Overview of Findings
Apartment List has released Englewood’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.
"Englewood renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "However, ratings varied greatly across different categories, indicating that even though renters love Englewood, some aspects can be better."
Key findings in Englewood include the following:
- Englewood renters gave their city a B overall.
- The highest-rated categories for Englewood were commute time and safety and low crime rate, which received A+ and A grades, respectively.
- The areas of concern to Englewood renters are social life (D), recreational activities (D) and affordability (F).
- Englewood ranks high for renter satisfaction, as do nearby cities like Denver (B+), Littleton (A+) and Boulder (A+).
- Englewood earned similar scores to other cities nationwide, including Portland, OR (B), Atlanta, GA (B) and Dallas, TX (B).
- 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.
Renters say:
- "Very close to Downtown Denver. Not a busy traffic area. Next to the beautiful Platte River." – Maddison L.
- "Love the walkability, but it’s expensive." – Ashley P.
- "I enjoy the area itself. It’s a clean area with good schools and it’s also very safe. But I dislike that it’s like a ghost town outside of business hours, which limits options to have fun." – Amanda D.
- "It’s really expensive but it’s a great location close to the mall and public transit. But I wish there were more parks and running trails." – Nicole B.
