Apartment Review for Fox Meadows - Fort Collins, CO

I have lived here for about a year and a half, and my overall experience has been miserable. I think the quality of the apartments is pretty good, but definately not worth the outrageous price. When I first moved in, the property was very quiet. About 6 months later, a ton of college kids began to move in. The area became filled with loud music, loud cars, screaming people, and beer bottles. The management did an ok job in trying to fix the issue, but it still remains a problem. In addition to the college neighbors, the property is filled with old people who sit at home all day and snoop. The neighbors complain about everything! The lease is written so broadly that you can be evicted for almost anything that annoys your neighbors including smoking on your porch (which is not prohibited by the lease or city municipal code), any sort of noise (including having your tv too loud), and odors (including barbequing on your porch). The walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything your neighbors do...yes, everything. If you are unlucky enough to live on the first floor, you can hear every step. If the person above you has a dog, it sounds like a heard of elephants is running around upstairs. In addition, if you have an issue with the management, no one from the management company will respond to your complaints. The deposits are outrageous, and they try in every conceivable way to rip you off. The management office has two women, both of which are incompetent. The property manager is never around. She is either on her lunch break, riding her motorcycle in the parking lot, or burning tires out in the parking lot with her friends' cars. In addition, there is never any parking. The doors on my car have been dented several times by rude neighbors parking too close. There are parking permits available, but they are never enforced. I would not move in here if you have other options. The management and neighbors have made my stay here unbearable!
