Your next home awaits in Englewood, CO

Englewood sits directly south of Denver, its own municipality built around CityCenter Englewood, a redevelopment of the former Cinderella City Mall site anchored by the Englewood Civic Center and RTD's Englewood Station. South Broadway runs through the heart of downtown as the city's main street of restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment, while Swedish Medical Center and Craig Hospital anchor a large medical district close by. Santa Fe Drive and Hampden Avenue connect the city directly to Denver's core, and the bert Free Shuttle links downtown Englewood with the medical district at no cost.

The Museum of Outdoor Arts and Hampden Hall give Englewood a compact but active arts scene, both housed inside the Englewood Civic Center. The Museum's indoor galleries and outdoor sculpture collection sit alongside Hampden Hall's stage for live performances, and South Broadway adds a steady rotation of restaurants and small shops nearby. Englewood Schools serves the city's K-12 students, and outdoor options range from Belleview Park's open lawns and farm to more than twenty miles of citywide bike paths connecting into the region's wider trail network.
