9444 E Girard Ave Unit 8 is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom ground-floor end-unit condo for sale in the gated Hampden Court community in Denver’s Hampden neighborhood, with 980 square feet on one level, central air added in 2022, in-unit laundry and a community pool.
Hampden Court sits just north of Hampden Avenue in southeast Denver, a few blocks from where the city’s grid starts to meet the Denver Tech Center and Aurora. The community is a set of low-rise buildings built in 1969 around shared lawns, a gated parking lot and a pool. Unit 8 is on the ground floor at the end of its building, which means one level of living space and one fewer neighbor on the side.
The home has been updated in the places that tend to matter most in an older condo. Central air conditioning was added in 2022, new oversized windows went into the living room and the guest bedroom the same year, and the interior has fresh paint and new bedroom carpet. The kitchen has white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a tiled backsplash, and laundry is handled inside the unit rather than in a shared room.
This post walks through the layout, the updates, what the HOA covers, what the home does not include, and what the surrounding Hampden neighborhood offers within a few minutes of the front door.

What Is Inside 9444 E Girard Ave Unit 8?
The home offers 980 square feet on a single level. The front door opens into the living room, where a wide new window (2022) faces out over the lawn and wood-look flooring runs through the main living space. The living room connects to the kitchen and dining area, so the shared rooms read as one open stretch rather than a series of closed spaces.
The kitchen runs along one wall with white shaker-style cabinets, a stainless steel refrigerator, a stainless range, a built-in microwave and a stainless dishwasher, with a tiled backsplash behind the counters and a window over the far end. Next to the kitchen, a closet holds the washer and dryer along with the water heater, which keeps the mechanicals in one accessible spot.
The primary bedroom has new carpet, a double-door closet and its own attached half bath. The second bedroom has a new oversized window (2022), its own closet and enough room for a bed and a desk. The full bathroom sits off the hallway and includes a tub with a full tile surround, a vanity and an over-the-sink mirror cabinet.
What Has Been Updated?
The updates in this home are concentrated on comfort, light and the finishes you touch every day. Here is what the sellers have completed:
- Central air conditioning added (2022)
- New oversized windows in the living room and guest bedroom (2022)
- In-unit all-in-one washer and dryer
- Fresh interior paint throughout
- New carpet in the bedroom
- Building roof replaced in recent years, per the sellers
Central air brings cooling to every room through Denver’s summer heat. The newer windows matter for more than light: larger glass in the main room and the guest bedroom changes how bright the home feels through the day, which the listing photos show clearly. Fresh paint and carpet mean the home can be moved into without a round of cosmetic work first.
What Does the HOA Cover?
The Hampden Court HOA dues are $396.88, and the sellers report that they cover water, trash, exterior insurance, groundskeeping and exterior maintenance. That list takes several of the less predictable costs of ownership off the owner’s plate, including lawn care, snow on the common areas and the building exterior itself.
Community amenities include a pool, shared green space between the buildings, and a gated parking lot. As with any condo purchase, the HOA’s budget, reserve study, insurance details and any planned assessments are worth reviewing during the due diligence period, and the FORM team can help you request those documents once you are under contract.
What Does This Home Not Include?
Being clear about what a property does not have is as useful as listing what it does. Unit 8 has no basement, and parking is in the community’s gated lot rather than a private garage. Outdoor space is shared: the building sits on common lawn, and the community pool area is a short walk away. Laundry is a single all-in-one washer and dryer unit rather than a separate side-by-side pair, so if a full-size stacked set is a priority, the closet dimensions are worth measuring during a showing.
Because Hampden Court is a condominium, exterior changes such as new doors, windows beyond those already replaced, or patio additions generally require HOA approval under the community’s governing documents. Interior updates are typically more flexible, but it is worth reading the declarations and rules before planning any work.
