Affordable apartments in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood
Park Hill Station is an income-restricted community, which means rent is set below market rate for residents who meet income guidelines. If you’re searching for affordable housing in Denver, here’s everything you need to know.
What does “income-restricted” mean?
Income-restricted apartments offer below-market rents to households that earn under a certain amount. These programs are supported through a mix of housing funding sources, and each sets income guidelines based on your household size. To qualify, your household income must fall at or below the limit for your household size and the unit type.
2026 income limits — Denver County
Limits are set each year by CHFA and HUD based on Area Median Income (AMI). Park Hill Station serves households at the tiers below. To qualify, your total gross household income must be at or below the limit for your household size — and at least 2 times the monthly rent. For example, if rent is $1,620 per month, your household would need a combined gross income of at least $3,240 per month, or about $38,880 per year.

Common questions
Is there an income requirement?
Applicants must show projected household income of at least 2 times the monthly rent. Eligibility is based on projected income, not solely on past pay stubs.
Is there a minimum credit score?
No. There’s no minimum credit score requirement, and we encourage anyone with no or low credit to apply.
Do you accept housing vouchers?
Yes. We accept Housing Choice Vouchers.
Do I have to prove my income?
Yes, please provide 4 recent consecutive pay stubs, and any and all other income received (proof of Benefits letter for Social Security, SSDI, SSI, Retirement, Child Support, Self Employment, Unemployment Benefits,...)
How long does the application process take?
Usually 3 to 10 days. Providing all required documentation up front makes the process faster.
What if I’ve had a prior eviction or a past balance?
If you’ve had a prior eviction or an outstanding balance or collections from a previous apartment community, we will review your application with our management team and let you know if you are approved.
How does the waitlist work?
If other applicants are already on the waitlist for the units you qualify for, their applications are reviewed first. If there’s no waitlist, you’ll move ahead to a tour and final review.
What if my income changes after I move in?
Income is verified at the time of application. Annual recertification may be required depending on your unit type.
