University Lofts

I've lived here the last 3 years. When Pete and Wade were here, I'd easily rate it 5 stars--they truly cared about their residents and the building was maintained extremely well. Ever since new management took over, the experience quickly changed. When dealing with issues, instead of trying to work with us (parents included) situations were handled by property management by childishly hanging up the phone on multiple occasions. These issues often consisted of their own mistakes (randomly giving up my reserved parking spot, charging us the wrong rent price, etc) When the garage door broke, they posted multiple times it would be fixed in the next few weeks; however, it took 2 months to get this fixed. During that time, my brothers car was broken into and nothing was done to resolve it. Also, chemicals were leaking onto his car, which ruined the paint for months and nothing was fixed. They simply do not care about you and will try nickel and dime you any chance they get. It is astonishing how someone this ignorant, incompetent, and rude came into management after Pete left. She just wants to argue with you instead of trying to solve the problem. Stay away at all costs and save yourself some money and sanity.

I have lived in ULofts for four years in one of the gorgeous corner units that overlooks University and Evans. To say that ULofts was perfect would be an understatement. While attending the University of Denver and shortly after as I begun my career I was able to truly make that place more than just an apartment building, I made it my home. Countless memories and relationships were created that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. The units themselves are gorgeous, especially if you keep them clean. One of ULofts strongest aspects is its concrete structure which prevents noise from traveling. Not once did I ever hear my neighbors above, below, or to the side of me or vise versa. Fantastic for a college campus as we often threw parties back in the day and they didn't disturb other residents. Rooms are decently sized as are bathrooms and kitchens. The AC is quite loud, which is a complaint for most, but I actually loved it as it would put me right to sleep at night. Parking garage is spacious and rarely has issues. But the shining jewel of ULofts isnt the location, or the rooms, or the all inclusive utilities. It's the management. Although Wade, the maintenance manager, is leaving soon, he was what kept that place together. He was always on call, knew the ins and outs of the building, and was timely with fixing any issues we ran across, which were few. Peter, the property manager, was a fantastic landlord and not only one that you could trust, but one that you enjoyed going out of your way to see. I befriended both of them early on and we remain good friends even after I have moved. I'm sure I will never find another landlord and maintenance manager as good at their jobs and just downright enjoyable as these two. Truly, it breaks my heart to have to move out, but it's time for me to start a new chapter in my life. That being said, if you are a DU student looking for a place to live or a parent searching for a place for your child, look no further than University Lofts. It's a place where you don't have an apartment, you have a home.
