FIVE50

Lived here for 25 months and two words come to mind when thinking of the place: Water Damage. I would not normally be inclined to give such a negative review, but as the company website is advertizing this place as "luxury" I feel a duty to. The boiler blew a bunch of valves in 2022 spring, raining dark water through the drywall walls and ceilings. The answer at the time was to paint over the discoloration, and the building was sold to the current ownership group in the next few months. This building is old, with next to no amenities, would even go months on end with 1 or 2 functioning washers as it took 11 months to replace the faulty old ones (after the basement was flooded for the ~4th time). Both companies that owned the building while I was there clearly do not care at all for the product they sell or making it better, they just want to charge the maximum the market can bear while investing as little as possible. I will never rent from this company or the prior owner again, these are the people that make even the lowest common denominator apartments so expensive in cities. I could go on, but you have been warned!

I had major issues with my apartment last year, and the technicians weren't the most helpful UNTIL, Justin was hired as the lead. He and his team have been beyond helpful with any issues I've had since due to my bad issues last year. Him and his team are very professional, kind, and work quickly to get it fixed.

Redpeak is a terrible management company. Redpeak does superficial changes and does not update actual problems. There is a mold problem and water damage in this building which was never addressed and just covered up with drywall and paint. Anytime a problem occurs they claim theyre not liable for anything and send a generic email disregarding the concerns of residents. Maintenance is slow and inefficient. Ive had water leak issues for months and instead of fixing the problem, they just canceled my work order and did literally nothing. At least 2 of the washers and dryers are not working at any given time and have been broken for months. Multiple work orders by multiple residents have been put in and nothing has been fixed, but they put some pillows out on the lobby couch this week and apparently that makes up for all the broken features and crumbling structure of the building. They then have the audacity to raise my rent when they cant even make simple repairs and changes. This company is just another of many that is ruining Denver by buying apartment buildings, making superficial changes and then jacking the rent way up so theres not affordable housing in Denver.

We moved into Five 50 based on the photos from the website. When we got to the apartment, it was not at all ready for move in. It was dirty. The bathroom cabinet looked as if the previous tenant let their dog use it as a chew toy, and there was a ton of wear and tear throughout the apartment. The laundry room was absolutely disgusting. We let them know within an hour of arriving that we would be moving elsewhere. They told us they would return our first month's rent within 2 weeks. It has now been a month, and they are dodging calls and emails with no update on our money.

We moved to 550 site unseen and when we arrived the unit was not ready for someone to move in ie. Bathroom cabinet very badly damaged, excessive wear and tear on storage cabinet doors. We notified them within an hour that we would not be occupying the unit and would not be transferring to another RedPeak property (which was offered). It was agreed upon that our first month's rent would be sent back to us via check within two weeks. It's now been a month and every time we call or email RedPeak to get a tracking number they ignore and never return correspondence. I would highly recommend any other company over RedPeak. Save yourself the headache.
