The Grove was not necessarily a bad place to live. My frustration lies mainly with the management and condition of aspects of the apartment. Management was completely unorganized. Every time I called to ask a question or confirm something I received different answers to the same questions. This caused a lot of confusion and issues for me and for my roommates. I would call to leave messages and never received a response back. Emails would go unanswered, even emails regarding crime and safety in the area. I put work orders in and never had maintenance come and fix things. The air ducts created so much dust in the apartment that you had to wipe off counter tops every couple days to stop it from collecting too much. Gross, but I would blow my nose and clumps of dust would be it because I was breathing in so much dust. There was damages to the furniture in the apartment. The apartment also was not clean when we moved into it. The water pressure was horrible, and the hot water didn’t last more than 10 minutes on a low heat. Carpets were ripped up in places. The washer and dryer barely worked, and I’d have to wash clothes TWICE in tiny loads for things to come out clean. My toilet worked maybe 70% of the time, and even then it was so weak that I’d have to plunge it with just toilet paper in it. I called and complained multiple times and received promises of maintenance coming and they never did. I (despite it all) renewed my lease because I couldn’t afford another apartment, and was told two different renewal prices for the renovated apartment. Ultimately, management and staff is extremely unorganized and it caused issues all over the apartment. I hope that they get it figured out because it’s close to campus, and ultimately more affordable than other housing options in the area.

I was sent many emails about how it was a drive up move in where you could quickly and easily get your keys. I was prepared for that experience and arriving to a huge line disrupted that. I waited for nearly an hour and a half and sunburned in the hot sun because I wasn't prepared to wait outside. Even when I got to the front of the line, the keys were so poorly organized I had to leave them with my ID and sit on the curb while they found my keys. Also upon arriving, despite paying more for the renovated unit, it has extensive damage as well as no ceiling fans. Part of my reasoning in choosing to live here was the nice amenities. When we toured, they showed us a very luxurious gym and it helped convince me this was the place. However, said nice gym is now under renovation and I have no clue if I will even get to use it prior to my lease ending. Overall, this is not what I expected and what was marketed to me, and that has been very disappointing.

While the apartment complex staff is extremely kind and puts on super cool events I’m still frustrated with my roommate situation. I was originally supposed to live with clean roommates like myself as I had put in my lease that I was a clean person. About a month before move in I get an email saying I’m being moved into a new apartment with different people. I originally had an issue because I had built a relationship with the original people I was going to room with but eventually got over it. That is until I moved into my apartment where I live with two girls who barely clean up after themselves. Why put in the option of putting your preferences if you won’t follow them? Clean people do not want to live with dirty people. Studious people don’t want to live with party animals I would say that’s common sense. The unfortunate thing is there is NO option to switch rooms. Very dissapointing. Update: they’re scamming me for an extra $30 when I already paid their move out dues. Do NOT move here there’s no reason I owe the network any money.

I love that I got my own bathroom, walk in closet, and free parking:). It was affordable until they raised their prices. The grove also promised me a renovated unit for $759, and that I would be able to move in august 1st, so I would resign. The grove then told me I had to pay more money for a renovated unit. I had someone take over my lease for the summer, and then the grove just let them take over my entire lease for the whole year. They said I signed for that, but I just signed for someone to stay there June 1st-July 31st 2023. I called them and told them and they told me there were no dates on that lease, but I was looking at it right in front of me. After that the grove hid my paperwork online somehow, so I couldn’t see it. I think the property was great, but the management was not fantastic

Really a fantastic place to live. Apartments are spacious, maintenance is fast for emergencies, having a washer and dryer in-unit is fantastic, and the pet policy is great. Super close to campus and the bus to Old Town. I really couldn't be happier for the price.

Move in/getting keys was kind of a mess, no one followed the drive up directions but that’s not really completely on the apartments side of fault but I only received a door key at first and had to go back to get my room key and was given a whole bunch of keys with no explanation to what each one was for. Also I was not aware that the clubhouse would be closed when I moved in and we were promised a lot more at move in that what was given to us but so far living here has gone smoothly.

I have lived at the Grove now for about a year and have loved my experience here so far. The management have been great and the maintenance team have been quick to fix any issues that I have had with the units. Also with the location and easy access to the CSU buses I would recommend the Grove to everyone!

It was a nice place to live. Only thing I did not like was that neighbors were very noisy, yelling, shouting, throwing parties. But the apartment was good and the price was great to have your own bedroom and bathroom. It’s close to campus 20 min walk but the bus stop is just a 5 min walk and it takes you directly to school.
