I have been living at this apartment community since April of 2016.
I read some of the other reviews before moving here. I spoke with Lisa in the main office about some of the issues. She was very knowledgeable to the concerns people had listed in reviews and was attentive to addressing them. Three things that stood out to me were: Smoke, flooding in the courtyards, and mosquitos. I have not experienced any issues with any of these. Lisa explained the reasons for the flooding and the maintenance staff appears to have gotten things under control. In the past 2 months I have not witnessed any flooding despite several heavy downpours. Mosquitos have not been an issue. From what I understand, they are prevented through monthly sprayings around the community. As far as the smoke, I have had no issue whatsoever.
Pros:
-The unit that I moved into was identical to the model units; no bait and switch. Everything was ready on move-in day and the unit was clean and truly ready to live in. I think it's strange that I have to mention this, but previous places I have lived, this had not always been the case.
-The complex is very quiet in the evenings and people are respectful to one another. Walking my dog in the late evening I hear only crickets and the occasional coyote in the distance. I have seen security guards patrolling the complex in the evenings.
-Food trucks come every other Wednesday. Most are pretty good and it's definitely nice to see one after a long day at work and not have to worry about what to make for dinner.
-Maintenance seems to be on top of their stuff here. I had one minor maintenance issue and it was resolved promptly and correctly.
-There are Amazon lockers outside of the main office which is convenient for picking up packages after office hours. Also Amazon Prime Now (2-hour delivery) is available here.
Neutral:
Location: This is subjective. For me I enjoy being a bit off the beaten path, but keep in mind this place is impractically far from most of Phoenix.
Pool: The pool here is configured in a cloverleaf shape. It is large, but is a bit shallow and doesn't lend itself to fitness swimming as there is no practical way to swim laps. It is well maintained and ideal for families with small children.
