Moved from out of town during Covid and we were only able to tour places virtually. One of our main concerns when moving was noise and insulation between units. We didn’t like any of the few top floor units available here, but after being promised “10 inches of concrete, and some of the best insulation in Denver” we decided to go against our gut feeling of sticking to a top floor, and sign an 8th floor apartment.
We moved to the 8th floor and we noticed issues right away. As soon as we stepped
...in, we could hear a lot of heavy stomping from upstairs. We mentioned this to management right away, and they told us nobody has complained about noise before, so the problem has to be the tenants above us. Management emailed them, and this only caused more issues, neighbors didn’t like that and the noise increased after that. Management never took any responsibility for the noise, even when providing evidence of excessive noise in the middle of the night, they just pointed fingers and blamed the people upstairs for being loud and not knowing how to live in an apartment building. The walls between apartments are paper thin, we could hear conversations from the side neighbors as well as music/bass and all sorts of noises.
Management decided to offer us the ability to move within the complex as long as the unit was more expensive and we pay a transfer fee. We were desperate enough to agree and decided to move to a townhome (they have 9 town homes, and only 2 are leased, should have been a red flag). We packed up, and moved across the building. If you haven’t seen the layout, the townhomes are two-story apartments, and there’s a flat on top of you. This was the biggest mistake we ever made. AVOID the TownHomes!!!!!! There’s a reason most of them are vacant after a year of being ready to lease. You can hear 5 times more noise from your upstairs neighbors, somehow they managed to make them even more paper thin between units. Our neighbors had kids, and we could feel (from our downstairs living room) our townhouse shake when the kids ran across, which was VERY often. It was so bad, we paid 2 months of rent to liquidate and moved out within 2 weeks of living here.
