You can use Apartment Locators Plus to search for townhomes, condos, houses, & apartments in the Denver area, whether you want to rent or buy. We make your search easy.

Types of Apartments:
Garden Style, usually 2-3 stories, many have private entries.
High-Rise, more than 6 stories, have hallway entries.
Mid-Rise, usually 4-6 stories.
Low-Rise, less than 5 stories.

Condominiums:
Can be any “apartment” style.  The only difference is that they are privately owned. Rent will be paid to an individual instead of a manager or corporation.

Townhomes:
Usually more expensive because they consist of two or three levels.  Usually the bedrooms are on the upper level the main floor will be the living room, dining room and the kitchen.  Some units have basements. Most have washer / dryer hook ups or included.  When there are garages, the price range will most often be higher.

Houses:
The rent for a house will usually be several hundred dollars more than the other types of rentals.  There will hardly ever be any specials offered and only a few will allow pets.  Houses are almost always privately owned and usually rent very quickly.  Timing is important.

Sight Unseen:
Many times you are not able to physically view your rental possibilities (out of state, short on time, etc.). Apartment Locators Plus can do all the leg work for you! We will supply detailed property information with personal and professional care from the start to the end of the rental process.  It will be our pleasure to take care of all the details for you.  Once you are ready to move, all you will need to do is pick up the key and move in! 

When to begin to look:
Ideally start looking 30-45 days prior to your move date. The most effective way to get started is to complete the online application. GO!  This will allow one of Apartment Locators Plus Agents to call you with the appropriate search information.  If you do plan to make a special trip to Colorado to locate an apartment, it is advisable that you not come more than 45 days prior to your move date.  Residents are only required to give a 30 day notice to vacate.  Therefore, the complexes most likely will not know if they will have vacancy available for your move date. Usually the manager / owner will not hold their rental for anyone more than 2 weeks without receiving rent.

Furnished vs. Unfurnished:
Very few rentals are furnished.  We do work very closely with a major furniture rental company.  Apartment Locators Plus can assist you in selecting exactly what you need for your home furnishings and by going through Apartments Locators Plus you will be given discounts on your furniture rentals.

Corporate Units:
Some communities offer corporate rentals.  This means everything is furnished including phone, TV,  utilities and housekeeping.  If Corporate style living is what you want, make one simple call to Apartment Locators Plus and we will take care of all the details.

Lease Terms:
The most common lease term is six (6) to twelve (12) months. Shorter lease lengths are available but usually include a monthly premium ($50 - $300).

Temporary Housing:
If you are just moving to your new area, you may need some additional time to find where you want to live.  Or, possibly you are having your new home built and need a place to call home while waiting on its completion.

With not wanting to stay in an expensive hotel, crammed studio or Corporate unit, Apartment Locators Plus will help you find a comfortable rental that can be leased daily, weekly, or monthly.

Deposits:
Owners / Managers are usually fair about refunding deposits as long as the renter honors the terms of the lease.  Deposits range from $200 to $600.  Private owners usually charge one full month rent as a deposit.

Application Fee:
Almost without exception, you will be charged an Application Fee.  This fee covers the cost of checking your rental and credit history.  Many complexes also do a criminal check that is included in the Application Fee.

Pet Owners:
Not all communities allow pets.  Rentals that allow cats are much easier to find than places that allow dogs. Most rentals have a maximum of 2 pets allowed. Larger dogs and more aggressive breeds are harder to place. Pit bulls are against the law in Denver County. Our Agents are very educated on which properties to send pet owners to.  Apartments Locators Plus can help you find which communities will allow your pet(s) and give you information concerning pet deposits and pet rents.

Rent (Monthly rental units usually include):
  • mini/vertical blinds

  • refrigerator

  • oven

  • Garage/carport usually with an additional monthly cost.

Higher priced units will often include the washer/dryer in the unit. On site there will usually be: swimming pool, Jacuzzi, exercise room and clubhouse.

Utilities:
With the rising cost of all utilities, many apartments are now charging for heat, gas and water.  Rentals with all utilities paid are unusual in our area.  Air conditioning is common and useful during the summer months.
