It's loud, smelly, gross, constantly destroyed exit signs, vandalism in elevators, vomit in elevators, piss in elevators, fire alarms that last forever. They make at least 3200 per 4 bedroom apartment and STILL charge $200 PER MONTH FOR PARKING. I truly don't know how management here can live with themselves just extorting low income individuals and students. They also employ Wyatts Towing, probably the most corrupt and predatory business in all of Denver, so even if you pay for a spot Wyatts Towing will tow your car if they feel like it. They take forever to fix things. The valet trash service is the laziest nonsense ever, they leave trash in the hallways if you don't prepare your trash bag just how they want it, walk right past trash in the hallways, just ridiculous. Quarterly inspections where they just barge into your apartment and rooms and just completely invade your privacy. They tell you a bunch of nonsense that's completely BS, my father is a safety engineer, pretty much everything they said during the inspection was just straight up lies. This place is a disaster and they overcharge, extort, and take advantage of their own residents. ...

You will be charged for damage regardless of who caused it. If you don't pay, it goes to collections. Just a really poorly run complex with zero accountability and response from principals. My son, a full-time student and full-time employed worker, lived there from 2019 to 2021 while finishing school. His roommates were unknown to him on move-in and assigned by COLAB. Two of his roommates who were not students and unemployed decided to get a puppy shortly after they moved in. They didn't notify my son they were getting a dog. The dog wrecked some furniture and the two dog owners and dog soon left the apartment never to return. My son notified COLAB management of the issue of damaged furniture and the vacated roommates and dog. Management advised that they couldn't replace any furniture until move out date, but to "rest assured that the owners of the dog would be charged for any damage". This is all documented in emails with management. My son graduates and moves out in August of 2021. Shortly after move out, he gets a bill for damaged furniture! Yep, can't make this up. Even after presenting past emails with management concerning this issue and their assurance that only the owners of the animal would face charges. My son, rightly so disputes the charges and then COLAB being COLAB ignores all inquires and sends it to collections. Be prepared to swim upstream with an incompetent group of facility management and tone deaf collections company if you have any disputes. You are taking your chances here and I don't recommend COLAB apartments. IF you do, document everything with photos, email etc. and be prepared to be ignored. Update 4/22/2022.... Look at the COLAB management response. This is typical generic COLAB BS response that basically says "hey, you got screwed, thanks for letting us know, have a nice day". No one at COLAB or their ---- collections agency Genesis responds to any specifics provided in emails including pictures, email exchanges between COLAB management detailing specific damage and timelines of notification and testimony. One of the worst run complexes I've ever seen. Don't rent from here, you will regret it. ...

The rooms were awesome and the amenities are everything a student would want. The pool was great to have during the warm months and the fire pit was really nice in the winter. It was really close to multiple campuses and was within walking distance of multiple rtd stations. ...
