Stone Mountain

If you work hard for your money do not rent here. The apartments are nice and haven’t needed any maintenance but the managing staff is horrible. When I read about the management before I rented I didn’t think much of it since you deal with them 3 – 4 times a year but they have made life hell.
I pay around 800 $ a month and have never been late on a payment. They then extorted me for 150 $ by booting my car when it was on file. Below are the links to videos I uploaded of them booting my car, me going in for help to the management and proof that I had a permit and my car was legally parked. The videos should be in order.
Missed a day of work had to wait tell 9pm the next day to get the car, 150 $ fee for parking my car where i
NOT RENT HERE THEY WILL GET YOU FOR EXTRA MONEY. If you want to get to know the kind of people you are going to deal with these videos will HELP you A LOT!

Stone Mountain Apartment Homes is the best! My husband and I moved to Stone Mountain a few months ago and love it. The team in the leasing office is incredible as well as the entire maintenance staff. If we ever have a question or a concern we feel comfortable going in and speaking to the staff. I hope our house is never done being built. Me and my husband are loving apartment living at Stone Mountain.

Dont move into these apartments. Save your money and go somewhere else. Its a nice location to live your only 30 mins from Denver and Boulder. But the staff is so Terrible. I really don’t think someone is in charge. Its a free for all and they just go with it. Its really sad how much we pay to live there and no one knows how much rent is. Its different every month. They just make it up. Dont move in. It sucks to live there. Read all these reviews. No one has anything nice to say about this place. Dont live their. No one knows what the hell is going on.

We enjoy living at Stone Mountain, but there are some issues that we’re not sure can be resolved. On the positive side, the location is convenient for both my husband and myself to get to work. We like the feel of the park across the street and the feeling of security with the police right next door. The pool is nice enough, although it isn’t heated and we missed several nice days of swimming because of overnight lows. The fitness center isn’t anything special, but everything works. The layout of our 1 bedroom is practical, with lots of closet space. Again, the appliances aren’t anything special, but everything works. Management is friendly and responsive, and our few maintenance requests have been attended to promptly. We like having a glimpse of the mountains from our patio.
On the negative side, we’re in a bit of a «transitional» neighborhood. While the mall in front of us is pretty nice and has lots of stores and restaurants, the shopping center behind us has a thrift shop and a dollar store. The neighbors are also mixed. My husband had a small theft of items from his car — seemed like stuff kids would take. I’ve never felt threatened or unsafe, but people certainly aren’t friendly. We don’t know anyone else in the complex. When we moved in, we were told there would be «social events», but we haven’t been notified of anything going on (except for the day they let the dogs swim in the pool. Wet dogs — no thanks). The families with many children take over the lawns and the pool, so we don’t feel comfortable having friends over or planning to use the amenities. The one day this summer when we did have (our two allotted) guests, there was a child’s birthday at the pool and children were running around and screaming. It totally ruined what should have been a chill day. People with dogs are the most disrespectful. Dogs run around off leash and all they do is send out a memo. I’ve learned to avoid the lawns most of the time, because people don’t clean up after their pets, in spite of threatened fines and available bags and trash cans. One of our neighbors has a dog that barks loudly late into the night (we think she goes out and leaves the dog). We’ve complained several times but to no avail. Not only am I upset about the lack of sleep, but the dog sounds really miserable too… This complex definitely needs a 24 hour «security patrol» that other complexes have to address these kinds of things.
Our apartment also seemed to be missing some things that are pretty standard, like a sprayer in the kitchen sink and a programmable thermostat (the changing temperatures throughout the day often make it necessary to use both heat and AC in the same day, and the thermostat forces us to choose one or the other). We brought in our own towel racks and shower head, and that really helped. With the colder weather, having the hot water heater outside on the patio seems to be a problem too — it takes the water a long time to heat up, and I’m pretty sure its costing us more to keep the water heating all the time. The «upgraded» two-​tone paint is also kind of icky — I hate taupe. Stone Mountain should offer the accent wall option (I’m not a good painter, and I don’t want to be responsible for painting the walls back). The garbage situation is also a major drawback.
Whether we renew or not is really going to depend on what kind of offer we get to stay. I’ve seen posts that people’s rent has gone up as much as $ 250/​month here, and that’s just out of the question. We’ve started looking at other places, and we can get a 2-​bedroom for that amount. We’re also going to need more storage space, so the option of a garage (especially attached) could make or break our decision to stay. One place we looked was willing to give us the garage for free if we agreed to take a 3^rd floor apartment, which is where we are now, so we liked the sound of that. However, we generally like our apartment and the complex, and if the price was right, we could see ourselves staying another year.

Visit this place often since my friend lives out here. Overall, nice apartments, laid out nicely. Wall to wall carpet, wish there were more lights in the ceiling, place seems really dark. Great location right off the highway. Could be closer to the Park and Ride though, you have to cross a major roadway to get to the Park and Ride.
Beware of moving in on special deals, my friends rent is being increased $ 250. I don’t think she will be staying past this year.
Apartments are nice for what is offered.

I am moving from this complex this week and I have lived here for a year. I have not experienced any problems with the management, really. The ladies in the office have been very nice. My issues are around the tenants and safety.
I have had terrible experiences with some of my neighbors. Many people living here have quite a few children crammed into small apartments and they let them run and play in the parking lots. Some residents like to stand in the public walkways and smoke and drink and play loud music from their apartments. I have come home to strange men sitting in front of my door putting their cig butts out on my doorstep. They have also spit in my path, landing right in front of my door. I have beer bottles on and next to my car at least three times a week. People park in handicapped spots and non-​parking spots constantly and nothing happens, except the handicapped have no where to park.
Additionally, the people who live above me jump and bounce all day and night long. When asked (politely) to stop (by me), the man living there nearly attacked me and slammed his door in my face. When asked by the management, he ignored them.
The only complaints I have about the actual management company are these — When we toured the facility they told us that the gate would be fixed shortly. That was 13 months ago. It took 4 months to get the new one installed. They told us they couldn’t give us a key card until the data was put in. Well, 13 months later, we have never gotten key cards and our names aren’t even in the database. They give us the UPS code to get in. People pull to the side to let you type in the code and follow you in. There is no safety, just inconvenience. The people who live here break the law constantly and there are near accidents several times a day because people go the wrong way in the circle and blow stop signs.
Lastly, there is only one trash compactor and it gets full constantly. You have to leave your trash on street next to it. It is very annoying.
These units are nice but for all the headache I have had here, I am not positive if it was worth it. The apartments are spacious and the pool is lovely. Just what trade offs are you willing to make?
