    Units and Management are great

    December 10, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
    My apartment feels bright and comfortable, with a layout that actually makes sense and plenty of storage. Maintenance has been quick, professional, and genuinely friendly every time I’ve needed anything. The staff is welcoming and easy to communicate with, which makes a big difference day-to-day. Overall, The Iris is a great place to call home. Safe, quiet, well-managed, and in an amazing area. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an apartment in Arvada!

    Zero communication from staff

    May 26, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
    I've been trying to get in contact with their leasing agent for 2 weeks now. I've been promised 5 times that I will receive a call back by a certain time of day, not once have they followed through. I've left several messages asking to have them call me back I don't believe they've listened to any of them. Twice I've been hung up on when i call. Extremely frustrating

    Avoid at all costs

    February 14, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
    They allowed the roof to actively leak into our home for nearly 19 weeks before the repair was complete. Every maintenance request we’ve ever put in has needed multiple repairs or come undone within 24 hours. They shut off our heat for hours “by mistake while remodeling the downstairs unit”. This whole property is cheap and cannot afford to properly make repairs.

    The worst place I’ve ever lived

    September 26, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
    This is the worst place to live! Bed bugs everywhere, rude staff! Lost my lease and wouldn’t give me a copy! Homeless problem will try breaking into your house.

    Awesome community vibes!!!

    Terrible Staff/People

    August 2, 2017 - Review from Apartments.com
    They are horrible people. The older lady in the office is a wench. She talks to you like you're 5 and yells at you if you have any questions. So my roomate had ACL surgery on the 28th. We are supposed to have our cars out before the 2nd for them to repave it. We call and ask if she can keep her car there till 9AM so she can get to her car and get to her post surgery appointment. They say yeah thats fine. Come out the next morning and her car is towed at it costs us $300 on the day rent is due. ...
    Now they are trying to evict us. CROOKS! They will also claim you have thousands in damages, take your whole deposit and run. Happened to my friend next store.

    I'm truly satisfied with my apartment. The staff at Mesa Verde is beyond friendly and the community is very nice. For an older building they have a very clean and tidy place, they have taken really good care of the property and it shows. Thanks for everything!

    Rip offs don't walk RUN away

    February 8, 2016 - Review from Apartments.com
    These apartments are ok if you want your rent to go up every month after your lease is up, and then on top of that pay $50 more a month for having to go month to month. If you question them on anything then you can sign a new lease forcing you to do month to month, if there is anything wrong i mean ANYTHING (stains, burns, doors, really i mean be picky)with the apartment when you do a walk through you need to tell them or they will charge you. Also if you don't live there longer then 18 months ...
    you have to pay for everything new.(carpet,paint,ect.)They don't fix anything. You have to pay for not only your water bill but the Neighbor as well(they say there is hot water heater in every apartment no there is not, so you can't control how hot your water is). A few of the office staff are rude. You call for maintenance work to be done they come out in a timely fashion but then tell you nothing is wrong. If you notice on some of the buildings they have new windows and the other buildings have the old windows which let in a bunch of the air and there goes your heat and they will not fix them.
