Homes for Sale Near Light Rail in Denver and Colorado: Every RTD Line, Station Map and City Searches

The short answer

Denver (480 listings), Aurora (176), Englewood (91), Littleton (82) and Arvada (67) 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. Below: every line and the cities on it, the station map against the homes for sale, the cities ranked, and the searches.

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.
