Property Management
Glendale may be one of Colorado's smallest cities by size, but it delivers an outsized rental market for property owners. Tucked between Denver and Aurora along the South Colorado Boulevard corridor, this one-square-mile entertainment enclave draws a steady stream of renters who want walkable nightlife, quick access to Cherry Creek, and a sub-15-minute commute to downtown — all without sacrificing a neighborhood feel. For investors, that combination of location, lifestyle, and limited housing supply makes Glendale a market worth understanding deeply.

Glendale sits in a rare sweet spot in the Denver metro. It is geographically small — just one square mile — which means the supply of rentable properties is naturally constrained. That scarcity, paired with consistent demand from young professionals and working adults, keeps the rental market active year-round. Renters are drawn here because of what surrounds the city: Cherry Creek Mall is a 10-minute drive, downtown Denver is roughly 15 minutes away, and both I-25 and I-225 are easily accessible for commuters heading in any direction.
The tenant pool in Glendale skews toward working professionals in their 20s and 30s who prioritize location, walkability, and lifestyle. Many work in healthcare, hospitality, retail management, and professional services along the Colorado Boulevard corridor or in the Cherry Creek business district nearby. Some are entry-level professionals renting their first solo unit; others are established earners who simply prefer the convenience of being close to everything without paying Cherry Creek proper prices. Families do rent in Glendale too, particularly on the quieter residential streets, where Glendale Elementary School is a meaningful draw.

Glendale is compact, but it is not uniform. Different pockets of the city attract different tenant profiles, and understanding those distinctions helps you market your property and set expectations correctly.
This is the commercial and cultural heart of Glendale. Modern condos, loft-style apartments, and mixed-use buildings dominate this corridor. Infinity Park Event Center anchors the area as an entertainment destination, hosting rugby matches, concerts, and community events that keep foot traffic and energy high. Shotgun Willie's and a row of restaurants and bars along Colorado Boulevard make this zone unmistakably urban in character. Landlords with units here are marketing lifestyle above all else. Expect interest from single professionals and couples who want to walk out the front door into an active neighborhood.
Step a few blocks off the main commercial strip and the character of Glendale shifts noticeably. The residential streets around Birch Street and Elm Street feature single-family homes, townhomes, and duplexes that attract a different renter entirely — families, roommate groups, and professionals who want more space and a quieter setting while still being minutes from the entertainment core. Glendale Elementary School is close by, which matters to parents making rental decisions. These properties tend to attract longer-term tenants who settle in, which is a genuine advantage for owners who value stability over top-dollar churn.
Along the primary corridors leading in and out of Glendale — particularly near the RTD light rail access points — modern apartment complexes compete directly with individually owned condos and townhomes. As a private landlord, your competitive edge here is personalized service, flexibility, and the specific appeal of your unit's finishes and location. Properties with in-unit laundry, updated kitchens, dedicated parking, or proximity to the Cherry Creek Trail can command meaningful attention in this segment.
Location does a lot of the selling in Glendale, but owners who understand what renters are actually evaluating will see shorter vacancies and stronger applications. Here is what comes up consistently:
If your property is missing one or two of these, it is not disqualifying — but pricing and marketing need to reflect reality. Our property management services include guidance on cost-effective improvements that move the needle on both rent and tenant quality.
Owning a rental in Glendale comes with rewards and real responsibilities. Colorado's landlord-tenant laws include warranty of habitability requirements that place genuine obligations on owners to maintain livable conditions — this is not optional and it is not trivial. Staying current on your obligations protects you legally and keeps tenants from having cause to break a lease or withhold rent.
Glendale's mix of condos and townhomes means many landlords are also navigating HOA rules. HOA governing documents often restrict rental policies, signage, and how you conduct showings. Knowing what your HOA permits before you list is essential, and violations can create friction with tenants or trigger fines that eat into your return.
Seasonal maintenance in Colorado is a real cost and a real liability. Denver-area winters bring hard freezes, heavy snow, and ice — all of which require prompt response to protect your property and your tenants. Glendale's older residential stock, in particular, can be vulnerable to frozen pipes, roof ice dams, and HVAC strain during temperature swings. Spring brings hail season, which is worth tracking for roof and exterior condition. Owning a rental here without a reliable maintenance system in place is a recipe for reactive, expensive repairs.
Professional management removes this burden. Our 24/7 emergency maintenance line means tenant calls at 11 p.m. about a burst pipe go to us, not to you. Our vetted contractor network keeps response times fast and costs reasonable. You get documentation of every work order, and your property stays compliant and well-maintained year-round.
We keep our fee structure simple and honest because we believe owners should know exactly what professional management costs before they sign anything. Here is what working with Bergan & Company looks like financially:
We also back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 12-month lease guarantee. If a tenant we place leaves within the first year, we handle the re-leasing at no additional leasing fee. That kind of accountability matters in a market like Glendale where tenant quality varies. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
Bergan & Company has been managing rental properties in the Denver metro since 1961. That is three generations of the same family — Wally Johnson, Jay Bergan, and now Cody Bergan — building relationships with property owners and understanding what makes each neighborhood's rental market tick. We are not a national franchise operating from a call center. We are a local firm with 60-plus years of institutional knowledge about how this region works.
Our performance tells the story plainly: we maintain a 95% occupancy rate, a 1% delinquency rate, and fill vacancies in an average of two to three weeks. Those numbers reflect a tenant screening process built on in-person meetings — not self-guided digital tours — plus thorough credit and background checks and income verification at three times the monthly rent.
When we market a Glendale property, it gets professional photography and syndication to more than 40 listing sites, with showings available seven days a week. We meet every prospective tenant in person before any application is submitted. That standard keeps our delinquency rate at 1% and means the tenants we place are people we would feel confident recommending to any of our owners.
We serve 19 communities across the Denver metro. If you own property in neighboring areas as well, we can manage your full portfolio under one roof. Explore our service pages for Commerce City and Northglenn to see how our approach translates across different markets. You can also browse current Glendale rentals to see how we present properties to prospective tenants.

Client Reviews
“This company was amazing! We had so many questions and curiosities and they were nothing but patient and responsive in a quick timely manner. I definitely recommend them. The process getting the lease was super speedy and they were very communicative about the house and the process of getting it.”

“Since 2019 Bergen and Company have managed our SFR in Denver and as long as they wish to manage, forever they will be our property manager. As an out of state landlord having worked with many residentail property managers in states CA, NV, NC SC, & CO, Bergen & Company ranks as the best in my experience. Lot of daily problems to resolve to be an effective PM; keeping the property fully occupied with quality tenants and dealing with property upkeep, etc etc. Without drama or adding burden to the owner with overcommunication, Bergen quietly runs the show in an efficient manner. The staff is responsible and ultra communicative when contacted from office support Kendra, to maintenence up to owner Cody Bergen. Can't speak highly enough of their top quality service. Buildium runs their front facing property management software for owners and internally. GL, income statement, balance sheet etc. No waiting for a bare bones summary statement to know what happened last month with your property, real time reports always ready to download and review. Excellent service, the best accounting reporting, quality staff, competent ownership defines Bergen and Co. They take the stress and worry out of managing your real asset.”

“My roommates and I are moving out of our college dorm and were looking to rent a house all together. As young college kids we had no prior expereience in navigating rental properties. Our leasing agent, Laurel Zeman, was a dream throughout this whole process. Many emails back and forth, phone calls to answer my million questions, and willingness to explain the whole process, and pretty much hold my hand throughout renting a house for the first time. She made things really easy to understand and worked with our tricky move in date. I have always heard bad things about leasing houses and the painful process of getting one but that was not my experience. Things moved super quickly and efficiently. Now my roommates are I are so excited to move in. Huge thank you to Laurel and Bergan& CO”
