Floor Plans and What They Actually Cost Right Now
The building has 14 distinct floor plans across four size classes. Prices below reflect the total monthly price band observed across available units in each plan at the time of research; they move daily as units lease up, so treat the table as a starting point for a leasing-office conversation, not a locked quote.
| Plan | Beds/Baths | Sq Ft | Price band | Typical availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | Studio/1 | 543 | $1,310 | 1 unit, weeks out |
| Jr1 | Studio/1 | 550 to 702 | $1,300 to $1,535 | 6 units, rolling |
| Jr2 | Studio/1 | 564 | $1,385 to $1,440 | 3 units |
| S2 | Studio/1 | 562 to 602 | $1,423 | 1 unit |
| Jr3 | 1/1 | 569 to 596 | $1,387 to $1,465 | 3 units |
| A1 | 1/1 | 703 to 735 | $1,704 to $2,150 | 6 units, includes now-available |
| A4 | 1/1 | 757 | $1,749 | 1 unit |
| A5 | 1/1 | 768 to 824 | $1,834 to $1,904 | 6 units |
| Jr5 | 1/1 | 703 to 711 | $1,595 | 1 unit |
| C1 | 2/2 | 978 | $2,206 to $2,271 | 2 units, includes now-available |
| C2 | 2/2 | 1,055 to 1,112 | $2,255 to $2,595 | 5 units |
| C3 | 2/2 | 1,244 to 1,277 | $2,660 | 1 unit, now available |
| D1 | 3/2 | 1,309 | $3,037 | 1 unit |
| D2 | 3/2 | 1,367 | $2,990 to $3,045 | 2 units |
The spread inside a single plan is the part worth noticing: the C2 plan alone spans $2,255 to $2,595, a $340 range on floor plans that share the same name and bathroom count, so the plan name is a starting filter, not a price. Unit 1-336, the C3 plan at 1,277 square feet, was listed at $2,660 and available immediately at the time of research, which gives a concrete sense of what “available now” looks like in this building rather than a hypothetical.
Four plans (A2, A3, A6, Jr4) had no available units and showed “call for rent,” meaning no price exists to publish until one opens up.
How This Rent Compares to Southmoor Park
A genuinely useful submarket comparison would set this building’s rent against other Southmoor Park and Denver Tech Center properties specifically, not against Denver as a whole. That comparison could not be built here without relying on a proprietary neighborhood-average figure published inside a specific listing aggregator, which is not an independent source. The honest position is that this comparison is currently unverified for this page; a renter who wants it should ask the leasing office directly for a comparison to nearby DTC properties, or check a market report that names its own methodology instead of displaying a bare average.
Is The Den’s rent above or below the Southmoor Park average? Not independently confirmed here. The building’s own 1-bedroom band runs $1,387 to $2,150 depending on plan and floor; ask the leasing office for their current comparison to nearby DTC properties before treating any one number as the market rate.
Location, Commute, and Noise
The building sits in the Southmoor Park neighborhood, in the 80237 ZIP, within walking distance of the Belleview light-rail station. Redfin scores the address 69 for walkability, described as “somewhat walkable,” and 48 for transit, described as “some transit,” a more measured picture than “steps from the station” alone suggests. HowLoud rates the location 69 out of 100 on its Sound Score, categorized as “Active,” aggregating traffic, air, and local noise.
One figure worth treating skeptically: Redfin lists solar exposure for this address at 10.6 hours in June and 6.2 hours in December.
How far is The Den from the Belleview Station light-rail stop? Close enough to be marketed as walking distance in every listing reviewed, though none states an exact distance or walk time in minutes; confirm the walk time directly with the leasing office if a specific commute time matters to your decision.
Pet Policy and Fees
The building allows both cats and dogs, capped at two pets total, with the following costs:
| Pet type | Max allowed | Deposit | Monthly fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat | 2 | $300 per pet | $35 per pet |
| Dog | 2 | $300 per pet | $35 per pet |
Breed restrictions apply, per the building’s fee disclosure, though the specific restricted-breed list wasn’t published in the fee module reviewed. A prospective tenant with a dog should ask for that list by name before applying, not after signing a lease.
What’s the pet deposit at The Den? $300 per pet, plus $35 per month per pet, for up to two pets of either species.
Application Costs and the Portable Screening Report Right
| Item | Amount | When due |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | $50 per applicant | At application |
| Holding fee | $200, refundable, applied to security deposit | At application |
| Security deposit | $250 | At move-in |
| Utility setup fee | $10 | At move-in |
One fact worth correcting here: some listings for this building present the Portable Tenant Screening Report right as though it were a Den-specific benefit. It isn’t. Colorado state law, specifically C.R.S. § 38-12-904, gives every prospective tenant in Colorado the right to submit a portable tenant screening report, as defined in § 38-12-902(2.5), instead of paying for a new one. If a valid report is submitted, the landlord is barred from charging a separate application fee or a fee to access that report. This applies at any Colorado rental, not only here, and it’s the single most common application mistake this research found: paying the $50 fee without first asking whether a PTSR would waive it.
Can I use a Portable Tenant Screening Report to apply here? Yes, and the property cannot charge a separate application fee or an access fee for it if you do. This is a statewide Colorado right, not something specific to this building.
Utilities: What Renters Pay Beyond Base Rent
Utilities aren’t included in rent. Based on the building’s most recent fee disclosure, showing 12-month trailing averages, the ranges below give a working estimate:
| Utility | Typical monthly range | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Utility admin fee | $5 to $7 | Flat, per unit |
| Water | $6 to $17 | Usage-based |
| Sewer | $14 to $36 | Usage-based |
| Electric | $28 to $66 | Usage-based |
| Gas / central boiler | $12 to $38 | Usage-based |
| Trash | $18 to $50 | Usage-based |
A single-occupant studio will sit near the low end of every usage-based row. A three-bedroom with multiple occupants will sit near the high end of all five at once, which stacks to a real monthly difference.
Schools Assigned to This Address
Two ratings below were confirmed directly against GreatSchools.org, not taken from an aggregator’s rendering of GreatSchools data. Southmoor Elementary School rates 7 out of 10. Thomas Jefferson High School, in the Denver County 1 attendance zone for this address, rates 6 out of 10. Middle-school assignment for this address wasn’t independently re-confirmed at the source in this pass; check GreatSchools.org directly before treating any middle-school rating as current, since ratings shift with each testing cycle.

Lease terms run 7 to 14 months.
What Current Residents Say, and Why Older Reviews Are Misleading Here
The current Apartments.com listing shows a renter rating of 2.2 out of 5 from 5 reviews: one five-star, two two-star, and two one-star, a genuinely mixed and recent signal. That contrasts with a set of older, uniformly warm reviews found on Yelp and ApartmentRatings describing “The Den by Holland Residential” as brand new, under different management branding than the current listing shows (Equity Residential). Those older reviews aren’t dated clearly enough to treat as current sentiment, and a renter relying on them today would be reading about a different management era. The more useful move is to weight the current, dated rating over the undated praise, and ask the leasing office directly about recent maintenance turnaround if that matters to the decision.
