Englewood has a story not enough people are telling — and buyers who understand it are making smart moves right now.
The Market in 2026
Englewood’s median home price sits at approximately $549,000, up 2.4 percent year over year. Homes average just 27 days on market. Redfin rates Englewood’s competitiveness at 72 out of 100 — a very competitive designation. For buyers priced out of Cherry Hills, Greenwood Village, or Washington Park, Englewood offers updated homes, walkable streets, and real community character at a price point that still builds meaningful equity.
What Englewood Offers
Light rail connects residents to downtown Denver. South Broadway runs through the city — independent restaurants, vintage shops, music venues, and the Swedish Medical Center. This is the kind of neighborhood energy that defined South Pearl Street and Highlands before prices reflected it. Englewood is in that same trajectory now.
The Luxury Exception
The highest-priced detached home sale in the entire Denver metro in January 2026 was in Englewood — 20 Viking Drive sold for $9.3 million in an off-market cash deal. Estate properties along the South Platte River corridor here are often overlooked by buyers focused solely on Cherry Hills or Greenwood Village.
Who Should Be Looking
First-time buyers building equity. Investors who recognize the trajectory. Anyone who values walkability, proximity to Denver, and a neighborhood on an upward curve.
