The Savoy At Dayton Station Apartments

Kitchen floor felt soft in spots and we were told they would have to replace the entire kitchen floor, so to live with it. When it rained, moisture came down into the walls and left water marks. Carpet is builder grade and stains easily, and the garage door lets in so much cold air that the apartment is freezing cold! Not enough parking (we did have a garage), and work out room is always over flowing with people. Bathroom tile pulled up in one corner, and toilet had a leak at one point. Took them 3 weeks to fix it, as they said we had another bathroom and it was not a top priority.

Have lived here for 3 months moved from Nevada and love it !!! The staff is outstanding and so are the grounds. The location of this property is so convenient, Walmart right down the street and places to eat all around not to mention the light rail is right around the corner. The onsite gym is pretty nice also lots of equipment. I will be renewing my lease !!!

This is hands down one of the best apartment complexes and management team I’ve ever dealt with for a number of reasons:
1. Management/​Maintenance is ALWAYS friendly and helpful whether it be for a service order or picking up a package.
2. GREAT location. Walking distance to a beautiful bike trail, dog park and Light Rail Station.
3.The community. I’ve met great people here and (most) of my neighbors are friendly! It’s a small community where (if you want to) you can make some awesome friends.
4. The gym is perfect! Equipment all works and the gym is rarely ever packed. A great array of equipment/​free weights/​machines.
5. The apartments are spacious and quite affordable (for the area). I moved from Texas and found these to be the best «bang for your buck».
6. Did I say the apartments are spacious?! I had AMPLE room to store things.
7. Great amenities, washer/​dryer in unit/​decent upgrades/​WONDERFUL soaking tub!
I could go on and on about the girls in the office, the maintenance men and the community. I signed a lease on The Savoy from Texas with having never looked at the complex. I haven’t been disappointed in the least! I definitely recommend checking this apartment out if you are in the market!
**Ask for Kari-​She helped me sign my lease and was wonderful!**
I’m sadly moving out this weekend due to a job location change. If I ever move back to this area, I will definitely move into The Savoy again!
I will update my review once my move-​out process is complete but I’m not anticipating any issues. :)

My experience at the Savoy was amazing!
1. The pool and hot tub were rarely used, so it was always clean and ready for a dip.
2. The maintenance staff was amazing and was always quick to fix problems. Which their were very few in the year I lived at the Savoy. I think I called once for a vent cover and once for water not draining from the washer– basic living problems.
3. The proximity to everything was great. Getting to downtown was a 20 minute train ride and it help make sure I got home from a fun night. Walmart is a block away too!
4. You only have to walk 3 – 5 minutes to get to a great park and trail! The Cherry Creek reservoir has mountain biking trails, frisby golf course, play ground and running trail. All under 5 mins walking!
5. Office staff were great! Their was no package waiting in the office for a week before notifying me. Their was always someone available to answer a quick question and they ALWAYS smile and wave when their out on the grounds! I wish my apartment did that now!
If your thinking of leasing at the Savoy, I give it an A+! If you need any tips, recommendations of the area or to ask a quick question; shoot me an email! And no, I so not work for the Savoy; I just loved living there!

This place is a joke when it comes to fees. When I first moved in, the property management was friendly; as soon as I put in noticed that I would not renew my lease (which was going from $ 790 to $ 950), all bets were off in there end. They have a «service» that would let you know what you may be charged so I could take care of it myself if I wanted… They never came even after I asked about for it. Needless to say I didn’t get my deposit back because they stated that they needed to replace a drip pan and cleaning charges. If you want my $ 150 so badly, keep it. I was charged an additional $ 4 on top of my deposit, which I paid.
I just now received a statement for $ 85.00 they’re stating is past due. First of all, I made sure my account was in order before I handed over my keys and was told all looked to be fine. Other than the cleaning statement, I never received another statement.
If you want to deal with crooks, then this is definitely the place for you! If you want a small apartment that sucks up energy, this is definitely the place to go! If you want hardly any cell phone coverage, step right up. If you want to hear everything your neighbors do because their garages are right next to your bedroom and living room, have I got a place for you!

This is my second time living at The Savoy. I lived here a couple years ago and now once again. I had no intention of coming back, simply because I was looking at a different location in the Denver area. I looked all along I-​25 from Westminster to Lone Tree and right now the renters market is booming and prices for apts are sky high everywhere, except in the more ‘not so nice’ areas to live.
After all the searching and viewing I decided to go see The Savoy. They had a good special and the one bedroom was big enough for my sectional (huge isues finding a large 1bdrom) and a bedroom big enough for my king size bed with night stands. Price per sq ft was unbeatable, with washer/​dryer inside and open space I decided it made sense to move back.
I see some negative reviews on here and they seem to be pretty typical ie neighbors, dogs etc. In the end an apt complex can’t control the idiot tenants, so I understand. I have a neighbor I am definitely not a fan of but I live in an apartment so that comes with the territory. It is right next to all the places someone would want such as Walmart, King Soopers, Pubs, Restaurants, dog park and of course the lightrail. But it is far away enough from all these things that it is very quiet with no highway noise, car horns etc so it’s peaceful. Don’t let the Aurora address scare you either, it is DTC for all intents and purposes without any of the cost.
The maintenance guys are helpful and quick and the staff as in almost every review good/​bad get the highest of marks in my opinion so I recommend checking it out before you pay $ 1200+ for a one bedroom nearby. I would have not moved back here if I had a bad experience. For the money, location and the people in the office I definitely say come check it out if you are looking in the area!

My husband, four children and myself just moved from here after living at the Savoy for a year. We had an interesting experience at the Savoy, partly because we have a somewhat large family. Living in an apartment with 4 children is difficult.
I thought the staff was nice enough, and Josiah in maintenance is great to work with. But some aren’t so nice. The first week we were there, I was having trouble with my dryer. It would take three cycles for anything to dry. I was told I didn’t know how to do laundry. They cleaned out the filters and the hose, but apparently, the hose to vent outside is too long and the dryer never worked properly.
There isn’t a place for children to play; no playgrounds near by and you risk stepping in dog poop if you go near the grass.
The gym was nice, if you could find a cardio machine that worked. Most of them squeaked, or just didn’t work at all.
As we prepared to move (our rent increase after one year was about $ 145 per month to sign another year lease, or an increase of $ 340 per month to stay month to month) things got weird. The staff wasn’t as kind, maintenance was slow to respond to questions, and even though we’d made every payment on time, and gave proper notice of our intent to move, we were bled for every possible penny and had to pay an exorbitant amount for repairs to the apartment that I had kept clean and in good repair.
Stay away from The Savoy, unless you’re prepared for price gouging, a dirty community, and poorly maintained facilities.

To me, this is inline with my feedback. I wrote two reviews of Equity properties on the same day and received comment on both from Equity. Take a look — even their comments to this site appear to be «canned» responses, just enough to give an impression that they’re responsive. And the responses ask for action that is not possible since I am no longer a resident.

I have been lived at The Savoy for 2 years and I enjoying my stay. savoy is clean, quiet, and safe environment.
The apartment was built in the 1999 so it’s not too old.
savoy has an advantages and disadvantages.
I will start with good thing first.
Staff at savoy are not bad. They are helpful and friendly, savoy has 2 swimming pools and 2 hut tops. It has also a clean gym, there is a play area for dogs. Savoy is good place for living, especially for those who don’t have a car or like to walking. Because of its close from places that we need such as supermarkets, barber, hairdressing salon and light rile.
Savoy has some things not good
They raise the rent annually
They don’t have a printers in the leasing office
No meeting room
No playground for children
In the end I recommend it. it is a good pleas to live

So here is the update: When the maintenance team came to fix the dryer we showed him the stains from the washer. He fixed the dryer and seems like it is working fine now. Replaced the washer to a brand new one the next day. I have given 3 star for their great maintenance team.
Everything is fixed for now. Hopefully it stays that way.

The Savoy at Dayton Station is an unusually enjoyable apartment complex. I have lived in 13 different cities (in three different countries) and moved in and out of many apartments. This complex is at the top of my list.
First, few apartments have such appointment: my apartment had a huge kitchen with granite counters an island and was open to the living room — it’s how you’d build a home today (except their cabinets are white).
Full-​sized front loading laundry equipment, track lighting, great bathroom with huge tub and large vanity with a granite slab counter, nicely size bedroom with fantastic closet space. Plus, outside you will find tons of parking, garages, pools and good new fitness equipment in a pleasing fitness center. Truly this place has the nicest appointments of any apartment I have ever rented.
Dayton Station is a five minute walk so getting downtown is simple, Walmart is a five minute walk, Wholefoods, Target, I25 and I225 are five minute drives.
And to top it off — management is excellent. I had a problem with people below me and the management got them out in two months.
I will let you know how the move out goes next month.
5 August 2013
I got my full deposit back! Mike (head of maintenance) did my walk thru and noted that I would get the full deposit back. BTW, he had done a pre-​walk thru and suggested that I touch up the wall and trim paint and even showed me where. of course, I did! This is a wonderful apartment complex!

The apartment community is just that, a shared common space with people who may or may not have the same level of respect that you do for your living areas. The office staff NEVER answers the phone when you called. One time when we called over fifteen times we went in as we were calling and the office staff were all on their cell phones avoiding the phone. Our car got broken in to at one point and the property took over four days to call us back. Maintenance was ok, the maintenance supervisor was the best that we had at this property, the staff could use some customer service experience.
After we had such terrible experience after moving in to a filthy NEW construction apartment, they raised the rent $ 100. We lived in Aurora and although not all of Aurora is bad– this community was less than safe. Party buses out side late hours and the gym equipment was always broken! we would put in a service request and the property management team would complain!
Our rent for a 2×2 about 1100 SF rent up to 1575 a month. We found a house that was renovated, brand new windows, roof, flooring, plumbing, electrical, granite counter tops and new cabinets in the kitchen and we pay 1300. What a joke!
We did end up getting all of our deposit back as we should– we left the apartment in better shape than what they gave it to us in! Did I mention the entire apartments were painted in a flat paint to «save on the building budget»? What a joke! The bathroom and kitchen always needed touching up– which they will no longer give to you! so your towel hook in the bathroom will drip from your wet arm every time you shower… ridiculous!
I really do not advise living here for the high rates! Go down to I25 and Hampden and rent at the new apartments with the lazy river pool!
I notice the property managers name shows up as Jenifer but pretends to be the property manager Leticia. strange! And the replies are so impersonal– read the reviews and actually reply with something more than a template!

**Preface: I do not know why my reviews are being filtered, as I was in fact a tenant with the Savoy apartments, and the experience below is the truth.**
I lived at the Savoy for 2−½ years. We were good tenants, paid every month with no issue. My wife and I were building a home the last 9 months, and the house construction went over schedule by three months. We subsequently went on a month-​to-​month payment schedule, and our rent jumped 60% due to their price gouging. As a good tenant I felt taken advantage of, given our predicament, and thought Savoy handled this issue with zero regard to customer satisfaction.
After moving out, they charged us $ 2000 for carpet damage. We didn’t have pets, took our shoes off at the door, no kids. There wasn’t any carpet damage, but I would assume they apparently make a racket charging people for new carpet, as they leave. My wife and I confronted the manager about these charges. We spent over two hours in their leasing office while they searched for the photos of the carpet.
The walls aren’t sound insulated at all; you will hear every step and bass kick of your neighbor.
Lots of seedy door to door scam-​type solitication. It is adjacent to a high volume Wal-​Mart, across Hampden from a seedy strip club and low income housing. I never did feel safe at this place.
I do not recommend these apartments. There are much better places to live in the Denver area, with much better service to the customer.

Many of the reviews that you will read comment on how friendly the staff in the leasing office. I thought the same. And they were great, in the very beginning. But once you have signed that lease… Best of luck to you. They have a 30 day trial period, and if you are still in it, I would advise you take advantage of it. Moving is a pain, but living at the Savoy is worse.
We had a unit in the older section of the property. I’m pretty sure the plan is to let them rot from the inside out, and the raze the whole section. The buildings really do look nice from the outside– fresh coats of paint do a lot for a place, but once you get inside, the quality is not what you would expect for what you spend to live there.
Our unit was on the second floor, and we really did live in a community. We got to hear every dog bark, footstomp, closing door, shower, dishwasher cycle, and jet engine (aka the garbage disposal) that happened between the three floors. We also got to smell whatever the neighbors were cooking, and partake in the second-​hand smoke of everyone nearby. None of the doors closed well, and since we shared ventilation ducts, our house smelled of smoke, and if we left laundry in the laundry room, we smelled like smoke too. After asking the office to do something, they informed us that we could move to the new buildings. And pay an upgrade fee, utility transfers and more in rent each month. Colorado law says that common areas must be safe and smoke free, but apparently the Savoy exists outside of Colorado. We would have been happy with a carbon air scrubber.
Everything inside the place is cheap. The dishwasher is so loud you can’t talk when it’s on, and the garbage disposal was so loud I honestly thought someone was crashing a plane into the kitchen. It was hard to exaggerate. Doors and cabinets aren’t hung at 90° angles and the plastic laminate peels off the cabinets all by itself. In our floorplan, we were over the garage of the person below us, and I don’t think there was any insulation at all. We checked the temp in that room one night in December, and it was 38°.
I get that properties age and renters can be hard on a place, but what really was vexing was how the office would respond. If they every called back or answered emails, it was generally to imply that you were crazy for wanting something done, or to tell you «there is nothing we can do.» No rent credits, concessions or even apologies. The office staff is powerless to help you, and incapable of following through with the few thing they agree to do.
Parking can get pretty tight, but it’s livable. The location is really what this place has going for you. Oh, and if you live in the older units, you don’t get to access the fancy new amenities built for the new buildings. Go live at AMLI Inverness or the Presidio. They have their issues, but at least they care enough to pretend to try and fix things.

I live this place 4years.
Property is not bad but leasing office employee is terrible .
I don’t recommend this place.
Look for other good place.
Seriously looking for other one.
Good luck

I love love love this apartment and its employees! I have lived here going on 2.5 yrs. I’m sadden I will be moving in May to live in California. This place is convenient to everything! Shopping, major freeways, dog park, light rail, and GREAT SCHOOL DISTRICT! To me this is very important since I have a son. This is a Cherry Creek Schools! What I have loved most is that the office staff here really care about their residents. My son from time to time will forget his house key and he can just go in and ask for help and they give him a key to the apartment to let him in. If my son misplaces his cell phone, the office lets him use their line to call me to let me know he’s home safe! They have gone above and beyond! I don’t know any complex that would be this accommodating! When ever I have made repair request, they either come right away, or by the following day! The rent is a little high for a single parent mother but its worth every cent. I will say the walls are thin. I hear everything from my upstairs neighbors including their kid crying, or running around, or even them vacuuming at odd hours in the morning. But regardless, if i were ever to move back to Colorado and wanted to rent. I would return.

I lived at The Savoy for 3 years and I honestly enjoyed my stay. I was pursuing graduate studies in Colorado and needed a clean, quiet, and safe environment. Savoy fits the bill.
The apartment was built in the early 2000s so it’s not too old which is a plus. It had washer/​dryer in unit and central heat and AC. It’s near a lightrail station, probably a 7 minute walk depending on how long your legs/​strides. The office staff were courteous. They were great with packages and quick to put in any service requests I had. The maintenance crew were awesome. Everything was always fixed the day of or the next day.
During the winter, the snow was always quickly removed. They were on top of it actually. If the snow is heavy the service crew were out there several times a day clearing the path for the residents.
Once my AC went out and it was 87 degrees and 7PM in the evening. The inside of my apartment was way too hot for comfort. I called the Emergency/​On-​Call service line and someone came over after hours to try to fix it. He wasn’t able to fix it right then but the AC unit was fixed the next day. I did not suffer in the heat for too long.
The comfort of your stay will depend on your neighbors. The first 2 years I did not have any issues with the neighbors above me but once they moved the new Indian family that followed were very rude, loud and obnoxious. The lady upstairs loved to pound chicken breasts with metal objects. The pounding got so bad I knocked on their door and asked WTH they were doing and to stop. I dont care if you want to eat chickens… just find another way to make your food. My unit was literally shaking from them beating an already dead chicken. They also loved to throw soccer parties that will last past 2AM. A lot of screaming and yelling… I have called the cops, complained to the office, etc. The office did follow up on my complaints and sent numerous letters and made calls to the a-​holes above me to stop the noise. I appreciate the fact that the Savoy staff were on top of things and cared that my rights to quiet use and enjoyment of my apartment were violated.
Another awesome thing about The Savoy is that they allow pets. They also provide bag stations all over for residents to use. For the most part people were good about picking up after their pets.
Now that I am back in Southern California, it’s hard to find something similar to The Savoy at an affordable price. It’s just so much more expensive to live in LA than it is in Denver. So I definitely appreciate the fact that I had The Savoy to stay at while living in Colorado.
I took out one star because their rental rate changes everyday. The first day I came to visit and inquire about the property, the price was 700/​month 1 year lease for the unit I was looking at. I came the next day to sign the papers, the rental rate went up to 725/​month for the 1 year lease. Had I signed the day before I would have saved $ 300. Also keep note, they will send a separate bill every month for Trash/​Water/​Sewer/​Admin fee. So none of these things are included in your rent and the Admin fee is kinda bogus imo. It’s like, «Why are you billing me for your efforts to bill me?!» Also, Your rent will most likely increase every year. Mine did.
Finally, when I moved out I got my entire deposit back. Take care of the apartment, keep it clean like I did and they will take care of you.

we moved in a few months ago and we love it here. The area is great and gives you so many things to do. The office staff is great and is always there to help. I plan to stay here for a few years.

We have lived here for two years, and are happy with our time here.
Maintenance requests were always completed in a reasonable time frame, they gave us notice when they were going to check our water heater, and they kept the property clean and well-​maintained. The apartment is nice, if a little small, but everything was in good shape and clean when we moved in.
Really the only complaint we had was with the neighbors. They had no respect for anyone, and left trash out in the front walk every night. I did file a complaint, and the management followed through. There is no control over parking, so people park wherever they want including in places you would normally get a ticket. I think the police should do regular sweeps to ticket those who are blocking handicapped ramps or parked backwards.
The people here also are pretty irresponsible with their dogs. The management has plenty of poop bags and garbage cans everywhere for owners’ use, but people just leave it on the ground for others to step on. There’s really no culture to respect others’ property or space.

We lived at the savoy a couple years ago for almost a year. We really liked our place and were sad to move out. There were a lot of good things and some bad things.
Mostly we loved living on the townhome side, La Salle with a garage and a spacious two bedroom, two bathroom. The prices aren’t cheap but the apartments are nice enough to where it was almost worth it. Plus the more you spend each month on rent, the more «equity points» you save, which can help you with a down-​payment up to 3% of the purchase price of a KBHome when u leave. Mostly what bothered us was that we lived right by a poop station, which was practically right outside our door, and residents would just leave their poop bags at the base of the station. Rather annoying. I find it ironic that the previous review said Andrea was the exception to the leasing office’s poor ethics because she is pretty much the sole reason I won’t move back. She was always in our business when we were talking to other leasing office personnel, and we thought she was just plain rude.
The walls are pretty thin so you can hear noisy neighbors and people hit bunnies from time to time, which is not a pleasant sight.
Overall, though it’s a nice place to live and the hot cocoa in the leasing office is pretty scrumptious on a cold winter day.
