Where do I begin. I have lived here for five years. The first 3 1/2 were good. Management was OK, maintenance was very goodand the rent was reasonable. However this will change with the new management company that came in about six months ago. You used to pay for the water based on how much you used which I only used $15 every month. The new management decided because I had a two bedroom I was going to pay $60 a month. No I'm not going to pay $60 a month I'm going to move out because on top of that they jacked up the rent $175. I know three people in three different apartments that had this happen to them in the last two months to rent went up a good $200. I wouldn't mind if the apartment was worth $200 extra but they're not. the landscaping is awful and landing to the apartments are very ratty and there is paint splatters all over everything. Four years ago our neighbors were great it was quiet now there is a lot of questionable people. The back gates are open all night the front gates they close at 9 o'clock. In the past year the cops are there continuously. I found a beautiful apartment that is very well-kept up better class of people for the same amount of money that Saratoga ridges is asking now. In the complex I am in now the office people told me seven groups of people came in from Saratoga Ridge in the past three months looking for an apartment because Saratoga ridge upped the rent so High. The landscaping here is atrocious The bathrooms are the same bathrooms and haven't been upgraded since they built the place 30 to 35 years ago. They have nice stainless steel appliances but that's about it. The rent they are asking is definitely not worth living here. if it were two to $300 cheaper I would say it was worth it rent by all means, but these are not luxury apartment so they should not be charging luxury prices. Do yourself a favor and check around there are many other apartments in Phoenix hundreds that I believe you could get a better deal. And as much as I hate to say this, there are a lot of nice quiet tenants there but in the last 6 or so months there has been a big influx of lowlifes.
