Move-In Ready 2BR/2BA Ground-Floor Condo Steps from CU Anschutz
Step into a contemporary ground-floor condominium in the gated Cottage Grove community — a practical, well-appointed home built in 2018 and offered fully move-in ready. The open living plan centers on a kitchen dressed with dark cabinetry, granite counters, and room for casual dining. Hardwood-style floors run through the main living areas, and the covered patio directly off the living room extends your living space for BBQs or an easy morning coffee spot.
Both bedrooms are generously sized for the footprint. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet plus a private bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub/shower. The second full bath shares the same modern finishes. Washer and dryer are in-unit and convey with the sale, as do kitchen appliances — a convenience for busy professionals or first-time buyers aiming for a low-maintenance lifestyle.
Cottage Grove benefits from recent community investments: the association reports roof and window replacements completed in 2025, removing a common near-term capital concern. The condo’s location is a major draw — less than three miles from the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, Children's Hospital, and the VA, and with straightforward access to I-70, I-225, DIA, and nearby light rail stops. Retail essentials are minutes away (King Soopers, local fitness, Stanley Marketplace and coffee shops), making everyday errands quick and convenient.
This unit works equally well for owner-occupiers seeking proximity to major medical employers or investors targeting solid rental demand from hospital staff and graduate students. Note: the listing indicates the community is not currently approved for FHA or VA lending; buyer financing eligibility should be confirmed with their lender.

A factual market snapshot around 1614 Granby Way #103.
This part of central Aurora (Fitzsimons / Cottage Grove area) has experienced steady demand driven by large employment centers — primarily CU Anschutz and affiliated hospitals. Condos in this submarket are particularly attractive to medical professionals and staff who value short commutes and low-maintenance living. Over the past 12 months, well-priced turnkey condos have been selling within 3–6 weeks; inventory remains moderate to tight. Price sensitivity exists across condo projects depending on HOA governance and reserve health — well-managed newer projects command premiums. At $289,900, this condo sits competitively against similarly sized units in the area and should draw interest from both owner-occupiers and investors if the HOA/financing details align.
