Summit View Village

I lived in Summit View for one year. It was terrible. First off, my roommates and I were extremely overcharged for the apartment we got (seeing as it was one of the only properties left to rent in Golden, we were pretty much forced into it). The website advertised beautiful apartments that looked nothing like what we had, and extremely misleading pictures of their facilities (the club house, for the employees, was beautiful. The gym, however, is a non-​air conditioned closet with equipment from the 80s and the pool was never as clean as in the pictures). The pool at the club house was usually covered in dead bugs and other nasties. The laundry room had enough washers and dryers, but the washers ALL smelled like mildew and the dryers would sometimes not even dry your clothes even though you payed! Our apartment was poorly maintained, extremely dirty when we moved in (the carpet turned my white socks brown, not exaggerating), and not worth the money (AND THE RENT KEEPS GOING UP!). It didn’t look anything like the pictures on the inside, the kitchen was dirty and the wall paint actually had hair stuck in it all over the place. The AC was pathetic and the heat didn’t work at all. The walls were so thin or the vents were connected or something, but I could hear my neighbors shower, talk, playing music, etc. There was always a draft, our AC unit was not properly insulated and their solution was legitimately grocery store bags and pipe insulator. Also for some reason you could feel the wind blowing out from under the bathroom sink? It was miserably hot in the summer, and freezing cold in the winter. The most frustrating of all, the internet was absolutely terrible. We had Comcast, and even with an alternate router (rather than the one from Comcast) the connection was so slow you had to be in the same room as the router for pages to load, and forget trying to do homework if someone else is watching Netflix. I have also heard from Century Link customers that their experience was no different. If you need a useful connection, plug into the Ethernet or try again at 3am. The management at the Leasing Office was frustrating to deal with, even quite rude sometimes, they often «lost» our mail/​packages (obviously didn’t look hard enough in the back room), and were not at all helpful when there were billing issues. Upkeep was awful, they snowplowed the parking lots (loudly) at all hours of the night and there was constantly construction going on taking up parking spots. Finally, to add insult to injury, when we moved out as soon as the lease ended, we didn’t get back ANY of our security deposit due to «outstanding fees», I still have no idea where they came from.

I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. Lol. But when you call maintenance out of concern for your sons health because there is a bird in your bathroom ventilation. They ignore you. Or they come check it out, make a mess, and don’t even clean it up. Did I mention our AC unit is from 1998 and hardly even spits out «cool» air? Called them for that too and no one called me back. No one ever calls you back! Their lack of concern for the tenants is alarming. The laundry room is sick. Smells like feet. They just don’t give a hoot. It’s apparent and obvious too. I at least call them once a month for something to be fixed, and it’s either half asked or ignored. Great! Love that I pay 1600 $ for a three bedroom crap hole. (: stay away!!!

I am writing a review one year later to say that skyline apartments are still the worst! Luxury is the last word I would use to describe these apartments. My apartment flooded and Inez was no help not did she seem to care about my emergency. I have mold in my apartment and skyline refuses to accommodate or care about my situation. I have lived here for over a year and always pay my rent in time but that does not seem to matter. DO NOT LIVE HERE!!! You will not be happy

My husband and I showed up for an appointment to see some apartments. We arrived to the office to see they would be back at 10:20… It was 12:40. I called from the lobby, no one answered. TWO people walked in and we waited almost 30 more minutes to be acknowledged. We finally made it in to see someone was in the the entire time. Already annoyed.
WE finally got a tour, and saw some tiny, smelly apartments. And were warned «don’t poke holes in the ceiling» and «don’t scrape the paint off». Why? BECAUSE THEY HAVE ASBESTOS IN THE CEILING AND LEAD PAINT ON THE WALLS. Isn’t that illegal and not up to code? The girl showing us even said an apartment with a loft that had beams was out of code. WHAT ON EARTH?
For an apartment with lead paint «under, like, a million coats of paint, hehehe» and asbestos on the ceiling, the rent was ridiculously too high. Needless to say, we will not be leasing from them.

We lived at Summit View for a few months while purchasing a new home. The location is ideal and we fell in love with the town of Golden. Summit View has a variety of people that live there. We made friends easily and our kids looked forward to meeting other kids at the playground every evening when the weather was nice. The clubhouse has office space with computers, a gym, a pool, and a hot tub. The staff is friendly, attentive, and fair. They host parties and activities throughout the year including a movie night for the kids with popcorn and candy, a Halloween party, Oktoberfest and other fun activities for the folks that live there and their friends. All in all not a bad place to live.

This complex is awful. Awful. Awful.
Stay away!
The hot water constantly goes out, heat does not stay in the apartment, And the ac unit doesn’t spread cold air more than two feet. That’s just the beginning.
The water in both the sink and bathtub make this horrendous noise every time there is more hot water than cold. This is a building thing. I have friends know other buildings and it’s the same story.
The toilet constantly runs. The refrigerator leaks water over the kitchen floor. And occasionally freezes EVERYTHING, causing not only the food to freeze, but the shelves to be covered in sheets of ice.
Our toilets have been clogged by the pipes. Under the kitchen sink had something so horribly wrong with it there was dirt, food, and grime from the garbage disposal ALL over the bottom under the cabinets one day. Oh yes, the cabinets. They aren’t put on properly, the counter tops are in at an angle, and off. The handles on the drawers are off centered, while the holes from previous handles aren’t plugged properly.
The painting is… I can’t even explain it. It looks like someone closed their eyes and went wild. There are paint drips in the shower, on the floors and on light switches.
Under the dishwasher Isn’t even correctly blocked off… it’s a trash bag taped between under the sick and where the dish washer is.
For your own sake,.just look somewhere else. and please know the «model» you’ll see is NOT what you get.

To begin with, this is probably the worst place I have ever lived. But let’s start with the good.
1) it’s not luxury, but really not that bad. It’s okay for one person who doesn’t care about dirty appliances that don’t work properly.
2) the main building is cool, they have a pool and a gym, and the people at the main office are nice.
Alright, onto the bad…
1) The walls are ridiculously thin. If you like privacy, don’t expect to get it here. I can hear people’s conversations — Seriously every word!!! Through the walls, a baby crying, someone’s music vibrating the whole floor. (The sad thing is the people playing the music lived in the apartment underneath me & I could still hear it!!) I hear people flush the toilet, take a shower, etc; Not to mention that the front doors are extremely heavy and make a loud slamming noise every time it’s closed. Expect to hear that from everyone throughout the apartment ²⁴⁄₇. Noise is expected when living in an apartment building, but I practically live WITH the surrounding people.
2) The parking is awful. Everyone has a pass and *apparently* if someone is parked here without one they will get towed. Well, I’ve seen the tow truck here once and that’s because someone called it. There were multiple times where I’ve had to park in the FedEx parking lot behind the building because not only is there not any parking in the lot, but the street is full as well. They do a terrible job at monitoring who is parked here illegally, and quite frankly they don’t care.
3) The place is disgusting. The walls are dirty with a coat of cheap paint slapped over them. The carpet is stained and I have constant allergies from the dust mites. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is mold in the walls, since I’ve developed a chronic cough since I’ve lived here.
4) The maintenance sucks. The parking lot is practically an ice skating rink in the winter, and when they do decide to shovel the sidewalks, it’s always at 7am on a Saturday morning. Same thing with the lawn mowers in the summer– first thing in the morning on a weekend.
So, basically if you decide to live here expect:
*No sleep
*Obnoxious people
*Poor maintenance
*appliances constantly breaking/​not working properly
*and you may develop health issues!
We Summit View!

I lived here for 3 years… it was cheap! 545 for a 2 bed apartment! HUH OK for me that’s great! I worked in Golden and Denver. 6^th ave is 3 seconds away… and 6^th ave is quick (at the right hours) and easy!
My place was OK … not luxury not a crap hole… just right!
I did have a mold problem in the walls which they did not recognize… but i did not truly notice till the end of the lease.
They have free rentals of DVDs and their selection is not bad…
The laundry room is big and not expense. they do have a few computers u can use and printers but the connection is slow and truly spotty…
parking under an awning is nominal
plowing in the winter constantly left me stranded! Block in but it was fine… i called in or took the bus that was a block way!
maintenance was quick at times… in the winter not so much. Expect college kids around yeah… Mines kids … not toooooo bad but can be annoying when you gotta get up for work during a finals week or something.
Everyone I met here was great! Carrie was great in the office!
I am happy overall but I am also unhappy about little things. Like in the winter waiting 2 day after pipes freeze… broken bottles in parking lot that no one acknowledged for days.
but truly can a place be perfect for the price???
I have three stars… good cheap place to live :)
