M2 Apartamentos

I have lived here for 2 years and I am actively looking to live elsewhere. New residents below me are blasting music from 5::30 in the morning until nearly midnight to the point where it is shaking my walls and floor. Management will not act and Front Range Patrol has not made an impact. We have had multiple pipes burst in my building and neighboring buildings in the 2 years I've lived here resulting in multiple tenants being forced to move for 6+ months. I pay $250 per month in fees on top of... the shown rent prices. Trash collection is inconsistent, management does not answer the phones or listen to messages left for the office, trash accumulates around the complex. It is fine, but I would not recommend this apartment complex in it's current state. Lee mas

They will take your deposit and send you an outrageous bill after you move out regardless how clean the apartment is, or how long you've lived there, or how good of a tenant you were, or how clean you get the apt, or how much you spend on cleaning supplies, or the hours you spend cleaning, they take your deposit and send you an outrageous bill. It's all about money to them.

I'm just warning you.

The parking is also terrible, and you get to stare at nasty trash everyday when you pull into the... apartment as they are never cleaning up by the trash. Lee mas

Upon moving in:
-The apartment was FILTHY. We had to go out and buy a vaccuum and mop before we could even bring our belongings inside.
-Ice machine in fridge didn’t work
-stove didn’t work
-master bathroom door didn’t close

While we lived there:
-Trash EVERYWHERE. ALL. THE. TIME.
-When you walk to your apartment, you’re walking through mountains of trash bags.
-Seriously, there’s trash everywhere. Even when it’s 90+ degrees outside. So in addition to trash everywhere, there's huge flies and... rancid stink. Management does NOTHING about it (I contacted them more than once in regard to my neighbor leaving bags of trash and bags of dog poop outside of their door and they did nothing.
-You have to pay $30/month for “valet trash removal” and there is no way to opt out.
-There is also a mountain of trash by the dumpsters every weekend.
-Our dishwasher broke and was “fixed”, broke again/was not ever actually fixed and took 3 months for it to be replaced (the woman in the office will tell you “its so hard to get replacements for appliances”. No, that’s not what happened because as soon as I called and made a big fuss, I had a replacement the next day.)
-Our refrigerator broke
- The grounds are pretty gross, there is limited grass and the grass they do have is yellowed with dog pee.
-The office staff doesn’t contact you via phone or email regarding any issues, they will leave a paper notice on your door at the very end of the day so you can’t contact them that day.
-Office staff is very rude, condescending and unhelpful.
-They will nickel and dime you at every possible opportunity. Expect to pay $100-300 more per month than what is quoted on the website
-$30 valet trash removal
-$20 “real estate fee”
-$30-40 CAM (common area maintenance) fee. Not sure how that one can fluctuate, but it does. Not to mention lights in the outside hallways are always out and not replaced
-$8 per month PER CAR for parking
-$6 “Service Fee”
-$2 to pay rent online, which you can’t opt-out of.

-We left the apartment in MUCH better condition than when we moved in, and were still charged $135 cleaning fee in addition to not getting our $250 deposit back. We requested an “in-person” move-out inspection, and the woman in the office was surprised we asked for it, and the “inspection” she did was not the same inspection that I was emailed about, with photos and notes. I would have much preferred to have been present for the inspection that resulted in charges. Lee mas

We really enjoyed living there however when we moved out they billed us over 1K in cleaning fees that included maintenance requests over 12 months (broken blinds, stove pans, and even a pigeon family as pests on the balcony) this however was put on our bill. They never gave us an option for security deposits. The pictures they took were of broken appliances requested for maintenance. Moral of the story is great place to live but when you leave they milk you as much as possible.

I didn't even see the apartments in person before I signed my lease, I trusted the positive comments that people wrote and weighed the negative ones. That being said, I don't regret my decision! I love living here.

I selected an upper priced one bedroom apartment with an attached garage so that I wouldn't have any "parking issues". I paid a little more and complain a whole lot less (funny how that works, right?). I have lived in places that only allow street parking and it sucked! I have lived... places that only let you have two cars on a lease no matter how many people/cars you had, and guess what? It SUCKED. People complained there wasn't enough parking, so M2 enforced two cars per apartment rules and then people complained there weren't enough passes. How can you win with that mentality? (You can't). When I needed an extra place to park, I walked into the office and asked to be put on the carport waiting list. Problem solved. They have garages and car ports for rent and apartments with garages attached. Solve your own problem. Can't afford the extra cost per month? That's coo! We aren't all made of money, but don't complain about it.

The front office staff are wonderful, truly. What people don't understand is they don't own the complex! They can only do so much! Someone puts money down and passes the background check? You're allowed to lease here. They aren't allowed to discriminate. If they pass the necessary steps to live here there is nothing the office can do! The maintenance team is sorely understaffed, which speaks volumes to the amount of stuff one guy can get done in the complex. Bart is wonderful and will take care of anything, you just gotta give him some time!

I love that they provide FREE poop bags for dogs at various spots throughout the community, and I love the bark park. While I wish it were bigger (see, no apartment is perfect!) it is awesome to even have one available in the community. I have never had a problem with the smell in the year that I have been here. Poop, yes. But, again, that's every apartment! Some people just suck!

Yes the walls could be thicker, yes people that don't follow the rules suck. BUT! The finishes are high end for the price point, the storage units are ample and work while, the grounds are wonderfully kept, and the pool is year round.

My only complaint is that they raise the prices for people that renew, but that isn't something the front office can fix. That's something corporate america needs to fix! Lee mas
