My roommate and I have only been living at The Meadows for two months now. We have submitted at least five noise complaints and indoor smoking complaints as well. Before we moved in, we asked if we could see the actual residence - instead of the model - to avoid situations that we are encountering now, in which we were denied for different reasons depending on the occasion. Having experienced other apartments in Colorado Springs, we wanted to make sure we were not going to occupy an apartment
...that reeked of cannabis, for we don't care for it nor indulge. However, perhaps to put us at ease, the staff informed us that this was a "marijuana / cannabis" free premises and that infractions of the sort are taken seriously (this is in the lease agreement as well). Sporadic days in January and close to a week straight in February there has been such a strong aroma seeping into our apartment that in the coldest part of the winter we have had to open all the windows and the sliding door just to ventilate our own place to a comfortable living condition - this of course raises our utilities. When complaints are put in, they send their maintenance individual down to the building (outside) to see if he notices an odor...seriously. For noise complaints, a similar course of action is taken - I'm hoping their maintenance guy gets paid a lot because he seems like the only one who works here. In regards to the aforementioned comments on the meadows, I do not know what staff they are referring to because the manager here couldn't care less about the services and tranquility of the residents, just the check she is getting. The only decent human being on the staff is the younger looking, dark haired girl at the front desk (sorry I forgot her name). As if this wasn't enough, there is much more when you consider parking however, I realize some things are out of the control of the complex. Overall, if you don't mind noisy, inconsiderate neighbors and management that won't do anything to accommodate their end of a lease agreement, then The Meadows is the place for you. Nonetheless, if you have a family, have awkward shifts at work, or are single and spend time at home to unwind and relax, look elsewhere.
