“I like that they have a Co-working space, but I don't like that you have to pay extra just to enter the cafe. I like that there are garages, but they are small and not accommodating to all vehicle sizes. The "Dog Park" is an enclosed patch of sand and the waste cans are always overflowing.

Denver Renter Confidence Survey

National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states

Here’s how Denver ranks on:


Overview of Findings

Apartment List has released Denver’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of 111 million American renters nationwide.

"Denver renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "With expensive rents in tech hubs, it comes as no surprise that cost of living is a source of dissatisfaction in Denver."

Key findings in Denver include the following:

  • Denver renters gave their city a B+ overall.
  • The highest-rated categories for Denver were social life and recreational activities, which both received A grades.
  • The area of concern to Denver renters was the affordability (D).
  • Millennial renters are very satisfied with their city, giving it an overall rating of A, while renters who are parents are less satisfied, giving it a C.
  • Denver earned similar scores to Fort Collins (A) and Colorado Springs (B+), but earned higher marks than Aurora (C).
  • Denver earned similar marks to other Tech Hubs, including San Francisco, CA (B+), Seattle, WA (B+) and Austin, TX (A-).

The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.
