Poor

Live here if you like sub-par amenities, unfriendly low income residents, unsupervised teenagers partying and groping one another in the lounge/rooftop, rotting food in the stairwells, and constant construction noise. OVERPRICED -- Vivo/Aimco will nickel and dime you for EVERYTHING: $500/month to use an empty parking garage; $100/month for electric shades (because the default tan linen shades block no light). Don't pay for the LuxerOne - Amazon/UPS/FedEx/USPS never actually use it; they will just throw your packages on the floor of the mailroom. Don't believe the other reviews on here - the building coerces people into filling them out to enter a "prize giveaway" that is never actually distributed -- these are FALSE REVIEWS. The building is soulless with no community. AVOID!!

Property Manager at Vivo Apartments, Responded To This Review

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience at Vivo. We appreciate the feedback you have provided. We are sorry to hear your experiences with us have not matched your expectations. For residents and "unsupervided teenagers" not following our Good Neighbor Commitment we will need names or apartment numbers so problems can be addressed and resolved. Outside construction noise is out of our control but will usually end by 4:00 each week day. Our standard garage spaces are $335.00 per car, not $500.00.In Vivo's lease agreement all additional charges or fees are provided. We understand that allocated monthly expenses may vary for everyone. As such, we are extremely mindful to disclose all charges and fees with customers prior to signing a lease agreement. Our sweepstakes give away happens monthly and as one of the moderators I assure you a monthly prize is distributed. Please remember this is for all AIR communities .We would like to address your concerns and frustrations with you directly. Please email us at ICanHelp@aircommunities.com with your contact information. We look forward to hearing from you. -Susan

Beware of units on 2nd floor

I am a current tenant on the 2nd floor. I have been complaining to management for nearly a year about constant noise issues from the Orange Theory Fitness studio on the ground level. I am woken up daily at 6AM to loud music, thumping bass, and yelling fitness instructors on microphones. This continues until 8PM every day. Nothing has changed after countless emails, phone calls, and in person meetings. The owner of the franchise clearly has no respect for the neighbors who live in the building, and building management will not fine them for noise violations. So the problem continues. If you are considering an apartment on the 2nd floor, beware.
