Cherry Creek has the highest average apartment rent of any Denver neighborhood we cover. The draw is obvious: Cherry Creek Shopping Center on East 1st Avenue, the 16-block Cherry Creek North district of shops, galleries and restaurants, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival every summer and the trail along the creek. Housing is a mix of older single-family homes, newer luxury townhomes and mid-rise and high-rise condo buildings.
Renters here are often executives, relocating professionals, downsizers between homes and medical or finance staff who want to walk to dinner. They expect a well-run building, fast responses and polished presentation, and they will pay for it. The management work is mostly about the building, not the unit. Condo associations here can cap the number of rented units, set minimum lease terms and require tenant registration, and a violation can bring fines to the owner. We read the declarations before we list, and we keep maintenance at the standard these tenants expect.

Landlord tips for Cherry Creek
- Check the condo declarations for rental caps and waitlists before you buy or list; some buildings limit how many units can be leased.
- Get the HOA’s move-in rules, elevator reservations and tenant registration forms ready before your tenant’s move-in date.
- Invest in presentation: professional photos, fresh paint and working appliances are the baseline at Cherry Creek rents.
- Consider relocation and corporate tenants, who often pay top rent for a turnkey home and a clean lease.
