Wellshire Apartments

I've been trying to build mine back up from mistakes I made in my early 20's, this is highly inconvenient, and frankly mildly infuriating. If you're highly financially secure, the apartments are beautiful and spacious. Though from my experience there are likely a lot of hidden fees and caveats to watch out for.

"renovations" that are (not) currently taking place. There is very limited guest parking, and the rent does not include a parking spot for residents (crazy at this price). Maintenance and management have no eye for detail, and requests need to be spelled out in the most specific manner in order to finish basic maintenance (somebody else's dog fur in the carpet when you move in, anyone?). The building is old and the sliding doors are sticky and hard to move due to the settling. The lighting in the hallways is dark and flickers, really ugly. Utilities are nuts expensive every month. You can hear everything your neighbors are saying if you are in the hallway (but at least you can't hear your neighbors through the walls--just your front door). On the pro side, the natural lighting is amazing and the view is excellent. Most of your neighbors are nice and it is generally a very dog-people oriented community. Not many kids, so it's pretty quiet. Good location with easy access to 25. Grocery stores nearby. Free, covered bicycle parking downstairs. You can walk to Subway, if you're into that. Overpriced for what you get, but with the housing market what it is in Denver these days, I guess residents (beggars) can't be too choosey. I hope that as the building owners and management stop handling so many changes and transitions that the focus goes back to the resident experience instead of putting out fires all the time. I'm sure management is doing their best, but they must be exhausted by having to play catch up constantly. Happy to update this review if I see good changes.
