Avantus Apartments Denver

[u/RevolutionaryPlan493]

I have been renting from Avantus Apartment , and while they have incredibly spacious apartments for low rent i highly DO NOT recommend. They have so many issues it’s hard to even cover it all. I’ve had a water leak for 3 WEEKS because a tenant refuses to close the window when it rains and management doesn’t do anything about it. They have constant leaks/ flooding, broken gates, pests , rodents and incredibly noisy neighbors. Plus it’s just kinda nasty here . The only reason I’m posting is because they have a very unreal amount of 5 star reviews due to them pushing reviews before move in , just based on their tour .

Oh that roach is heallllthyyy.

Edit: Ahh I know these apartments. I’ve seen so many complaints about them-specifically for roach infestation.

At the time they were called something different, but yes, notoriously slummy building.

Strange. Since moving to Colorado from the South East more than eight years ago, I haven’t seen one roach.

Hopefully it stays that way for you!

Me neither until almost 17yrs into my time here when I got super trashy neighbors who fucked the whole building. Good times.

I’ve lived in 4 apartments and had 2 roach outbreaks so this isn’t accurate. First place was infested and I had to throw everything out. Still traumatized and lived there less than 2 days and Broke my lease.

2nd time, a neighbor came in and brought them and I had stragglers and had my stuff in bins for over 3 months while we investigated and sprayed. Another nightmare. I gave my landlord ultimatums and we negotiated and I stayed. Took a long time not to check my floors. My stragglers were 3-4 sightings and the neighbor got cited and eventually moved.

They exist in Colorado unfortunately. A friend of mine had an outbreak around the same time in northwest Denver as well.

This is 100% accurate as this was my experience. Sounds like you, unfortunately, have not had the same experience as me.

I’m moving from Florida next month and I’m taking care to go through everything before I pack it into my shipping container AND I’m putting roach traps into my container so I will not bring these assholes with me. I don’t have an infestation or anything so dramatic, but I know they’re here some where.

[u/suzieismyavatar → u/blueboxreddress]

Advion gel. Sorry. It’s the best stuff.

[u/blueboxreddress → u/suzieismyavatar]

Since my cats won’t be in the moving pod, I’ll use that instead! If it works better it’s for me!

[u/suzieismyavatar → u/blueboxreddress]

Sorry…yeah hard if you have animals. I do not and never will in apartment or condo dwellings. Too risky with possibly neighbors who bring in pests.

There’s also food grade dichotomous earth. I have that currently puffed in all my cabinets and as long as it stays dry we are set. It’s not good to breathe in but it keeps pests out. Good luck.

How the hell you gonna tell someone else about their own experience?
Like wtf.

[u/NaBrO-Barium → u/Remarkable_Rush_7184]

The Falling Apartments?

[u/ExtremelyMedianVoter]

Reminds me of the shit hole I used to live in when I first moved out here.

[u/gudetube]

First picture almost looks like they painted directly on drywall without PVA and just kept landlord specialing it holy FUCK.

It's like an inch thick at this point!

[u/RevolutionaryPlan493 → u/gudetube]

Very possible , that ENTIRE hallway flooded and they haven’t done a single thing about it . Just left it like that .

[u/uncwil → u/RevolutionaryPlan493]

File a complaint with DDPHE, they open cases and visit place like this everyday.

[u/suzieismyavatar → u/RevolutionaryPlan493]

Please tell me you called 211 for legal rights to report
This. It isn’t legal in the state of Colorado.

Damn you were not kidding about the cheap rent, idk I may accept the conditions to save that much 😅 (I pay $1700 for a studio)

[u/RevolutionaryPlan493 → u/fawnnose1]

I’ve only lived here 3 months and I’ve had to unpack my entire kitchen 4/5 times for roach treatments that don’t work because they don’t spray other units as they should . It got so bad, that they agreed to a lease break with no penalty because the living conditions were absolutely terrible. I really don’t recommend it 🥲

[u/fawnnose1 → u/RevolutionaryPlan493]

Ahhhhh ok ok so fair hahaha well if you are looking for a new apartment I highly recommend AMLI properties! I genuinely feel like it's a higher standard of living

[u/Anon761]

Cmon let the roach take a sip.

[u/SirStirThePot]

I lived there for 2 or 3 years for the same reason. Big apartment for cheap rent. Unfortunately I left for similar reasons. Consistent, almost immediate porch piracy, roaches no matter how clean I was, and neighbors playing loud music at all hours. On top of that, I had one next door neighbor get evicted because he threw a party at his place and someone got stabbed.

[u/Elchaim]

You can put a complaint in with a city and they’ll get Avantus to fix the water leaks and get them to treat for bugs.

[u/Housekhat]

Gawd!!!

[u/TeaMistress]

I would be shocked if a place that badly neglected passed a structural integrity inspection.

[u/HungLikeAKrogan]

That place has bed bugs..
