We lived at La Privada apartments in Scottsdale for just six months. There are many minuses:
Our place was a mess upon move in with a lot of issues. Many were fixed after multiple requests.
Loud blowers from the gardeners start up many days in the week at 7:00am. Rude...
Substantial rent increases immediately upon lease expirations. Our rent would have gone up over $200 at just six months.
Air Conditioning unit will not cool down your place. The bedrooms are blitzing hot in summer and will cost you a small fortune as you have to run the air full time. We had to buy a portable unit even though the unit had air.
Management is mostly friendly, but needs a lot of reminders to take care of things.
The units have nice layouts and we had ample space in our 2 bedroom model. That and the gym are the plusses.
