The Dorsey

Living at The Dorsey means being right in the middle of one of Denver’s most historic and dynamic neighborhoods. The building has a sleek, modern design with all the expected conveniences—secure access, fitness center, rooftop lounges, and stylish common spaces. The real highlight is location: you’re steps from coffee shops, bars, music venues, and the light rail. Five Points has deep history and a growing food/arts scene, so you’re never far from something interesting. For people who want city energy but also a comfortable home base, The Dorsey nails it. The best part isn’t just the building itself, but the people—tenants here are genuinely friendly, and it feels like a real community rather than just another apartment complex.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We’ve had unresolved AC issues for two summer seasons in a row, with the temperature in our apartment sitting at 83 degrees for over a month this summer. The “repairs” are just temporary bandages that never fix the root problem. Management has been completely unresponsive and fails to communicate any updates or solutions. On top of the AC nightmare, our car was broken into while parked on the property, and there are constant issues with the garage doors not working properly, which makes security feel like an afterthought. For the price we pay, the lack of professionalism, communication, and basic maintenance is unacceptable. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere before considering living here. Edit: The AC units in place, as mentioned in our continuous emails that remain ignored, are not doing anything to cool the apartment and our bedrooms are still above 80 degrees. Your time would be better spent addressing this directly than continuing the public facing facade you’re so desperately pushing by answering google reviews.

Needless to say, I didn’t have the most pleasant move-in experience. I was informed last minute that the plans would change according to my initial move-in due to a scheduling oversight which was resolved so not the worst thing. When I moved into my unit, it was completely filthy. There was glue EVERYWHERE from maintenance re-installing the flooring. The walls had not been re-painted and the flooring had not been completed. I informed the front desk and instead of being apologetic, I was given some irrelevant justification as to why it wasn’t cleaned, which isn’t really what I was expecting to hear. I was offered a housekeeping service but it wouldn’t have resolved any issues because I had already cleaned. I shouldn’t have had to clean a “move-in ready” apartment prior to moving my stuff in. I spent my own money for cleaning supplies on top of the move-in fees. The exterior door outside of the elevators reeks of dog urine from people letting their pets urinate on the sidewalk. It’s just disgusting to have to walk through it. Please inform the staff of how to properly exhibit customer service so these types of things don’t occur again. Otherwise, the building, amenities and close proximity to downtown activities are a positive. *Update 3/12/25* Heather (property manager) is a rockstar. Professional, courteous and prompt. She got right on it and fixed my issues. Everyone on her staff can take a lesson from her in the way of customer service. Thanks Heather!

The Dorsey where do I even start? This property is absolutely amazing. The team is phenomenal especially a Big shout out to Rafael the life-style director and Heather community manager for always putting on great events and making sure the community is always in tiptop shape. The leasing team is always there willing to help with anything that you need. The maintenance team Big shout out to Mike is great at keeping the property looking. It’s very best or taken care of my work orders within 24 hours.

I’ve been living at The Dorsey for over a year now, and I can confidently say it’s been the most wonderful experience. From day one, the sense of community fostered by the staff has truly made this place feel like home. A special thank you to the Lifestyle Director for coordinating such thoughtful and fun events—because of them, I’ve met so many neighbors who have now become friends. Whether it’s a casual gathering or a themed event, there’s always something to look forward to that brings residents together in meaningful ways. The Dorsey isn’t just an apartment complex—it’s a vibrant community, and I’m so grateful to be part of it.

Raf has been a true bright spot living here. This is easily the best managed luxury living I have been apart of. The attention to detail and care he puts in to each of the residents is second to none! Cant wait to resign my lease 😊

Living at The Dorsey has been an incredible experience, and a huge part of that is thanks to Rafael and his work as the Lifestyle Director. He is amazingly creative with the events he plans—there’s always something happening weekly, monthly, and throughout the year that truly brings the community together. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about every resident and has a real passion for what he does. Beyond the events, the entire staff at The Dorsey is friendly, helpful, and caring, making this one of the best places I’ve ever lived. I’ve moved every year for the last 10 years, so I’ve seen my fair share of buildings, and The Dorsey stands out in every way. The building is well-maintained, and more than anything, it truly feels like home. Highly recommend!

I have no idea how this place has so many positive reviews. My experience has been awful from day one. Ever since I moved in, it’s been one issue after another. First, everyone's cars were broken into shortly after I moved in. That should have been a red flag, but things only got worse. Something is always breaking in this community, whether it’s the gate, fixtures, or systems. The biggest issue, though, has been the AC. We've had problems with it since day one. Every maintenance visit would only temporarily fix it and then it would spot working again. It's regularly over 80 degrees inside, and no one in the leasing office seems to care. They ignore emails, don’t follow up, and offer no real solutions. The lack of responsiveness and accountability is unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
