The Alcott

I've lived here 3.5 years and while the building had never been amazing, constantly broken elevators, small pool/hot tub that has had a number of issues. The new management company that has taken over about 6-8 months is terrible. You will get no communication from the office staff. They will (legally) enter your apartment at any time to perform maintenance, which in itself is great, but everywhere I've lived before they at least provide you a heads up. Fixing things just doesn't happen quickly,… if at all. There are projects unfinished from before summer. Rent prices here are plumitting for a reason, so be aware before you look at the prices and get excited. Read More

Lived here for 2.5 years, starting from when the building first opened. It was nice being close to the city, the highlands and Jefferson Park. But at this point the cons far outweigh the pros. My car was stolen from the “secure garage”, along with many others. Packages and food stolen from inside. And it’s not that the elevators break “sometimes”. They are constantly broken. Having spoken to elevator maintenance and the original maintenance staff of the building, they can’t be permanently fixed.… They were built/installed too quickly. They will always break and need to be fixed. Staff while I was there as of a couple months ago was impressive in their perceived care for your issues. But gave little care to execution and follow through. I’ve been working with corporate for going on 2 months to resolve issues with my final bill because all messages sent to management were ignored.

Short summary of other issues over my time at the Alcott:
- shooting outside, bullet damage to front of building and gym glass (2021)
- stolen cars, bikes, packages, gym equipment and food
- homeless sleep inside parking garage and elevator lobby
- surrounding parking lots are used by local kids to do burnouts and set off fireworks. At all hours.

Again, the location of the building made having fun, easy. But constant minor inconveniences and occasional major inconveniences make this place, overall, a dump. Read More

I originally chose The Alcott based on location, but was very impressed by the property and units.
Cat made it very easy to move in, and is a complete joy to work with through the process.
The community events are also a blast to attend.

Overall, the apartment itself was decent but they should be since they newer, but parking is a hassle, and there is a lot crime including a known street racing gang that hangs out by the building. Ever been a building were windows were shot at. Yeah, very luxurious. Denver police even installed cameras because it has been such an issue.
Homeless have been able to access common areas. Tenants lack respect for the common areas. Elevators work less often than not. Codes required for the… stairways but they are not provided. Don't store your bike in the bike area unless you want to off load it. Maintenance is great and responsive but management was lacking. Not really safe to walk after dark and really isn't close to much walking wise. Read More
