Hillmeade Apartment Homes

Disregard some of the 5-star reviews. They offer sweepstakes for gift cards to review the community, and people believe their chances of winning are greater if they post positive reviews.

I've lived here for almost 4 years, but I'm being priced out with a $300/mo rent increase, higher than market rate increase for the area.

The biggest problem with this community is its owner - Aimco, which was purchased by AIR. They have been the definition of a greedy landlord. Rather than fixing parking by... moving to a first-come-first-serve, they've decided to kick residents out of their garages and tow anyone who can't park (which is common) even though there are spaces open.

They spent money to expand and redo the leasing office patio, but have done nothing to address rusty hand rails and crumbling walks and stairs throughout the complex.

Don't attempt to contact the leasing office - they won't pick up. The only way to get their attention is to call the property manager directly, or to go to the office (which may be impossible if you work 8-5 and have a commute longer than 30 minutes like I do).

The maintenance team is great, but too small to handle the number of requests from a literally crumbling complex (cracked/broken concrete stairs, walkways are crumbling).

The community/neighborhood is fine as far as people go - people are nice and respectful for the most part. It's definitely a feeling of "we're all in this bad situation together". We haven't had any pest issues thankfully, but your mileage may vary. Lee mas

Don’t pay attention to the positive reviews. Hillmeade has drawings for residents who place positive reviews to win money.

We’ve been here a few years and the property has gone downhill completely.Our current property management and maintenance team are nice but Aimco, the company that owns the property is as cheap and greedy as it gets. All the neighbors I know feel the same way. There’s dog crap all over the place. People keep large dogs off leash despite the policy that all dogs must be on... leash. Walkways are crumbling, stairways into buildings are suspect and Management is unable to do anything about it. One neighbor I know moved out because our floor collapsed and the inspector told her it was an accident waiting to happen. Fees for pets, parking and garbage are ridiculous, the front gates rarely work, and trash pick up is spotty. Also, the appliances in the apartments and homes are as cheap as it gets – it’s ridiculous that our dryer despite repeated complaints takes a full day to dry even an average size load. We are incredibly disappointing was with what Hillmeade has become and look forward to moving when our lease expires. Lee mas

Dirty, maintenance nightmare, people get their cars towed regularly, not trespassers, but the residents and their guests. They even towed people on Christmas once when everyone had family and friends over. The office people cannot be trusted and talk to residents like they are their employees, unless that is if you are wanting a tour of the apartments and then they will be nice. These apartments remind me of the movie, "The Money Pit," where at first things look nice and friendly, but are... actually the opposite. Oh the outside of the apartments and area look nice. The truth is you will face a lot of problems and the office people will be near impossible to get ahold of to solve them and then act like it is your fault somehow when finally you do. More than ten residents I have met in apartments and neighbors have complained they have had their cars towed with no warning phone call. This is not how a business should be run. Water leaks from multiple sources were reoccurring and damaging issue. I must have had my water turned off about 30 times in one year from one problem or another. Look at all the bad reviews and believe them. Ignore the paid "good" reviews by their advertising staff. Lee mas

Hillmeade apartments has been a wonderful experience, with accommodating features, luxurious space, great amenities, and truly we could not have asked for a better apartment! Service staff is wonderful and front office is so helpful. Property is also beautiful!

We moved in almost a month ago and we are obsessed with our apartment, we almost never want to go out. Had a ton of questions and Ron(property manager) was always quick to answer and incredibly helpful. We have had two problems with our kitchen appliances already and had maintenance out here the very next day to fix it. Great place to live!
