Who buys downtown Denver homes, and the page for each

Moving downtown: the practical facts

Downtown Denver sits at 5,280 feet, one mile above sea level and about 15 miles east of the foothills, which is why so many local businesses carry 5280 in their name. Downtown addresses use ZIP codes 80202 (LoDo, Union Station, the CBD), 80203 (Capitol Hill side), 80204 (Golden Triangle, Auraria) and 80205 (Ballpark, Five Points, RiNo); phone area codes are 303 and 720. Electric and natural gas downtown are Xcel Energy; water and sewer are Denver Water and the title company transfers the account at closing out of the escrow it holds for it. Most towers include heat, water, trash and the master insurance policy in the HOA fee, so the utility bills a downtown condo owner pays are electric, internet and the HO-6 policy that covers the inside of the unit.

Are downtown Denver condos a good investment?

Two numbers decide it: the rent the building allows (some cap rentals or set minimum lease terms in the covenants) and the HOA fee against that rent. Price per square foot downtown runs $356 to $869 with a median of $475; a unit at the low end in a building that permits leases is the one investors buy. Ask for the rental covenant before the inspection.
