I've lived in a few apartments, though this is our first in greater Denver. In terms of management I'm overall happy. The mgmt company has changed twice in the past year, but the transitions have been mostly smooth.
Positives:
Connected to Bear Creek trail system
Dog park, two pools with hot tubs, gym, and tennis court on property
Wood burning fireplace in our unit
There are garbage cans and dog poo bag dispensers around the property.
Community garden for those with a green thumb
The office will accept packages for you
Decent parking around our building
Covered parking for a low monthly rate
Negatives:
Small kitchen in our 2/2 unit. Cabinets are acceptable if limited, but there are only two small drawers in the kitchen. Neither is big enough to be a silverware drawer.
It's been difficult getting package delivery notices. For a while they would email, then there was no system. It's not perfect, but I heard there's a plan for a 24 hour package pickup option. At least USPS leaves a note in your mailbox.
There have been car thefts in the parking lots. Lock up and don't one valuables in view. I have seen more of a security presence in the last few months, so that's good.
The website for submitting maintenance tickets is a little outdated. You can't read or edit your requests after they've been submitted. Also there's been little follow-up after work is done.
Limit of two pets, plus some dog breed restrictions that appear to be loosely enforced. I would prefer that there were no breed restrictions.
There is monthly pet rent charged for each pet. I'm used to a one-time pet fee, whether refundable or not.
