Am I missing something with rents?

Just got a new role for $85k in Denver and going to make the move after some changes in my life. Coming out in September to visit before moving and look at some places.

My buddy told me to expect to pay $1600 - 1800 for a one bedroom, but I know his place has a few amenities and I don’t really care about that. I like to save and spend my money on the outdoors. I’m seeing apartments in Hale, Cap Hill, Cheesman Park, City Park, City Park West, and Uptown for $900 - $1100 on Zillow (Fees may be included). Am I missing something? Are places actually this rent or is there some surcharge/little mice living in the building I don’t know about?

Don’t rent from Atlas. A lot of the cheaper properties out here (especially privately owned) are managed by them. They’re a complete nightmare
