After writing my first review of Desert Club I received a nice response from management and they addressed some of my concerns. I am happy to report that they sent someone within one day to power wash the walkways and the grassy areas have been much more pleasant with the cooling of the seasons. Additionally, they swapped out my kitchen faucet for a brand new one so I could attach my water filter. No more lugging up cases of water three stories! Yay! They have also installed ceiling fans in the gym that keep it much more cool and replaced the belts on the treadmills. The ellipticals still make quite a bit of noise when you use them but that's nothing headphones can't fix. I still believe this is one of the best places in North Scottsdale and would recommend it.
