Auraria Lofts
A four-minute walk through the property — told by a CU Denver junior who actually lives here.
PRESS PLAY · A DAY IN THE LIFE
What's it like? Living in Denver
Class. Shift. Study. Sleep…
Riley walks two blocks to class, five minutes to Coors Field, never drives. Press play and walk a day with her — the arrival, the block, the night.
▶ Tap to startArrival in LoDo
You step off the light rail at 14th and California, and Lower Downtown opens up in front of you. This is LoDo — Denver's oldest neighborhood, two blocks from Auraria Campus, three from Coors Field. If you came to Denver for school, this is the part of downtown you'll actually live in. Auraria Lofts sits right here at 1051 14th Street, and the next four minutes are a walk through what your day looks like when this becomes home.
Inside the Lofts
Auraria Lofts is a four-bed, two-bath setup — fully furnished, private bedroom, your own door that locks. Rent runs eight-seventy to nine-twenty a month per bed, and that price already includes high-speed internet, water, electric, trash, and sewer. The fitness center stays open, the yoga and pilates studio sits one floor up, and the rooftop has a tanning pool that's open year-round. Gaming lounge, study lounges, twenty-four-hour laundry, and yes — pet-friendly. Built specifically for student housing in Denver LoDo.
Walk to Auraria Campus
From the front door to your first class is a seven-minute walk. CU Denver, MSU Denver, and Community College of Denver all share Auraria Campus — one campus, three schools, and you're two blocks from the Tivoli Student Union. If you have an 8 a.m. lecture, you can leave at 7:50 and still grab coffee on the way.
The 1500 Curtis Block
Real talk — the block you actually hang out on is 1500 Curtis. Sam's No. 3 is the diner. Green chile, breakfast burritos, open late, family-owned since the thirties. Across the street is Vibe Coffee. Stay on 14th and you hit Bombshells on the corner of Arapahoe — wings, sports, big patio. One block north on 17th is Olive and Finch. Larimer Square's right there too.
Night Life
When the school day ends, LoDo is the part of Denver everyone tries to live in. Larimer Square is two blocks east — gaslights, patios, the oldest bar in the city. Coors Field is a five-minute walk for Rockies games, and Mission Ballroom is a quick rideshare. The 16th Street Mall runs through the middle of all of it. You don't need a car here.
Daily Rhythm + Workforce Fit
Here's the honest version. Auraria Lofts is built for the way students and early-career workers actually live in Denver — class, shift, study, sleep, repeat. Eight-seventy a month with utilities included puts this firmly inside workforce affordable housing in Denver, not luxury overpriced LoDo.
