Meadow Creek Apartments

Meadow Creek failed to hand over my apartment in satisfactory condition; Meadow Creek violated my privacy by dispatching contractors to my apartment without prior warning; Meadow Creek flagrantly violated the Boulder County mask mandate by dispatching contractors/maintenance workers that refused to wear masks on multiple occasions; Meadow Creek management is unresponsive; Meadow Creek's lease is asymmetrically skewed in the landlord's favor. Bad company, bad values, general disrespect for... tenants. Find someplace else to rent--Boulder has plenty of affordable housing Read More

The landscapers work all day long -- it wasn't a problem until I started working from home.

DO NOT LIVE HERE.

The main problem is that management has been unwilling to help in any way when extenuating circumstances led us to want to vacate the property. My roommate and I were threatened by our other roommate to the point that we didn’t feel safe continuing to live there. What we would not have done even before this point, what I don’t want you to do, and what few of our neighbors that I’ve talked to would ever do, is sign a lease with these people again.

Their manager is so... incompetent that it can’t be accidental. Never returning calls, following up, or doing what he says. We never got our $250 sign up bonus due strictly to his inability and unwillingness to help. I’m still waiting on him to correct rent charges for this month. You can hardly contact him as office hours are reduced and end up changing every couple weeks.

Maintenance is often days later than expected/promised with fixing things. The best thing about the place is the hot tub, and it’s been shut down for maintenance for about a month, maybe 2. I do not, at all, blame this on the maintenance guys. I blame it on a management team fully lacking in compassion that is not interested in building a community or entering into a fair monetary transaction beneficial to both sides. Which is a shame, because any entry level management textbook will show you that you’ll make more money by treating people right.

It is a good price, even with the extra fees that they don’t tell you about ($50 a year for access to a package room because you can’t get packages at your door, then the $50 isn’t for a year from signing up, it’s just until February, and you have to pay another $50 for another year just to get packages for the next 3 months you’ll be there until your lease is up. $6.16 monthly service charge for the courtesy of sending your utility bill to you) and with the ridiculous fees they weasel into their terrible contract ($100 move out fee?, 60 days of notice and 90 days worth of rent payment required to break a lease, worthless but required renter’s insurance). But the price isn’t worth it. I highly recommend paying a little bit more to save yourself the stress and cost of dealing with these people, work with an agency that, if they don’t necessarily care, at least understands that it’s a good business decision to address the complaints of their residents, and to get some walls where you can’t hear your neighbors constantly.

I've been renting for 10 years in multiple cities and this has to be the worst which is really unfortunate considering there's a 300% lease breakage fee. After be woken up for the third night in a row due to a loud neighbor I moved my bed into my living room where I've been sleeping for four months now. Bedroom, living room, office - all occupying one room now. When I asked the neighbor if she could be more respectful considering it was 3am she responded with "I cAn dO whAtever I wAnt in mY... apArtment". So now my entire living space is cramped into one room and between the hours of 11pm and 5am it sounds like Godzilla is learning to rollerblade next door. The walls shake. The floors shake. I've contacted management multiple times and they could not be any less helpful or empathetic.

"Will you break my lease because of the noise" - "We won't do that"
"Will you tell my neighbor to shut up" - "We can't make them"
"Will you let me change apartments" - "We could but we're not going to"

That said, I'm going to ride out my lease here, never recommend it to anybody, and actively tell potential residents to steer clear. I hope this place can't find any tenants and they go bankrupt. Read More

Avoid ground units, especially those next to stairs. If you're moving from out of state I recommend getting a short term lease even if it costs more. You won't want to spend more than a month at this place, especially if you're a working professional. Due to Covid I've been working from home for a while and dogs bark nonstop in other units, walls are paper thin. I was right next to the stairs and people would ride bikes down the stairs making it sound like an earthquake in my unit. Awful! Maybe... other units are better, but being on the ground floor and next to the stairs was unbearable. Read More
