About the property

Smart Updated 1‑Bed Condo in Sable Cove — Move‑In Ready

This bright, efficiently planned 1-bedroom condominium in the Sable Cove community delivers exceptional value and move-in convenience. At 482 square feet the layout preserves distinct living, dining and sleeping zones — giving the feel of a one-bedroom while maximizing usable space. Practical updates including vinyl plank flooring and refreshed laminate countertops finished with epoxy create a clean, modern palette that’s easy to maintain. The kitchen is equipped with full-size appliances (refrigerator, range/oven, disposal and dishwasher) and smart countertop upgrades that elevate daily use without costly renovations.

Located at 912 S Dearborn Way #20, this first-floor unit offers straightforward access and the simple living model many buyers prioritize — lower upkeep, fewer stairs, and efficient utility usage. There’s no attached garage; instead the property relies on community surface parking which is typical for this condominium setting. The Sable Cove neighborhood places you a short drive from commuter corridors that connect to downtown Denver and the Tech Center, while local shopping, dining and parks are within easy reach.

This condo is ideal for first-time buyers seeking an affordable path to homeownership or investors looking for a turnkey rental product. The unit’s size and finishes reduce upfront cost and minimize ongoing maintenance. With a recent 2020 sale at $109,678 and an asking price of $129,964, the property sits competitively within Aurora’s entry-level condo market.

Editorial market perspective

Aurora’s condo market in 2026 favors properly priced, move‑in ready units under $150K. Inventory for small condos remains tight compared to the pool of first‑time buyers and investors seeking single‑bedroom rentals. Median single-family prices in the broader Aurora area sit well above this price point, which keeps demand strong among buyers priced out of single-family homes. Expect faster turn times for competitively priced sub-500 sqft condos; buyers should verify financing options, and investors should confirm rental comparables that currently place 1BR rents in the $1,100–$1,350/month range. Given recent appreciation in the Denver-Aurora corridor, this listing is positioned as an attractive entry or hold asset for modest appreciation and rental income.
