About
Life in Englewood
Englewood offers convenient proximity to Denver—just a 23-minute commute on average—without being directly in the city, which appeals to people wanting urban access with more breathing room. Housing costs are substantial though; expect to pay around $573,000 for a median home or $1,668 monthly for rent, so this isn't an affordable option compared to most of the country, though it's within the Denver metro range. The job market is steady with 4% unemployment, and nearly half the population holds college degrees, suggesting a educated workforce.
