The District

We are new residents to Colorado, we are a military family coming from single family house living on the base and wanted to live in the city in a luxury apartment with nice amenities in this move. We saw the District on our way to eat at PB across the street I immediately took onto Unilocal to see apartment reviews for we are so new here so wanted to make sure we were making the right move. Compared to other apartments this is one of the ones with the best reviews and considering we have a middle class income.
So far the apartment is great! very clean when given to us very modern amenities and any issues are handled by maintenance. The windows are very modern and block outside noise. I do not hear my next door neighbors, i do hear the footsteps of the ones upstairs.
The gym is awesome updated equipment with many uses to the weight machines, very clean and fresh.
The staff is great here! and this is very important bc there was many other apartments to consider but i saw really bad reviews. Erin and Katherine have been very welcoming and professional at all times with us!
One of the huge factors for me was that I have a toddler and didnt think the apartment was family friendly but recently discovered the courtyard were he can roam and play now i have been seeing more children and see families having picnics and tutoring sessions in the business room.
This place is pretty great and Im glad Unilocal and other review sites helped us make this choice.
Theres no cons really, only that I wish there was a coffe bar in the clubroom and that itd be fresher looking and smelling there.
I will continue updating my review since this is such a helpful tool for apartment searchers!

The District is absolutely amazing. I moved in a few weeks ago and love it! My move in was stress free. Ashley, Whitney, Kristin, and Erin are all amazing. They are all so helpful and always respond promptly. The location is great– its walking distance to king soopers, the movie theater, and various restaurants. Just down the road is an awesome 24hr. fitness and a massive whole foods.
My apartment is great! You can tell they really take care of all their units and the property. I have already used the grills in the courtyard. they are always filled with propane and clean. Lastly, the price point is great here! I work in downtown Denver and it only takes me 10 – 15 to drive into work every morning.
I definitely recommend living here!

Its not hard to find pretty places to live in Denver or DTC, with modern lobby’s and amenities galore. I think what really sets a business apart is the people and support you can rely on. My experience with Kristen the Property Manager, Erin, the office staff, and maintenance crew has been incredibly impressive. Their patience, politeness, and willingness to go above and beyond mediocrity, which is far and wide the work ethic standard in Denver, has given me and company something that can not be bought. Peace of mind.
I love my apartment, the fountains, views, gym, amazing location, plethora of conveniences, multitudes of restaurant and shopping… I would recommend this to anyone especially if you’re moving into Denver, or want to get out of Downtown areas.
Good luck, or call Kristen and you won’t need luck !!!

Been living here a year now and love it!
Can’t really beat the location. The apartments very nice and well insulated. Can’t hear any neighbors. The garage is a nice benefit especially when it snows. There is a huge hot tub open year round which is awesome. Next door to grocery store and liquor store and gas station an just about everything else you could need. Ice cream place on the property sold me.
I love my apartment. Washer and dryer in my unit. Granite countertops are nice. The big garden tub is great especially for 2 people. Walk in closet is spacious. I have a balcony with a mountain view which is priceless in my opinion. There is also elevators in the buildings so it’s nice not to have to lug groceries up stairs.
Staff has been great. The leasing girls are very sweet and the manager, Kristen, has been so helpful with any issues I had. The few maintenance issues I had were solved immediately, which I find rare for apartments these days. Most places I lived will have you waiting for weeks to fix anything. The maintenance guys are super helpful & beyond friendly. Even offering to change my burnt lightbulbs for free!
Only complaints I have. The fire station is a few streets over which can sometimes be annoying. And I wish the hot tub area would have Bluetooth speakers to connect your music to.
Overall I’d say its all of downtown, without the traffic and downtown price. Rents are a little high but almost anywhere in Denver is right now. After searching and searching, the District seemed to have it all in one great location. You may be able to find somewhere for cheaper, but you sacrifice a lot to save a couple dollars.

Clean and modern in a great neighborhood and right next to the highway.
I’ve lived at the District for the last year and this area of Denver has just continued to grow. I love being just outside of the city with quick access.
The building is clean and well taken care-​of. My apartment is spacious, quiet, and is just the perfect mix of modern appliances and detailed design.
The staff is amazing, especial Kristen Goodloe who manages the place. Definitely don’t feel like you’re dealing with a giant conglomerate.

The District is kind of a mixed bag.
On the one hand, the apartments are very nice and pretty spacious. The staff are always friendly (the maintenance staff in particular are exceedingly nice) and you have a ton of stuff all within a two block distance including: grocery store, movie theater, light rail station, dry cleaner, pet grooming, Starbucks, various restaurants, and much more.
With that said, there are a few problems here that are mostly out of their control (although some aren’t) which have caused me to knock points off. My apartment is fairly close to the Cold Stone here and the noise levels when people have wound up kids can be excessive. The rent at The District is also pretty astronomical. I moved from out of state in a rush and didn’t have time to do a lot of shopping around, very quickly discovered that I could rent a decent size 3 bedroom house in most areas of Denver (including the Highlands, near downtown, and other desirable areas) for the same cost as my one bedroom apartment. Finally, the neighbors can be pretty rude here. This isn’t a great place for community and some of the people living here are just downright nasty.

I’ve been living here about 3 months now. I moved in after a recent divorce and it is my first experience living in an apartment after many years in a single family home. After looking at many apartment options, I chose the District for the location near my work, the quality and floor plan of the apartment itself, and the positive reviews I read about the property. The last point was actually a change from many other properties I considered. It seems to me that a constant in apartment reviews is that reviewers frequently have some enormous complaint on a specific issue. The District actually had more positive reviews then most, which I considered a big plus.
As for my experience, so far so good on all counts. The build quality of the apartment is good, interior noise from other apartments is minimal; the exterior noise is reasonable and what I would expect for the location of my unit. The quality of cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, flooring, etc. is excellent. The apartment was in superior condition when I moved in; carpets clean, fresh paint, bathrooms pristine. They have a large number of floor plans available and mine is perfect for my needs. I have really large furniture from the house I lived in, and my unit has the largest living room I ever seen in an apartment to accommodate it. The living room is 18′ feet wide, which is perfect for viewing a large screen television. I also love the indoor parking garage. I purposely chose a unit in the building with the garage. I never have to go outside and I’m in my apartment in less that a minute after parking my car. It’s literally like I have an attached garage. I love that.
The location is unbelievable; walking distance of a few minutes to a grocery store, movie theater, dry cleaners, light rail station and many, many restaurants. When I say a few minutes, I mean single digit minutes to all those things. It’s a ridiculously convenient location.
The property management staff has been really great to work with so far. They are very friendly, responsive and professional. I’ve only had a couple of minor maintenance requests, but they were completed immediately. And I mean immediately. They even insisted on replacing my light bulbs. Good grief, who does that? They told me «welcome to apartment living».
No cons to report, I mean the place is not inexpensive, but the Denver rental market is crazy right now and The District is competitively priced with similar properties of the same quality. I was only able to get a 10 month lease for the best price and I’m sure I will be looking at an increase in rent when I renew, but I’m not seeing a surplus of better deals out there. It’s a get what you pay for world. I’ve seen several negative reviews regarding move out charges, I obviously don’t have any experience with that yet. So as I said, so far so good.

I have lived here since 2012, and this place is awesome. It’s got an amazing location, a great management team, and the staff is very nice and helpful. Maintenance problems are fixed almost immediately. It’s clean, has a parking garage, and a pool and hot tub, among many other things. I would absolutely recommend living here.

Loved living here. Its just a hop skip away from every commute I needed to make and perfectly placed next to the interstate which was my access to work. Occasionally I would take the light rail, a two to three minute walk if I wanted to go downtown for a night out with the girls.
If staying in I could order takeout from one of the many venues below, noodles & co, wahoos, jimmy johns, Omaha steaks… Or walk to King Soopers right across the street. Even better, take a quick little drive to whole foods literally three minutes away.
Great gym with a lookout toward the city and open all night. The staff is very friendly although constantly changing while I lived there and maintenance was prompt fixing any issues which were rare.
Love the gated indoor garage so I didn’t have to walk outside in the freezing winter and the fact that I couldn’t hear above or below me. However, I could hear beside and outside in the courtyard very clearly. Triple paned windows only came with units faced toward the interstate apparently.
Great place to live for young professionals in Denver I would definitely suggest this complex for the location and the many many amenities.

Never had a problems living there. nice apts rented for 18 months. Cleaned the whole apt when I left except stove and fridge which I knew I’d be charged for. Get bill after ive moved out and they’re trying to charge me 500 dollars for a vague «dirty apartment» even after I had a walk through with maintenance. Staff are nice but this ridiculous.

Horrible! Never rent here!!! They will find every charge to get you after you move out! It’s been a nightmare! Please save yourself the hassle!

After living there for 5 years I was so sad to move. I loved the location, the management was friendly and helpful, and maintenance was always there right away to fix any issues.
Living above a courtyard there were some sound issues from other residents, but management and security were always right on top of things. Unfortunately, they couldn’t control the echo in the courtyard, but the neighbors’ noise wasn’t their fault and they took care of all late night or extraordinary issues.
Every apartment has it’s ‘glitches’ but they did a stellar job of making sure I was always comfortable and happy. The building was highly secure, as was the parking. They did a great job taking cars of snow, ice, etc.
Overall, if I hadn’t been looking for a bigger place, I would have stayed.
If you’re looking for a hong quality community in a convenient location, this is it :)

These guys are wonderful!!! We stayed there about 2.5 yrs total and had to move to be closer to a hospital and so my husband is closer to his work. There was also more and more shady people moving in. Otherwise, we would of stayed there!
First off, ALL the ladies in the office are AMAZING!!! Very sweet, caring, and professional! Erin was always my favorite! I felt I could talk to her about anything! Becky is the manager there and she was always keeping up with maintenance and any other issues at hand! They throw parties and events for the residents too which was always nice! The maintenance guys (Mark & Tyler) were always very knowledgeable about the equipment in the apartments and genuinely cared a great deal about their residents.
We did not want to move, but because of gas prices increasing and so much time wasted in traffic, we had to. I have a lot of physical health problems and am always seeing a DR, so I needed to be right next to a hospital (and now I am). My husband’s work was almost an hr away, and thats if there is no traffic on the roads. As time went by, we would see cops there more and that made us feel uncomfortable. Some people would vandalize things in the halls/​elevator, would break open doors, leave them propped open so anyone could gain access inside, etc. Wasn’t a good feeling BUT I know the District staff truly tried and tried to fix these issues. The noise from screaming kids, or drunks from outside were a regular thing which also was another reason we made the hard decision to move. I have severe asthma and people would smoke in the halls, near the front entrance, the pool/​hot tub area, etc all the time. I had to have the ambulance called several times as my inhaler failed to open my airways. I was passed out one of the times by the time the ambulance arrived. But I do understand that the District staff can only do so much and they sincerely care about everyone, but I know they really can’t control what everyone else does. So it puts them in a hard spot at times.
They have a nice pool there they keep open during the warm seasons, and a huge hot tub thats open year round. The 24 hr fitness gym was always nice to have and was kept clean. The business center was always kept clean as well, but you’d have your loud inconsiderate folks come in and out of there. Kings Soopers is within walking distance and the RTD train is also within walking distance. There are several dine in places nearby and lots to do in the area.
Would I recommend it? YES. They are wonderful caring people!!! They really are!
My advice when moving there? Always — and I mean ALWAYS report anything suspicious and let the District staff know of any issues right away. If another resident gives you grief or does something they’re not suppose to, confront them, and inform the District staff — Trust me. Be courteous to others and don’t throw parties at 3 in the morning. Follow their guidelines/​rules and be respectful. They are a wonderful staff to have, please be good to them! :)

This has been a really great place to live. The apartments are upgraded, new and clean. The lay-​outs that I’ve seen are very roomy and comfortable.
There’s a 24-​hour gym and a nice outdoor pool and hot tub. There are tons of restaurants around including Noodles, Jimmy John’s, Cold Stone and Smashburger. A Panera is opening up across the street in a few months, and there’s now a mexican restaurant and a mediterranean restaurant across the street, too.
King Soopers is about half a block away, so you’ll never have to drive to the grocery store if you live here. There’s a gated parking garage for residents, and plenty of garage parking for visitors. Also walking distance to the Southmoor light rail stop.
The only downfall is the price. It’s not a cheap place to live, but it’s definitely worth it.

This place is amazing. It’s clean and friendly and super safe. It’s near tons of places to eat and the inside of the apartments are just lovely. Easily the nicest place I’ve ever lived.

Now that I don’t live here anymore, you know that I can be totally honest with you about the whole experience. I had to to rent an apartment for a time. The location here is great. Easy access to I-​25 and to the light rail. The necessary shopping accommodations all within a short distance. They have a great pool and hot tub. The apartment was ready on time and was very clean upon move-​in. They have ample parking in a secure garage, though occasionally the garage doors are stuck open. There are a number of gas grills for your use. They have a nice 24 hour gym. For the most part, the neighbors are all quiet and respectful. Upon moving out, I received my deposit back within three weeks. What more could you want? I have nothing to complain about.

Don’t be fooled by its proximity to the light rail or the casual dining options built into the property, The District is an overpriced apartment complex with terrible management.
The building targets young professionals and models itself after some of the upscale apartment living found in Cherry Creek or Lower Downtown. However, unlike the communities found in these other locations, the District is socially dysfunctional. More than half of the units are built around a parking garage (which in itself is a head on collision waiting to happen), resulting in unit access directly from the garage. This is nice if you have a handful of groceries, but not condusive to ever meeting any of your neighbors. Aside from an upscale wine bar that doesn’t draw in any of the District’s residents, there is nothing close to a nearby establishment that allows you to «grab a beer» and be around people your age.
The biggest red flag is the property company that manages the building. Through their mega-​leases, they will nickel and dime you any chance they can get. Their initial deposits are non refundable and they will rake you over the coals with all types of «maintenance» charges on the back end.
For the money they’ll ask you to spend, I promise you can do better.
