What?s for sale in the Mile High City In the past five years, Denver, Colorado has earned a laundry list of national accolades, from the best city to live in according to U.S. News & World Report to one of the top cities in the country to accumulate wealth.
These studies usually cite the Mile High City?s strong job market, low crime rate, and low unemployment rate. But one of Denver?s most alluring draws is its relatively reasonable cost of living; the median rent for a one bedroom in Denver costs $1,240, making it just the 20th most expensive rental market in the country.
The relative affordability holds true for residential real estate. While homes for sale in California and New York can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, the real estate in the Colorado state capitol seems downright approachable. From penthouses to single-family stunners, we?ve rounded up the 5 most expensive homes in Denver proper to see just how far a few million can go. Note: Although the Denver metro area includes homes that cost substantially more?like in Cherry Hills Village or farther south in Castle Pines?for the sake of this article we are only including listings in Denver city boundaries. In addition, we have only included homes that are readily available on major real estate platforms.
