Grosvenor Arms

"I would give this place an 8/10. The architecture of the building is the Tudor Revival English style. It's a gorgeous building built in 1931 and I always loved coming home. It really is fun to look at all the various accents and what not all over the place. It is an older building, but it has character and class. Moving into the building is easy because there is a service elevator that backs out right into the alley. Property management: The property managers can make or break a living experience. I can say that the team here is great. Paige, Jose the maintenance man, etc... all solid. They are easy to reach, pleasant to deal with, and care about your experience as a tenant. Drawbacks: No A.C in the building. But you can buy a standing unit to vent to the window which solves that. I recommend doing this. Heat: It's central heating for the whole building. You do not have control over the heat in your appt, there are no individual thermostats. To regulate the heat you have to play with the windows to get the right draft going. Otherwise, it gets incredibly dry and hot in the apartment. No gym, no amenities of any kind in the building. Laundry room is upstairs and is clean and well maintained. They do have a mandatory service that picks up and throws away your trash for you, which is nice. Location: Uptown, Cap Hill. There will be homeless people around the property at times. Most of them are harmless and not aggressive, but not all of them. Pay attention. You will hear police sirens at least once or twice a day (the police station is a couple blocks down on 16th). They are building a new 10 story apartment complex right on 16th, so this will change the character of the block. More people, less parking, no more view (I had an incredible view of both the cathedral and the capitol). To summarize, this is one of the better value places in Denver. I would recommend living here."

"The managers have violated my lease multiple times and are evicting me while refusing to post notice or tell me when the court date is. I have no way to fight these criminals if I can't even figure out how to show up to court. Never rent here. There's much better places nearby for the same price or lower. Edit: Please note they entered my apartment without notice or permission while my lease was still active, which is illegal in the state of Colorado. The apartment wasn't filthy, I was packing up boxes and cleaning. They hadn't bothered to contact me and refuse to just follow the law."

"I lived at the Grosvenor Arms from January to December 2020, only leaving because I moved cities. The building was very quiet. Management kept the building and grounds well-maintained. The building was very safe, with two secured-entry doors. The location could not be better, close to parks, shopping, and restaurants. Maintenance was extremely responsive to requests. Management and staff were friendly and helpful. The price was very reasonable, and the other tenants were polite and respectful. I have recommended the building to several friends and coworkers. An excellent place to live!"

"Beautiful old building. I moved into a studio two years ago, and later upgraded to a one bedroom with my fiance. Each unit is unique, so if you don't love the first one you look at, it's probably worth your time to check out a few more. What really sold me on moving in was Paige, the property manager. She is very knowledgeable about the building, responsive if you have any questions, and can be trusted to take care of your concerns. The building is not perfect, due to its location (homeless and mentally ill people living in the area) older plumbing (they will warn you if water needs to be shut off and it will be addressed if you're having pressure problems) and occasionally loud neighbors (the price is right, which means a lot of young people live there) but overall I really loved living in GA, and felt like I was getting exactly what I was paying for."

"AVOID AVOID AVOID. Building management is constantly changing prices of utilities WITHOUT notice OR explanation. Gas prices (regardless if you actually use heat or not) have gone up by four fold- my average in the middle of winter was $13 and once February rolled around it randomly went up to $58 and has been in the $50-$60 range for 3 months now….. even though we’re in warmer months. They charge a $60 “amenity fee” but don’t hold your breath; you’re paying $60 for spotty WiFi and “Valet trash pick up” which only comes 2 times maybe 3 a week, the dumpsters are left locked- so if you want to take your own trash out, YOU CANT. There’s NO air conditioning for the building, so you have to get a window unit. No in unit laundry- it’s on the top floor. The door locks stick, sometimes keys will break in the locks. Homeless people hangout in the courtyard and occasionally get into the building- the building manager does NOTHING about this, OR the homeless people sleeping in the lobby or stealing packages. Oh and besides the $60 for WiFi and trash pick up- you’re getting ZIP!"
