Cedar Run Apartments

Where do I even start. If you see a positive review about this place the staff probably wrote it. Do not live here. At first they’ll show you a pretty nice space given the price. After you sign a lease their nice attitudes are gone. Very Rude and unprofessional. Only been here a few months and I’m dreading having to stay here any longer. Thieves all over the complex. Walking up to your door at night you’ll see shady characters just hanging out all over. So far we’ve had a few floods in our apartment, many things are broken and won’t be fixed. Handymen left a huge hole in my shower for about two weeks and just never came back. The people in the office are the worst most unhelpful people I have ever had the misfortune of coming in contact with. They have even lost checks. All around terrible experience living here. Do not make the same mistake. Do not live in this shit hole.

WARNING DO NOT LIVE IN THIS BUILDING. I wouldn’t even give this apartment complex one star, but for me to comment I was forced to. This is by far the worst apartment building I have ever lived in. The list of issues is always growing and never seems to stop. This complex should be torn down to nothing, due to the decaying nature of the buildings and the greediness of management. Instead of dribbling on about the problems I will write out a list of what I have experienced within the past year (thank god my God my lease is almost up).
1.Cockroach infestation, which they have done nothing about and employee a joke of a company «bug-​a-​boo» that insists its method of applying a 1 inch goo strip near all your sinks will rid the entire complex of its pest issue…
2. Mice, they haven’t even addressed this problem since they’re still failing with the pest above
3. leaking from the ceilings, walls, anywhere and everywhere
4. no heat for over a week (Called several times had to resort to Denver housing inspector)
5. no hot water for over a week
6. garbage everywhere (people don’t care so they throw their garbage anywhere and everywhere.
7. a towing company that inspects each license plate to make sure the tags are current and if not YOU have to pay them a fine, even though they are not employed or affiliated with the state of Colorado or city of Denver. Also if you don’t fix your «problem» within 24 hours they tow your car away
8. the elevator ALWAYS brakes down, it even caught on fire once and several people have gotten trapped within it
9. terrible neighbors that leave their dog shit everywhere, fight, scream, gunshots, pretty much anything you can think of
10. They never salt the sidewalks, so you will fall on your ass during the winter
11. overpriced considering the conditions and overall nonsense you have to put up with
12. unfriendly rude staff, and a drunk negligent manager
13. exposed fiberglass always hanging out of the basement ceilings
14. feral cats EVERYWHERE, and management won’t do anything about it so these creatures live everywhere and freeze to death during the winter
15. Infestation on the grounds of Racoons and skunks, you can often smell the skunks
16. car vandalism, isn’t funny how they can hire people to check your plates and tow your car yet they can offer surveillance for their resident’s cars?
17. Maintenance is the worst, they never actually fix a problem they just rig it so be prepared to have broken appliances
18. An interconnected old heating/​cooling system that takes forever to turn on and off. They usually turn on the heating late into the year and turn on the cooling too slowly. This past summer while they had outside construction working on the outside of the buildings they sealed up all the windows with plastic sheeting. Mind you, it was 90+ degrees outside and I couldn’t even air out my house at night.
19. random construction at early parts of the morning 7am
20. suspicious characters that slither through the gate and from off the streets to loiter and commit crimes at night and during the dave
21. trash divers, so you can’t throw away anything personally without shredding it
22. terrible washers and dryers that barely work and are too expensive. Not to mention the homeless people that lock themselves in the laundry rooms.
23. homeless people asleep in the hallways
24. terrible, an uneven parking lot that does flood when it rains
25. Broken glass that always seems to be in the playgrounds and pool
Honestly the list goes on, please take this seriously this apartment is one of the worse, they don’t deserve any business

So the apartment complex has vandals that go around beating cars with huge dents broken windshields flat tires keyed all over (this is just what has happened to my parking spots) and look around and see other dents that have happened during the same time frame. People have no respect for others things here.

Michelle is a great manager

the people who run this place are literally the dumbest, most worthless people alive. this place is so disgusting it gives me the heebie jeebies constantly. my apartment has never felt like home and i never want to be inside of it.
(everything said earlier in posts i have experienced.) including leaks in my bathroom that i am too disgusted to post pictures of. there is mold. everywhere. i am going to literally die from living here. i feel bad for my body.
p. s. the real apartments look nothing like the model apartment. the real apartments are scummy and slummy. this place is a joke and a scam.
rot in hell cedar run.

As usual changing from heat to A/​C is behind schedule by a month. Rent has gone up $ 300 in the last year and a half.
Living here with every seasonal change you will either find yourself needing either an air cooling unit or an air heating unit because if you don’t you will have sleepless nights.
It’s almost officially summer here, no word of cool air. This is a message in a bottle. If you’ve found this review, look elsewhere for living quarters.
Oh yeah, the foundation of several units is literally non-​existent in some places. 1300 a month for this shithole? Worst choice to live ever.

It’s 750 on a Saturday and the banging has already started. So much for my one day to get a little extra sleep. I cannot wait to move out in july, I picked this place when I transfered because I loved the balcony. Boy was I wrong, I haven’t been able to use it the last two months because of construction.
Not to mention the kids running around screaming profanity.
I also got a letter from excel after 7 months of living here saying my electricity will be shut off because I haven’t paid. Basically I was made to think that was included in rent, and someone from the office, signed me up without my knowledge. To top it off they put the wrong unit so I never saw a bill and was completely misinformed, now I’m looking at 600 bucks for past due 7 months.
Water is constantly being turned off, and my drains are horrid. Not to mention the flooding in the parking garage causing me to get trapped in the summer.
No one is ever in the office on time, so beware of loading your laundry card on the weekend (my only time off)
Not a peaceful environment.

DO NOT spend your hard-​earned money living in this place. The water is constantly shutting off for entire days at a time, one time there was even disgusting sewage water coming up into my toilets and bathtubs filling so high that I thought it was going to start flooding my apartment. They are constantly doing construction, which would be fine if they notified you ahead of time. I work from home listening to audio transcripts and today there is loud construction occurring all day. Did they notify me that they were starting work on my building like their flyer claimed they would? NOPE. And when I called to ask when they were going to stop or why we weren’t informed ahead of time, the awful employee gave us the equivalent of a shrug and a sorry over the phone, saying they did inform us and that they would be doing it all day «until dark». The employees with the exception of one nice girl are horrible to deal with, never have a useful answer, and are always too busy listening to music on headphones to help you with anything, even simply getting you your package. They cannot enforce their dog shit policy, I am constantly stepping on poop on the sidewalks and the lawns are minefields. My neighbors let their dog piss off their porch onto ours and we complained about it and it still occurs– it’s animal abuse at this point not to walk a 50 lb boxer at least once a friggin month. I only got a 10 month lease but I wish it was shorter. This place is AWFUL.

After two years of living here, I’m honestly tired and want to move out as soon as our lease expires.
–They’ve repairing to garage for the last 6 months, and they closed routinely other places for parking due to construction. We were pushed to park in the area where our car was broken into, and our GPS and other valuable electronics were stolen.
–They constantly shut down hot/​all water due to «maintenance».
— They are incapable of enforcing the «dog poop policy». Dog poop is everywhere: on the grass, children’s playground, on the sidewalks. It’s disgusting.
— Racist neighbors left swastika drawings on the elevator.
— It’s unsafe and unsanitary.
— They enforced closing hours for laundry rooms, but often opening it late. It’s just disrespectful to tenants.
–They raise the rent every year while the conditions only get worse.

I currently live in Chicago and am transferring to Denver and have been looking at apartments online and have been reading reviews from past tenants. Now mind you, I have never been to Cedar Run nor even tried contacting them for any information so I can not talk about their property. But after reading the reviews on Unilocal and
and seeing the way the that the manager Christina responded to some of these reviews, made me cross Cedar Run right off my list right away. No manager should talk to anyone like that. Even if that tenant does bash you. Looking at reviews, the most normal response from «professional» management is «I’m sorry you had a bad experience at _​_​_​_​_​. We would like to talk more to you about your issues and try to find a way for us to improve ourselves.» That’s what she should have said. She is acting immature with her choice of words and I can’t imagine what those poor tenants have to verbally hear from her. Won’t even think twice about stopping at Cedar Run with her as management. Will find a place a lot more professional.

This place is terrible. I hate living here. There’s just so much to say… where do I start?
My partner and I moved here in August 2012 after we received short notice that we had to leave our last rental. From the outside, this place looked legit. And at $ 890, it was an affordable, two-​bedroom option in a neighborhood we like (but it is not «Cherry Creek» as the management likes to advertise).
I would write a novel if I tried to list all of the things I hate about living here, but I will just list a few of the most horrifying:
1. We pay $ 25 per month for a parking spot in a garage that is frequently flooded and smells like sewage. Our has been hit, blocked in, and our space has been stolen. The management does not patrol these spaces or keep any tabs on who goes in there. It’s disgusting, but we keep parking there because once you sign up for a spot, you must continue to pay $ 25 for the duration of your lease.
2. The hallways are always littered with shopping carts, trash, cigarette butts, and feces… human or dog, I’m not sure. The cleaning crew only comes once a week on Thursdays. It’s embarrassing to have company.
3. We started paying $ 890 in rent… and now they are asking $ 1165 for the same unit. That’s the increase in just two years. They blame it on «needed repairs,» though it seems to all be cosmetic repairs to me and nothing substantial. Also, they tack on the gas and sewer to your rent. You have no option to pay it separately. Our gas went from $ 50 to $ 80 in a month when we used LESS heat and hot water than the month before. When we asked for an explanation, our calls and emails went unanswered. We will not be resigning our lease after August.
4. The outdoor pools might look nice from the outside, but they never maintain them. They’re gross. I’m worried I’ll get an infection if I swim in them.
5. Our dryers don’t work. We have to use a laundromat just to do laundry.
6. I have to complain about one more thing: the RUDENESS of the staff here. It comes out mostly when we need to go to the office for packages (because that is where they are delivered). Each time we need a package that has been delivered for us, the office staff have trouble finding the box and sometimes even send us away because they refuse to look. The *allegedly* have a leave-​a-​slip-​of-​paper-​in-​your-​mailbox system which does not work. I have rarely received a slip or a call when a package arrives. I have to become extremely demanding just to get them to look for and/​or give me my shit. And they frequently close the office early, which is just awesome.
In short, DON’T RENT HERE. It’s worth going a few minutes east into Aurora for lower prices and the chance of better management. I can’t wait to leave.

Absolutely horrendous, please spend the little bit of extra money to go elsewhere. I have seen friends apartments in Aurora that were only $ 100 more a month for 2 bedrooms and far better quality. Some of the terrible conditions at Cedar Run include:
1) No control over heating and cooling. It’s on a centralized system which is switched over by the apartments (I assume this is cheaper for them), so if it snows while it’s off you better have your own heater. Given the unpredictable weather in Denver, there were two snows in October right before I left and the heating system was just left on vent. There were also some strange smells coming out of the heating unit.
2) Leaking roofs (there is an emergency maintenance line which conveniently is disconnected, which left me to try and deal with it at 1AM). I got a call back the next day since I left a message on the main line and was just told that they would be working on all the roofs in about a week, which leads to…
3) They do extremely loud work (to the extent of actually shaking the apartment) on the parking lot and roof (because of the above) for weeks on end, for hours a day, with no warning and no reduction in rent, usually starting at 8AM.
4) Mold (probably a lot to do with the leaking roofs). I felt quite sick a lot of the time I was in there, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is unhealthy mold or other chemicals in the apartments.
5) Terrible conditions of the laundry rooms, including frequent overflowing of the washers that they know about but don’t fix.
6) The community manager is apathetic, careless, and never apologizes for her obnoxious mistakes. I recieved a call a month early telling me to turn in the keys because she hadn’t bothered to check the lease, then another threatening notice about my last utility payments 2 weeks before due date (for the record, there was NEVER a late payment).
7) Don’t bother being drawn in by the amentities. They are not well-​maintained and are definitely not worth it.
8) Bad neighbors who yell, fight, sing drunkenly, leave out barking dogs for hours, and knock on your door in the middle of the night asking to bum cigarrettes.
9) I recieved notices on my door on 3 – 4 different occassions alerting me that someone would randomly be coming into my apartment the next day for mortgage checks and other reasons.
10) For a last hoorah, they had the audacity to send me a threatening notice about owing them an extra $ 37 on top of my $ 150 deposit for a «full-​clean» after move-​out, stating if I did not hurry up and pay in 30 days (this is on the first and only notice I recieved from them) they would send me to a collection agency, damage my credit, and possibly result in litigation. They would not respond to emails requesting a reciept where I could see where these extra charges came from (also for the record, I did clean before I left).
PLEASE do not live here. This apartment complex is run like a slum, providing as little as possible and then threatening their tenants into extra payments because they know the majority of their tenants are too poor to do anything about it. A couple of the actual ladies who work in the office are nice, but as an organization it is terrible.

RENTERS BEWARE! THIS PLACE WILL HURT YOU IN THE LONG RUN! This place is not friendly and many crimes are committed on this property and vandalism because management does not care about their residents or the property! The residents don’t pick up the dog poop at all, and management is the worst i have seen in many years. The apartments are great but the people are mean and backstabbing. They don’t get work done on time and over charge for EVERYTHING! If i were you I would look else where to live, this place goes under water when it rains or snows, and the driveways are way too steep for cars to get in and out of when they ice over. This used to be a dump yard, they should make it back into a dump yard, hint the name «Cedar Dump». They need to totally change management and totally rebuild cedar dump. There are no wheel chair access ramps for the wheel chaired people, and no lights in the court yards and no security at night «only until 10» and the dude sits at the club house protecting it instead of the property where the drug deals and everything happen. What a great place to live ya know what i mean?
P. s. If you want a better place to live seriously «Jesus saves» is downtown, they are a lot better then here! and no as dangerous!
