| - I lived at Level for two years on the 4th floor, which is the top floor.
I had the Manhattan floor plan and my own parking spot underground.
My rent started off at $900/mo (thanks to a move in promo) and after one year it jumped to a little over $1,000/mo. When it came time for my third renewal they wanted a little over $1,100/mo. so I declined and moved out. The apartment was an average deal at $900/mo, and became a bad deal at $1,100/mo.
I have to echo what other posters have complained about:
-Paper thin walls. I could hear my neighbors using their bathrooms while I was walking in the hallways.
-My downstairs neighbors could hear me walking at all hours, even if I was barefoot and tread lightly.
-Pet urine in inappropriate places, despite there being a dog park.
-An abundance of ratchet people moved in towards the end of my second year.
-Over priced for what you get.
-Understaffed office.
-Gym equipment was poorly maintained.
-Pool TVs usually had missing remotes.
-Local neighborhood hoodlums using the pool area during the daytime.
-Slow elevators. Ridiculously slow.
-Shoddy security gate that was always conveniently broken on the weekends.
-Located in a bad area. But realistically, few places in Phoenix proper were good.
-They increase rent by at least $100 every time you renew. They were not open to negotiating while I was there.
-Huge turnover of staff was frequent. I started with the Manager Lori and by the time I was done a new Manager, Heather, had taken over.
-Staff members routinely partied in empty units on the weekends.
-Poolside units had to endure the loud noise from pool parties on the weekends.
-A lot of creepers started moving in towards the end, in addition to the ratchet clientele.
-Floor plans have little square footage.
-Few if any parking spots were available for guests on the weekends.
-Residents that opted out of paying the parking fee would use the guest parking spots.
-Hot tub is broken a lot. And there is a fundamental problem with the water filtration system in the hot tub; it is ALWAYS spewing dirty germ infested water no matter how often they have it cleaned out.
All in all, I enjoyed my first year here when the building first opened. It was at 40% capacity when I moved in, few if any creepers or ratchet folks. There was always ample parking. Most of the people living here at that time were working professionals.
There were issues with cars being broken into when I first moved here, but they installed cameras in the parking areas that helped curtail the problem.
I would be really hesitant to ever move back here because of how bad it became towards the end. Moving further away from Phoenix proper would yield better results for what you would pay at Level.
