Every Market-Rate One-Bedroom for Sale at The Coloradan, Honestly Compared

Updated September 2026

If you have already decided that you want to live at The Coloradan, the difficult question probably isn't whether you like the building.

It is which unit should you buy?

That is harder to answer than it sounds.

The market-rate one-bedroom residences currently for sale at The Coloradan vary considerably in size, price, floor, bathroom configuration, monthly HOA dues, views, storage and interior finishes. A higher floor does not automatically mean a better unit. A lower asking price does not necessarily mean a better value. And two residences with the same bedroom count can live very differently.

I currently represent Unit 1002 for sale, so I want to make that disclosure clear from the beginning.

But this comparison is not intended to argue that Unit 1002 is automatically the best choice. There are buyers for whom another residence in the building makes more sense, and I think saying that plainly is more useful than pretending otherwise.

This comparison focuses exclusively on market-rate residences. Income-restricted affordable housing units are intentionally excluded because their qualification requirements, resale restrictions and pricing make them fundamentally different products.

Every Market-Rate One-Bedroom Currently for Sale at The Coloradan

Pricing and availability change, so this page will be updated as the active inventory changes.

Unit 1129: $450,000 | 897 Square Feet

Unit 1129 is currently the lowest-priced market-rate one-bedroom in The Coloradan.

At 897 square feet, it is substantially smaller than the largest one-bedroom residences in the building, but it offers an entry point into The Coloradan at a significantly lower purchase price.

The residence is on the 11th floor and includes one bedroom and one full bathroom. Its interior features include hardwood flooring, built-ins, roller shades, a California Closets bedroom build-out and a marble-tiled bathroom.

At approximately $502 per square foot, it is also the lowest-priced residence in the current group on a price-per-square-foot basis.

Its monthly HOA dues of $425 are among the lowest of the current one-bedroom offerings.

For a buyer whose primary objective is getting into The Coloradan at the lowest possible market-rate purchase price, 1129 deserves serious consideration.

The tradeoff is straightforward: it offers roughly 180 fewer square feet than Units 1002 and 1102 and does not have a separate guest powder room.

Unit 1230: $559,500 | 976 Square Feet

Unit 1230 may be one of the more interesting value propositions in the current inventory.

It sits on the 12th floor, offers 976 square feet and includes one full bathroom plus a separate powder room.

The residence offers Union Station, city and mountain views along with electric window shades, Bosch appliances, a built-in kitchen workspace, an organized bedroom closet and substantial interior storage.

At $559,500, it is considerably less expensive than the larger one-bedroom residences and has the highest elevation of the current one-bedroom offerings.

Its asking price works out to approximately $573 per square foot.

There is an important tradeoff, however.

At $509.67 per month, Unit 1230 currently carries the highest stated HOA dues among the market-rate one-bedrooms in this comparison.

It is also approximately 100 square feet smaller than Units 1002 and 1102.

If floor height and initial acquisition price are more important to you than maximum interior space or a lower monthly HOA expense, Unit 1230 may be the better choice.

Unit 1002: $629,000 | 1,077 Square Feet

Unit 1002 is the residence I currently represent.

At 1,077 square feet, it is tied with Unit 1102 for the largest one-bedroom floor plan among the current market-rate inventory.

It also includes one full bathroom plus a true guest powder room.

The residence sits in the 02 stack facing directly toward Denver Union Station, with the city and Front Range beyond.

What separates 1002 from many of the smaller one-bedrooms is not simply its square footage.

The residence includes large-format Calacatta marble in the primary bath, dual vanities, California Closets, extensive Lutron lighting and automated shades, a built-in workspace and dedicated storage located on the same tenth-floor level as the residence.

At the current asking price of $629,000, Unit 1002 is approximately $584 per square foot.

That places it below Units 738, 838 and 1102 on a price-per-square-foot basis while providing more interior square footage than 738 and 838.

Its monthly HOA dues are $434.76.

The most useful comparison is probably Unit 1102.

Both residences are 1,077 square feet. Both offer one full bath plus a powder room. Both are in the 02 stack. And both currently have the same $434.76 monthly HOA expense.

Unit 1102 is one floor higher and is currently offered at $729,000.

That creates an approximately $100,000 difference in asking price between two residences with the same stated square footage, bathroom count and monthly HOA dues.

For a buyer who wants one of the building's largest one-bedroom layouts without paying the current premium attached to Unit 1102, that comparison is difficult to ignore.

Unit 738: $675,000 | 1,045 Square Feet

Unit 738 is another legitimately large one-bedroom residence.

At 1,045 square feet, it gives up only 32 square feet to Units 1002 and 1102.

Its interior features include large picture windows, skyline views, electric blinds, Carrara marble, a wet-room-style bathroom with both tub and shower, an organized bedroom closet and substantial in-unit storage.

The primary difference in functionality is the bathroom configuration.

Unit 738 has one full bathroom rather than the full-bath-plus-powder-room arrangement found in Units 1002, 1102 and 1230.

It is currently offered at $675,000, or approximately $646 per square foot, with monthly HOA dues of $471.16.

That means a buyer is currently paying more in both total purchase price and price per square foot than Unit 1002 while receiving slightly less interior square footage.

That does not make Unit 738 the wrong choice. Its particular exposure, interior configuration or view may simply appeal more to a specific buyer.

That is why these residences should ultimately be experienced in person rather than chosen from a spreadsheet.

Unit 838: $685,000 | 984 Square Feet

Unit 838 is currently offered at $685,000 with 984 square feet and one full bathroom.

Its public positioning emphasizes city and mountain views and a spa-like primary bathroom.

At approximately $696 per square foot, it currently has the highest asking price per square foot among the market-rate one-bedrooms in this comparison.

Interestingly, it also has the lowest stated monthly HOA expense at $424.33.

This is a good example of why price per square foot cannot tell the entire story in a high-rise.

A buyer may be willing to pay a substantial premium for a particular exposure, view or interior experience.

But someone comparing 838 against the larger residences should understand exactly what they are paying the premium for.

At roughly the same overall price point, Units 1002 and 738 offer more interior square footage, while 1002 also provides a separate powder room.

Unit 1102: $729,000 | 1,077 Square Feet

Unit 1102 is the cleanest direct comparison to Unit 1002.

It offers the same 1,077 square feet, the same one-bedroom and 1.5-bath configuration, the same 02-stack orientation and the same current monthly HOA dues of $434.76.

It sits one floor higher.

The residence also includes Bosch appliances, a California Closets build-out, automated shades and dedicated storage on the same floor.

Its current asking price is $729,000, or approximately $677 per square foot.

For a buyer choosing between 1002 and 1102, the question becomes unusually specific.

How much do you value being one floor higher, and how do you value the differences in condition, finishes and interior execution between the two residences?

At current asking prices, that decision comes with an approximately $100,000 price difference.

That is much more useful information than simply saying one listing is on the 10th floor and the other is on the 11th.

So Which One-Bedroom at The Coloradan Is the Best?

There isn't one answer.

If your priority is the lowest purchase price, Unit 1129 currently wins.

If your priority is the highest floor at a relatively low acquisition price, Unit 1230 deserves a serious look.

If your priority is the lowest stated monthly HOA, Unit 838 is currently lowest at $424.33, followed almost immediately by Unit 1129 at $425.

If your priority is maximum interior square footage, Units 1002 and 1102 are tied at 1,077 square feet.

If you want one of the largest residences while keeping the current purchase price substantially below the competing large one-bedrooms, Unit 1002 makes a particularly strong case.

And if being one floor higher in the 02 stack matters enough to justify the premium, Unit 1102 is the direct alternative.

The point is not that one residence wins every category.

The point is understanding which category matters to you.

Where Unit 1002 Wins

At its current $629,000 asking price, the strongest argument for Unit 1002 is value within the larger one-bedroom category.

It offers 1,077 square feet, one full bath plus a powder room and monthly HOA dues of $434.76.

Unit 738 is slightly smaller, has one bathroom, carries higher monthly HOA dues and is currently offered at $675,000.

Unit 838 is smaller, has one bathroom and is currently offered at $685,000.

Unit 1102 has the same square footage, bathroom configuration and monthly HOA dues as 1002 but is currently offered at $729,000.

Unit 1002 also combines the larger floor plan with direct Union Station orientation, upgraded marble, Lutron automation, California Closets and same-floor storage.

For a buyer who values those particular features, the current numbers give 1002 a compelling position within the active inventory.

Where Unit 1002 Loses

Because I represent Unit 1002, this may be the most important section of this comparison.

If your goal is simply to spend as little as possible, Unit 1002 is not the right choice.

Unit 1129 is $179,000 less expensive.

If you want the highest floor among the current one-bedroom offerings, Unit 1002 is not the highest.

Unit 1230 sits on the 12th floor, while Unit 1102 is one floor above 1002.

If you like Unit 1230's layout and do not need the additional 101 square feet found in 1002, its substantially lower purchase price may outweigh its higher monthly HOA expense.

And if you walk into Unit 738 or 838 and prefer its specific view or layout, that matters.

A spreadsheet cannot tell you which exposure you want to look at every morning.

Where 1002 becomes particularly competitive is for the buyer who wants the combination of a large one-bedroom floor plan, guest powder room, Union Station orientation, upgraded finishes, reasonable monthly HOA expense and an asking price well below the other larger residences.

That is a narrower claim than saying 1002 is simply "the best."

It is also a much more useful one.

HOA Dues Vary More Than You Might Expect

It is easy to assume that similar residences within the same condominium building should have similar monthly HOA expenses.

That is not necessarily the case.

Among the current market-rate one-bedroom inventory, the stated monthly dues range from $424.33 to $509.67.

Unit 838 is currently lowest at $424.33.

Unit 1129 is nearly identical at $425.

Units 1002 and 1102 are both $434.76.

Unit 738 is $471.16.

Unit 1230 is currently highest at $509.67.

That difference should be considered alongside the purchase price rather than separately from it.

For example, Unit 1102 is currently the most expensive one-bedroom in the group but does not have the highest monthly HOA dues.

Unit 1230 has one of the lowest purchase prices while carrying the highest monthly dues.

Neither fact makes one unit better or worse. It simply changes the economics.

A Powder Room Matters More Than the Portal Makes It Look

Bathroom count is another place where consumer real-estate websites can make these residences look more similar than they actually are.

Units 1002, 1102 and 1230 each offer one full bathroom plus a separate half bathroom.

For many one-bedroom buyers, that configuration is materially different from having only one bathroom.

A guest never needs to use the owner's primary bathroom, and entertaining becomes considerably easier.

Yet someone using a search filter for "two bathrooms" may never see a 1.5-bath residence.

That is why I recommend looking at the actual bathroom configuration and floor plan rather than relying solely on the headline bathroom number displayed on a portal.

Parking Should Be Verified Residence by Residence

Parking is another detail that should not be assumed based solely on a consumer portal.

The way garage parking is represented online can vary, and the important question is not simply whether a listing displays a garage symbol.

A buyer should verify exactly what parking rights transfer with the residence and whether any parking expense is included in the stated monthly ownership cost.

When comparing two otherwise similar condos, that can materially change the real difference between them.

Price Per Square Foot Is Useful, But It Is Not the Answer

The current market-rate one-bedroom inventory ranges from approximately $502 to $696 per square foot.

That is a significant spread within a single building.

But price per square foot should be treated as a diagnostic tool rather than a final verdict.

Views matter.

Floor height matters.

Bathroom configuration matters.

Storage matters.

Renovations matter.

And perhaps most importantly, layout matters.

A well-designed 975-square-foot condominium can live better than a poorly designed 1,100-square-foot residence.

The useful question is not simply, "Which one costs the least per square foot?"

It is:

What am I receiving for the premium?

What I Would Compare Before Buying Any Unit at The Coloradan

When I evaluate residences within The Coloradan, I look beyond the bedroom count.

I want to understand the exact floor plan, the amount of usable living space, exposure, view from the primary living area, floor height, bathroom configuration, monthly HOA dues, storage, parking arrangement, interior upgrades and overall condition.

I also want to know what the competing units cost.

That last part sounds obvious, but it is often missing from the buying process.

Buyers are frequently shown individual listings rather than the building as a marketplace.

If you are already committed to The Coloradan, I think you should understand the marketplace inside the building before deciding which door to open.

Why I Am Comparing Listings That Compete With My Own

Because if you are already considering The Coloradan, telling you that every listing other than mine is inferior would not be particularly useful.

I currently represent the seller of Unit 1002.

That means you should know I have an interest in selling it.

It also means I have spent a great deal of time studying the other one-bedroom residences against which it competes.

If another unit is clearly better suited to what you want, I would rather explain why than try to convince you otherwise.

The Coloradan contains hundreds of residences. Individual listings come and go.

The more durable advantage for a buyer is understanding the building well enough to recognize the right residence when it appears.
