1 Congratulations on your residency selection and deciding to Call Colorado Home! Now follows the process of deciding where to live in the Denver area during your time here and whether you re going to rent or purchase a home. Knowing the residency program, I'm familiar with all the considerations that go into such a move. The most important factor to residents is neighborhood atmosphere and the close proximity to hospitals. Almost 90% of residents live in Denver while the majority of the remaining 10% of residents live in Aurora. While in Denver 60% of residents rent and 40% of the residents buy. If you re looking to buy, it definitely makes sense to be in the immediate Denver area considering property values, the time frame of residency, and the demanding schedule that you will have. Additional time commuting is definitely something you will want to avoid. The zip codes below are the trendier neighborhoods in Denver so they tend to be more insulated when it comes to property values. The core zip codes below have generally maintained their value and have appreciated because of their desirability. If there is any consideration renting out your property at the end of your residency, the areas below are desirable for rentals as well. Please see for details. In addition, you can reduce your taxable income by deducting the mortgage interest, putting your money towards a home rather than paying more in income taxes. There are definitely positives and negatives to renting. Renting provides you with a place to live, yet your money won t be working for you towards growing equity and appreciation like when it comes to owning real estate. Considering your work location during residency, residents have really enjoyed, regardless of whether they buy or rent, the following zip codes in the city of Denver: Stapleton Lowry Mayfair/Hale Park Hill City Park, Congress Park, Cherry Creek Area Cheesman Park Capitol Hill, Alamo Placita Washington Park, Washington Park West, Byers Highland, West Highland, Berkeley, Sloan Lake Lodo, 5 Points, Uptown All of these zip codes surround Denver Health on the western side of this area of zip codes and University of Colorado Hospital on the eastern edge of this area.
