Creekstone Apartments

Living at Creekstone wasn’t bad once the couple upstairs who couldn’t stop fighting moved out. I had to call the office and the police many times. Then the last year of my lease we got flooded four times. Two by other tenants water heaters and two by the rains. Then when it came to move out I got hit with an almost $ 300 bill over and above my deposit. Some of the items I agreed with. Most I didn’t. Like the stains left in the carpets die to the flooding, among various other things. I received the notice in the mail and was given 5 days to pay or it goes to collections. That’s bull crap. And when I tried to call to discuss the charges they refused my calls, and never answered my emails. I talked to a lawyer and with the deadline to go to collections a day away I elected to just pay the bill. Rather than risk my credit. Between that and the stack of maintenance orders I had, I would never live there nor would I recommend it to anyone. Oh it’s supposed to be a dog free complex but that’s not true. I seen dogs all over. Even Erica the asst manager who lived on site had a dog. But questions if I had a dog. This place is horrible.

I lived here in 2010 – 2011.
I didn’t mind living here. The apartments are nice and big. I loved the big balcony with the roof we had. The pricing was decent for what we got, though there are cheaper apartments in the area. The location was great. Not too far from unc and close to the shopping area, in a good part of town. We had a second floor apartment with no one above us, we also had out own entrance from the parking lot with our own stairs (the door lead into the stairway).
The only problem we had was checkout. When we checked out, they said everything was fine. They were taking $ 20 off our deposit for minor things. Turns out, they charged us for things we noted at check in, like the stair rod needing replaced. They ended up charging us an extra $ 100 on top of our Deposit. When we asked to see the original check out sheet, they refused. Nor did they tell us every thing that was wrong.
My roommates and I enjoyed living there, but based on the check out experience we probably won’t consider it again.

Let me preface this review by noting that I lived here for one year back in 2011 – 2012.
In short: I would only recommend living on Creekstone if you can get a top floor unit and if you have roommates. Stay away otherwise.
The location, in my opinion, was great. It’s close to shopping and it was close to where I worked at the time. It wasn’t unreasonably far from UNC and it was very close to AIMS. It is definitely located on a nicer side of town, however that made it more expensive. I never had an issue with crime and had no issues walking around late at night. Never had my car broken into nor did I see anyone else have the issue. The amenities were fair. Pool and hot tub was nice; although I rarely used either. I never touched the business center (or anything in the clubhouse) but I could see it being useful to those who didn’t have internet/​personal computer.
The leasing staff was generally fairly nice. They were respectful, remembered our names, and for the most part seemed to care about our well being. The manager of the complex at the time, was the exact opposite. Her personality was very fake and she did not seem to care for us at any point during the lease. Thankfully, my interactions with her were limited (by choice…) thus making her not a huge issue.
The apartment interior itself was decent. The kitchen was a little bland; the finish being particularly boring. However it accomplished what it was supposed to do. The carpets were clean but did show signs of normal wear and tear. Our unit had vaulted ceilings which was definitely a nice touch. The bathrooms were similar to the kitchen in their boring finish. You really have to decorate to make the place feel alive. When we first moved in (and upon move out), the apartment was uncomfortably white. There are very few other colors (besides the carpet). Overall, I had very little complaints about the interior. It was a 3 bedroom unit, but it did feel quite cramped at times.
We had a unit on the highest floor. Thus we dodged noise from any neighbors above us. Those who lived below could barely (if ever) be heard. I had a few friends who have lived at Creekstone. However, they lived in similar units, and so I never got to experience the noise level of an apartment unit that was not the top floor. Neighbors that shared a wall were also a non-​issue. The only problem with noise came from outside the apartment. Our unit overlooked the pool and (as expected) we could hear whenever someone was at the pool. It wasn’t just the pool though. Typically, anyone who happened to be walking by our building could be heard if they were talking. Most of the time, it would remain completely quiet at night, but there were a few annoyances of drunken conversations happening outside our windows.
When it comes to price, being that we lived in a 3 bedroom, it was reasonably split three ways. At one point prior to moving in with the two roommates I had considered a one bedroom. The pricing (back in 2011) was ridiculous for a unit the size they were offering. There were far cheaper places in Greeley that offered the same (if not more amenities).
Overall, I didn’t really mind my stay at Creekstone. The convenience for my work would have made it worth it had the one-​bedrooms been more reasonably priced. I definitely wouldn’t make it your first choice as there are better places that can be found. However, if you’ve got roommates and most of what you do is in southwest Greeley, then it’s a decent choice.
