Poor management
August 31, 2022
They do not maintain their apartments at all. They also will not hire any help to take care of problems within the apartments, so you are fairly well stuck with whatever is wrong with your apartment. When I first arrived I had broken internet, a broken fridge, paint all over the floor, a clogged and broken garbage disposal, and a broken but functioning toilet. I had also talked to many people within the apartment and their situation is the same. This stuff should be fixed over the summer since ...
that’s when their leases start and end and with most of their tenants being college students. The staff is good but the corporate branch does not make their job easy for them whatsoever.

Highly recommended!
May 16, 2020
Great value for Boulder students living off campus. Sterling has a pool, hot tub, and gym on site, and all utilities (including internet) are included in rent. Each unit comes with a washer/dryer (not coin operated), a large television, and good quality kitchen appliances. Lease terms are catered toward students. Friendly front office staff are responsive to any maintenance issues if they come up, and are dedicated to keeping the property in excellent condition.

3 year resident
May 13, 2020
I’ve live here for 3 years as a student at CU. Optimal location for walking to campus. The facilities are great, the amenities are amazing and always well kept. There is plenty of space to hang around the property in the common areas. And in unit washer dryer is the best part.

Great off campus housing
May 8, 2020
Sterling has lots of amenities (pool, gym, game lounge, and more), the front office staff (Brittany in particular) have been really helpful when I need something, the WiFi is fast and all utilites are included in rent, and the location is superb for walking / biking to campus every day. If you are looking for an off campus apartment near to CU, Sterling is worth checking out!

Great staff and Utilities

The staff here are helpful and very friendly and take good care of the apartments. The only issue I've had living here came from the other residents but for the most part I've had a great experience living here.

Best local living spot!
April 29, 2020
The staff are nice and excellent. The rooms are a really neat setup with a great community feel and still have privacy too. Each unit has their own TV, with fast internet service and I have lived here for two years and they have been super friendly and accomadating to my needs. My roommates were all super easy to live with and really good matches. I haven't had that experience at other apartment complexes. I definitely recommend living here for single adults, college students, and young couples.

Do not live here.
July 20, 2018
Living at sterling has been one of the worst experiences. The wifi will randomly turn off and it will take them 2 months to finally fix. The hot tub never works. The leasing office will often shut down early, which is inconvenient since that means you'll be unable to get your packages. There is always a party going on by the hot tub, which can be fun occasionally, but more often than not its just a bunch of people being loud and openly doing drugs while you are trying to sleep. My point overall ...
is do not live here. Its small, crowded, and cheaply made. Do not live here.

Things break, but the people are great
February 25, 2018
To be honest, Sterling is not perfect. It has it's issues, and things break sometimes. But the staff does a wonderful job making up for it, and making it an overall great place to live. (Special shout-out to Marvell. While things do break a little less than an ideal amount, he does a great job getting things fixed/replaced as quickly as possible. He handles every maintenance issue himself, and is a super hero.) It helps that most(all?) of the front desk staff also live in the building, so they ...
are not detached about any issues - they are invested in keeping The Peaks clean and comfortable, and when you walk into the office they are always eager to chat and get to know you; after-all, they are our neighbors as well. (Special shout-out to Rachel in the front office. She is one of the sweetest people I know, and she is always willing to help out where she can, or answer any questions you may have. No problem is too petty for her to listen to and understand, and I promise you'll leave with a smile after talking to her. Brittany and Chris are also splendid; I just personally haven't had as much interaction with them as with Rachel and Marvell). Also, this is a great place to move if you are new to Boulder and don't know anyone. I have met so many people here, whether it was at the fire, the pool, the hot tub, or the game room/vending machines. Definitely going to move out with more friends that I moved in with. There is a survey you take when you move in that matches you up with your roommates, and while this is not an exact science, I got matched up with two of the greatest humans.

Must be desperate to live here.
October 20, 2017
Do not plan on living here unless you want a “whole room” yourself (you’ll understand when you take a tour). The rooms are so small if you plan on living with somebody else. The roommate matching is not good and asking the staff to switch leads to a big hassle. Their selling point is the outside area with the pool and hot tub but after a next month the lights get taken off and pool and hot tub aren’t on— you eventually just have a dark outside area with 2 puddles of water. Also there are no ...
elevators, so good luck moving in/out. The parking lot is ridiculous!! Having to pay $50 every month and booting cars 24/7 eveutalu making them pay $120 to get it off, I get it, you have to be strict but calm down.

SUP
May 22, 2017
I don't think I've ever written a review before, but was beyond compelled to after my experience at Sterling University Peaks. I have never been treated with such consistent kindness, attention, and respect as I have by the team here. Everyone is always in a good mood, eager to help and quick to do so. I have never been made to feel that a repair request was too small or inconvenient. Marvel is Awesome!! When you rent, it is easy to feel that you are wasting your money or not getting your money's ...
worth, but this is the first time I felt that my rent is also contributing to a higher level of service, quality, and care. I would highly recommend Sterling University Peaks if you are considering moving to the area!

Sterling Peaks is the Beesknees ;P
May 22, 2017
Sterling has been great! Super cute apartments and the management staff has been nothing short of amazing here. The common areas are always kept nice and neat, whenever you enter the office the staff is always warm and inviting. Very comfortable living here, there is a sense of community in this apartment complex. Great location, close to campus!!
