in Denver priced under $1,500. Inventory at this price point is updated daily — availability changes quickly, especially at the lower price tiers where well-priced units receive applications within 24–48 hours of posting.
At the under $1,500 price point in Denver, use the bedroom and property-type filters to narrow to studios, 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, houses, or townhomes. Availability shifts daily — set a listing alert if you want to catch new units as they post.
These terms refer to different things. Cheap or affordable apartments are market-rate units at the lower end of a city's price range — anyone can apply regardless of income. Low-income or income-restricted apartments are subsidized properties (through programs like Section 8, HUD, or LIHTC) that require income qualification, typically at or below 50–80% of the area median income. Both types may appear on Rentler — contact landlords directly on lower-priced listings to ask about income requirements and subsidy acceptance.
Pet-friendly rentals exist across all price tiers. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow to properties that accept animals. At lower price points, pet deposits and monthly pet rent still apply — factor that into your total monthly cost when budgeting. Breed and weight restrictions are common even on pet-accepting listings.
Yes — especially on market-rate listings with individual landlords, which make up a significant share of Rentler's inventory. Negotiating leverage is highest in winter (November through January), when fewer people are searching and landlords are more motivated to fill vacancies. Offering a longer lease term, a larger security deposit, or the ability to move in quickly are the most effective negotiating levers.
