I love these apartments. I've lived here for 15 months now and have had no complaints that weren't immediately rectified. Plus there are things like free yoga, monthly events with free alcohol and food, a bike workshop, built in storage, and WONDERFUL staff (office and maintenance staff alike.) The biggest reason to move here is how dog-friendly it is. The best thing about having the outdoor park area(s) is the ability for your dog to not be tied to you on a leash and it can run around, away
...from you, and be free to play. Here's the catch: if you fail to collect your dog's waste (even accidentally) you will be slammed with a no-warning, even first time, $200 fine. The gated area is a good size, so your dog could wander out of site for a moment as you look away or talk to your neighbors. Or perhaps you pick up a pile thinking it was your dog's when it was in fact another's and you missed picking up your dog's. Or in the area covered in wood chips and hidden shrubs where it is hard to see, you will still be fined. It is mentioned only in the lease among 2,000 other things you are meant to remember. $200. Every. Time. No warning, no lower amounts. When I asked the apartments why the fine is so high, I was told it "has to be enough to cover the costs of the DNA tests." When I called the management company to try and plead for a break, my calls went unreturned. So now, even though I love living here, I have to consider breaking my lease because like most Colorado residents, I don't have $200 to spare. Furthermore, I find myself shying away from using the amenities I came here for because I have no idea how I missed it last time and am terrified if I don't keep my guy on a tight leash at all times, I will be charged again.
Don't get me wrong, you should move here. You may even get my great apartment close to the dog park. And you will make a ton of new friends with the incredible residents, one of which actually works in the office! But beware, CLOSELY WATCH YOUR DOG AT ALL TIME OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED $200 FOR EVERY SINGLE MISSED WASTE, even in snow, even when they are out of provided bags, even if you pick up after any other dogs. Unfortunately this one flaw is big enough to smother out the many benefits.
