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

In Lakewood, 1-bedrooms average $1,259/mo versus $1,626/mo for a studio. 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 1-bedroom apartments in Lakewood pet-friendly?

Pet policies on 1-bedroom 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 1-bedrooms in Lakewood, CO?

Furnished 1-bedrooms are available in Lakewood 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 1-bedroom in Lakewood?

Most landlords in Lakewood require gross monthly income of 2.5–3x the monthly rent. For a 1-bedroom at Lakewood's current average of $1,259/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 1-Bedroom Apartment in Lakewood, CO

A 1-bedroom apartment in Lakewood hits the sweet spot for most solo renters and couples — enough space to have a real living room and a separated sleep area, without the cost of a 2-bedroom you don't fully use. For remote workers, a 1-bedroom is often the minimum viable setup: you can close a door between your workspace and your living space, which matters more than most people expect before they try working from a studio. When evaluating 1-bedrooms in Lakewood, pay attention to bedroom size (some 1-bedrooms are technically 1-bedrooms with a bedroom that fits a queen bed and nothing else), closet space, and whether the kitchen opens to the living room or is walled off. In-unit laundry, a parking spot, and a dedicated storage unit are the three amenities most renters wish they'd prioritized when they didn't have them. 1-bedrooms in Lakewood also tend to have the most competitive rental market of any unit type — more supply than studios, but more demand than 2-bedrooms, which means good 1-bedrooms in desirable Lakewood neighborhoods at fair prices move quickly.

Lakewood Neighborhoods for 1-Bedroom Renters

Belmar

Belmar is known for having new apartments, condos, and townhomes, with studios, 1-bedrooms, and 2-bedrooms dominating the inventory. Prices are usually above Lakewood’s typical rent price of $1,664/mo, with a few moderate luxury options here and there. Locals usually walk to shopping and dining, but RTD Route 3 services Alameda Avenue through Belmar and continues toward Federal Center Station. All in all, Belmar is best for solo renters, young couples, and professionals who want smaller pet-friendly rentals in a walkable community.

Green Mountain

Green Mountain is a great place to find spacious rentals, with its many 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments. The local inventory ranges from mid-era to new builds, with prices ranging from Lakewood’s average to above average. There are also premium rental pockets near open green spaces. As an added bonus, the local trail network makes the neighborhood especially pet-friendly. Green Mountain FlexRide connects the area with Federal Center Station and the W Line. Families and professionals seeking larger rentals, trail access, and space for multiple pets usually have great luck in Green Mountain’s rental market.

Applewood

The neighborhood’s older and mid-era properties typically rent above Lakewood’s average, with renovated homes leaning towards luxury price points. I-70 and US-6 provide direct access to Denver and Golden, giving the area great highway access. Applewood’s spacious floorplans are best for long-term renters, including multi-generational families and professionals with kids, looking for a quiet residential neighborhood.

East Lakewood

The W Line provides direct rail access to Denver, with local stops at Lakewood-Wadsworth, Lamar, and Sheridan. Overall, East Lakewood is great for budget-conscious professionals, couples, and small families who want multiple housing options and convenient transit access.

With mid-era and new apartments, West Lakewood and the Kipling corridor have condos and townhomes across a range of sizes, including 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, and 3-bedrooms.
