📊 Denver Rental Rates Update – April 2025

Denver's rental market is showing signs of cooling, offering more opportunities for renters:

Average Rent: $1,819/month, a decrease of $23 from the previous quarter and $56 from the same period last year.

Vacancy Rate: 7%, the highest in 15 years, indicating increased availability.

Rental Inventory: An addition of 20,000 new units in 2024, a 5% boost in inventory.

These trends suggest a shift towards a renter-friendly market, with potential for more negotiating power and concessions from landlords.

🏟️ Denver Sports Recap: What Went Down Last Week

Catch up on the action — here’s what had the city buzzing:

🏀 Nuggets Take Game 1 in Style
Playoff energy was off the charts at Ball Arena as the Nuggets snagged Game 1 with a dominant fourth quarter. Jokic triple-doubled (of course), and MPJ hit clutch threes like he was born for it. Denver’s feeling real championship-ready.

⚾ Rockies Split the Series with the Cubs
Coors Field brought the sunshine and the fireworks — literally. The Rockies had a walk-off win on Saturday and dropped a close one Sunday. Still, the vibes were high and the hot dogs were flowing.

🏈 Broncos Trade Talk Heating Up Ahead of the Draft
No games yet, but the rumor mill’s been spinning. Word is Denver’s looking to move up in the draft. Fans are buzzing about a potential new QB1. We’ll know more this week — stay tuned.

📍 Neighborhood of the Week: Wash Park

Big trees, bungalows, and brunch energy.
Wash Park’s the move if you like:
☕ Morning jogs followed by lattes
🛶 Kayaking + people-watching
🏡 Classic Denver charm + updated interiors

Want a peaceful neighborhood that still knows how to party on the weekends? Wash Park is calling.
