I have lived in Arizona my whole life and never had any issues with Scorpions. Lots of people who live in AZ say there's scorpions no matter where you live out here and I say that's not true. This was the first apartment I got that had scorpions. I couldn't stand it!!! To not feel comfortable in your own home is the worst feeling. I also have a son and I was very worried about one of us getting stung. If you do not want to live with scorpions then this is not the apartment for you. If you don't mind them and need cheap rent then this is your place.
