Resident 221040

Verified Resident ā€¢ 2015 - 2016

3/1/2016

I chose to live at Amaranth after reading terrible reviews of other communities. One major concern I had was security, after reading multiple reviews of buildings downtown saying there were sometimes homeless people in the hallways, people's cars were stolen out of the parking garage, etc). Amaranth is as secure as any building can be. You have to swipe to get into the building when the rental office is closed and have to swipe to get up the elevators at any time of day. Another concern I had was noise, after reading tons of reviews of other buildings complaining about thin walls and noisy common areas. At Amaranth I barely hear my neighbors, so I've been really happy with that. Maintenance is also great, very prompt and competent, and the guys are really nice. There are some annoyances to living at Amaranth considering the amount you pay for it. It was by far the most expensive building I looked at outside of downtown. The rooftop is beautiful but closes at 10pm. A guy walks through and asks you to leave at 10:03. The elevators are down a lot. The rent payment system is idiotic - some utilities are included in the rent so your payment will vary a bit from month to month. The amount you owe is not posted until the 1st or 2nd of the month, and is due on the 3rd. If you pay late you get charged $50. You can go to another website to get the amount you owe a week earlier, then go back to the Amaranth website to pay, but...seriously? This is the best system you can come up with? Overall I have enjoyed living at Amaranth. I just think that things don't run quite as smoothly as they should, for the price you're paying to live here. It's a great option for people moving to Denver from out of state, a pretty neighborhood, and safe building with nice apartments. I would say you can even take an apartment sight-unseen if you're coming from far away. But considering what you get for the price, it doesn't make sense to stay here for more than a year, while you look for somewhere more permanent.

    Thank you for your review! It is great to read that overall you are happy with your experience here at The Amaranth. We appreciate the feedback on what we are doing right and areas that we can improve upon. We are working on getting a new website so that it should be easier to pay rent on a monthly basis. The balance will still show up on the first of the month but it should be a more user friendly experience. You are always welcome to pre-pay the balance from your monthly invoice on-line! ~The Amaranth Management
