The short answer
Denver (283 listings), Aurora (92), Littleton (52), Arvada (49) and Lakewood (30) carry almost every home for sale that is a real walk to an RTD station. The rule that decides value: a home one or two blocks from the platform gets the walk without the train noise and the park-and-ride traffic; a home on the tracks gets both. Condos and townhomes dominate within a quarter mile of most stations, and detached homes start two to five blocks out.

What to check before you buy for the train
- Walk it with a stopwatch. "Near light rail" in a listing means anything under a mile. Ten minutes on foot to the platform is the number that holds value; twenty is a drive.
- One or two blocks off the tracks. Keeps the walk, drops the horn, the bell and the 5 a.m. first train. Visit at 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
- Park-and-ride traffic. Stations with big lots (Mineral, Lincoln, Wagon Road, Federal Center) push commuter traffic down the side streets from 6 to 9 a.m.
- The HOA near a station. Most condos within a quarter mile include structured parking and exterior maintenance. Read what the fee covers and the reserve study; station-area buildings from the 2000s are hitting their first big repairs.
- Service changes. RTD has cut and restored frequencies more than once. Buy for the walk and the neighborhood, not for a printed timetable.
- Airport and commuter rail are not light rail. The A, B, G and N lines run heavier trains with fewer stops and longer gaps. Same walk rule, different sound.

Which Denver suburbs have houses, not just condos, near light rail?
Littleton (Mineral and Downtown Littleton stations), Englewood (Oxford and Englewood), Lakewood along the W Line, Arvada along the G Line, and the older Aurora blocks near the R Line. Detached homes start two to five blocks from the platform.
Does living near light rail raise or lower home value?
Within a ten-minute walk and one or two blocks off the tracks, it raises it and speeds the resale. On the tracks or next to a park-and-ride lot, the noise and traffic take part of that back.
How many homes for sale in Denver are near light rail?
283 active Denver listings name light rail this week, and 678 across the metro. The searches on this page pull them by city.
Which light rail line is best to live on?
The E and D lines for the south suburbs and DTC commute, the W Line for Lakewood and Golden, the G Line for Arvada, the R Line for Aurora and the Anschutz medical campus, the A Line for airport workers. Pick the line by where you work, then the station by the walk.
Is the A Line light rail?
No. The A, B, G and N lines are commuter rail: heavier trains, fewer stops, longer gaps. The D, E, H, L, R and W lines are light rail. Both count in the searches on this page.
How far from the station should I buy?
A ten-minute walk, one or two blocks off the tracks. Close enough to skip the car, far enough to skip the horn.
