  I’ve been living her about a month and just had to submit my first maintenance request. Edgar came and assisted me with my AC unit and he was AWESOME. Definitely knew what he was doing and very willing to answer any of my questions.

  Velaris living is an exceptional place to live, security at all hours and great amenities. Josie and TJ at the front desk are the absolute best and made our move in experience great. Very helpful with questions and always very friendly. Highly recommend

  walked in and toured with tj. immediately loved everything about the place, from the ambiance when walking in and being greeted right away, to the roof top pool and hot tub all the way down to touring the unit. the units are absolutely worth it wether it's a studio or a 2 bedroom. coming from new york i'm used to studios and that's what i was looking at and can tell you regardless of size, studios for the price they are avdertised as is well worth it

  I left a review 2 months back highlighting the good things about the property but since living here for a few months, my opinions on it have entirely changed. Since living here, I’ve experienced very out of control and aggressive homeless people doing hard drugs outside of the building. If you leave alone at night, they will at times become combative and try to fight you. I didn’t realize that a street over is basically the “Skid Row” of Denver. The bars and nightlife are fun around here. The field is close by which is a nice feature. The parking here is so limited and expensive ($275 per month), I had to get a spot at a parking lot a few blocks over and I genuinely fear for my safety at times. The building is nice, but I don’t know what to say about the location… it can be ratchet at times and I honestly want to break my lease. If you sign, just know that they give you 2 months free (at least that was my deal), but that’s how they get you if you ever need to break the lease. They will make you pay 2 months of rent PLUS the two extra months that were essentially gifted to you. They take their “gift” back is how I view it. They then will have you still pay for 2 additional months. Seems a bit predatory and excessive and I’m having someone look into that but figured I’d put that out there for anyone who may move here and ever need to do a lease break. It feels as though there’s always something broken within the shared amenities areas that needs fixing and it takes weeks sometimes over a month to fix. I remember the cardio area of the gym being out of order for a month and you could barely get any cardio in outside of a treadmill and some stair climbers. Somebody dropped glass in the pool and that was closed for 4-5 days. Someone’s dog pooped in the pool (???) and they had to shut the pool down for a week as well. The business center is nice and spacious but they advertise coffee for residents but they failed to mention that they charge money for the cups of coffee unlike many other apartment complexes where it is free for residents. I guess they don’t make enough off of our rents to cover coffee? The vending machines throughout the building are severely overpriced. Example: a Celsius drink is $5 in the vending machine but if you walk a block over to the corner store it’s $2.50 for one. Residents get ripped off with these prices. My unit is a studio facing the inside of the building - it feels like I’m in prison! I’m so depressed, and this studio space is so tiny I feel like it’s a prison cell. The fire alarm goes off any time you start cooking, I don’t know why they’re so sensitive but there doesn’t even need to be smoke - any kind of steam from a meal you’re cooking is enough to set it off. My cats are so traumatized by the sound at this point and I feel so bad. Leasing was on me immediately when I moved in and left something in the hallway. They called and said I was violating fire code so I moved the object into an alley nearby since they were going to charge $100+ as a cleaning and processing fee… but people have been putting their dirty, greasy hands all over the inside of the elevators touching the doors and everything and they’re doing nothing about that. I’m not kidding when it looks like someone is purposely putting dirty hands on the sides and door of the inside of the elevators and sliding their hands down. It gets cleaned and they keep doing it. It’s very immature. It’s gross and honestly embarrassing when I bring visitors here and they point it out. Some of the security is nice and really cool, the others may as well be cosplaying Officer Doofy from Scary Movie. You’ll figure out which ones have your back and which ones wish they were police but couldn’t make it - so they try to run a tight ship on the residents instead. Overall I will give flowers where they are due - the building has a lot of potential. Great amenities and one of the best gyms I have ever seen in an apartment complex. But it’s very hard to ignore the downsides like the area and overpriced fees.

  Been living here for almost 6 months now and have enjoyed it so far! Huge gym for an apartment complex and has a pool + hot tub. Also in a solid location near bus stops, restaurants, Pacific Mercantile for all Asian goods, and Max Market for any grocery or supplies you might need but don’t want to drive or order online to get. Edgar has fixed all issues in our apartment in a very quick and professional manner and has a great attitude! Really chill guy. Overall, great apartment to live in! Chris is always helpful and greets us kindly along with anyone else who’s at the front desk.
