This is a gem. I lived here for over a decade in different buildings and love the views, quiet neighborhood, great neighbors and friendly staff. Anytime I had an issue, which was rare, the office was quick to respond and always respected my schedule. There are plenty of walking areas if you have a dog, so you won't have any problems meeting furry friends. I highly recommend Americana Apartments. They were home to me!

I've been here for four months now and I am really happy with my living arrangements. The buildings seem to be a little older, but I wouldn't say that they're bad by any means. One thing I legitimately do not like about my place is the white paint. It seems to "stick" to anything that is touching it. I don't want to leave anything leaning against it or resting on painted parts because white paint residue comes off on whatever is touching it. The apartment cooled well enough in the summer, so we'll see how warm it stays in the winter. Every staff member I have met have been very nice and helpful. They made moving from 600 miles away easy. The neighborhood is usually quiet and it seems to be safe. I run at night all the time and I don't give safety a second thought. The grounds seem to be kept clean and well managed. Most residents pick up after their dogs, though I still wouldn't walk through the grass. I haven't needed maintenance for anything, but a friend of mine did and his issue was fixed the day of his call. UPDATE: My first maintenance issue was resolved within 24 hours of making a request. For what I'm paying ($900 a month minus utilities) I am really happy. I looked at other places in Lakewood and Golden for this price and they were really crummy compared to Americana Lakewood.

I have lived here for a year and a half so far. Rent is fairly priced for it's location, apartments are large, appliances work well and look nice. The complex is extremely pet friendly and many people have dogs/cats, plus pet rent/deposit is very cheap (even for puppies)! Maintenance is incredible and quick to respond to anything and replace/fix free-of-charge. No issues with neighbors or noise, my upstairs neighbors have a newborn and I rarely ever hear it.

Americana Lakewood was wonderful. My apartment was very quiet, had a beautiful view of Denver and the sunrise, and was equipped with new appliances that looked and worked great. Where Americana Lakewood really shined for me was the management team. They were extremely polite every time I had contact with them and when I had to break my lease three months early to move for work, they were great about giving me options. Even though they were not required to let me sign over my lease during this period, they recognized that allowing me to pay the re-letting fee and signing over my lease to a new tenant was mutually beneficial. If I moved back to Lakewood, I would have no reservations about staying here again.

For the price, I cannot find anything better. I just renewed my lease and could not be happier. The neighborhood is quiet, the staff is always eager to accommodate me, if you're a runner there is plenty of places to run, and it has been very convenient yet private. I also have two dogs and the price for the deposits and monthly pet fees is unbeatable. The grounds are always kept clean and I always see maintenance around the complex maintaining and improving the area.
