| - Somewhere between 2 and 3 stars.
The PROS:
Nice pool, especially in the summer. Nice location: not far from all the Phoenix hubbub, but not too close. Got some good trail heads not far from here if you like hiking. The interior is decent, and the appliances are nice. The gate is a good thing, and I like the double bolts on the doors. The gym facility is also much better than any other complex I have been to, which saves me some $$ on a membership.
The CONS:
Noise! I sleep with earplugs at night because if you have decent hearing you'll be able to hear a lot of what your neighbors do: doors open and close, drawers slide, etc. The worst is that the front doors slam if you let them, which a lot of people do. This will noticeably shake your apartment from the force. I have sent emails to the management to ask about it, but nothing has changed and their responses are few. The walls seem somewhat thin, so any noise outside from kids, construction (which is currently ongoing), etc. is audible.
IF YOU ARE TOURING:
Make sure you run the shower or flush the toilet in the MBR. The water heater is RIGHT next to our MBR, and it makes a loud clicking sound when pumping water. If you have a spouse in bed while you take a shower, they'll likely be woken up by the heater.
It's a nice place to live, and would be nicer if the neighbors were in any way considerate regarding noise. If you luck out and get good neighbors (and don't mind the high rent), then it'll qualify as a luxury apartment. But if not, be aware of both pros and cons.
