Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Aurora

Englewood leads Colorado in large apartment concentration — 17.9% of homes are in 50-unit buildings or larger, according to ALEX Intelligence’s November 1, 2026 data report. This structural shift signals a growing institutionalization of housing supply in the eastern Denver metro, with Englewood emerging as the epicenter of large-scale rental development. While this may ease affordability pressures in the long run, it also introduces new risks: rising vacancies, rent compression, and a potential shift in tenant composition. How will this affect investment flows and tenant demand in Aurora’s mid-tier neighborhoods? How does this compare to other markets? The data is clear — the future of rental housing in Colorado’s eastern metro is being shaped by scale, not just location.
