What we found

A 3.5-star property in Cherry Creek with deep structural problems. Reviewers consistently report broken elevators, dirty breezeways, overflowing dumpsters, unchecked dog waste, and smoking in common areas. Management ignores requests for basic fixes; some residents cite safety concerns including trespassing, substance use on premises, and maintenance staff misconduct. The location and amenities draw residents, but chronic neglect and poor enforcement drive people away.

  • Pet-friendly policy
  • Some staff professionalism (noted by departing residents)
Watch-outs
  • Unresponsive maintenance and management
  • Frequent elevator outages
  • Dirty common areas and inadequate waste management

3.0(190)✓ Google-verified

Kevin Vazquez and front office staff (Jenni, Jenny López) consistently earn praise for attentive, patient leasing support and clear communication. Apartments feel spacious, clean, and well-kept on move-in. Yet management fails residents on ongoing problems: noise complaints from neighboring units go unaddressed despite repeated reports, pet waste accumulates across grounds, and safety issues at night concern female tenants. These gaps between initial experience and daily living stack problems.

Perch

4.1(125)✓ Google-verified

Perch wins residents over with spacious, attractive units and genuinely helpful staff, particularly during leasing and move-in. The on-site Golden Hour bar and pool create real community appeal. Yet serious frustrations undermine the luxury pitch: WiFi is unreliable and residents pay $73 monthly for a poor provider they cannot replace, cars get towed frequently with little warning, and sound travels so freely between units that neighbors' conversations are audible. Hot water and pest issues add to the sense that service doesn't match the premium price. Management handles lease paperwork well but falters on maintenance coordination and clarity around policies. Some residents praise quick responses; others report poor communication and issues left unaddressed. The dog park becomes unusable in rain, and package security is weak. For those willing to accept infrastructure trade-offs and parking limits, the community and staff charm carry real weight.

Long-term residents praise the pet-friendly grounds, nature preserve access, and community events. Friendly maintenance responds quickly to most requests. However, recent reviews describe the office manager as dismissive about repairs, unresponsive to complaints, and unprofessional. Units are dated for the price, and amenities like the gym fall neglected. Split tenant experiences depend heavily on management interactions and which building your apartment is in.
