The University Of Denver off-campus housing cost has been seeing an increase as rent rates have risen over the past five years, but students have no choice but to pay these expensive monthly rates, as the desire to live in close proximity to campus outweighs the cost of rent. 

In the past, Denver housing has seen a .1% increase in cost. However, this past year the cost of rent has increased by 2.5%. Average housing cost for a two bedroom apartment in the Denver area is approximately $1,340. At the University of Denver, most students live in either a house or an apartment off campus.

    This article is so well done! Off-campus housing is super expensive, but I agree with those you interviewed that the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to the amenities and being close to campus!

    Great job on this article! I wouldn’t have expected this outcome but the pros do outweigh the cons for sure. It will be interesting to see if prices go up how students will react.
