Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions: Englewood, CO Crime & Safety

Is Englewood, CO safe to live in?

Yes — Englewood earns a city-wide safety rating of Very Safe (A) based on analysis of all 36 neighborhoods. That top-line grade is reinforced by the grade distribution: 75% of neighborhoods (27 out of 36) received an A grade, and the remaining 25% (9 neighborhoods) landed at a B grade. Not a single neighborhood in Englewood scored a C, D, or F. Areas like Cherry Hills Village City Center (A+), Homestead (A+), and Centennial City Center (A+) anchor the city's strong safety profile, while even the relatively higher-crime pockets — Baker Park and South Platte River — hold a B- grade, still well within the safe range.

What is the crime rate in Englewood, CO?

Englewood's overall crime grade is B- at the city level, but its neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdown tells a more nuanced story. Of the 36 neighborhoods analyzed, 100% fall into the combined A or B safety tier — meaning no neighborhood is rated as average, below average, or dangerous. The vast majority, 75%, score an A, and 25% score a B. The neighborhoods with the most elevated (though still modest) crime activity include Baker Park (B-), South Platte River (B-), Englewood Station (B), Downtown District (B), and Brookridge (B). Even these areas represent only a moderate uptick relative to the city's otherwise excellent baseline — not crime hotspots by any national standard.

What are the safest neighborhoods in Englewood?

Ten neighborhoods achieved the top A+ safety grade, making them the safest areas in Englewood. Here's how they break down by population and median household income:

• Cherry Hills Village City Center — A+, population 4,837, median income $269,775
• East Quincy Avenue / South Downing Street — A+, population 1,030, median income $292,422
• Cherry Hills Country Club — A+, population 1,025, median income $277,755
• Homestead — A+, population 7,689, median income $125,661
• Centennial City Center — A+, population 5,678, median income $141,081
• Algonquin Acres — A+, population 127, median income $142,756
• Valley Country Club Estates — A+, population 47, median income $144,667
• Fox Pointe — A+, population 131, median income $143,094
• Spring Creek at Foxridge — A+, population 59, median income $143,578
• Village at Centennial — A+, population 91, median income $144,667

Notably, the A+ neighborhoods span a wide range of community sizes — from small enclaves of under 100 residents to Homestead, which houses nearly 7,700 people — demonstrating that high safety is not limited to any one type of area within Englewood.

Which neighborhoods in Englewood have the most crime?

The five neighborhoods with comparatively higher crime grades are Baker Park (B-), South Platte River (B-), Englewood Station (B), Downtown District (B), and Brookridge (B). It's worth emphasizing that a B or B- grade still represents a safe neighborhood — these areas simply show slightly more activity than the city's A+ majority. Downtown District and Englewood Station, as higher-density, mixed-use corridors, tend to see more opportunistic property-related incidents than quieter residential pockets. If you're evaluating where to rent or buy, these neighborhoods warrant a closer look at the crime map's incident-level data, but they should not be categorically avoided.

Is Englewood, CO a good place to live in 2026?

By the numbers, Englewood presents a compelling case. The city's unemployment rate of 3.8% sits near full employment, and a median household income of $66,399 reflects a stable economic base. The median home value of $379,118 and median rent of $1,224 offer relative affordability compared to nearby Denver. The poverty rate of 12.1% is a metric worth watching, but it has not translated into widespread crime — as evidenced by the fact that 100% of Englewood's 36 neighborhoods grade B or better on safety. With a population of approximately 34,840 spread across a density of 2,049 residents per square mile, Englewood offers an urban-suburban balance with a safety profile that outperforms many comparably sized Colorado cities. Families drawn to neighborhoods like Homestead or Centennial City Center, and professionals eyeing Englewood Station for its transit access, will find the city's crime data broadly reassuring.

How does Englewood's safety compare across its neighborhoods?

The spread is remarkably tight. With 75% of neighborhoods at Grade A and 25% at Grade B, Englewood lacks the stark neighborhood-to-neighborhood disparities seen in many cities. The gap between the safest area — Cherry Hills Village City Center (A+) — and the highest-crime area — Baker Park or South Platte River (B-) — is only two letter-grade steps. This compressed range suggests that safety improvements in the B-tier neighborhoods would not require dramatic intervention; the city's overall culture of safety appears to set a high floor citywide. Residents moving between neighborhoods like Fox Pointe and Downtown District are not crossing into fundamentally different risk environments — they're navigating modest gradations within a broadly safe city.
