Coyote Ranch Apartments

The maintenance is okay and the people in the office are nice enough, but don’t expect things to get done. Parking is atrocious, which is expected at apartment complexes. Because of this, we pay an extra $ 25 for a spot in one of the car ports. On 4 separate occasions in the past month, I’ve come home to someone parked in it. I was told that if I call the tow company with my lease paperwork they will tow the car. Didn’t happen, it has to be initiated through management who aren’t there. Something has to be done and they have to take ownership of the parking situation. It’s absolutely ridiculous that I can’t have the spot we are paying for and have no recourse when someone parks in it. They play a lot of the blame game, especially when our roof was leaking and instead of saying we will get this done they blamed the roofers. It doesn’t matter, your property figure it out. We will NOT be renewing our lease.

Out of all the apartment experiences I’ve had, this one was the worst! The maintenance and buildings were okay, however. This place was terrible at managing, especially parking. Due to the limited parking spaces or just too many people per unit, you could never find a spot near by after 5pm. I even had to park outside the whole complex a couple of times (automatic gates that close on some sides of the complex in the evenings did not help, it only made it worse). Also don’t park by the grass if you care about your cars paint, their sprinklers left hard water stains which were very difficult to remove. Their solution was to issue parking permits to place on your rear view mirror. The only problem with that was, it did not make a big difference with the parking situation. Plus the plastic parking permit was likely to slip off or hide when putting a sun cover in your windshield. You wouldn’t think it was a big deal until they tow away your brand new car because of it. After having to pick up my car near downtown and paying about $ 200 or more in fees, i did see that the parking permit slipped off so I just let it go that time. BUT THEN… One day the apartments decided to have an event which they were using the parking lot in front of the leasing office (the only place left to park in the evenings). Apparently they gave a notice that all cars needed to be clear that weekend, but I know I wasn’t the only one who didn’t get the memo, as there were several towed cars that day including my sister’s. When we confronted them about the missing cars and the terrible lack of communication from the management they wanted us to pay another fee just so they could tell us where our cars were located! We refused to pay and figured the cars were near by somewhere (there were too many cars towed to move them all to downtown this time). Fortunately we were right and found the cars located on the other half of the complex across the street. But who knows how many residents were hustled that day… Our lease was up shortly after so I just decided to leave the place and leave this review as well.

Great location, staff needs improvement. Don’t count on any follow up. If you have a problem in your apartment plan to fix it yourself or have to call about ten times for them to come over. Gym is dirty.

The apartment community is in a nice locality and pretty decent facilities, now that does not complete a good living experience. The management guys are pretty rude and casual about the complaints. Now I moved within the apartment complex and I find that my stuffs are stolen by the cleaning company. I have been following uo with the management about this and they seem to take a casual stance about it. It has been 2 weeks now and I’m yet to hear back on anything positive.
Stay here if you want to have all those fun events, but when you get into a problem I guess they test your patience. This apartment complex is ideal for folks who do not get stressed out in any situation. Good luck living here.

I’ve lived here for about 5 months. I’ve lived in apartments for the past 7 years, for better or for worse. I know that apartments aren’t perfect all the time and I think I have reasonable expectations. This apartment complex is huge, so I’m mainly talking about the area in which I live.
Parking: If you work late shifts, expect to park very far away from your apartment, unless you happen to pick an apartment near the visitor parking that is adjacent to the trails/​ecological park. For us, we live on the other side of the complex. We’ve been promised the moon by the management to fix this issue, but nothing has come about. Even if you don’t work late shifts, you’ll probably have to park a good walking distance away from your apartment.
Pool: It is very nice! That is, when it isn’t swarming with kids or adults with beers and cigarettes. For the record: On the signs in the pool area and on the piece of paper that the complex staff gave us upon move in, it says that alcohol, cigarettes, horse-​playing, and jumping are not allowed. I’ve been jumped on by horse-​playing kids once and almost jumped on many other times. They climb up the walls of the waterfalls on the other side where you can’t see them coming. Sometimes the pool is just too dangerous for us and our niece. On a positive note, when there aren’t any horse-​playing kids or cigarette smoke, the pool is very pleasant and the other parents and younger kids are always super nice. When I’ve complained about these issues to the staff, they told me that they themselves didn’t know the pool rules. I had to direct them to the pool rules sign. So… yeah.
Staff: I don’t know. The maintenance staff is pretty good. No complaints there. They’ve always been nice, quick, and do the job. The office staff is kind of… uh…some of them leave something to be desired. I understand they’re just doing their jobs. I guess my real complaint is with management. I wish they’d do something to fix the parking and the pool area.
Dogs: I have two dogs. There are tons of doggy-​bag stations for you to get a bag to clean up your dog’s poop. I haven’t noticed any problem in my area with excess poop, barking, or aggressiveness.
Kids: There is an elementary school down the street, so there is noise from them walking home in the afternoons. Sometimes you can hear and see them outside playing. No complaints about the kids outside of the pool.
Noise: It’s pretty quiet. Neighbors come and go and sometimes you can hear them, but that’s normal for apartment life. On weekends, sometimes you can hear music at night, but it’s usually gone by midnight.
Safety: I have concerns for safety when we have to park across the street on the other side of the complex late at night (for any reason, whether it’s a late shift, emergency, or whatever, it doesn’t matter). Some of the lamps are not working and we have to walk through dark areas to get back to our apartment.
Utilities: We are spending way more on our utilities at this place than at our previous apartment.
Water: The water is hard. It sucks. There’s nothing you can do except live with the smell of chlorine on yourself, on your towels, in your bathroom, or you can buy water filters for all of your faucets. I opted for the filters. (I previously lived in an area of the metro where the water was not quite so hard as Arapahoe county).
Plumbing: Our toilet overflowed the first day that we lived here. It has stopped up several times since. Our tub drains have also stopped draining a couple of times. When we first moved in, our second bathroom’s shower water wouldn’t flow whatsoever.
Cleanliness: The grounds are kept up and look very clean. The inside of our apartment was super clean when we moved in.

This place is great!
The apartments are super affordable and way bigger than some of the other (more expensive) complexes in the area.
Maintenance guys are super nice and respond very quickly to maintenance requests.
James in the office is hilarious and awesome. He helped us with choosing our apartment and location, and I’m glad we listened to his advice. We NEVER have any issues with parking (or really anything for that matter) which has been a huge issue in the past with other apartment complexes.
Only complaint (which has nothing to do with the apartments themselves) are our REALLY noisy neighbors, but hey what can you do – that’s what you get with apartment living.
Great place to live, I’d definitely recommend to others :)

Drawn in by the «luxury» apartment sign. Sold our house and had two weeks to find a place to live. This place did leases under 12months so that’s what drew us in initially. Pool is nice if it’s ever open and not down for maintenance. Tried three times this week to go to the pool and it’s just a breeding ground so we just go to the Cherry Creek Res. 24 hour maintenance is a joke. Called with an a/​c issue and the answering service said he can’t guarantee someone to be able to assist us tonight but he’ll do what he can. Received numerous warnings from management because our trash can only be placed outside between 6−8pm, both my wife and I work nights so that’s not in the cards. Too bad. The tenants across the way put their trash out on days they don’t pick up so I don’t really care. The gym is a total waste of time. If you’re looking to just do treadmill running, great place. Random dumbbell weights and half of the machines are broken or damn near it and no sign of any maintenance for it. Save yourself the headache and get a 24hr membership down the road. management is hit or miss. Huge attitude out of James. very threatening and power trip city. overall this place isn’t worth the money and parking after 8pm is a pain during the week. people here aren’t very friendly either. Just my 2 cents. Take what you want from it, but what do I know.

We moved into Coyote Ranch after having horrible service and maintenance issues at another Centennial Apartment Complex. When we rented the apartment James and Cindy were very helpful working around our move in date and making sure our apartment was ready to go and in excellent condition when we did move in.
When my job forced us to move 7 months into our lease to an area Simpson did not have a property, James and Cindy worked with us to find a new renter to take over our lease and made sure the transition went smoothly for us and the new tenants. The community is great when it comes to activities and keeping the residents informed and involved. and the maintenance crew was always very polite, quick to respond and fixed things rights the first time. Also very responsive to resident request, we wanted closer pet waste station and got them put in, and many people wanted recycling and they are beginning to implement it. We were very happy with our experience there and would recommend it again and again.
The parking is a hassle at times if you get in later than 9pm, but it is an apartment complex, what can you expect?

Pool: nice looking when open, and when it is, just totally over run by kids.
Gym: awesome, great activities, zumba, yoga, etc. They should make it mandatory for people to wear deodorant when working out.
Garbage pickup: great when u don’t want to carry your trash in the snow to the dumpster. Sucks when u get a written warning by trash police because you put trash out 2minutes before they picked it up.
Apartment: looked great, then we moved in. Thin walls, dirty carpets, half of outlets dont work in kitchen, faucet in kitchen leaks, tub faucet leaks.
Management: nice one day, unfair the next (probably bipolar)
Enough said???

I cannot believe how bad these places are. First of all they force you to pay a monthly fee to have your trash taken from your door to the trash can, you can’t opt out. Secondly, there is absolutely no parking and they ticket you if you park someplace you shouldn’t. If there were available spaces, I could understand, but there aren’t.
