Transit-Friendly Living—Light Rail, A-Line, and BRT Corridors
Fast Market Snapshot (Dec 18, 2025)
30-year rates are averaging ~6.22%. Denver’s typical value hovers near ~$526K, with time to pending ~38–43 days depending on source. Translation: buyers still have leverage for credits and a 2-1 buydown, especially near stations where DOM skews longer in some submarkets.
Where car-lite living works now
Union Station/LoDo & RiNo (A, B/G Lines): easy airport runs (A-Line ~37 minutes) and quick hops across the metro.
South Broadway–Alameda & I-25/Broadway (D/E/H Lines): condo/townhome clusters with reliable rail + strong bus links.
DU–University/Florida Stations (E/H Lines): student/medical commute sweet spot with walkable amenities.
Lakewood’s W Line (Sheridan–Wadsworth–Federal Center): solid condo inventory, good park-and-ride + bike paths.
Olde Town Arvada & Wheat Ridge (G Line): charming cores with coffee-to-commute simplicity.
Central Park & 40th/Colorado (A-Line): airport, Anschutz, and downtown access without I-70 stress.
What’s next
East Colfax BRT is under construction now; RTD expects a phased “provisional use” in 2026 with full operations targeted for 2028. Think reliable, center-running service tying Aurora–Cap Hill–Downtown.
Actionable tip
Tour your target station area at your real commute time. If the 10-minute walk, frequency, and grocery loop feel easy, we’ll structure the offer to prioritize seller credits → 2-1 buydown → inspection items—so your monthly works as well as your weekday.
If you want a home that cuts car time and adds life time, I’ll map neighborhoods to your transit pattern and budget.
