Basecamp at West 8th
Basecamp at West 8th in Golden, Colorado is a modern, eco-friendly apartment community designed to breathe new life into a historic location. Ideally situated just minutes from downtown Golden, residents enjoy immediate access to outdoor adventures,... local dining, boutique shopping, and popular attractions. Proudly LEED Silver certified, Basecamp at West 8th promotes sustainable living without compromising comfort—offering modern amenities, smart home technology, and breathtaking natural surroundings that create the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility.
I can no longer recommend living here.
I have lived at West 8th for almost a year and had zero problems. I was very happy with the complex and living in building 2. However, recently there has been a change in management along with a new parking system that has made things significantly more difficult. Prior to this change, we never had any issues finding parking close to our apartment. Additionally, this is now the third management change since I moved in.
For context, I am paying over $3,000 per month to live here, and this situation is far below what I would expect at that price point.
The new system appears to have been poorly implemented.
From what I understand, some 2-bedroom apartments with four occupants were allowed four parking spaces, when they should have been limited to two. Meanwhile, in my case, I should have been eligible for two spots but was initially given none.
I reached out to both Parkade (the third-party parking service) and the leasing office. The only solution offered was a spot located a significant distance from my apartment, and this was only after I was asked to pay extra for garage parking, which I declined.
Additionally, my wife is six months pregnant and making her walk long distances with groceries and daily items due to a mismanaged parking rollout is unacceptable. I don’t expect that this situation will improve once we have a newborn to manage.
Up until about two weeks ago, I would have recommended this complex without hesitation.
Unfortunately, I can no longer do so and would advise others to look elsewhere if they have the option.

I've lived here for 4 plus years. The office staff and maintenance staff have been great to work with. The unit I'm in is well designed and very comfortable.

Love calling this home!
Just moved in and am truly happy to call this home! Ashlee who is the on-site manager is warm/caring and welcoming just what sold me on wanting to live here. The apartments are well kept, clean and very updated. Had a maintenance issue come up right after move in and was fixed very quickly. So very thankful to be a resident. Ownership should be thanked as well for placing their trust in Ashlee. She truly makes west 8th the best. I plan to refer my friends.

West 8th
Very nice luxury apartments. High cost but is to be expected for a luxury place. Good for college kids willing to share rooms as it is close to the school and river. Right across the street from the community center for Golden and staff are always nice and willing to help.
