| - Last September I moved out of Las Vegas for a 6 month work contract and had to cancel my lease. When it came to returning home, I only had three days to find a place to live. Aviata caught my eye as I was driving by but I'd originally shrugged it off because I thought it was going to be too expensive for what I was looking for...
It has lush greenery all around the property, it's well groomed and nicely maintained. My father (who was in the car with me) demanded we have a look anyway. We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the friendliest people I've ever met, Kim. She was completely understanding about my current situation and informed us of their move in specials... which just so happens to put it right in my range. I was exhausted from looking at places and planned on making this my last stop for the day. Kim gave me water, talked to us for about 45 minutes before we asked to see a model. She walked us through all three floor plans they had available and explained not only the pros but also the cons of each. At this point I was pretty sure I just wanted to live here because the staff was amazing. Long story short, I DID end up moving in because everything just seemed perfect.
I've been here for 6 months now and I have to tell you it's been great. It's a pleasure to go into the office once a month to pay my rent because I know there is always a smile awaiting me on the other side of the counter. The management is very accommodating, the property and apartments are nice and they have 2 gorgeous pools that in these hot Las Vegas summer months I use quite frequently. The other residents are mostly quiet and well mannered, the neighborhood children aren't jerks, the parking is (almost) plentiful, the landscape is green (not dirt and rocks like most Las Vegas apartments), it's gated and even though it's on a Main Street you can hear very little noise. We have a workout room that is fairly large and has a nice amount of equipment (while most of it a bit older and well used) for you to chose from, a sauna, and well... the list goes on.
Bugs... now, don't get me wrong... every complex in this world has bugs but the greenery does attract more spiders than anything. Roaches are minimal and they offer to spray as often as you need (as long as it's not more than once a week) to get rid of any problems you may have... Also, the bug guy they use is really nice, respectful, and quick.
The on site security is friendly and helpful.
Maintenance is a little inconsistent at times. While I've always had my work orders completed same day I've spoken to residents who haven't been so lucky. One time they came in to check a light socket for me because it wouldn't light up, no matter how many bulbs I put in it and I'd checked the breaker before I'd called... when they got there they looked at me blankly and asked if I bothered to change the bulb. I know there are a lot of stupid people out there but I am most certainly not one of them. Something I really don't like is that when they come to complete an order they always knock on my door like the incredible hulk. I know you have things to do and you want to move on if I'm not home... and you want me to hear you but just be a little bit more gentile. Haha. It always scares the crap out of me when they do it.
Over-all I've really loved living here... It's conveniently located near everything I could ever need and more. Freeways, shopping, parks, bars, malls, rec centers, restaurants, hotels and it only takes me 6 minutes to get to work on the strip.
Two thumbs up from me!
