| - #LoveWhereYouLive!
We went through a 2-year process of downsizing from a large home to apartment living. Suburban folks gone Urban! That's us! We considered four different areas of the valley and landed ourselves at Peak16. To start with, the location is spot on. I guess it's considered the Biltmore/Arcadia corridor. Here's our life in a nutshell.
We have 8 min commute to work and the airport. We are foodies, so the restaurant/bar scene options are endless. We Uber/Lyft most of the time and beach bikes are now on our must have list. Always something to do in Phoenix and Peak16 is also the host to resident events too! I've posted pics of our most recent get togethers there.
Our apartment comes with absolutely everything that we needed! Do I miss my space? Yep, but it's a trade off! It was a process. Urban living is typically smaller spaces and different surroundings, but Peak16 offers open spacious floor plans with upgraded fixtures in stainless steel. Love the single basin sink in the kitchen and double side by side frig! Completely feels like that of custom built homes, just slightly scaled down in size. Quartz countertops are beautiful and seam to be durable.
We really enjoy all the amenities especially since everything is accessible 24/7! The best way to describe the clubhouse is it's like walking into the lobby of a JW Marriott! Very luxurious and modern. We should know because we only stay at Marriott when we travel.
Fitness center: We are downsizing our gym membership because Peak16 has pretty much all we need. Not sure I want to let the secret out, but they have a Peloton Bike as well as 3 additional spin bikes! Fitness on Demand, yoga area, free weights, treadmill and much more! They had a cool boot camp class one night for the residents that was super fun. Still keeping gym membership too. It's just us!
We are having to adjust to all the socializing we do now compared with when we lived in our home. Lol! Park in garage, close door and don't leave again kinda of days are gone for us!
Some of our favorite little side perks to living here:
24/7 Coffee Service! Just as good as Starbucks! Their machine offers lattes and espresso with flavoring options! Original Pac-Man machine, pool table, and multiple TVs to watch your favorite shows in the beautiful clubhouse! When was the last time you saw a machine like this?
Mail delivery: We get a lot of packages between personal shopping online and work samples/marketing supplies so we love the Luxor Package Center! Our packages are scanned, put into lockers and we pick them up at "our" conveinance with a code sent via email and text message! So cool and user friendly. Then there's the 1-day dry cleaning service! We don't have an overabundance of dry cleaning, but it still very convenient to have it right there on site!
Storage onsite: This is wonderful. We have a locker on site. Might be limited availability. We were only the 5th resident(s) that have moved in at the time.
Lastly, the move gifts are above and beyond! You'll have to move in before you can really see and appreciate all the wonderful goodies they give you! However, I have posted a sneak peak pic of ours!
Looks like this will be our home for the next couple of years until we decide on fav area to purchase retirement space! Only problem is, we won't have all of the amenities like here! Therefore, I am in no rush to move again anytime soon! Feel free to ask any questions. I waited three months to do this review so I could give you an honest and detailed opinion of our experience living at Peak 16!
The finale of our experience!
The entire team at this community went above and beyond throughout our move-in process. Unfortunately, they had to endure my pain a bit and I'm so grateful they patiently did so. Even my husband appreciates. They truly make you feel like part of the family from the minute you walk through the door. Thank you for making our emotionally painful move, switched to excitement by welcoming us into our next chapter of life. You made it an experience for us and not just your job. Sooooo Happy we moved here.
Sincerely,
Happy residents!
