| - I'm not saying it's the worst place in Tempe, but it's definitely the best on a budget. So far, I've lived here six months, no big problems really. First off, the apartments itself. They're quite drab and boring, and they're all one bedrooms, which is kind of nice for the price. With that, there's not much to offer, other then a decent closet and a patio. The walls are super thin, so you may never hear your computer or TV past a low volume for quite some time. It's located right next to one of the sub police stations, so if you ever have any issues, you can literally scream out to the police. The neighbors, they're not the greatest, to be modest. This is a pretty decent area for college kids, so there's a lot of them, and then there's also a lot of elderly couples and some families. Yes, families, that live in a one bedroom, 550 square foot apartment, so I understand if some are a little cranky. Some are a little rude, but most keep to themselves and would rather not talk to anyone. To be frank, some of the apartment rules are a little harsh, and I feel that they are this way to break leases, which are at a steep price (keeping your deposit, also asking for 2 months rent, which puts you at a loss of about $2,000+). The staff is decent, maintenance gets done within a kind of timely fashion. Things have known to be stolen out of the washers and dryers, be warned, I would recommend doing your laundry on a weekday between 10am and 2pm because almost everyone isn't doing their laundry then.
There are better and friendlier apartments out there, keep looking. These apartments are for those who need a transition, I recommend 3-6 months at most. As I said, it's not the worst, but you get what you pay for. Maybe I'm just being a snobby Californian, it's just not a perfect fit for me.
