Union Station & LoDo Apartments — Denver’s Urban Core
Union Station and LoDo sit at the center of downtown Denver’s transit network. If you want a neighborhood where you can walk to work, catch the A-Line to the airport, and handle most of your errands without relying on a car, this is the part of the city that makes the math work.
I recommend this area to renters who are comparing commute time, transit access, and the total cost of car ownership. My service is complimentary, and I can help you compare buildings, parking costs, and the quieter blocks north of the station. Start with my Apartment Wishlist.

Why the area is a strong transit option
A-Line access: fast connection to Denver International Airport.
Regional transit hub: rail, bus, and shuttle connections across the metro.
Walkability: easy access to downtown offices, Coors Field, and the Platte River Trail.
Car-light living: a realistic option for renters who work downtown or travel often.
Cost comparison to keep in mind
Parking can add a meaningful monthly fee in central buildings.
If you no longer need a car, the savings can offset part of the higher rent.
Downtown living also reduces commute time for office-based jobs in the core.
