Glenarm is a fun, active place with great people. My husband and I just signed our second year lease.

There is something very unique about coming home for the day and being greeted by a friendly concierge, and other building residents standing around chatting with one another or all on their way out to happy hour together.

If you are looking for a place to live that offers beautiful apartments and all the benefits of downtown Denver, you're going to want to check out 1600 Glenarm. Not only does the staff put on classy, fun and well-organized events to ensure 'knowing your neighbor' but residents constantly have open-door gatherings.
During ski season there wasn't a single weekend where building people didn't arrange a caravan to the mountains.

I love that Glenarm business management staff, concierge staff and maintenance staff attend all building events. There is a definite family feel here that is uncommon for apartment rentals.

The downtown location is perfect for people looking for easy social get-togethers. Happy hour at the bars surrounding the building is very popular among residents, as is grabbing a quick bite to eat at the Earls Restaurant or Cooks Fresh Market (located IN the building)or any number of downtown places. When you want to go home from LODO bars, its just a quick hop on the mall-ride to get back to Glenarm.

FACILITY:
Beautiful apartments. Appliances are all brand new, a lot of natural light, excellent views. The third floor patio has been fun all summer. Outdoor BBQ's, outdoor gas fire, plenty of tables-perfect! The computer lab has fast internet access, as well as free printing and faxing. The gym is small, but has treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and weights. Is kept very clean. Large media room with many couches, big screen t.v.'s and full kitchen. Great for Bronco's games, watching Grey's anatomy or having a party.

SAFETY: As a female, safety is extremely important to me. I appreciate that there is someone in the building at all times who can respond to anything I might need. I appreciate that when a stranger walks in, the Concierge staff will respectfully find out where they are going and who they are visiting. My friends and relatives have felt welcomed, and I always feel safe. Some buildings require key card access to get onto each individual floor. This is a huge hassle if you enjoy meeting your neighbors for coffee in their apartments, or if you want to go watch a Broncos game with your neighbor on another floor. Glenarm's set-up is not as 'secure' as some of these other buildings, but it creates a trusting atmosphere because you get to know people all over the building.

NOISE:
I have never had any trouble with noise here. Because I live downtown, I expect that if I open my window or patio door I will hear the sounds of the city. I can hear (and see) outdoor concerts from my balcony.

VALET:
The valet contract is with Silver Cloud and they do a good job. There is both underground parking and outside parking. I pay less for outside parking. This means that my car picks up the dust of downtown, but no more so than driving a few miles on I-25 in a Colorado Winter. I especially appreciate that the valets know my name, defrost and put on seat heat in the winter and put the air on for me in the summer. They also help you unload your car if you have groceries or heavy items.

CONCIERGES:
Amazing, helpful, excellent service. The concierges at Glenarm are professional, kind, and personable. They genuinely care about residents. My friends were especially impressed that they remembered their names and who they were visiting. Fresh cookies and coffee in the lobby every day.

VALUE:
Glenarm's prices reflect the services and professionalism provided. Though rents here can be a little higher than at other places, I have never lived anywhere that responded to residents so well and fosters such a strong community.

OVERALL:
This is a great place to land. I'm disappointed with the hyperbole and outlandish statements by a couple of individuals. It seems there are some people who will find fault with anything and can never be satisfied. I hope you will come see for yourself. I'm sure the concierge will greet you with a friendly smile and a cookie.

The above review is obviously an advertisement by the staff at 1600 Glenarm. Please read my authentic review from August 1, 2007 below: RUN! Inadequate, unsafe and generally below average. From: AspenEye Date posted: 8/1/2007 Years at this apartment: 2006 - 2007 I am a current penthouse resident who signed a 12-month lease. I have been here for 11 months and am moving out early because I am unhappy with nearly every aspect of the building. It's no wonder why this building is having trouble being leased up! I will be the third penthouse resident to leave because of inadequate service and safety. SAFETY: Even after numerous requests, the building has still not secured the back alley access to the building. The front doors are secured by keycard access but that does no good if any vagrant can walk right up to the back alley and request the service elevator. Anyone can get to any floor (even the penthouse) through this unsecured dock entry. Beware! NOISE: The apartments seem to be extremely poorly insulated. Noise complaints are a weekly occurrence. Noise isn t just from neighbors, but from the street below. I m on the 31st floor; I can t imagine what it would be like on the lower levels dealing with the terrible noise at all hours of the day and night. VALET: The valet contract is with Silver Cloud and they do a good job with what they have to work with. The underground parking at the building left my car dirty nearly every day they brought it to me (I pay $250 per month for covered parking so it wouldn t get dirty). The outside parking was used for guest parking (you pay another $185 per month for this privilege). It takes the valets up to 15 minutes to bring your car to you if you do not have covered parking The building is out of covered parking as of this writing so get ready to wait a LONG time for your car if you decide to compromise your taste and move in. CONCIERGES: Laughable. No real service. When I moved in they said they would deliver my packages. Just last week I waited an ENTIRE WEEK for them to remember they had a package for me. If something is sent overnight, it must be important. The concierges are helpful if you ask them to buzz you into the building. Tipping them doesn t seem to help either. Also, they just hired a new concierge by the name of -----. ----- looks like he just came from a soup kitchen and will be certain to leave any guests you have with a less than favorable impression of the building. VALUE: At the end of the day this is simply a very average apartment in a remodeled 60 year old office building. Because of that you will have general maintenance issues often. For example, I have been trapped in the elevator on 2 different occasions for a very long time. Both times, only a verbal apology was given. I live on the top floor and if you want to get to Earls Restaurant, you need to take the poorly maintained SERVICE ELEVATOR to reach the entrance. If you have guests you will find yourself apologizing for the elevator. When you are paying over $4000 a month for a rental, you shouldn't have to apologize for the condition of the facilities. Don't use price as an indication of quality. You would be better living at the new Hyatt next door for the same price. Then, maybe you would get decent service. OVERALL: Run! Don't walk from this place. If you have discerning taste, you will choose to live in another high rise building. If you want to talk to me further about this, please contact me via email with your specific questions and I will be extremely happy to speak with you. klchavez@hotmail.com ________ The marketing genius at 1600 Glenarm is estounding! Don't take this propaganda at face value. Cheers.
