The first few months of living at PM were incredible and my positive review from that time period below. With that being said, all of the people we know (from living there) who have run for the hills (like we did) have reminded me that it would probably be best for me to leave a more accurate review.... We moved out largely because of serious safety concerns (which we were told weren't legitimate because he "probably won't act on his threats", *even after* quoting the "Good Neighbor Agreement", which states that *any* threats, harassment (which we also experienced from the same resident, who was still being allowed to live at the property when we realized our best course of action to protect ourselves was to break our lease), etc. are grounds for eviction). Aside from our own safety concerns, there were also frequently police on the property to contact residents who were belong loud (normal for most any property), threatening (we were told not to leave our apartments while they looked for someone, in one instance), or harassing other residents. While many of the residents who caused some of the more serious issues were forced to leave the property, some were not, and the frequency of incidents was much higher than in any of the other 5 properties we have lived at in Boulder (including where we are now, so their claims of the rising crime in Boulder being at fault in responses to other negative reviews are b.s.). There was *also* frequent crime from outside sources, which included (on more than one occasion) thieves making it through multiple "locked doors" to remove a good number of expensive bikes and other equipment. On three occasions, we received notices that security was being hired, but we only ever saw one person sitting in their car night after night (when break-ins happened after security "had been hired" we were told it was when security was doing rounds. No one we know at the property *ever* saw security "doing rounds".). We had some frustrations with paying for amenities we were not allowed to use and such, but COVID was hard for everyone, so that doesn't really contribute to the score of this review. The one extra star (over the obligatory 1 star) is because the maintenance and cleaning teams are some of the kindest, most competent people I've ever met. They go above and beyond (especially since the build was rushed and many issues arose for us (both places we lived in the complex) and many of our neighbors/friends due to the corners that were cut). I cannot speak highly enough of these people and the interactions we had with them Old Review: I love having watched Parc Mosaic grow from day 1 (at least of it having residents)! While there are always quirks with living in a community while it's being constructed, it was so fun to get to see what new plants would have been planted or buildings would have been constructed upon returning from work. But that is in the past... The other thing that has been a highlight since day 1 is that Parc Mosaic truly is a community. My favorite part of living here is the people: the residents, the staff... one of the biggest things that I've missed during the quarantine is running into people who quickly became good friends in the hallways, courtyards and patios. Both the residents and staff take the time to stop and talk about what is really going on in your life and theirs. When we aren't all quarantined, there are events held where we can all celebrate holidays and learn new skills (like bike maintenence and succulent care!).
