$934,549 closed median
Redfin: all home types, three months ending August 2026, up 62.5% year over year. It reports nine August closings versus 18 a year earlier; that monthly count is not the undisclosed sample behind the three-month median.

What are Overland home values doing?
The safest answer is that Overland's small, mixed market is producing very different signals. Modeled values and asking prices are lower year over year, while one closed-sale median is sharply higher. That does not mean every Overland home gained 62.5%: the neighborhood includes older detached houses, duplexes, triplexes, condos and newer infill, and just nine August closings can shift the mix.
$489,252 modeled value
Zillow Home Value Index through August 31, 2026, down 2.4% year over year. Zillow showed 18 for-sale listings that day. Its modeled index is not a sale median, asking price or appraisal.
$649,000 asking median
Realtor.com's current neighborhood page shows the median asking price down 13.47% year over year, 35 active listings and an 80-day median market time. Its historical charts say data through August 2026.
Why is the closed median so different?
Redfin's median can jump when a small period includes more newly built or larger homes than the comparison period. Its $342 median price per square foot was down 6.7% year over year, reinforcing that the $934,549 headline should not be read as neighborhood-wide appreciation.
What should buyers and sellers compare?
Separate detached houses from attached homes and multi-unit properties. Match build era, finished area, lot, condition, parking, rail or arterial exposure and new-construction status. Sellers should weigh relevant closings against current competition; buyers should price inspections, insurance and any association obligations.
Market sources reviewed October 2, 2026: Redfin Overland housing market (MLS and/or public-record calculations; all home types; three months ending August), Zillow Overland ZHVI (modeled values and listing count through August 31), and Realtor.com Overland market (listing measures; historical charts through August). Redfin does not disclose the transaction count behind its three-month median; Zillow does not publish an index sample count; Realtor.com's 35 are active listings, not closings. Portal boundaries, update schedules and home-type mix differ. These figures are not an appraisal, an automated valuation for a particular address, a Denver recorded-transfer series or a forecast.
Tour the neighborhood's seams
How to compare Overland in one visit
Denver's adopted Southwest Area Plan frames Overland between Mississippi and Yale avenues, South Broadway and the South Platte River. Santa Fe Drive, active rail, Evans Avenue and Florida Avenue divide that frame into distinct pockets, so a neighborhood-wide label is less useful than testing the actual crossings and routes.
A four-stop field route
- 1. Start at Evans Station, 2151 S. Delaware Street. Walk the real route to a candidate address and confirm current RTD service; straight-line distance does not account for rail, Santa Fe Drive or limited crossings.
- 2. Compare a residential block south of Evans with a block nearer South Broadway. Note property type, infill, parking, sidewalks and sound at the time you would normally be home.
- 3. Head west to Overland Park Golf Course and the South Platte corridor. Locate the park or trail entrance you would actually use rather than assuming every river-edge destination connects directly.
- 4. Finish north toward Mississippi Avenue, then cross into Baker or east toward Platt Park. Compare like-for-like homes and daily routes, not the portal medians alone.
Check the immediate edge
The city plan describes industrial uses around the rail corridor, commercial development along the east edge and a wider mix of multi-unit, duplex, triplex and detached housing. At a specific property, review Denver property and permit records, then inspect major systems, drainage, additions and sound at different times.
Denver property searchWhat does the city plan mean?
Denver adopted the Southwest Area Plan on March 2, 2026. It is a 20-year policy guide for Overland and four nearby neighborhoods—not approval of every idea, a construction schedule or evidence of future appreciation. Verify current zoning and active projects for the exact parcel.
Read the adopted planPlace sources reviewed October 2, 2026: Denver's adopted Southwest Area Plan, RTD Evans Station, and the City of Denver's Overland Park Golf Course page. The plan identifies Overland Pond Park, Pasquinel's Landing and Grant Frontier Park along the river. Transit schedules, trail access, business hours and field conditions change; confirm what matters before relying on it.

Read the business SpotlightThe everyday experience
What daily life can feel like
Overland’s daily experience changes noticeably across Santa Fe Drive, the rail corridor and Evans Avenue. Residential blocks sit near South Broadway, the South Platte River, Overland Golf Course and Evans Station, but routes between those destinations are not equally direct from every address.
The honest tradeoffs
What deserves a closer look
- Rail lines, Santa Fe Drive and major streets create meaningful block-to-block differences in access and sound
- Industrial, commercial and residential uses meet in several pockets, so investigate the immediate surroundings
- Older homes, multi-unit buildings and newer projects require different inspection, parking and ownership-document reviews
Common questions
Before you tour
What makes Overland different from nearby south Denver neighborhoods?
Overland combines residential blocks with river, golf-course, commercial, industrial and rail-adjacent areas. That mix creates more variation within the neighborhood than its compact map outline might suggest.
What housing can buyers find in Overland?
The neighborhood includes detached older homes, duplexes, triplexes and multi-unit buildings. Detached homes are more common south of Evans Avenue and near Overland Golf Course, while larger buildings appear more often along major streets.
What should I compare with Overland?
Ruby Hill offers a nearby postwar and park-centered comparison across the river corridor. Platt Park and Baker provide useful comparisons for South Broadway access, older housing and different levels of commercial activity.

Neighborhood overview
What stands out
Overland does not fit one simple housing or lifestyle label. Santa Fe Drive, rail lines and Evans Avenue divide the neighborhood into distinct pockets, while South Broadway, the river corridor and Overland Golf Course create different access patterns on its edges. Buyers should compare the exact block, crossings and daily route rather than judging the area from a single visit.
