I would exercise caution when deciding to rent from this complex…read more A conflict of interest may very well exist here at Compass Meridian. My experience was interesting to say the least. I didn't feel welcomed but I decided to apply anyway. My application was approved with conditions. Upon approval I was required to pay a guarantor's deposit over $3,400 (this is a NON-refundable "deposit" by the way) for a one-bedroom with a monthly rate around $1,600. I've never been required to pay such a high deposit. Anyway, I learned that this "deposit", as they call it, wouldn't be available to me as insurance in the case of a rainy day or unexpected job loss. Any rental coverage needed due to unforeseen circumstances in the future (very likely in these economic conditions and even more so as a minority) would be paid to the property on my behalf by TheGuarantors (a provider of rental coverage) However, I would still be liable for re-paying TheGuarantors for ANY rent paid on my behalf despite paying a "deposit", of over $3,400. Btw - It's not a deposit, it's a service fee. Although they may prefer the term "premium payment", TheGuarantor collects this fee for offering rental coverage for the landlord only. The policy you pay for protects the landlord only. Not you, not your family. Additionally, the policy will need to be renewed every year with your lease renewal, including the high premium. It's very misleading and smells predatory. There are reports of landlords who force this onto prospective residents even when the resident meets acceptable criteria resulting in unfair practices. It doesn't function in the way most insurance policies do. If you find yourself in the likely position where you are unable to pay them back it will be negatively reported on your credit profile, creating further hardship and reducing accessibility to housing ran by filthy, greedy, slum lords. I did a little bit of research. Entering into an agreement with TheGuarantors will allow you access to move into a "desired" apartment but it comes with significant risk. It is very costly (and not just in the monetary sense) and you are subjecting your credit profile (and your sense of wellbeing) to substantial damage. And, if the report is disputable, you will have to fight for it. The BBB has some horrifying reviews/disputes on TheGuarantors...renters beware. Offering two months of free rent after paying a high premium that is non-refundable, isn't used for a rainy day and offers no protection for you or your family is not a good deal. Many communities offer the same promotions without a guarantors. Renters Beware. There are other solutions. Educate yourself and know your options. Don't limit yourselves and don't become a victim of predatory practices that may take a lifetime to recover from. Stay Empowered.

Bridgwater is BY FAR the best place I've ever lived in Colorado. Yes, it's a little on the…read moreoutskirts of Denver, however, what you get for what you're paying is so worth it! First of all, it feels like you are living in your own home with your own front door and attached garage. It hardly feels like an apartment complex at all! We have TWO master bedrooms, TWO bathrooms, and TWO giant walk in closets that are bigger than my sister's entire Denver studio apartment. Plus, the balconies are so massive that we have made it a whole additional living space complete with furniture, tables, and a grill. And, as someone else mentioned, it is surprisingly very quiet in the apartment. The office staff is incredible as well. Before we even signed the lease, the office staff was incredibly helpful, efficient, and already knew our names. Honestly, I felt more at home living here for two months than I ever did at any other apartment complex. The pool is also amazing. It's not huge, but is never crowded. I spend almost ever Saturday sitting at the pool, reading my book, drinking some white claws, and there are usually only about 5 people there. And sometimes I even have the place to myself. It's quiet, beautiful, and, to top it off, has a large gas fire pit. I moved in back in July, and I plan to stay here as long as I am living in Colorado (or can afford to buy my own house!) I am so incredibly happy here. The only negative I can think of (which is nobody's fault) is that when you order Door Dash, there's a 90% chance they will get lost in the complex. However, it provides the perfect opportunity to get some exercise and track the driver down -- it's sometimes like chasing the ice cream truck when we were kids!

The apartments are spacious and kept in excellent condition plus every unit has an attached garage and in-unit laundry facilities.

They host resident parties and fun activities throughout the year and we especially enjoy the coffee machine and dog snacks In the office!

I LOOOVE living at Denizen! I moved here from the Sunshine…read moreState last summer and chose Denizen based on reviews. Mind you, this is coming from someone who probably wouldn't entertain the idea of a blind date let alone do something crazy like move halfway across the country to an apartment I've never seen before. So, read on, folks. After calling this place home for almost a year, I'm happy to report that I couldn't have chosen a better community and location. Denizen is nestled mere steps from the light rail, a few more steps from grocery stores, and a bit more--err, but not too many--steps from a plethora of South Broadway shops, bars, and restaurants. Beyond that, the units are some of the nicest and cleanest I've ever seen. And, as an added bonus, the new Community Manager (Sarah Park) really takes this place to another level with her kindness and professionalism. So, if you like a walkable neighborhood, free coffee, ample dogs to pet, fun neighbors, and the most friendly and attentive front desk staff you'll ever meet, then cancel your other apartment tours. Denizen = 10/10

Editing my review 10/2019 - from five to three stars. The first two years I lived here, the staff…read moreand maintenance and everything was great. But the last several months I've been pretty displeased. My storage unit was broken into and I wasn't informed even though police were involved, many of my maintenance requests have taken 2-3 submittals to be resolved, and most recently my ceiling has been leaking for over two weeks now and is still not fixed. Besides all that, this is a great location and the building is still pretty new. Many of the residents are like-minded and young professionals like myself. I would still recommend people to consider denizen as an option for living, but be mindful that some reviews may be outdated; there has been a decline in management the last year or so.

He was just as invested in finding him as I was. He ended up finding the little rascal, so HUGE thanks to DJ. Other than that, we enjoy living here. Parking is easy, the units are nice and updated, other residents are friendly. The pool and hot tub area are newly renovated and is a beautiful space. The maintenance team is great too. I wish the clubhouse was open, it's been closed, open by appointment only, it's a great space and I wish we could enjoy it. Recommend as a place to live, and one more thanks to DJ!

I had given the apartment community previous a 4 star review. A lot has changed since then…read more Overnight my garage was broken into and my late mothers belongings were stolen along with tools. This is the 5th break in and theft that my roommate and I have experienced in the last 18 months. When we repeatedly complain to the office the property management clearly states its not their problem. Then give some excuse why they can't be proactive to protect its residents. Usually the claim is money. Yet they are always bringing in contractors to annoying and incredibly low quality work to update the property. If they'd only invest in more security such as cameras that would deter most of the theft. They instead tell you they hire a patrol company who closely monitor the property. And by closely monitor that means twice a month a patrol car will drive moderately fast through and leave. Car vandalism, break-ins and theft are at an all time high in this community. Break-ins of garages and apartments are at a way too high unacceptable amount as well. If you like safety and security this is NOT the apartment complex for you. Management will in turn justify their lack of attention and effort and try to turn the tables to you, the tenant, as the issues. They claim to have rules that are enforced but they only enforce when they mean to send a message to the person they are targeting. They require DNA for dogs but then never enforce dog poop cleanup and its everywhere. They bait and switch you for every thing so be aware of that and force your side when you have an agreement in writing. When I first moved in the garages were $80/mo. When I chose to get one they raised the fee to $100/mo. When I signed the contract they bait and switched the fee to $125/mo. So don't be fooled. Also, towing is enforced at random and you might see non residents residing at the property for months on end and nothing happens. You might have friends over one time and mid day their car is towed within an hour. The property is located at the bottom of a hill behind the old big lots strip mall and is hidden from major roadways. Even though the road that is running through the property is public law enforcement does little to patrol. There is very inadequate lighting and when you try to request the property install more they simply tell you to contact Excel as they are responsible for outdoor lighting for the parking lots. Buyer beware. If you move here be ready and accustomed to have your property damaged and stolen. Know that there is nothing that will be done about it in the end from either law enforcement or the property. And because of its location the issue is much higher than the surrounding area.

Would not recommend. My only goal is to help renters. Caroline specifically is the worst property…read moremanager I can imagine (if she still works there. It's been some years since we've been there, but I felt it still worth calling out.) They tried to increase the rental prices when it stated explicitly in our contract that they could not. It took a fight to get the issue resolved but we were correct. There were actually 3-4 clauses total that were an issue; thank goodness for our lawyer - and he's encouraging a class action suit. Aside from a shady business practice, the location doesn't have a lot to offer. It's very far away from everything and cut off by Lincoln, which gets busy and congested. Few things walkable, not a mature neighborhood. I'd choose the apartments by the light rail over this, but recommend the tech center. Editing to add: The manager is putting what I consider to be private information (when I lived at this location) on the internet, so I think that's a good proof point. To answer the other question about what else I had an issue with: They also were rude during the negotiation (so I DID take it to the manager, and we had to fight with a legal team and, as mentioned, we were correct.) I also feel the walls in the apartments are very thin, and there was little to no security measures. (No cameras in the parking lot, or at least not away from the main office)

But what impressed me most about this property were Jake F., Community Manager, and Carlos V., Leasing Specialist. In the process of trying to find a new home, I have seen a lot of properties and a lot of leasing consultants. Many are inexperienced, unprofessional, and lack knowledge about their property. Not so with Jake and Carlos. They answered all my questions and really treated me respectfully. Unfortunately, the floor plan I wanted wasn't available when I needed to move, and I found one a little more to my liking. But I would have enjoyed living at Zenith Meridian. The landscaping is beautiful, and it's close to the rail station. Not only that, there's a Starbucks and liquor store in walking distance!

I was too scared to file my HUD discrimination claim while living there. Unfortunately, it was denied due to the statute but he encouraged other residents to file a complaint if this is happening to them.
