With a population of a little over 30,000, Ken Caryl Colorado is a small city near Littleton and functions as both a bedroom community of the Denver metroplex and an industrial hub for Lockheed Martin. This is a relaxing community where you can get away from the bustle of the larger Denver and Little areas.
Moving to Ken Caryl
If you want to live in Ken Caryl, start looking for a place as soon as you learn that you are moving. Finding an apartment to rent can be difficult; finding a home to rent is often the easier choice. Put together a portfolio containing letters of reference. Be sure to include references and proof of income from your current employer. Credit checks are to be expected. Plan to sign a lease immediately upon finding a place.
Rents are not unreasonable in this fair city, but they can be hard to nail down. Be ready to snap it up if you find an apartment you like, as it will be rented to someone else if you wait. Rent to own is difficult to find here but there are several leasing and renting options available to most people. In addition to the security deposit, expect to pay a pet deposit as well as an additional monthly pet fee. The pet fees are usually under $50. Executive suites and studio apartments are virtually unheard of in Ken Caryl.
