Silver Cliff Apartment Homes

I wish I could give them zero stars. I first want to say that the office staff is one of the best that I’ve ever come across so this in no way is pointed in their direction, if you’re a part of the office staff and reading this you should work for another company because you are all amazing! I literally have never lived somewhere worse in my life. My neighbor was stealing electricity all the time because they got theirs turned off, multiple times. They ran an extension cable through their window, across a walkway and ran it across the side of the building, who does that?! Not only do people live there without paying for electricity for so long it gets turned off, but then I come home one day to a note saying they won’t be delivering mail to this location any longer. Someone attempted to break into the mailboxes and the staff didn’t want that to happen again so they stopped mail, and we had to go to the post office to pick our mail up. They have since moved the mailboxes into the office, but we’ll get to that in a minute. My husband and I moved in to the complex in June, and they said they were starting to replace all the roofing, mind you we JUST broke our lease in February, and they were still roofing. How is it possible on God’s green earth to be roofing for EIGHT months, you would think there were 30 apartment buildings in this complex, and even then that’s a stretch. My husband and I both work nights, and every single day that we’ve lived there we’ve had to hear people talking so loud outside our windows starting at 8 am. The people were so rude, just carrying on conversations right outside our window for hours, which might explain why it took so long to get anything done, more time spent talking than doing anything. Not only have they been roofing since we’ve lived there taking up parking spots with all their materials and trucks, but they’ve been updating their apartments. The maintenance department has taken up every single garage near the office, which is where our apartment was. So even though we were willing to pay money to have a garage near our apartment we couldn’t because all of them were full of old stoves, microwaves, washers and dryers. Our washer broke I believe four or five times while we lived there and it always took at least a week to get a part shipped in, we know you’re replacing it when we leave, why not just do it now?!? Last but CERTAINLY not least, my husband and I broke our lease because there was no way we would live there for one more minute after the mail situation, not being able to sleep in and the roofing that never ends. We wrote a check for breaking our lease and turned it in to the office on Saturday, on Sunday we receive a call from the office that it was broken into and someone stole our check. Why would there not be a safe that our check was put in to? They said they would pay the money to cover the stop payment on the check, but we obviously closed that account why would I want someone to have my routing and account number? They did file a police report, and I really hope they find those scumbags, go get a job like a functioning member of society instead of taking from people that have one. I feel horrible for the staff, mainly because the apartments are just in a part of town where clearly people feel the need to take things that don’t belong to them and that’s not their fault. It’s a horrible neighborhood, I would NEVER live there ESPECIALLY with a child, and I would tell anyone even thinking about living there to run in the other direction ASAP.

This is the worst place I have ever lived. My upstairs neighbor calls the law every time I watch a football game because it’s, «too loud» because these apartments are made of cardboard apparently. My truck was stolen from the carport I pay rent each month for. There is absolutely no security here. And just days ago the mailboxes were broken into and now we must go to the post office to retrieve our mail. I would definitely look anywhere else for a place to live.

This is a terrible place to live. First when I went to apply they told me go online and the apartment I expressed I wanted was «rented» out with in the two hours it took me to apply. So instead of the remodeled apartment with parking in front of it that I thought I was getting I got an old one where my son and I have to walk across a ton of ice to get to our vehicle. Microwave and oven appear to be from the 70’s and take 2 or 3 times as long to cook anything. Of course I pay the extremely high gas and electric bill caused by their poor appliances, cheap windows, poor door fitting, old furnace, and poor insulation. If it gets below 30 degrees outside I have to up the heat to 75 just to keep it warm inside.
Parking is a joke. Pay or don’t pay its a disaster. There is dog poop everywhere. The trash is all over. Seems like the residents have given up because the staff did a long time ago.
Paying rent is basically impossible. They don’t post rent to the resident portal in any timely fashion. You can’t go to the office because they are to busy smoking to help. But believe me, if you don’t pay by the 4^th (because they don’t post it) there’s a note on your door basically stating its your fault. As I type this on the 31^st I can not pay rent because of the unwillingness to do their jobs.
The only nice thing I have to say is the maintenance staff does shovel and put down ice melt each time it snows. Just wish the rest of the staff was as hard working.
Just wish we could move to somewhere people care more about the property. This lease can’t end soon enough.

I only put one star because it made me. DO NOT LIVE HERE. We had rats in our garage that chewed up $ 800 airbag backpack, a box full of hunting gear, among numerous other things. We also had our 32 ft snowmobile trailer stolen along with my husband’s work van was broken into and all of his equipment was stolen. We have had multiple vehicles towed for no reason. The parking situation is terrible. If you work later into the night, good luck finding a place to park. Guest parking is a joke, not to mention the actual apartment is dingy and dark. They are dirty and falling apart. The walls are paper thin and there were quite a few neighbors who were loud and disrespectful. Trying to get out of the parking lot in the morning to go to work is absolute hell. Add at least 15 minutes into your commute. Also, the neighboring apartment complexes would always use our pool. I never felt safe living in this complex. Don’t try and save a few bucks, look for somewhere else that is safer even if it costs more.

The only PRO I will say is the actual apartment is nice and located in a great area for me and my boyfriend to commute to work. BUT… our move in date was pushed back just two days before we were ready to move in of 2013. They told us they were replacing our carpet and yet we walked in to an apartment that was not completely clean and had dust build up along the fan and ceiling everywhere. Under the fridge was balls of hair and dust and who knows what else from never being moved in who knows how long. The parking situation was terrible, you couldn’t find a spot if you pulled up past 4pm. They have issued parking passes, which up until recently they decided to charge a yearly fee for. I have never had apartments charge me to park in their lot. Also for guests to park you must pay 5 $ a night or a yearly fee, the office told me the pass takes about 5 – 7 days to process and pick up from the office. they told me to have my guests park at the Kmart parking lot around the corner until the pass came through! So buy it in advance or apparently your guests are screwed. Oh and watch out for your cars everyone, the towing company was looking through back and side windows. When my boyfriend saw them stopped at his car he yelled and said what are you looking for. The man replied just doing my job checking for passes. My boyfriend responded by saying that the passes are all located on the front of the car, not in the back seat. They were clearly looking into cars, not sure what for but it was a very fishy company walking around with hoods up so we called the cops. The maintenance is almost impossible to get a hold of unless you walk into the office enough times to bother them. They have left a mess every time they have entered my apartment to fix a problem and there have even been instances where they had to come back for the same problem. Probably because they did a half ass job to fix it the first time. The rent has continually gone up which is another reason why i will be leaving when my lease is up. Its ridiculous trying to keep up with the rent raises here since my job isn’t increasing my wages. My rent has gone up almost 300 in two years of living here. I use the gym room and every other time it is anything but clean. There were kids leaving candy wrappers and tissue all over the floor, cobwebs on the walls, and bugs on the machines. Its not hard to have someone clean it up every night before a shift ends. The gym code was changed and I was not informed so I had to wait until the next day to ask the office. The office has SOME nice and polite staff, the rest are rude and very unprofessional. They don’t care if you have a problem or complaint, they will roll their eyes and tell you they don’t have an answer. The police are always around for shootings and disturbances. There was a shooting in our complex just several months back. I have NEVER had so many problems with an apartment complex, and i have lived in my share of apartment homes. Needless to say I WILL NOT recommend this place to anyone in the future. I have only stayed this long because I was unable to find another apartment available when my lease was ending.

This is the worst management company I have ever had to deal with. They are extremely unprofessional. The neighbors were very rude, loud, and disrespectful and would make excessive noise at all hours of the day and night. After I moved out, there was even someone who was causing a disturbance outside their apartment, when one of their neighbors asked them to stop, the person making the noise pulled a gun out on them. When the police got there, the person pulled out an assault rifle on them and a shoot out ensued. Also, the parking is an absolute nightmare. So glad I don’t live there anymore. The units themselves are nice though.

Do NOT rent here. The apartments are expensive, the management is crap, the office is run by snotty 20 somethings who have crappy attitudes, and maintenance does not do their jobs. So many ridiculous crap happened while I lived there. Let’s start with the first day: we went in to see our new apartment prior to moving in and as soon as we walked in we were hit by an intensely potent stench of cat pee. I don’t mean it smelled a little like cat pee — I mean it REEKED! I own a cat so I’m not sensitive to cat pee, and if it bothered me, you know it’s bad. Well they had the carpet cleaned, but it actually made the smell worse. They didn’t offer to do anything else about it but told us that if we could deal with it, we wouldn’t have to worry about the carpet when we moved out. Well after we moved out a year later… they kept our security deposit and charged us for cleaning the carpet!!!
Aside from that, the heating/​cooling was super expensive and the furnace was super loud. Maintenance either would never fix the things we requested or they would do a really crappy job. Example — I requested a new microwave over and over because the microwave in the unit didn’t work. They came and replaced a fuse, and after using it twice, it died again. After 8 MONTHS of living there and several requests to get a new microwave, they installed a new one — which was gigantic and barely fit into the space where the old microwave was. I could barely open the door wide enough to put food in the microwave because they installed it too close to the wall, and every time I opened it sawdust would fall out from under the microwave onto the stove top (and frequently fell right into my food).
The dishwasher which was probably about 40 years old, never worked at all. It actually made the dishes dirtier. It basically just fills with water, then drains and leaves the food all over your dishes. We told them it was totally non-​functional and they did NOTHING.
Parking is a nightmare from Hell at Silvercliff. There is NO guest parking anywhere on the property, and since Silvercliff doesn’t allow ANY guest parking, people started parking on the streets in the neighborhood. That caused the neighborhood to fight back and street parking was then banned throughout the area. So, the only place guests can park is at the Kmart a block away, and even there you will get towed if you park overnight!
Lastly, they never respond to any complaints and never do anything to address your issues unless you post a negative review, like this one. Too late, don’t bother retorting to this since I don’t live there anymore and would NEVER consider living there again. My roommate and I refer to it as Silvershit now because it was such a shitty experience.
Do not waste your money living there. Bad neighborhood, bad management, bad pricing. Don’t do it. Show them that people demand to be treated like humans and not money cows, and say no to over-​priced, low quality housing in Denver.

I have lived at Silver Cliff Apartments for almost 2 years. After the first year my rent was raised $ 175 per month and now they are telling me it will be another $ 160 per month if I want to stay. I pay my rent on time, I keep my apartment and the area outside my apartment clean (since the maintenance doesn’t clean the webs and dirt off the building or walkways, I do it myself). So I will be paying $ 335 more a month than when I moved in here less than 2 years ago. When I talk to the office about this they just tell me it is the corporate office making the adjustments because Denver is a popular place. It feels like we are just people that give them money and once they have us here they can raise it how ever much they like. If we don’t like it we can move. I am older now so it is hard for me to move. I don’t know about you but I have not gotten $ 335 a month in raises since I have been here to be able to afford the new rent.
They want to charge rents like it is one of these luxury Denver apartment buildings but the new paint they put on a few years ago is starting to look dirty and the true colors are starting to show through. I am a considerate tenant, even though there are days my apartment smells of cigarette smoke from the neighbors. They sent a maintenance guy to check out the smell but he couldn’t smell anything, maybe it was because he smelled like he just finished a cigarette himself. Walls are paper thin so you have to be a good and considerate neighbor to live here and understand that others have a life too. Be understanding and part of the community. I am good with that.
I had them check my furnace filters the same day they checked for the cigarette smoke. Maintenance reported back that the filter was fine. After hearing this I took the filter out of the furnace and took it to the office to show them that the top side was clean but the side that he couldn’t see without touching it was caked with thick dust. They promptly grabbed a new filter for me to install.
The office people are very professional and uncaring. I am thinking they are trained to be like the rest of corporate America. Stiff like robots. But I guess you have to be that way when you raise the rent all the time. Not the way I ran my properties at all.
I often hear gun shots at night and I have no idea where they are coming from. I just stay in my apartment at night. There have only been two dead bodies found in the past year within a quarter mile. I knew it wasn’t a great neighborhood when I moved in but it was all I could afford.
Bottom line: If you are going to pay these prices find a better neighborhood. Because if you move in with as much as you can afford, it won’t be enough for the coming years rents when they raise them. So make sure you are expecting to make a lot more every year so you can afford to stay a while.
Update 3÷14÷15: Cops responding to a disturbance in Silver Cliff apartment complex shot a man there sending him to the hospital.

Well, to begin… I can relate to the guy a few comments back who said they changed his move-​in date. I had already been couch-​surfing for a month because my roommate and I had such a hard time finding an affordable place. Our move-​in date was September 7. They called us on September 5 saying the apartment wouldn’t be ready until the 27. I told them how absolutely ridiculous of a difference that was and that I’d be looking elsewhere. Funny, we complained so much that they somehow magically put us in an apartment that must have dropped from Heaven. I’m sure that was at the despairing expense of some other poor soul who was also lied to. Nevertheless, we moved in to Silver Cliff Apartments (scary, evil music). Upon entering our «home sweet home,» we almost barfed. The entire apartment reeked of cigarette smoke, though it was guaranteed a «non-​smoking» apartment. To top it off, the master bathroom smelled so foully of cat urine that I ran the fan constantly for weeks, bought literally DOZENS of candles, and ran a fan. Absolutely repulsive. There were holes in a couple of our doors that were covered with brown tape that doesn’t even match the plywood that is the door. My sink has also ALWAYS clogged. I have used two bottles of Drain-​o to no avail.
Oh yeah, DON’T DRINK THE WATER! Well, after researching the effects of hard water, it actually proves to up your magnesium and calcium intake, but it tastes like DIRT. It even SMELLS like dirt. The maintenance guy said verbatim whilst fixing my broken dishwasher (surprise, surprise) that, «He wouldn’t drink that sh*t if it was the zombie apocalypse.» Classy. My favorite dishes were ruined because the water coats them with whatever white, chalky substance that is. I called the office and the guy said, «You have to use Lemiclean.» OH! You mean I get to pay MORE to live in the worst conditions I’ve ever seen? THANK YOU, SILVER CLIFF! Not only does the water taste like sewage but the buildup causes nightmare after nightmare of maintenance issues. We signed a six-​month lease and in only 4, we have had to have carpet cleaners and plumbers frequently in and out. Come to think of it, on move-​in day they were servicing the apartment above us for flooding. We’ve had to have hoses strewn through our house and out the door (which is difficult with two dogs) to a van that ran on machines louder than construction bulldozers. Oh yeah, then we had to have 4 high-​powered industrial fans run ²⁴⁄₇ in our apartment to dry the carpets for 4 days (we paid the extra bills for that. And couldn’t sleep).
The walls are paper thin. We joke about how our upstairs neighbors must be break dancers because whenever they’re home it sounds like they’re jumping around and stomping their feet. Did I mention the frequent visits from police officers? We have seen 2 – 3 squad cars flashing blue and red outside our window on 5 separate occasions. They even knocked on our door at 2:30 am to ask us if we heard «any commotion» upstairs that night. REALLY?! This is our HOME!!!
Oh I almost forgot, our heater didn’t work and the pilot light would «click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click» throughout the night and day. It got fixed (sort of), but now it started doing it again.
Parking… where do I begin? I second a previous comment in saying there is never parking after 4. Ever. Don’t ever invite guests over because they’ll have to park at K-​mart. Hell, WE have to park at K-​mart. There are garages for purchase but they’re not worth it. As for the spaces that are within the complex, they aren’t even big enough for compact cars! I’m not exaggerating. I can post pictures and attach a link to this if you’d like proof, but this complex put 10 parking spaces within an area appropriate for 6. I have had my doors dinged because it’s literally impossible to get OUT of your car once you squeeze in. It reminds me of the scene from Austin Powers when he’s trying to turn the cart around in that narrow hallway. But seriously, absolutely embarrassingly constructed place. If you gave me $ 100 I could build a higher quality apartment complex. Thumbs down.
Would I ever live in another Weidner-​owned place? Well I’ll tell you what… I will if you make your parking spaces WIDENER. Not.

Good, clean apartments. The cheapest we’ve been able to find at this level of quality in Denver. Office staff is very helpful (ask for Jen, she was extremely helpful). Maintenance personnel are very courteous and fix problems fairly quickly. There is a nice dog park/​green area, and the back of the property borders a really nice walking/​biking/​running trail. Garages and carports are available for an extra cost. Pets are allowed for an extra cost (they do have breed restrictions on dogs). The bathtubs and walk-​in closets are huge. The balconies are very nice. Management has been responsive and I’ve seen a steady improvement in the apartments in the time I’ve lived here (fitness room has been outfitted with more equipment, pool furniture has been replaced with newer stuff, parking lot has been repainted).
Would have been a 5-​star review except that the parking spots are narrow and there are a few other minor complaints about everyday life.

Impersonal and shabby in general. The monthly cost seems reasonable at first but they tack on renters ins. And foes up from there if you have pets or garage etc. Def not worth it.

Silver Cliff Apartments is now under new management. The team is very customer service oriented and will make your stay a very happy one.
