City Guide

Golden, Colorado, was founded and named thanks to the Gold Rush that took place there in 1859. While the city's population dropped substantially as the gold reserves began to dry up, it has been consistently growing since the 1930s. In fact, it's one of the few Western cities that escaped the Great Depression relatively unscathed. If you're seeking out a studio apartment in Golden, you're going to experience all this history along with the amazing aspects continuous innovation has created.

Renting a Studio in Golden

Studio apartments abound in Golden, but your biggest selection will be near the I-70 corridor. This is perfect for early career professionals due to the nearby dining, shopping and entertainment options. Because, honestly, you need to have a way to wind down after a long day at work.

You'll also find great studio apartments on the outskirts of town, near Lakewood. This area is situated between interstates 25 and 70, and it's only minutes away from the sights and sounds of Denver.

Along I-70, especially near the South Table Mountain Park area, you'll find restaurants like Whole Foods, entertainment such as the United Artists Denver West Village, and great food and beers at places like Twin Peaks. Colorado Mills is also nearby, so you'll have everything you need all in a single mall.

The Cost of Studio Living in Golden

In most cities you look at, you'll find that studio apartment prices can vary greatly depending on where you live in the area. Since Golden's studio apartments are all located within the 9-square-mile city, there's typically very little variation from unit to unit.

The monthly rent for Golden's studio apartments will run around $1,000. The amenities offered can affect the price, including anything from free utilities to community amenities, but you can typically expect to spend about the same amount.

This turns out to be a great price considering the fact that one-bedroom apartments can cost around $1,500 in the Golden area.

Of course, it's not just the excitement in this bustling little town that will attract you. Studio apartments in Golden provide an abundance of benefits without ever leaving home.

Methodology - Recent Updates:

Data from private listing sites, including our own, tends to skew toward luxury apartments, which introduces sample bias when estimates are calculated directly from these listings. To address these limitations, we’ve recently made major updates to our methodology, which we believe have greatly improved the accuracy and reliability of our estimates.

Read more about our new methodology below, or see a more detailed post here.

Methodology:

Apartment List is committed to making our rent estimates the best and most accurate available. To do this, we start with reliable median rent statistics from the Census Bureau, then extrapolate them forward to the current month using a growth rate calculated from our listing data. In doing so, we use a same-unit analysis similar to Case-Shiller’s approach, comparing only units that are available across both time periods to provide an accurate picture of rent growth in cities across the country.

Our approach corrects for the sample bias inherent in other private sources, producing results that are much closer to statistics published by the Census Bureau and HUD. Our methodology also allows us to construct a picture of rent growth over an extended period of time, with estimates that are updated each month.

Read more about our methodology here.

About Rent Reports:

Apartment List publishes monthly reports on rental trends for hundreds of cities across the U.S. We intend these reports to be a source of reliable information that help renters and policymakers make sound decisions, and we invest significant time and effort in gathering and analyzing rent data. Our work is covered regularly by journalists across the country.

We are continuously working to improve our methodology and data, with the goal of providing renters with the information that they need to make the best decisions.
