Housing & Dwellings in Denver
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A high proportion of homeowners who own their property outright defines the housing landscape in Denver. While most residents live in large, detached houses, the area maintains a very low rental rate compared to the rest of the state. This creates a stable residential environment where a typical home has three or more bedrooms.
