How many rentals under $1,500 are available in Lakewood right now?

Rentler currently shows 178 rentals in Lakewood 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.

What types of units can I find under $1,500 in Lakewood?

At the under $1,500 price point in Lakewood, 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.

What's the difference between cheap, affordable, and low-income apartments?

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.

Are there pet-friendly rentals under $1,500 in Lakewood?

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.

Can I negotiate rent in Lakewood?

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.

Belmar

Prices are usually above Lakewood’s typical rent price of $1,662/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.

Applewood’s spacious floorplans are best for long-term renters, including multi-generational families and professionals with kids, looking for a quiet residential neighborhood.

Prices tend to align with Lakewood’s mid-range. However, there’s also a lower concentration of luxury inventory and some smaller rentals that go for under $1,500/mo. 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.
