Desert Palms is probably the cheapest apartment you can get near ASU.
$795 a month + utilities
I do agree with Gary, there's plenty of sketch people around but if you tend to mind your own business and pray that the people in the units around you are quiet Desert Palms is actually not that bad.
Pros: Pretty timely when it comes to maintenance requests. Didn't overcharge on the move-out inspection. (Only a $18 fee for oven cleaning)
Their office offers free printing and they have a pretty decent sized gym.
Place was good for a cheap year of slumming it but after that you may get a little tired of this place.
