Lions Gate Apartments

We have been living in Lions Gate for almost a month. The apartment is beautiful and very spacious. When we moved in everything was in really good condition and all of our fixtures were working. Because of the space, we rarely hear our neighbors which is a huge plus. We were a little wary of living right in front of the trax station because of our last apartment experience, but the girl who helped us make our decision, Jade, assured us that we wouldn’t hear anything. She was right, the train barely makes any noise at all and it is very fast. Overall the management is prompt in handling any of our issues, and everyone has been really friendly. This has been a great experience so far!

Through my 4 years of apartment living, Lions Gate has got to be one of the best thus far. The layouts of the apartments couldn’t be more perfect; there are spacious closets, (brand new) washers and dryers in every apartment and most of the utilities are included in monthly rent. The utilities that are not included are super cheap for me every month (I’d imagine it’s because the complex is almost brand new and is pretty energy efficient). My only gripe is parking, but if you’re an avid Trax user it doesn’t seem as bad because the station is literally about a 3 – 5 minute walk from your door. If you’re looking for an awesome deal with central location, then Lions Gate is for you.

TLDR: Bad parking situation, do not recommend if your household owns multiple cars or hopes to regularly host visitors that drive cars.
Note that there are an eye-​popping 25 filtered negative reviews to this complex. Almost every one of them complains about parking, which is a perpetual issue here. The place was built with too little parking on the goofy belief Utah households would ditch their third, second, and even first car because they lived right on Trax. Silly builders! This is Utah, after all.
Bottom line is that public parking is always full, with people double parked in fringes labelled «no parking.» Your visitors have to do that if they don’t walk from blocks away. Whatever they do, don’t let them park in a lot. Unlike virtually every apartment complex known to man, uncovered spots are by permit only. Your car can and will be towed within minutes. One thing that management and residents are nutty about is maintaining their permit spaces. So: park in the fire zones instead. You never get towed there. Just stay outta the lots!
Management typically lies about these problems to prospective tenants. Don’t believe them.
As for resident parking, it is also sometimes tough to find an unreserved space, and you will find yourself walking from the Trax parking lot or even farther from time to time.
That’s the cost of living in a new but rapidly decaying complex, where cops sometimes drop flashbang grenades while raiding drug dealers (and where management refuses to fix windows shattered by said cops for months into winter).

Not sure where to begin. To keep it simple they will try to get away with all they can before getting caught. The management is comfortable lying, they are unprofessional, sleazy and offer the worst service I’ve experienced by far. Don’t be disillusioned by the how it looks on the outside. They’ll lie to get you in.

Very clean, great employees. Parking kinda sucks still, but I am happy here.
