Sloan’s Lake is named for its 290-acre park, Denver’s second largest, which wraps around a 177-acre lake with a full loop trail and hosts the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival each summer. The housing ranges from 1920s brick bungalows to modern new builds, and the former St. Anthony Hospital site has been redeveloped into a 12-story condo tower, a 369-unit apartment building and retail. More than two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied, so rentals here compete with neighbors who care about their block.
Renters choose Sloan’s Lake for the park and the views, and many are professionals or couples who want a house rather than an apartment. The W Line’s Sheridan and Perry stations sit just to the south, which helps commuters. For owners, the split between old and new stock shapes the job. Older bungalows need sewer lines, wiring and basements checked. Newer homes near the lake bring rooftop decks, larger windows and HOA rules to follow.

Landlord tips for Sloan’s Lake
- Lead your listing with lake proximity and views, and photograph the walk to the park.
- Keep the yard and exterior sharp; in an owner-occupied area, neighbors notice and complain fast.
- Scope the sewer line and update the electrical panel on 1920s bungalows before leasing.
- On new construction, get the HOA or shared-driveway agreement in writing and add its rules to the lease.
Sloan’s Lake rental FAQs
What does a home near Sloan’s Lake rent for?
Sloan’s Lake rents vary widely between 1920s bungalows and new builds with lake views, so we price each home from current comparable rentals instead of one average. Proximity to the park, a garage and updated kitchens move the number most. Request a free rental analysis for your address to see where it lands.
Who rents around Sloan’s Lake, and how quickly do homes lease?
Renters here are mostly professionals and couples who want a house near the park and an easy commute. Rentals are less common than in central Denver because most homes are owner-occupied, so well-kept listings stand out. Homes priced to the market typically lease inside our 21-day leasing guarantee.
Do I need a Denver rental license for a Sloan’s Lake home?
Yes, if the home is inside Denver city limits it needs a Denver residential rental license and a passing inspection. Parts of the area west of Sheridan Boulevard fall in Edgewater or Lakewood, which have their own rules. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address and handle the license during onboarding.
