The Outpost Fort Collins, fort-collins-co

Do not rent here, they suck you in to get a good deal to renew. Then a month before renewal is due they give all other roommates 250 off their rent to renew. If you try to do the right thing and renew when they ask they charge you more. Dont waste your time renewing 6 months in advance. Lastly, watch your rent payments. They can't get the billing right, no balance when you have to pay, if you pay on-time then they say you never paid. Tired of it!

The outpost is wonderful! My housing situation was horrible before this place, and in comparison i have little to no complaints. Maintenance is always quick and on top of issues, it never takes more than a few days to get something fixed or changed; typically 1-2 days. Roommate selection process was great too, I didn’t know my roommates but were super close now. My kitty also loves it here, pet fee is pretty standard at 35 a month. The leasing team is also fantastic, I have to switch to a cheaper unit and they’ve been so helpful with that whole process. Only real complaints I have are more about the residents lol, which ofc is unfortunate but also uncontrollable. Everyone’s very nice and friendly, they just suck at treating the pool like a privilege and not their personal trashcan. My experience at the outpost has been 8/10.

The management company is insisting on charging me a fee for “scuffs on the wall” with zero documentation to support their claim. I called immediately when I was served with the notice and instead of calling me back to resolve the issue, they sent my daughter to a collections agency. Do not rent from these crooks. Apparently, 1100/month (x2) doesn’t cover normal wear and tear.

We leased a townhome for our daughter’s senior year at Colorado state and while the unit itself was fine and spacious the problems with Management are too many to overlook. The unit was dirty when she moved in and while they cleaned the property before their departure, there were large fees withheld from their deposit, including one that I still can’t comprehend of $90 to clean the microwave. Their lease ended the end of July and we just received additional billing for utilities that they said were not billed early on. This complex lumps on multiple third-party vendors which milks college students of fees that are not necessary. One is simple bills, which compile all of their utilities and charges a monthly fee in which to do so. The other is a credit rating service that they try to charge for a monthly fee that you can certainly opt out of but if someone isn’t paying attention, you get hit with multiple fees. When we called the leasing office for an explanation on these things, they said we aren’t able to answer your questions and then hung up on us. There are other places in Fort Collins to rent for your college student. Be very skeptical of signing a lease at this complex.

The outpost apartments takes advantage of college students. Their bills have repetitive charges on them that if you don’t check your bill, clearly you will get overcharged. They put my son in an apartment this year that is clearly not up to code, dangerous, and they are unwilling to rectify the situation. They are more concerned about getting their rent, then making this apartment safe for my son and his roommates. I would steer clear from this apartment complex and move onto somewhere else that would be financially Appropriate and have apartments that reflect all the positive things that they say online… Because it is quite the opposite! I have nothing positive to say!
