Stay away from this place. Whereas everything started off fine, it ended in a nightmare and with us out an extra $6,300. I have never written a Yelp review, but I am so disgusted by the way the Hillcreste management and AIMCO conducts business that I felt obligated to share our negative experience and warn people before they sign a lease. Please know that my husband and I are reasonable people, both physicians, we have two kids and have never had legal issues in the past. Long story short, we needed to terminate our 7 month lease early. They gave us two options- either pay one month's rent ($3,000) or take our chances and hope that they find someone to rent our unit before we leave, in which case we would owe nothing. Two weeks after we gave notice, I called to ask if a friend who needed a place to live could take over our unit and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they had already found someone to rent our unit. Of course, we were thrilled and were looking forward to getting back our security deposit and getting out of there. We moved into our new home soon after and 3 WEEKS later we received a call saying the renters backed out and we were now obligated to pay the remainder of the lease. This was after we had spent the money we had saved on furniture for our new home, AND after my friend had already found a new place to live. Although initially the management apologized (clearly recognizing their wrongdoing), they soon denied any responsibilty and were unwilling to negotiate at all. They sent us to collections and because we didn't want to damage our pristine credit (or hire a lawyer which would cost thousands), we felt we had no choice but to pay it. I am appalled at their behavior and regret having ever moved in there. In addition to the above, the elevator broke down constantly and often took all day to fix which was unacceptable given the fact that i had a new born and had sustained an injury that made walking difficult...
