Westlink at Oak Station Apartments

UPDATE: parking is also a huge pain in the rear, one spot per apartment and no guest parking– not so fun.

My husband and I moved in on ⁹⁄₄ and to date, we have been very pleased. The apartments seem to be well constructed and the materials they used seem to be decent quality. We don’t have neighbors above us yet, so we will find out soon how well constructed the building actually is. However, we’ve talked to the people who live below us and they say they rarely hear us walking around or our tv, which has to be turned up quite loud due to a VERY loud a/​c unit. We have found the leasing office staff to be very responsive and Casey was very helpful with the entire leasing process.
We were very aware when we first looked at the property and decided to lease an apt that there would likely be noise from construction — the complex is still under construction. Knowing this, we made a conscious decision to still decide to move here. We felt the apt, location, and price was a sacrifice worth making and it’s not really a sacrifice. We don’t regret it. Sure, the construction noise starts around 715am and continues until about 5pm, but again, we anticipated this and it is what it is. The construction doesn’t really bother us.
My husband and I have lived in several apts across the Denver metro area and this is one of our favorites. We had been living in the Golden Triangle and LoHi area, so that is the only «drawback» we can see as far as the apt itself. We are used to opening our front door and being able to walk everywhere or have everything right there. That said, the drive to downtown is not very far, and we have light rail a couple blocks away, so access to downtown is easy.
There was 1 issue we (and several other residents) had upon move in, which was not having access to our mailbox. No keys were available and we were told upon move in that we would get our keys after Labor Day; then it was a few days more, then we were told it would be a couple of weeks. After some complaining and a call to the post ofc, the keys finally came, but being 4+ wks without mail (we started forwarding our mail about 1 wk before we moved in), made it difficult to pay bills for which we had no idea when they were due or whom to contact (medical bills). Also, I was getting emails confirming package deliveries, but the leasing ofc was stating they didn’t have any pkgs, so I was not too happy about that. However, the keys came and during this time while we were waiting for keys, the leasing ofc assured us they were working on the issue and trying to get everyone their keys. They also helped ease our frustration by keeping an eye out for certain mail we were expecting and calling us when we had mail – all of which they didn’t have to do and to me, was above and beyond the call of duty. They continued to work on this issue and we finally got our keys. Issue resolved.
Overall, we are happy with our decision, and this complex, so far, has lived up to our expectations. We have high expectations due to the cost of rent in Denver, and we are happy and don’t regret leaving downtown Denver. The leasing ofc has done a fabulous job with all the construction issues and to me, have been patient, friendly, and responsive. The apts seem to be well built and I finally feel like we are getting what we pay for. This, combined with a good leasing staff, has made our decision to move here a sound decision.

In general the apartment complex is what you expect from community living. The reason I write this is due to the general incompetence of the office staff.
I understand, the complex is under construction and that things may take longer than normal. The issue is that the staff makes promises they cannot possibly keep. I was promised a garage, and it was not ready and is still not ready months after moving in. Additionally there are many tenants who have been promised specific apartments and/​or other garages that are still not ready at the time of this writing.
Secondly, and this is not the complex’s fault, but I’m sure they could try harder: the addresses inside the complex are not correct or up to date with the city and online stores.
Like I started the review, the complex is not bad, and is generally a decent place to live. My only complaints are that the staff are just not concerned with the needs of the tenants. There is a lot more that they could do to make the place more welcoming, but instead the main office feels like a used car dealership.

If you never ever want to sleep past 7:15am ever again, West Link is the place for you! On any given day of the week, you can wake up to the sweetest sounds, ranging from relentless jackhammer to completely pointless leaf blower to what-​the-​hell-​is-​this-​guy-​doing-​on-​a-​Saturday-​morning street sweeper. Each and every unique scenario is magical and could absolutely be done at any other time of the effing day, but here at west link we really want to make sure you start your day pissed off. (P.S. I don’t see anyone working on the pool that was supposed to be completed six weeks ago! The street sweeping at 7:20 on a Saturday morning is definitely more important!)
(I have videos, if you need proof!)

I just leased an apartment from West Link at Oak Station. The process was very easy, one of the quickest and easiest leases I have ever signed. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! I worked with Casey and she was great. The apartments are really nice, lots of different floor plans, very modern. This complex is a great use for land that had an abandoned Target on it and was left undeveloped for years. I hear they have additional plans in the works for the area! With Denver’s rent crises, this is certainly a place to check out. They are still being built but the first phases are about to open and it is worth the wait!
