Brooks Towers Residences

Lived here for 6 months, 900 square foot 1 bedroom was 1600/​month. Great water pressure, water gets HOT which is nice. AC and Heat always worked great. Can’t hear neighbors at all through the walls. Parking was 225 a month plus fees next door at the Curtis hotel. It’s 300 a month to park in the building but there’s usually no spots. The 24 hour ⁷⁄₁₁ and Café on the first floor are great.
The front desk staff are all excellent. They call me when I get packages, are polite and friendly, but also not nosey. I come back wasted sometimes at 2am and feel no judgement. Management office is open every day and you can go right in with any problems and get them resolved immediately. One time I had a package get lost and they tracked it down immediately.
Views are unbeatable for the price. My friend that lives in the spire pays 2600 for a smaller apartment with a view that isn’t as good. Pool and sun deck are great. Fitness center could use an upgrade but it’s still not bad, and open ²⁴⁄₇. If you want to lift heavy weights you have to go to a real gym. Conference center and resident multipurpose rooms are very nice with free WIFI.
Brooks Tower was the best place I’ve ever lived in Denver. The only downside is having to wait 5 minutes for the elevator sometimes when everyone is taking their dogs out. And the fire alarm goes off a lot which can get annoying. But overall it’s not a big deal.

I live here at the tower for the last 4 years. The location is awesome and my 20^th floor view facing the west is amazing and the best part.
I’d like to mention however that the staff is not professional and rude. Specifically office manager Nancy and parking supervisor Ian.
It makes it difficult living in an sour negative environment and where you don’t feel welcomed or properly helped from the staff of where your paying to live.
A fare Warning!

I love Brooks Tower. Best location in Denver with a ²⁴⁄₇ Doorperson, heated Garage, fantastic pool and workout room. I love that the building is dog-​friendly. The staff is terrific and the views outstanding.

I lived here once for about 8 months and I am glad I moved out.
Pros:
1. good location
2. privately owned condos
3. decent amenities (front desk, pool, gym, secure building, views)
4. parking in the garage is secure and in the same building with elevator access (if your lease includes it)
5. secure front door access
6. 24-​hour front desk attendant
7. not sure if utilities are high or not as my lease included utilities, linens, furniture, stocked kitchen, etc.
Cons:
1. laundry room is quarters and no laundry machines in individual condos
2. ceilings are low and most are popcorn (with asbestos)
3. your front door automatically locks when you close it so be prepared to be locked out occasionally
4. many units do not include parking, but some may include utilities
5. the trash chutes are loud — i lived 2 doors down from one and could here every time someone dropped something down the trash
6. you can wait 15 – 20 minutes for an elevator during peak hours
7. you can’t control whether heat or AC is on in your unit. it is controlled by the building management so during spring/​fall there is always a time when you may be uncomfortable. you can control the temperature but the building decides for everyone if heat/​AC is on.
8. building is kind of dated, both inside and out
9. buses and ambulances/​fire trucks going by are loud, especially if you work during the day from home
10. if you don’t have a parking space in your lease you have to park next door or in another lot for ~ $ 150/​month
11. if you own here, the HOA fees are very high

Loved living here! Great location, friendly staff, covered heated parking garage, huge pool are just a few of the things I really miss about the building. Hard to find all the same amenities in other condo buildings downtown.

I’ve lived here for about 9 months now and still do. I love living in this building because I love living in Downtown Denver.
Living in a building with a 7 – 11 and a Steakhouse with a great Happy Hour can be dangerous for the wallet, but it’s also really convenient and I love that.
We have a great city view & balcony as well as a decent fitness center, pool, billiard room (which you have to reserve), conference room, tenant rec room and a pretty good sized laundry room. The balcony really makes me love my apartment though.
They’ve also done recent upgrades on the décor in the lobby as well as the 3^rd floor shared areas which looks really nice. Can’t wait for summer and swimming.
Also, I’ve felt very safe here. A couple people get rowdy from time to time, but everyone’s generally been pretty nice. All the employees are also really nice and helpful.
If you’re looking for somewhere quiet… this probably isn’t the place for you. It’s loud Downtown in general, the street sweepers, drunk people, people drunk in the hallways occasionally, kids running when they visit, parades, etc. I mean, you shouldn’t be living here if you want quiet… why live Downtown then? The fire alarm goes off quite a bit sometimes… that can be pretty annoying.
Anyways, if you’re looking for a place that’s not too expensive and puts you Downtown and you still get a pool, balcony & gym, this is it.

Living in brooks tower was fantastic. The downtown location was great and each unit had an amazing amount of storage unlike many other downtown residences. And unlike other condo buildings, the pool was full size and all the neighbors were friendly. Plus it was quieter than the spire because you never heard the light rail or the convention center crowds. We also loved the heated garage!

I LOVED living at the Brooks Towers!!!
Pros: AMAZING location! It is on 15^th & Curtis St., right next to 16^th St. Mall, close to the Auraria Campus (for students), near the DCPA… just a fantastic location! Plus, our apartment had an AMAZING view of downtown and the skyscrapers, and the fireworks and Christmas parade.
The building is very secure — residents have access cards and guests must sign in. There is someone always staffing the front desk, so there is always someone to ask questions to or to make small talk with. The outdoor pool has a great view, there is an awesome billiards room and community room, and the building is connected to a 7-​eleven, La Fondue, My Express Grill and a hair place.
The studio apartment we had was big for a studio, had a HUGE outdoor patio with a large sliding glass door that kept out all noise, and the walls were thick — I’m not sure if we even had neighbors! The maintenance team responded quick to our problems and the management office was very helpful.
Cons: PARKING. Residents have to figure out their own parking — and their garage is something like $ 180 a month. We ended parking at the Convention Center about a block away that was $ 120/​month. Unless you park FAR away, you will not find cheap parking. Parking also kept guests from visiting us as often.
The fitness room is somewhat small and outdated (they don’t even have treadmills), the laundry machines can get expensive, the fire alarm went off a lot which shut down the elevators and would not be turned off until the fire department came, and while there is a good mix of students, families, and older folks, it felt like there were a lot of old folks living here. The community events don’t seem very welcoming to new people — they really just seem like the old people who live here made their own club because they are bored and retired and don’t let others in.
Despite these cons, I LOVED every second I lived here and I definitely want to return!!!

First time I lived at Brooks Tower I rented a furnished studio apartment through a company in the Larimer Square area. The price was high (you are basically paying for location, not space)-somewhere around $ 1,200, but it included everything. I had furniture, cookware, towels, cleaning supplies, you name it.
The building has a secured entrance (on 15^th and on Arapahoe), a outdoor pool, maintenance team, separate elevators for certain floors (there are 42 in the building), a huge laundry room (it only takes quarters), a billiard room, small work out room, conference room, and a lounge with free wi-​fi (it closes at 10PM but sometimes residents will try and kick you out because they have «requested the room»)
The staff at the front desk is friendly and helps you with any problem you have, but the staff in the office are horrible. They aren’t professional, they argue, and they treat some residents with more respect than others. I did not use the parking garage (it’s crazy expensive), but the parking garage at the DPAC is $ 140 a month.
Bills aren’t horrible. My electricity bill was around $ 15 a month and Direct TV comes out of your renting/​building fees (they are the only cable company that comes to the building).
Overall I would probably rate the complex as a 2.5. The location is great, especially if you work downtown and the secured entrance and 24 front desk staff very much appreciated. Unfortunately since the rent can be high (sometimes you get lucky-​I am now renting the same size studio for a cheaper price), parking is hard to find, and the staff can be difficult to work with I believe you can find better apartments that are still close to the downtown area.

Great condo complex. 24 hour security, gym, pool, city views. I am here currently with corporate housing and plan on renting a condo. Great location, great building.
The only downside is parking, which can be over $ 180 a month.
