Pinnacle

Generally ok. However, move in was awful and the apartment was not prepared. Generally apartment repairs take along time and require constant pressure on the office (threats to fix and deduct generally get them to act fast). They do have a nice dog park, and depending on what time you leave it can be a 15 minute drive to school.

After living at the Enclave for a few years, I’m happy with it, overall. The management team is great; though; they feel stretched thin lately. The neighborhood has changed some since the light rail arrived, but the convenience cannot be beat.

Such a great spot, close to everything (school, highway, groceries, nature) and spacious community. Highly recommend especially if you have a pet!

Close to Superloop bus stops. Generally quiet. Thin walls and ceilings (can hear neighbors often). Low water pressure. Heat, but no A/C. No insulation for sound or temperature.

The apartment I’m currently living in is located in Mirada at La Jolla Colony, and has overall been a nice place to live. It’s a quiet community with many amenities that allows pets (for a monthly pet fee). There is very easy access to parking with gated drive in doors under the apartments that are great for parking out of the sun. There has been some bike theft, but only in the parking garages, which I believe they are addressing as we speak, making them more secure.

I lived here during the 2021-22 school year and experienced many issues. First, the rent was quite expensive to begin with, but the apartment also charged utilities for the entire building. I had many months where my utility bill was over $400. Security is also poor, as there is no doorman at the front and many of the back exterior doors remain unlocked or propped open. In addition, just about everything in my apartment broke at some point including the dryer (multiple times), the hot water (multiple times), the garbage disposal, and the air conditioner. To top it all off, the AC in the apartment above mine broke and flooded my apartment about a month before my lease was up. I was on vacation at the time and maintenance told they would take care of it immediately. When I returned, no cleanup had been done and some of my furniture was ruined by water damage. The carpet had also molded over and paint chipped off the walls and ceilings. No one from the maintenance team fixed any of the damage before I moved out despite my many emails.

My experience at the Varsity has been pretty good, they have typical issues other apartments (with lots of students) have but with how expensive it is sometimes it is frustrating. There is a gym but it is not great or well maintained. The package room situation is very frustrating because amazon deliveries often end up just placed on the ground near the package system instead of put in lockers like they're supposed to be. The management/maintenance team is fairly small and can be slow to respond to issues (especially via e-mail), they are generally best contacted in person.

Comfortable and safe living close to campus

The units are renovated and there is landscaping, so on the surface everything looks good. However, I'd describe it by saying: they put lipstick on a pig . The floors are uneven. The cupboards have doors but overlap so do not close properly or open all the way. The drawers are all uneven and get stuck. The painters were careless and left drips everywhere. My neighbors thus far have been mostly quiet and I am grateful for that because the walls nor windows would keep the sound out if they were not. The runoff from the A/C drips into the tub. It's been difficult to accept the lack of care for the property after being a homeowner. Also, the staff promised move in concessions that I then had to persistently argue for a month to get them to follow through and reimburse me on. As I said, it's fine, I feel safe but I am less than impressed with the staff and maintenance.

Pros: The apartments are clean (no pests), recently refurbished, and it is close to Ross Hall.

Cons: The building management has some issues and it is a bit overpriced.

The apartment space itself is great. Very large, updated look, and decent pricing compared to comparable properties. However, the managing of the building is horrible. They will never answer calls and take long for emails, package delivery is a mess and it’s difficult to find packages although none stolen, and the elevators keep breaking with only one fixed and the other left broken for weeks. Also the water keeps being shut off for repairs.

I live in one of their renovated apartments (which has a little bit higher rent) but has updated appliances, plank flooring, and a skylight if you live on the second floor. The apartment is spacious and maintenance is very responsive. Definitely in the suburbs but there are a lot of great breweries near by. About 20-25 minutes from Boulder and 20 minutes from Denver.

The apartment is very good, good size and lightening, and from a reasonable walking distance from the main Georgetown Campus. The gym and social room are great to receive friends.
Points of opportunity: maintenance response is quite slow, shut is constantly out of order, neighbors are young and party a lot (noise and weed smell is common).

as someone who has to commute every day, with traffic, I feel like I could be losing more than 5-6 hours a week just in the car. Although sometimes that might be a mindless activity, I would not recommend it.

Being able to walk to school was a priority for me, so living close to campus was a major factor in deciding where to live. I love the layout of my unit and it is a perfect size for me and my cat.

The garbage/recycling system is a trash chute that gets clogged frequently, and residents keep piling their own garbage on top of it. It takes a long time for management to respond to the garbage issue, which causes the hallways to smell like garbage most of the time. The building itself also does not have a pleasant smell.

Another big problem that has been inconvenient for me especially is the in-unit single washer/dryer machine. I can only put in so much laundry and since it is one machine (not a separate washer and dryer), I can only do one load at a time. It takes hours for me to finish my laundry, which is hard when I have classes and other obligations.
