Pinegate West Apartments

Amazing apartments! Never met a nicer, easier to work with staff! The apartments are in a great location. They are clean, well kept and updated beautifully! Eric is so helpful and smiles and says hello to me every time I see him! In the moving process my account with KCP&L got switched up and I owed the complex some money, Eric remembered that I was on my honeymoon and put a note in my file not to collect the charges until later so that I wouldn’t come back to a bill. That kind of customer service is above and beyond!

This place really is as good as it gets. I lived here from June 2008 to August 2010 and had a wonderful experience. I haven’t lived in a better apartment before or since. I moved to Denver for graduate school and that was the only reason I left. I’m finally writing this review because I’m looking for apartment number two in Denver right now and it has been an exhausting experience. I’m feeling nostalgic about the time I spent at Pinegate West.
I lived in the smallest one bedroom floorplan (about 600-​square-​feet) very comfortably with my Jack Russell Terrier. The apartment had all the amenities I wanted including a washer and dryer, garage, pet friendly, dishwasher, central air, balcony, plenty of storage, guest parking and closet space. It’s also in a decent location — close enough to fun things, but not in the ghetto — and the price was unheard of for what you get. I had few problems, but the maintenance staff always fixed things right away and the people in the office were friendly. I actually got pretty spoiled here because when I started looking for apartments in Denver I couldn’t find anything nearly as nice or anywhere near that price range. I wish I could just transplant Pinegate West to Denver. If I ever move back to KC and need to rent a place, I would definitely live here again.
One thing you have to remember is that many problems people complain about in reviews when living in an apartment complex are caused by inconsiderate neighbors and are usually not the fault of the apartment management. There was one incident where a party went awry and some drunk guy was laying on the sidewalk in his underwear. I just called the police and watched them take care of it from my front door. There was no danger — just some drunk kid being a jackass… it was actually pretty funny. Frankly apartment complexes can’t control the amount of idiots in the world — there are far too many! However, Pinegate West did have an age restriction when I was there — nobody under 21 was allowed to rent. I think that helped out quite a bit. There’s just a certain amount of BS that you have to put up with when you live in an apartment community, but it was minimal for me at Pinegate West.
The bottom line is, I am quite picky (I want it all for a good price) and believe a good apartment is hard to find. I was pleasantly surprised with my experience here.

Pinegate West apartment complex, on 65^th between Nieman and Quivera, is somewhat unique because there is no one above or below your apartment. The garage for each apartment is attached to the building. If yours is on the ground floor, the garage is right outside your kitchen door. If you live upstairs, you go outside to get downstairs to your garage. Other features, like included washer, drier, dishwasher, some with a fireplace, some with a microwave, are similar to other apartments. Staff are friendly and helpful. The complex is pet friendly, and you pay once for your pet, not monthly. The Gum Springs Park is just to the west, for added dog walking space.
