Learn moreA major in-city Level I trauma and burn center
HCA HealthONE Swedish Medical Center, 501 East Hampden Avenue, sits directly within Englewood city limits -- a 504-bed hospital and Level I trauma AND burn center serving Colorado and the broader Rocky Mountain region. This is a major healthcare anchor that neither Littleton (which relies on the smaller, 231-bed AdventHealth Littleton plus proximity to this same Swedish Medical Center just across its own city line) nor Northglenn carries to the same degree.
Crime data: a genuine, disclosed concern relative to Littleton and Northglenn
Both major sources reviewed this session read Englewood as meaningfully higher-crime than either Littleton or Northglenn, built alongside this record. CrimeGrade cites an overall rate of 65.85 per 1,000 residents (a crime occurring on average every 1 hour 30 minutes) and a violent-crime rate of 5.324 per 1,000. NeighborhoodScout cites an overall rate of 58 per 1,000 (a 1-in-17 chance of victimization). Both figures run roughly double the comparable figures found for Littleton and Northglenn. This is disclosed directly rather than softened.
No specific area named as unsafe, per site policy
A secondary source listed comparatively safer Englewood neighborhoods (Cherry Hills Village City Center, Algonquin Acres, Valley Country Club Estates, Homestead, Spring Creek at Foxridge), but that list is not repeated here as an implicit ranking of other areas -- consult CrimeGrade.org or NeighborhoodScout directly for address-specific data.
