Westminster sits between Denver and Boulder on US-36 and pulls renters from both. Its 115,302 residents span Adams and Jefferson counties, RentCafe’s September 2026 average apartment rent was $1,856, and the median home value was $580,600 (ACS 2024). That is a healthier rent-to-price ratio than Boulder County or Douglas County, with commuter demand in both directions.
The city is reinventing its center. Downtown Westminster is rising on the site of the former mall, and Westminster Station on the B Line connects the south side to Union Station. Employers listed by the city have included Ball Corporation, St. Anthony North hospital and Trimble, which brings engineers, healthcare staff and corporate workers. Standley Lake and the city’s large open-space network draw families to Legacy Ridge, Bradburn and the neighborhoods north of 104th.
Westminster is one of the few metro cities with its own rental rules. Owners of four or more units need a rental license, at $50 per property plus $40 per unit inspected. Single-family homes, duplexes and up to three condos or townhomes under one owner need only a free, one-time registration. If the owner lives more than 50 miles away, the city requires a local agent, which we serve as for our clients. Housing ranges from 1960s ranches in south Westminster to newer HOA communities, so maintenance planning differs a lot by neighborhood.

Local knowledge
What Westminster landlords need to know
Registration or license is required
Westminster requires a rental license for properties with four or more units ($50 per property plus $40 per unit for inspection). Single-family homes, duplexes and owners with up to three condos or townhomes complete a free one-time registration. Questions go to rentalhousing@westminsterco.gov; verify current fees with the city.
Out-of-area owners need a local agent
If you live more than 50 miles from the property, Westminster requires a designated local agent. As your property manager, we can serve in that role so the city and your tenant always have a local contact.
Two housing eras, two maintenance plans
South Westminster near Harris Park has older ranches with original sewer lines and aging systems, while Legacy Ridge, Bradburn and northern subdivisions are newer and often HOA-governed. Hail and fall sprinkler blowouts apply everywhere.
Price for today’s vacancy
Metro vacancy was about 5.7% in Q3 2026, and most Denver-area submarkets saw flat or lower rents year over year. New apartment supply near Downtown Westminster competes for the same renters, so accurate pricing protects your days on market.
