What it’s like to live in South Thornton

First-time renters find excellent value in South Thornton, where mid-century apartments and ranch homes offer surprisingly spacious floor plans compared to newer developments. The neighborhood's location provides perfect positioning for commuters working in either downtown Denver or Boulder, with quick highway access in multiple directions. Unlike trendier areas, many properties include actual parking spots – often covered for Colorado's unpredictable weather patterns. The nearby Carpenter Park Recreation Center offers affordable fitness facilities and swimming without expensive private gym memberships. When seeking green space, the South Platte River Trail provides miles of recreational paths directly from the neighborhood.

Methodology

Apartment List is committed to the accuracy and transparency of our rent estimates. We begin 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, capturing apartment transactions over time 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. For more details, please see the Apartment List Rent Estimate Methodology.

Data Access

Apartment List publishes monthly rent reports and underlying data for hundreds of cities across the nation, as well as data aggregated for counties, metros, and states. These data are intended to be a source of reliable information that help renters and policymakers make sound decisions. Insights from our data are covered regularly by journalists across the country.
