* I edited this after my move out experience and after living in another place for a few months, originally I gave this place a 2 star. I lived at the complex for a year. So the PROS are: 1.) The apartment itself - There are granite counters in the kitchen, wood floors throughout (which is rare) and the layout of our place and the space of the room and closet, are great. The apartment is pretty much what gives this place two stars instead of a one star. The only bad thing is that the paint is mat and marks up super easy and can't really be cleaned. This (and my leasing agent who isn't there anymore) are the main reasons we got this place. 2.) The location is pretty nice as it is close to the A-line so it is easy to get downtown and not have to deal with parking. Additionally it is close to the I-225 and I-70 for getting around Denver. Now for the CONS: 1.) While they just re-did the main community space, it is useless. It is only open during office hours so it is more of less something to look at then actually enjoy. Note this could have changed but is not likely. For such high rent there are no extras. Every place I toured has a free coffee/tea/hot cocoa machine but not this place. Additionally every place I toured pretty much when looking for a new place had a business center or community events at least every month like open bars or at my current place paint and wine. 2.) This somewhat goes with the above, but in my building there are call boxes but they are useless, thus you can't just buzz someone in. This isn't the only technical issue that has occurred. The workers (not the apartments fault) screwed up so bad when the redid the pool area, that there is no longer a hot tub, you have to walk to a completely different area for the hot tub not and can no longer go between the two. 3.) There is more construction that is going to happen and I have no clue why they are taking the bridges away, but be warned there may be months of inconvenience if you live in unit 1 or 2. 4.) The staff when I first moved in was amazing which shows as they got promoted to high positions. With that though the new management had a high turnover and was terrible at getting back to me on issues like repainting a wall or cleaning the apartment. Be prepared to pay their $100+ cleaning fee. No hiring your own people. As for painting my place I had so many mixed answers that I had to contact the old manager that was high up in the company to get an answer. The staff here went in the crapper and even the maintenance manager left. It got crappier too because they raised rent alot as well as the fees. When I was there parking was $20 a car for the garage and now I think it's $40-60 a car. This place is not worth it at all. Overall thoughts, if you want an apartment that is nice (though not as modern as some) and more spacious, and you don't care about the little things like free coffee or community events every month and are willing to pay about what you would downtown, then I would say go for it. But honestly, I wished I would have known that the main, renovated community space would have a very limited time window for use and the theater would have been useless, it just looks nice. Lastly I wish the management and my leasing agent who was amazing were still there because the people that came in after made my experience toward the end so much worse.
