Types of apartment in Lakewood, CO

Lakewood, CO has a wide mix of apartments for rent, from 1960s brick walk-ups to newer stucco and fiber-cement buildings. In north Lakewood near Edgewater, Two Creeks, and Molholm, many apartments sit in small garden-style complexes with open parking lots and simple courtyards. Around Belmar and South Alameda, you can also find newer mixed-use apartments with larger windows, secured entries, elevators, and ground-floor retail. Some older units have baseboard heat, smaller closets, and coin laundry, while newer apartments often add in-unit laundry and central air.

Farther south near Green Mountain, Bear Creek, and Union Square, apartments often spread out more and sit near wide roads, trails, and shopping centers.

In Applewood and Eiber, houses for rent include ranch homes, split-levels, and some mid-century brick homes on larger lots. Exterior style can hint at tradeoffs. Older brick apartments often have thicker walls and simpler finishes, while newer apartments can have better amenities but busier layouts around parking and shared entries.
