    What's special

    Exceptional income-producing opportunity in the heart of Aurora. Offering the ideal blend of cash flow potential, flexibility, and location, 1281 & 1285 Alton Street present a rare chance to own a townhome-style duplex just minutes from some of the Denver metro area's largest employment hubs and most desirable destinations. Each unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, private entrances, and thoughtfully designed living spaces that appeal to both tenants and owner-occupants alike. Whether you're an experienced investor looking to expand your portfolio, a first-time buyer interested in offsetting your mortgage through rental income, or seeking a multigenerational living solution with built-in privacy, this property offers endless possibilities. Unit 1281 is further enhanced by an oversized detached two-car garage, providing valuable off-street parking, additional storage, or workshop space, while both residences offer functional outdoor areas that increase tenant appeal and everyday livability. Strategically positioned near UCHealth Anschutz Medical Campus, Fitzsimons Innovation Community, Stanley Marketplace, and the vibrant Lowry neighborhood, residents enjoy convenient access to major employers, dining, entertainment, shopping, parks, and commuter routes throughout the Denver metro area. The continued growth and redevelopment throughout the surrounding area further support strong long-term investment potential. Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find: a well-located duplex offering immediate income potential, owner-occupant flexibility, and the ability to build wealth through real estate. Whether your strategy is to lease both units, live in one while renting the other, or hold as a long-term investment, 1281 & 1285 Alton Street deliver the versatility today's buyers are seeking.
