ANSWER
Start with CU Denver’s own Off-Campus Housing Search, which is built for students, faculty and staff and has a furnished filter. Then compare the individual listings there with CU Denver’s housing page, which points incoming people to off-campus housing and warns that listings are not inspected or guaranteed.

Use the University of Colorado Denver Off-Campus Housing Search first. The site is explicitly for students, faculty and staff, and it lets you search furnished rentals, see what’s nearby, and register to start the search.
- Furnished listings are available in the CU Denver search, including options marked for faculty/staff.
- The site says listings are not endorsed, inspected, or guaranteed by the university or Off Campus Partners.
- Next check: open each listing and verify lease term, distance to campus, and whether the unit is actually furnished.
Examples of furnished options already showing in the CU Denver search
The current search results include nearby furnished rentals such as Auraria Lofts at 1051 14th St, Denver, about 0.2 miles from CU Denver, and a studio near downtown Denver and Auraria Campus at 4536 Quivas Street, about 2.6 miles away. The search also shows a shared furnished room option and other furnished listings across Denver.
- Auraria Lofts lists 2–4 beds and an 11-month lease.
- The downtown studio lists 1 bed and a 9-month lease.
- Next check: confirm total monthly price, fees, and move-in timing directly on each listing before contacting the landlord.
If you want more than the CU search
CU Denver’s international-student housing page also directs people to off-campus housing and says to be cautious with private landlords, including viewing the home in person or through a trusted friend before signing a lease. That makes the CU search a good first filter, not the final verification step.
- The university page specifically recommends looking at off-campus housing options before arrival.
- It advises against committing to a lease without seeing the housing first.
- Next check: compare any outside listing against the CU search and verify the property is still available today.
