Environs

It’s a shithole. I stayed here briefly. The house had central air-​conditioning which was ineffective to be honest. The Gibson units had exhaust fans make a lot of noise, it’s like living next to a really noisy transformer. All the equipment in the gym is really old, maybe 15 – 20 years old. It’s not cleaned or maintained. The pool is dirty etc.

This will updated throughout 2015 – 2016 since i will be signing a lease in August. The company has already failed at their jobs, and sadly theyre receiving a 1 star rating that i doubt will improve over the next year. We were supposed to sign a lease and move in august 10. So, we do the smart thing and prepare early. Ive changed my address, setup services, and even have mail thats to be delivered. I also have a dog. I find out today 7/​28, almost a month after paying a deposit and signing paperwork stating we will move in ⁸⁄₁₀ that they will not have our apartment ready until ⁸⁄₁₅. This doesnt seem like a big deal, but when i wont be there for a package delivered on ⁸⁄₁₁ its an inconvenience. I also have to now find lodging for my dog for the additional days at a cost of $ 45 daily to me. This is a huge inconvenience, and is unacceptable. I work for one of the largest property management companies in the State, and we would FIRE the person responsible for this, whether that be the make ready crew, or the asset manager. If this is a sign of how Environs does thing I doubt their ratings will ever get better. Im not looking forward to 13 months of renting from them if this is how they do things.

Lived here for a year in a two bedroom, two bath townhome. What a joke, the appliances are out of date, the kitchen and bathrooms are not updated. The going rent is around 1500, granted you get a garage, but we had mice in the garage. Maintenence did a horrible job of fixing things, they would have to be called multiple times to get things fixed and then getting one that spoke english never happened. Half the time the hot tub wasn’t working. The weight room was dirty and parts were missing from the weight machines. Snow and leaf removal was horrible, had to do it ourselves. List goes on and when you move out they get you for everything so forget ever seeing your deposit, they only want your money! Don’t live there!!!

Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else for a place to live. I could literally copy and paste everyone else’s reviews on here as I learned the hard way that they are all true. The parking situation is ridiculous. Absolutely nowhere to park after 8pm. Also, they let a tow company patrol their lots and yank cars out at the tow company’s discretion without warning, all the way to Aurora and charge several hundred to get your car back! The staff is completely unsympathetic and play dumb. Peoples balcony’s are rotting and falling down. Our carpet had stains on it when we moved in. Counter tops had knife cuts on them. Walls are super thin with no insulation and you can hear everything your neighbors do. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING, use your imagination. Refrigerator is not full size which we weren’t told about before hand. The floors outside in the entryways are exactly how the pictures someone posted look in all the buildings. Poorly painted wood that is warped and really loud when people are walking outside. This place is severely over priced and raise rent continuously. Cheaper and way better apartments can be found in this exact area. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Good riddance.

This is not a place you want to live. this will never feel like home. There parking is horrendous. You’ll be parking closer to wishbone then your apartment every night after 8pm. They even towed my car 20 miles away and 300 dollars later because I parked in half of the fire line. I went to the office to complain and they said I was the 4^th person in there this morning for the exact reasons. There completely unsympathetic. There is absolutely no lighting in the parking lot or street. Pitch black! I was actually followed one time to my car. I called the police and told the office and they didn’t give a shit. «be aware of your surroundings» like it was my fault. go fuck yourself. I even asked about the lighting they agreed it was dark and couldn’t do anything about it. IThey are in your apartment often. they are always wanting to fix something in the parking lot which makes everyone have to move their cars. The pool gets shut down a lot due to vandalism and chemical imbalances. The walls are incredibly thin to point you can hear your neighbors conversations. Takes a long time to heat up your place in the winter. The energy bill are always super high even when your trying to conserve. The decks are all falling apart as well as the wooden stairs you have to walk up. Chipped paint everywhere. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It is not worth what you pay to live here. Or to feel unsafe. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste anytime on this shitty ass apartment complex with people who tow your vehicle, take even more money from you without a care for their so called «residents «this is the worst place I have ever lived.

The service men at the property were great for fixing minor things. However our back deck was rotting out form the time we moved in the office kept telling us they were going to fix the decks but after 2 years we quite asking. We also asked for one step so we didn’t have to jump off our deck but they told us we could put one if we liked but they were not going to. We also had some issues with neighborhood dogs one even came into our home. We called and told the office and they said there was nothing they could do A lady named Patty that worked in the office even told us we would have to follow them to their house and say something ourself. Numerous occasions there were large amounts of dog poop in the common area and when we approached the office they said there was nothing they could do even though it was in the lease agreement that people had to clean up after their pets or be fined. We even had pictures of the dogs doing their business and still nothing. Each year they also raised our rent around $ 100 that is one of the reasons that we had to leave the price was not worth what the property had to offer.
There are some of the office personal that are very helpful, however it is a crap shoot as to what you get when you go in to ask question. One person will be super helpful and the next person acts like you are bothering them.
In my opinion this property is not ran very well. They have some real negative people working for them that made me feel like they didn’t care about their tenants.
I would only look at this place as a last resort

DO NOT LIVE HERE! The management office is useless and are never helpful.
They are tow happy! There is never good parking, if I have a visitor they have to park all the way down by the apartments in an over flow lot.
My car got stuck in the snow, high centered at 10:00 at night when I got help and went to get my car out it was already towed…$ 240 for my car being stuck because I was in a fire lane… the red marking on the sidewalk were covered by snow so I wasn’t even aware I was in a fire line because the sign was up the street.
My car was also broken into… and my car was in my garage with the garage door shut. Someone broke into my side door and broke into my car in the middle of the night. I had a 2 year old in the house sleeping… that made me feel safe!
Stay away!

Do NOT live here. Anywhere else but here is better! 3 Managers since moving in. they change the rules as they go. Absolutely refuse to repair broken, run down units. 6 months for a clogged toilet! Six months! I unfortunately do live here but at end of lease I am running as far and as fast as I can. Several friends who have moved from here and not one has had their deposit returned. this is why they refuse to fix anything, so you have to pay for it. Worst of the worst. and sadly, they do not care.

STAY AWAY!!! Linda in the office in confrontational and the management does nothing to correct the situation. My boyfriend and I went and looked at an apartment here and not only did she never get back to us until we finally changed our minds, but when we asked for the deposit back that we were told we would have to put down immediately or we would lose this apartment she said no. We had to fight and go around her to get our money back. Then they «lost our check in the mail». That is crap. The manager probabaly never mailed it back to begin with. There is no accountability at all.
SO, if the customer service wasn’t enough to keep you away, let me tell you about the apartment. Horrible. The «spacious» downstairs smelled like dog/​pee and had a narrow spiral staircase that would have been more than difficult to set up furniture down there. Also, the new clean carpets were crunchy. Everything was old, and there were major dents in the refrigerator and the front door… who knows what happened there. When we did the tour she showed us the back and the screen door fell off. The stackable laundry units were tiny and she bragged she could fit 3 towels in there. WOW, 3 towels? Tell me more!
Trust me, this is not a place you want to live. You can find nicer places for less. Keep looking elsewhere!

If I could give 0 stars I would. They couldn’t pass city inspection, the decks were rotten the entire year we leased there and were only fixed the last week we were in the unit and in the process of moving out. The city inspectors had actually ordered them to fix them. The garage door wouldn’t lock the entire time we lived in the apartment, and they never fixed that either. Loud screaming kids every day we lived there running all over the complex. There is no insulation in the walls, our heat was set on 65 all winter and our bills ranged from $ 200-​$ 400 a month in gas and electric during one of the mildest winters on record in Colorado. They tried to keep our deposit stating charges such as dishwasher cleaning fees, a refrigerator controller fee because the refrigerator light that they installed before we moved in was a greater wattage than was called for and caused some sort of damage? There was no damage and we didn’t install the light to begin with. Then right after saying they had to replace the entire refrigerator they charged us for a $ 50 refrigerator cleaning fee. If you ever go to the office to request anything, they snap at you and treat you like you shouldn’t be bothering them. Beware this place, you will not be leave this place wishing you had never heard of them.

I don’t live here. But know people who do. However, before I knew people who lived there, I had my own experiences.
I had a friend moving from the West Coast here and asked me to look at a unit since they couldn’t. Sure thing. I get there around 5:15 and its getting dark… because its winter and COLD, and it gets dark early. They tell me I can’t see the apartment because there is no electricity, they won’t put them on until it is rented. What??? How do you prevent freeze damages if you aren’t maintaining any utilities… weird. Also, how do you have leasing hours where you can’t show units unless its bright enough out? Another weird,.
My friend saw someone get their window smashed in, in the parking lot. And there were lots of issue when the lease was up. I have allowed my friend to move in with me until he finds a nicer place to live.
Addtionally, the prices are way to high for the quality of what you get. It just doesn’t seem like there is community pride as you drive thru.

Okay this is a rating on what I saw of the place since we have been looking at apartments and I haven’t actually lived there.
1. Units themselves: We looked at a 2 bed townhouse and 2 two bedroom houses here. The townhouse was okay considering the age of this community. But it was dingy and for the money there are better places. What killed it for us was seeing the houses, they need upgrading in a huge way. New windows, trim, carpet, cabinets, etc. They seriously need to be gutted. One we went in the carpets had been cleaned and they crunched. YUCK!!!
2. Amenities: The pools may be nice, I don’t know really though since they were closed for the winter. The clubhouse/​management building had some perfume candle thing going that totally gagged me it was so strong. The gym is in a racquetball court and didn’t smell like sweat of anything but the equipment was pretty ancient. The business center had a couple Dell’s in it but I didn’t step into the room.
Overall, well we decided that for what it is, it’s to expensive. I’ve seen nicer places for the same or less money.
