Cambridge Place

Please do not listen to the «glowing» review recently posted. Read every review you can come across on this place. I think you will find most have a horrible experience at Cambridge Place.
I broke my year lease half way through and moved out. Most terrible place I have ever lived!
PLEASE READ THIS WARNING:
There is a huge bed bug problem in all buildings. I can only assume all units infested to some degree. You will have/​get them. See
Do your research on these pests. Notoriously difficult to treat and get rid of. It is not under control. They need to agressively and effectively treat this and they are not. I personally have seen and killed 3 adult bedbugs and have suffered several bites. I lost many personal possessions due to the infestation.
here are MULTIPLE PEST issues — mice, roaches, bedbugs and god only knows what else. They are not treaing effectively for any of it and the problems will persist until they do.
Staff was super nice at first. Once I moved in, indifferent. They are incompetent at best, fraudulent at worst. They will mess up your rent payment and try to get you for late charges, so keep documentation! Linda is the rudest, most dismissive, disagreeable person I have ever dealt with.
I don’t know how they get by with no/​very little handicap access.
Elevators work mostly but are scary.
They paint in the hallways almost all the time for some reason. Hope you like that smell.
Grounds are a mess. Common areas not properly cleaned or sanitized.
Scary huge dogs owned by some neighbors. Lots of dog barking at all hours. Noise and odor is a problem; paper thin walls.
No bathroom storage (in my unit at least). You would think they could build some cabinets under the vanity and sink.
Don’t feel 1 washer and dryer on each floor is adequate and they are not kept clean.
Horrible water stain above my shower. Scared of mold issues. Took almost a month for maintenance to address it but it started to come back.
Under my kitchen sink, bottom of cabinet totally warped due to water damage.
No safety or security to speak of. Half the time «locked doors» are open/​broken.
Do yourself a favor and pass on this wretched place. I have only been here a short time and wish I had. I took it for the cheap rent price but not worth it.

Since we have moved here we have had ZERO problems. Our apt has a great view of the mountains and downtown and our neighbors on this floor are considerate. We haven’t had any problems with management whenever a repair is required and all of our concerns are answered quickly, honestly and in a professional manner. Linda has been an absolute joy to deal with.
Our apt. is great! Both bedrooms have wall to wall closets, we have a huge walk-​in closet and the entry closet is beyond humongous. The rear hall linen closet is great and perfectly placed. Our balcony is large enough for patio table with 3 chairs — my full sized gas grill with side burner and storage shelf — 2 humans and 2 dogs. The bedrooms are huge… No correction. GI-​NORMOUS for this price point. We pay a tiny bit extra for the very large storage room right outside our door.
The natural stone ledges on all windows add a nice old world touch. We haven’t had any problems with our windows or doors being broken or drafty. Even though the laundry room is directly across from us and we are next to the elevator we are never disturbed by noise… and we are both lite sleepers. All of our appliances work perfectly there is ample heat and the AC works well. Being on the 4^th floor we do keep our double width sliding door open and windows open for cross ventilation in the summer. And the utilities are NOT budget busters. Our average electric bill for this unit is LESS THAN $ 40 per months (and that includes 2 PCs, 3 TVs and a dorm sized fridge!).
If you are looking for a nice area, huge apt., excellent commuter area (major roads within easy reach AND the bus service is phenominally good wit the 46 to Cherry Creek and the Lite Rail — 11 to Center Pointe — 40 etc), shopping to die for (King Soopers, Shop Rite, Best Buy, Whole Foods, Target and lots lots more) the pool, diversity of the neighborhood… This is an excellent place to live!

After dealing with bed bugs for months, being yelled at by maintainence when I wanted them to take care of the mouse problem, and being charged $ 45/​month for gas for a 450 sq. foot studio, I have now been hit with a $ 150 electric bill. Apparently I was supposed to know that I was to pay excel directly without them telling me. I have never received a bill until today… I have been living here since July 2009 and it is now March 2010.
I HIGHLY discourage anyone from living here. Rude employees, hidden costs, and BED BUGS!

My husband and I are glad we escaped these apartments. I was depressed for a little while thinking we couldn’t afford to move, but we got out.
The apartments are pretty big for the price. We had 2 large walk-​inish closets plus full length closets in both bedrooms.
Our windows in our bedrooms were cracked and the screens all had rips. We requested these to be replaced and eventually some of them were.
The kitchen cabinets were sticky like years of oil had been caked on them. The dishwasher smelled like mildew so matter how many times we ran dishwasher cleaner or bleach through it.
The «best» part of the complex is the charm the eclectic neighbors add. Our next door neighbors were cheap swingers with two kids (in a two bedroom apartment). How do I know they are swingers you may ask… lets just say there was an indecent proposal (the type you could easily refuse).
If you are looking for an… interesting place to live this is a safe bet.
