Englewood Apartments — Transit Access, Value Pricing, and South Broadway

Englewood is one of the south metro's most practical apartment markets because it gives renters a mix that is hard to beat: rail access, central positioning, and pricing that usually comes in below many Denver-core neighborhoods. The city's housing stock includes older walk-ups, newer mid-rise communities, and mixed-use properties around CityCenter, so there's a wide range of options depending on how much space and amenity package you want.

I'm Holly, and I help renters compare Englewood with nearby options like Washington Park and Greenwood Village. My apartment locating service is complimentary for renters. Share your details on my Apartment Wishlist and I'll start sorting through the best fits.

What Englewood Is Known For

  • CityCenter Englewood, a mixed-use area built around the Englewood light rail station

  • South Broadway access with restaurants, local retail, and a mix of older and newer apartment stock

  • Mary Carter Greenway access for paved trail walking and biking along the South Platte River

  • Swedish Medical Center proximity for renters who want a short commute to that campus

The city works well for renters who want a connected location without paying for the most expensive parts of central Denver. The value story here is real: you can often find a comparable floor plan for less than what you'd pay in the neighborhoods north of downtown.

Englewood Apartment Pricing in 2026

  • Studio: $1,700–$1,950

  • 1-Bedroom: $1,700–$2,050, often with 650–850 square foot layouts

  • 2-Bedroom: $2,600–$3,100, especially in newer or transit-adjacent communities

Holly's pricing tip: Englewood usually offers a strong value-per-square-foot ratio. If you want a 2BR with parking and decent finishes, it's often one of the easier places in the south metro to make the numbers work.

Getting Around from Englewood

Transit is one of Englewood's biggest advantages. The light rail makes downtown Denver, the DTC corridor, and Littleton all feel closer than they do from many surrounding neighborhoods. If you live near CityCenter, you can often walk to the station in a few minutes and skip the parking search entirely.

By car, Englewood's location gives you flexible access to Broadway, Santa Fe, Hampden, and US-285. That means the neighborhood can serve a lot of different commute patterns without forcing you into one specific route every day.

If you like biking, the Mary Carter Greenway connects the area into a larger trail network that makes local errands and recreation feel much easier.

Who Englewood Tends to Work Well For

Englewood may fit your priorities if:

  • You want rail access without downtown rent levels

  • You want an easier commute to the DTC or Littleton corridor

  • You like the idea of walking to transit, groceries, and some daily errands

  • You prefer a neighborhood with a mix of older character and newer construction

You might prefer a different area if:

  • You want the highest concentration of nightlife and dense urban blocks — Capitol Hill and Uptown are stronger on that metric

  • You want a quieter, more residential park setting — Washington Park offers that

  • You want the most polished DTC-adjacent option — Greenwood Village is the premium comparison point

Building Styles You'll See in Englewood

  • Transit-oriented mixed-use communities near the station

  • Older mid-rise buildings with larger floor plans and more traditional layouts

  • Renovated properties with updated interiors but moderate monthly rents

That variety is part of Englewood's appeal. You can keep costs down without automatically giving up location or commute convenience, which is why I keep seeing renters come back here when they compare the numbers carefully.

Holly's Englewood Tips

  1. Prioritize exact rail proximity. A short walk to the station makes the biggest difference in day-to-day convenience.

  2. Compare street noise and block-by-block feel. Broadway-adjacent properties live differently than quieter side streets.

  3. Look at included parking and transit perks. Those extras can shift the effective monthly cost.

  4. Check square footage carefully. Englewood often rewards renters who want more room for the same budget.
