Should I rent a house or rent an apartment in the Denver Suburbs?

This is a common question that many renters ask themselves.  We feel there are some real advantages to renting a single family home!

The Cost: Renting a house is often about the same price as renting an apartment!  The rent on our houses usually ranges from $1,095 to $1,695.  We also have some high end homes available to rent for $1,700 and up.  Please see our home page for a complete listing of available rental properties: http://www.blueapplehouses.com/

The Space:  Many houses that you can rent are bigger than the apartments to rent.  Most houses we represent range from 1400 sq ft to 2000 sq ft!   Most apartments available to rent, even 3 bedrooms, are around 1100 to 1300 sq ft.  Rent a house and stretch out! 
The Basement:  Almost every house that you might rent will have a basement.  Storage galore for all your belongings.  Some basements in rentals are finished - adding valuable living space.

The Attached Garage:  Most rental houses have 2 or 3 car attached garages.  Convenient for protecting your car from snow, heat, and damage.  Also wonderful for additional storage and carrying items in from your car.  Some apartments offer garages with their rent, but they are usually detached!

The Privacy:  A single family house is separate from its neighbors.  Apartments have shared walls and you often have people living above or below you.  Loud noises, music, and general sounds of people living can often be heard and are disturbing.  Renting a house is much more peaceful!  You can turn up the radio without worrying about bothering someone!

The Trash Removal:  When you rent a house, you have a private trash company that will pick up your waste right at the end of your driveway.  No more hauling bags out to a dumpster in the cold of night. 

The Fenced Yard: Dog owners rejoice! When you rent one of our houses, you can simply open the door and let the dog out! (or even get a doggy door!)  Mow the grass on the weekends, enjoy a swing set in the backyard, or maybe even a hot tub!  It is also easy to keep an eye on kids as they play in the fenced back yard. Some yards are big, some are small.  You pick!  Apartments usually don't have a private yard.  You will have to put your dog on a leash and go outside with him.  And children don't have the freedom in an apartment that they do in a house.

The Driveway:  It is great to rent a house and have a driveway to wash your car, change your car oil, and let kids play. Of course, when you rent an apartment, you don't have this!

The Pride of Ownership: Renting a house gives you an opportunity to put down some roots.  You will be able to plant some flowers,  hang some personalized curtains, and get to know your neighbors.
