| - Buckle your asses up boys and girls. Here is one of the few honest and unprompted reviews you'll find on this page. Sit down and join me will you?
Now, there are a few consistencies I tend to see on Yelp:
The wedding industry averages 5 stars
Restaurants get the gambit
Apartment complexes get absolutely crucified.
Why do apartments get the shaft? People only go on their apartment's Yelp page when they're pissed off.
As I sit here in my last day, I'll hit you with my pros and cons and explain why this place ended with 5 stars.
Might as well start with the cons:
-The garage gates are literally always broken. At least 1 out of the 4 entry/exitways is always permanently up or permanently down. The moment they fix one, another immediately decides to break. It's honestly impressive how much it happens.
-Piggybacking off the first one, my bike got stolen from the garage and nothing could be done.
-It's a bit of a crapshoot on noise. Occasionally you get that asshat peeling out down the street or talking loudly. But honestly it wasn't that bothersome. It's nothing compared to the places in old town or Tempe.
-It's a bit pricy i guess? I've seen people complain about it but I think it's WELL worth the money.
This brings me to the pros!
-Holy balls this place is nice. All the units are decked the hell out. kitchen is fantastic, washer/dryer in every until, storage, etc. I lived on the third floor, kept my place tidy, and literally only ever had one bug (a fly) in my place and that's cause I left the door open.
-The parking garage is indoors (go figure). Compared to pretty much everywhere else that has outdoor parking, this is a fucking DREAM. Arizona summers can suck it. Also, the gate issue is more of an inconvenience than anything.
-The front office staff are the fucking best! Here's looking at you, Brenda! They all learn your names and do what they can to help. One morning, my AC went out and it was fixed by the time I got home. Every little thing is handled super efficiently by maintenance. Also, there are a bunch of TVs in the lobby, during NFL season, they realized a bunch of us congregated down there and the next weekend had the redzone package purchased.
-The location - $7 lyft ride to Old town or Mill. Can't beat that. Plus you're peeing distance from 3 great bars and a Dutch Bros.
-The coffee machine. Holy fucking hell that machine pretty much paid for my rent every month. It has options for days. Saved me an insane amount of money on caffeine.
-The pool. It's quite nice. I love the ambiance out there. They recently locked down on poolside shenanigans. You can't throw a wager down there. That being said, if you have music on and it's not obnoxious and you keep your beer discreet, then you can have a nice Saturday down there. Just be cool.
Anyway there it is. Live here. It's great. I gave it 5 stars because even with the small issues, it's so much better than anywhere I've ever lived
Protip - all large apartment rent structures are built on an algorithm. That takes into account supply and demand. If you have a bit of time, it's worth it to check day after day to see what the current price is.
