Peak 1535 on South 8th Street Apartments

Do not rent here. First off, the place is not 750 sq feet, that is a lie. Also, do not expect them to resolve any issues. The roof has been leaking for over 3 months with no fix and making the hallway carpet moldy, but management will gaslight you and say they are working on the issue. Management also lied about fixing the mailbox, and is trying to play the blame game on the post office. The management company refuses to be accountable about anything. Do not rent here, I regret it.

At peak 1535, we have homeless people sleeping in the stairwells because mgmt can’t be bothered to fix the external doors, don’t have a snowplow service in the winter and sometimes literally cannot get out of the lot, don’t have consistent working internet or any plan in place to fix it even though we know the issue is ancient wiring in the building, a bunch of the mailboxes are unusable because they were broken into and never fixed and the roof leaks because the building is in disrepair and no... one really cares. All of these issues have been going on for years and this “management” company (more accurately called slum lords) shows zero initiative and/or competence to fix any of these things regardless of how much you may complain. Good luck if you choose to move there - I promise you’ll regret it. There’s much better options around. Read More

A few things to be aware of for those considering renting here:

1. The 1 bedroom apartments are actually about 500sqft, not the 750 they advertise them as. Took me about 5 minutes to do a LxW measurement of the unit - not sure how they overestimated this so much.
2. You may or may not be able to get internet. The management company has been aware of this issue for months, but says they don’t have the budget to rewire the building which is the root cause of the problem.
3. The parking lot... doesn’t get plowed here. In Colorado. In the winter.

The people you will deal with directly in the lease office are nice enough, but don’t have the authority to effect any change or fix these issues. It’s on the property management company and they seem to not have the competence, budget, and/or willingness to address or fix these issues. Residents pay their rent here, but the owners of the building are negligent and don’t do basic upkeep in return. This building could be a nice place to live, but I wouldn’t recommend renting here unless it changes owners or the current company gets their act together - which they’ve demonstrated their inability to do so time and time again.

The landlord here( Sarah) is very rude and two faced. She can be sweet in person, but will talk and gossip about you behind your back as soon as you leave her office. On top of that she will gossip about other tenants literally every time you enter her office. Maintenance here is very poor. If you want anything done/fixed you will literally (no joke) have to wait 1 yrs for a simple 5 min fix. On several occasions I was walked to the maintenance room, given the tools/supplies and told to do the... job myself, for free, without any deduction or compensation. Meanwhile they'll spend thousands of dollars renovating empty apartments so that they can up the rent by hundreds of dollars for the soon to be new tenants. My brother lived here, I've lived here, even my co-worker has lived here. We all have had a very poor experience and outright ridiculous treatment while living at the Solar Vista Apartments.

P.S. I would recommend paying a bit more and living in some of the other local apartments, it's worth the extra cost. Read More
