Oh Eagle Crest Apartments . . the memories! I lives here when I first moved to Vegas back in 2008 and I had completely no idea that this was not the best part of town to live in. I'm glad I soon realized that the Southwest was the place for me!!
I didn't have a job in Vegas yet but I had decent credit and money to put down on a deposit so I was quickly approved and ready to move in within 15 minutes of my first visit. It appeared clean and safe and the price was right for a 2 bedroom at $795 a month.
What I learned in my 2 months at Eagle Crest:
*It's not the safest neighborhood with a lot of loitering Mexicans and gangster teenagers.
*Maintenance is slow or doesn't really care if the plumbing is jacked and causing a flood in the kitchen or the washer doesn't work or the electrical outlet shocks the hell out of you! EEK!
*You can't have a nice car, it will be vandalized
*You don't want wander around at night if you are a woman
*The pool is not available half the time
*The office staff is less than knowledgeable and not really helpful at all
Needless to say I only stayed until I got a job and got out of there ASAP!
