| - This is probably the best place to start if you're new to Vegas. There's a welcoming community that you can jump right into, everything is included so you don't have to figure out what gas/electric/cable company to get quite yet, and it's cheap while you look for a job or what have you. It's also right next to all the best stuff in downtown Vegas and you can walk right into festivals and celebrations every night if you want, then walk right home. Actually, it's a good way to get all the Vegas partying out of your system at once.
As far as safety goes, everyone has different tolerance levels. If you've lived in cities before, this isn't going to seem dangerous to you. I'm from Boston and I've always kept my door locked even if I'm walking five feet away, and I've never had a problem, if that gives you an idea.
There's some things to consider before moving here though...
First, a LOT of people live here. Some are crazy, or thieves, or beggars, or slobs, etc. Most are alright. You really should only move here if you like to be around people though, cause it gets noisy and crazy and it's better if you enjoy that.
Second, there's a LOT of dogs here. If you don't like dogs, I can't imagine you would even make it through the lease process without seeing six or seven, and there's about fifty more. If you love dogs, awesome, cause they all want to be pet and loved.
Last, the apartments are super small. After about 8 months in mine, I was ready to start clawing up the walls. Sure, there's IKEA and vertical style setups, but nothing beats having a door on your bathroom. I think it's actually similar to living in a camper (or a prison cell, if you like). It does wear on you. There's all the community space, courtyard and everything, and it helps keep your mind off it to finish out the lease.
Last thing to mention, Rey in the front office is great and loves dogs, and Tony keeps this place running smoothly, and I appreciated having them there during my stay. I found management overall nice and maintenance always made it same day. And you can pay your rent on the website and receive an email as confirmation that you paid, which keeps those records nice and organized.
Lots of people do have complaints about this place, and I guess that they're right, but if you're laid back and used to cities then I think you would have a similar good experience here.
Edit: As of writing this, the fire alarm issues have been fixed. They go off once a month or so now because people get smoke in their rooms and fan it out into the hallway instead of out the window, setting off the building alarm in the hallways. And they've stopped turning the water off for maintenance about two months ago too, except one incident that went from about 9am to 2pm. But now it seems like everyone has working hot water, so they've been fixing all the kinks in the system.
