Let me just say first off the location is amazing, I'd even say perfect! Even though that has almost nothing to do with the actual living arrangements, it does make a pretty big deal to live in the right spot. This place is great if you like different modes of transportation other than a car. Great shopping and dinning right at the corner north of here with grocery store, lots of food options, chain and local, drugstore, gas station, other various stores. That's a big deal to me, nice to be able to walk to all those things. There is frequent Tempe bus service 20 hours a day til almost 1am on McClintock with a connection to light rail, great bike lanes on McClintock and Guadalupe with a multi-use path along the canal just south of this complex and easy freeway access to the Loop 101 and US-60 both about a mile from here. You really can't beat that!
So location aside the actual units are nice and the office staff always has been very helpful and available to us. On the other hand there are a few little things that can make or break where you live. When we first moved in to our unit we had an upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, but no baseboards and an old, flat carpet from the last tenants. The windows are thin and during the summer that can cause a problem though they do have solar shades on most windows with an over abundance of sunlight. A new company has bought the property and is in the process of painting all the buildings and are remodeling all the old units with new carpet, dark cherry cabinets, tan walls, and beautiful baseboards. If we had one of those gorgeous, updated units this may easily be 5 stars, so take this with a grain of salt and keep in mind all units surely vary.
My last frustrations are that the A/C unit does not have high enough pressure to reach the master bedroom which happens to also get the most direct sunlight, so in the summer this can be a problem. That room also happens to have a window that is 6 inches away from a neighboring patio which wouldn't be a problem aside from the fact that they smoke, frequently. So as you can imagine when the weather is nice out and we have our windows open, their smoke rolls right in our window and fills up our bedroom and that room of course has no air pressure to push that smoke or hot air back out. Just a heads up, check your neighbors before you move in. A LOT of people in this complex smoke, and frequently. We literally have a smoker on every single side of us and I wish we had know that from day one.
So basically to wrap it all up, this is a nice little community in a great location with a helpful office staff and nice floor plans. There just may or may not be some of the little details that can make or break how much you enjoy your home.
