| - I lived in the complex for a year and a half, and it was great once I got in.
The apartment itself was a very nice two bedroom, two bath, with an open kitchen and large living space, and a small balcony area. I had only a few minor issues with the shower, dishwasher, and air conditioning, and they were all fixed within a reasonable time-frame (the maintenance guys are really awesome and friendly!)
The noise level wasn't that bad, but that really depends on your location within the complex. I was fortunate enough to be in one of the ones towards the back within one of the hallways, which while it made going to the laundry room a slight pain, the only real noise I heard was the occasional noise from up or downstairs, and lightrail testing. (By the way, the location is really good for commuting, it's right by a lightrail stop, and a little under a mile from ASU.)
The only criticisms I have are of the application process, as it was really extensive and there were a lot of hoops to jump through -- and they lost my application/employment verification/other information once! They ended up calling me and asking me to resubmit everything within 24 hours or I'd lose the hold on the apartment I wanted. The office staff has since been replaced but the application and process is still the same -- which by the way, I am not sure if they've fixed this on their online form, but at the time I applied it would not submit properly if you left any fields blank. Which means you'd need to use very obvious dummy data in the things that didn't apply to you.
All in all, once you're in, the apartments are great, but just be prepared to be patient with the application process, and to be making a few phone calls/emails to make sure everything is going smoothly.
