Gables Vista Apartamentos

Want bullet holes in your lobby doors for 3 months? Broken elevators and hot tubs that take 1-2 months to fix? Broken fridge takes 2.5 months to fix? This was all in the last 6 months - been here 3+ years and Gables Vista has become unlivable. Don’t recommend to anyone and will be leaving as soon as we can.

Edit: Ah - I forgot the water leak that we couldn’t live here for 2 weeks and needed to move into hotels. Gas leaks that almost blew the building up. And the multiple cars stolen from our... private garage. Security is terrible here (also all in the last 6 months) Lee mas

I’ve been a resident at Gables Vista in Cherry Creek since April 2024 and it’s been issue after issue. It's disheartening to write this review because I was so excited to live in this building and completed (what I thought was) a lot of research prior to signing a lease. I hadn't anticipated leaving a 1 star review so early into my lease, but I hope doing so saves prospective tenants future heartache. Do not move here.

TLDR:
- June 2024: a shooting into the lobby
- July 2024: a gas outage that... left residents without hot water and utilities with no concessions for food costs - third party shower options were offered on the 3rd day without hot water
- September 2024: water outage for 6 days
- amenity issues
- soiled carpets in the resident hallways

The response from property management is defensive and lacking empathy. Example: when requests were made to have biweekly email updates on the lobby shooting from June, it was too burdensome for them to commit to (last update was provided on August 7th).

The 80+ page lease locks you into an impossible situation. Save yourself the time, MONEY, stress and hassle and choose elsewhere. They charge way too much for these issues to be "the rule" and not "the exception".

At this point it’s not “if” another maintenance or safety issue will occur, but “when”. Lee mas

Over a month to get anything fixed. No hot water for days, no water for a day, broken hot tub. The list goes on. Drive by shootings. Moving out as soon as my lease is up.

A mix bag experience.

Pros:
Love the area. Friendly staff. Nice lay outs. Common areas always seem well maintained.

Cons:
The 3rd floor parking garage constantly smells of dog urine.
Maintenance is lacking. When I moved into the apt a toilet was broken and the ac broken. The ac unit didn’t have a filter for the past 5 years, so it clogged. Due to years of drainage back up we still smell sewage from time to time around the ac. The fridge is missing a filter, and has had a smell since move in.... Faucet with rust and mold still awaiting repair. Dakota avenue side, be warned the building next door has a near constant loud generator sound that you will hear all day. The apartment building across has been doing months long renovations and appears no where near finishing as of 10/23. Entering and exiting the complex strained due to cars parked in street and construction crane. dirty carpets from dog owners leaving dog poop and from trash stains. Revolving staff.

Have had better. Lee mas

Like living at Gables very much. Wish they would fix the ice machine and add a game table somewhere. Workout facilities are nice. Public areas are clean.
