Housing for Postdoctoral Researchers

Quiet, furnished housing for postdoctoral researchers relocating to Golden, CO for NLR, NREL, or Colorado School of Mines.

Research Residences is a purpose-built residence in Golden, built for researchers and academics rather than a general rental population. Private furnished bedroom, all utilities and monthly cleaning included. You can sign a lease and move in without visiting in person first — many residents relocate from out of state or internationally.

What's Included

Relocating for a postdoc appointment already means enough logistics — rent here covers all utilities and WiFi, the room comes fully furnished, and shared spaces are cleaned twice a month, so there's one less thing to set up after a move.

• All utilities and high-speed WiFi included
• Fully furnished bedroom and common spaces
• Two full-size washer/dryers per unit
• Twice-monthly cleaning of shared spaces
• Ample on-site parking
• Sound-insulated bedrooms — a genuinely quiet place to work or unwind

Who Lives Here

Postdoctoral researchers, visiting scientists, and academics affiliated with NLR/NREL and Colorado School of Mines, alongside graduate students. All residents are background-checked and screened. This is a quiet, shoeless home built around a research-focused, adult living environment — not a student party scene.

Location

1150 Nile Street, Golden, CO 80401 — 15 minutes from Colorado School of Mines by direct bus, and a 5-minute walk to NLR/NREL's South Entrance Building. Close to downtown Golden, South Table Mountain trails, and Clear Creek Canyon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sign a lease before visiting in person?

Yes. Many residents relocate from another state or country and sign a lease after a scheduled virtual tour with us — a live video call walkthrough of the space rather than an in-person visit. Photos are also available to help you decide.

Is this suitable for someone in their 30s, not just students?

Yes. Residents include postdocs, staff, and academics of all ages — this isn't an undergraduate dorm environment.
