The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Waterford at Southlands
This place doesn't feel like an apartment, it feels like a home. I recently moved to the area from Ohio and I was worried about moving from a house back into an apartment. Upon first review, the neighborhood was nice, quite and felt safe. Lauren, the property manager, was amazing as well! I toured the apartment and instantly fell in love. It has great finishes and the location is perfect! Right by plenty of shopping and entertainment. Also, the views just around the corner are immaculate! I couldn't have asked for a better situation after moving across the country.
Property Manager at Waterford at Southlands, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that your new apartment feels like home—especially after such a big move from Ohio. It means a lot to us that you felt welcomed and comfortable from the start. We're glad Lauren was able to make your experience so positive, and that the finishes, location, and views exceeded your expectations. We're honored to be part of your new chapter and are so happy you chose to call our community home!
I recently toured at Waterford and the property was beautiful and in a great location. It being right across the street from Southlands mall is amazing and so convenient. Plus the gym is beautiful. I am not looking to move for a little while but so far this is my top choice.
Property Manager at Waterford at Southlands, Responded To This Review
Thank you so much for touring Waterford and sharing your experience! We're glad you loved the location — being right across from Southlands Mall really does make everything so convenient. It’s great to hear that the gym and overall beauty of the property stood out to you. We’d be honored to be your top choice when the time comes to move, and we’re here whenever you’re ready!
Mice infested property- Maintenance problems- plumbing issues- sour smell coming from the Dishwashers - Crime is an issue Here- frequent car break ins! “DO NOT STAY HERE”
Property Manager at Waterford at Southlands, Responded To This Review
Hello Anonymous- We are aware of a sudden increase of mice within the community due to construction in the area yet our pest control has seen no infestation here aside from one home that is very dirty and not well kept. We are sure to take all maintenance related items and fix anything you may have problems with, within a 24-48 window. A sour smell coming from your dishwasher is not an exact issue that can be fixed outside of cleaning said dishwasher, cleanliness would be a reason for this problem, we would be happy to take a look. As far as crime being an issue we are a crime free community meaning we get reports of any crime that happens within the community, which we have not been made aware of frequent car break ins. Being that we also have security and they have not been made aware of this either we suggest you speak with the front office so they can assist in any ways possible! Thank you! Waterford at Southlands Management
We have enjoyed living here and the community. This has been the best home that we have had so far. The team has really made us feel valued and like they car. Would recommend.

We are so grateful for your amazing review! We are glad that your experience has been nothing but good, and hope to always meet this expectation. Thank you! -Waterford at Southlands Management
We stayed there for about 3 years. About the positives, liked the location (close to Southlands Mall), two car garages and open layout with lots of windows and natural light in the living room. Now for the negatives. The quality of the appliances (for the rent we paid) was abysmal. Snow removal during winter was non-existent. There was dog poo all around and they were unable to enforce anything. Over the 3 years we stayed, there was no landscaping done in the entire complex. The pool (which was supposed to be open all year round) was closed from Sept - May. The hot tub was broken half of the time. The biggest surprise came after we checked out. I have lived in other other apartment complexes and have never experienced anything like this. A couple of weeks after we left, they not only refused to refund the $500 security deposit (minus the last month's utility bills) but also told us that we need to pay an additional $200 for "damages". On requesting for an itemized list of what these were, they just sent a pdf with a list of random images - without an itemized bill. They complained about paint and carpet cleaning, which was ridiculous - we stayed there for almost 3 years and we should not be required to re-paint the entire place after our stay, when it all comes under normal "wear and tear". Before we left, we had cleaned the place and expected them to hire house cleaners to make it move-in ready for the next tenant. We called the customer care and even sent emails, but have yet to get a response on why they think we should not get our refund back! It looks like not returning the refundable security deposit is a scam (noticed another person here complained about the same issue). We looked up our rights as a tenant in Colorado, and we are entitled to get our money back, as it falls under normal wear and tear.
We have lived at Waterford for the past 3 years. Overall the experience was fine but there are issues. There have been 3 staff changes since we moved in and generally they have been nice. The landscaping is finally being addressed after dead trees have been present for years. People don't pick up after their dogs, broken gym equipment and the hot tub is frequently out of service. Overall the apartments are spacious but the appliances and construction is not up to par with the cost of monthly rent. My biggest complaint and frustration is that after 3 years in our unit we are, I assume, being charged for painting of a full unit as well as carpet cleaning. I am being asked for money by their customer care department with no statement of what the charges are for and why our deposit is refunded. This is absolutely normal wear and tear and crazy to charge tenants. The new management cannot return the multiple calls we have left nor emails asking for an itemized bill. As tenants we do have rights against landlords who appear to be dishonest, if you are ready to move out from Waterford - you must request a walkthrough. Really quite a disappointing end and no we won't be paying the extra and we will pursue Waterford for our rightful return of a deposit for a well kept apartment. Many others have had this issue the latest management is running a racket, well happy to take you to small claims. For those of you thinking of renting here there are better options and not worth this move out hassle.
At first glance the apartment appears to be very beautiful. As you spend more time in the apartment you can see that it was built quickly and cheaply. Craftsmanship is suffering, however, it is an apartment after all. I have had several issues that have required the attention of the management team. It is like pulling teeth to get a response. It is truly their way or the high way and us tenants, have no recourse. For $2000 a month, I expect more. The only saving grace is that Southlands Mall is directly across the street and can be walked to. Will not be renewing the lease.
We moved into the apartments and love the space. We had a two bedroom, two baths. Both Bathrooms had closets in them and the closets in the bedrooms were huge. The kitchen more than adequate space, also a plus. The dog part was wonderful let our dog run around. We only left because we bought a house. The office staff was wonderful! The apartment was very quiet, I do recommend this place.
Don't live here!! I just moved out!! I lived there for 6 months! First, the maintenance boys couldn't fix the internal problems so they existed throughout my stay. Then upon moveout I made sure my apartment was immaculate! I asked for a walk through many times when my apartment was empty so I could touch up with paint any spots necessary. Finally after getting the walk through the maintenance boy said it looked good. 1 month later I get a bill for $300 for paint and touch ups. After arguing with the company they deferred to their disputes resolution company who didn't do anything and is the same people anyway. After clearly pleading my case and showing them they sent me pictures or damage that wasn't even of my apartment and showed proof in the pictures that it wasn't my apartment....they said sorry the case is closed. This place is a scam They will eat your money and raise the rent if you wanna stay. I repeat do not live here unless you wanna throw away your security deposit and your hard earned money. For the amount you are gonna pay to move in from the February to October months just rent a house.
Watermark has a true home feeling without the added maintenance. The complex is always clean and quiet. The staff is awesome and very quick to response and TAKE ACTION. Lauren in the office is fabulous. Thanks watermark for making our 2 and years feel like home. Mazique family.
I really love this place Feels so good to come to a nice clean property and home. Maintenance always takes care of me and they are so professional and polite. The office staff took care of all my needs and concerns. They made me feel right at home from the start.
I have lived at Watermark for over a year now. Since the NEW staff ( Lauren and JT) living here has become remarkable. Lauren is quick to take care of any issues I have and JT carries out the work. For once the office and maintenance are on the same page. Thank you for taking care of me.
