Recently helped our son move to Fort Collins and into 281 Willow. Natasha was exceptional. Her attention to detail is unparalleled. She made the whole transition seamless.

281 continues to be the best place to live in Fort Collins and the new management team is phenomenal! Sean, Natasha, Alexander, and Cole meticulously oversee management and maintenance, providing a clean, elegant, and luxurious environment to call home. Look no further, 281 is the best!

I want to address a recent negative review about this apartment building left by a man named Jonathan, which seems more about the reviewer’s personal experience than the actual quality of the community.
First, while it’s true that sound can travel in any apartment setting, my own experience has been quite the opposite. The walls and floors are standard for most apartment complexes, and I’ve found the noise levels manageable. Additionally, the community is generally respectful, and I haven't encountered the disruptive behavior described.
It's worth noting that the leasing team here is incredibly responsive. If issues arise, they genuinely care and take action to address them. This resident’s claims about the management's response don’t align with my experience. The staff is always approachable and willing to help with any concerns.
Living here has been a positive experience for me, largely due to the attentive management and the friendly atmosphere they foster. I believe that how we engage with our neighbors and management can significantly influence our experience in a community. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment building for its supportive staff and welcoming environment.

Welcoming, clean property that feels modern and connected to the Old Town vibe. The appeal of the property is perfected by the personable and thoughtful staff -- Natasha has done a great job from my initial visit through move-in. Natasha and Sean are helpful, available, and knowledgeable.

My girlfriend and I recently took a tour of 281 Willow to consider possibly leasing. We were very impressed with the amenities, and the leasing office was extremely friendly and helpful. We were so impressed in-fact that we signed a 13 month lease.
We have toured just about every apartment available in Fort Collins from ultra high-end to ultra low end and this is definitely in the top two apartments in Fort Collins (#1 for location). A very nice apartment with a spectacular location and great views of the city and the mountains.
As we haven’t moved in yet, I can’t talk about my experience living at 281 Willow. However, when we move in, I will update this review after three months of living at 281.

We have been living in the Willow Apartments for over two years and were the very first residents to move into the new building. From the moment we arrived, it has felt like home! The location is ideal, and there’s an amazing energy and sense of excitement in the community.
Our apartment is both pleasant and comfortable, but what truly makes our experience exceptional is the outstanding management team – Natasha and Sean. They are incredible! They are always approachable and ready to help, they go above and beyond to ensure we feel safe, comfortable, and happy. They have been quick and skillful in finding the best solutions to our problems, concerns or requests. Their professionalism, combined with their positive, personal approach to every resident, makes Willow Apartments a special place to live.
We highly recommend Willow Apartments!
Thank you, Willow team!

I recently moved into 281 Willow street in June and I must say that the experience moving in was seamless. Natasha made the whole move in process very easy and goes above and beyond what I’d expect someone to do. When we were moving in we had movers that had delayed our shipment to when we wouldn’t be home. Natasha accepted the shipment so that we could have our furniture when we got back. Every time we had to call down to the office Natasha was quick to answer and has always been professional and very accommodating. The experience of living here is enhanced with such attentive and kind employees. After a storm and some power surges our refrigerator died. We called maintenance after hours and within 15 mins maintenance was here assisting us with moving our food. I have not had a bad experience here yet.
