As far as apartments go, this is probably the best one I've lived in. Yeah, you get some normal apartment noise - you hear your neighbors going up and down the stairs and you hear them a bit when everyone is getting home from work and moving around more, but overall noise hasn't been an issue. My building isn't located near the road, and other than the occasional sound of people getting in/out of their cars it seems like a pretty quiet complex. There are kids who run around after school screaming, literally screaming, but they go inside around 7:30pm or so, and I guess kids running around outside is better than them sitting inside watching TV all day. I usually have to wear ear plugs to sleep, but I haven't had any problems with noise at night here so far.
Sara and Logan in the office are really nice. I moved here from Texas and they were super helpful and got me into an apartment with no hassle and they made the whole process very clear throughout. They always answer the phone when I call and the leasing office itself is well kept.
This is an older complex, but the parking lot and grounds are clean and I see the maintenance guys going around and I think I even saw someone sweeping up near one of the dumpsters. So far everything in my apartment works fine, and considering how spacious these apartment are and the amenities, this place is really affordable. I have a 2 bed/2bath for $1445 and I have a friend who lives in a new complex and she's paying $1400 for a small 1 bed/1bath. Yeah, there are a few rough edges here and there, but the apartment has been updated and I have no issues.
I hear my neighbors doing normal stuff throughout the day and you hear the occasional dog barking, but it's not prolonged and I haven't seen doggy messes anywhere, so either the neighbors are picking up after themselves or the maintenance guys are.
This complex is amazingly located near several stores and major roads, but the roads around the complex aren't super busy or noisy, which is a big plus. And this is a nice middle class area, so you feel safe and there are several pretty neighborhoods to go for walks through. There is a random guy who might be homeless who pushes a shopping cart through the parking lot, but he seems harmless, and Denver is a big city, so I think you're going to see stuff like that everywhere now and then!
Researching apartments out of state made it seem really scary to move here due to reading crazy reviews, and I did see some negative reviews for this complex, but I've been here a week and I don't have anything negative to say so far. All in all this is a pretty great complex, and I'm sure there may eventually be some issues, since people come and go, and we might get some bad neighbors now and then, but the office staff here seem really nice and I feel like they'd address any concerns I may have as long as I approach them in a friendly way!
