| - My wife and I move...a lot. I don't know if it's our A.D.D. flaring up, or what...but we get bored of places really quickly. Therefore, it only makes sense that we would rent a place instead of committing to a mortgage. But, just because we don't want to buy, that doesn't mean that we want to live in a hovel.
That's where my wife's investigative skills come in to play.
We had been searching for a nice sizable place that would accommodate two adults and one three year old...so, basically four adults (kids' things take up a LOT of space). We looked high and low for months before we randomly stumbled across La Privada on a Google Maps search.
Located just inside Scottsdale Ranch on Via Linda, La Privada Luxury Apartments is absolutely a hidden gem. There are four different floor models available depending on your needs(see photos). Within each floor plan, there are standard and upgraded models (granite countertops, upgraded appliances, etc.) Naturally, the monthly cost for the upgraded models is a little higher, but still...the prices are fantastic considering the square footage and the location. For example: the standard Valencia Townhouse has 1,608 sf. for just over $1100/mo. To me, it almost feels like we're stealing something from them at that price!
The complex itself boasts two swimming pools, a tennis court, and a putting green for its residents to enjoy. The first pool is connected to the leasing office/club house, and it is heated year-round. There's also a hot tub...just in case it's not already hot enough for you on the center of the sun. Around the pool, there are a few cabanas to offer you some respite from the sun and the heat.
The second pool is tucked away in the middle of the complex, and is mostly considered a "lap pool". This pool is NOT heated, but it is by far the least busy of the two pools.
Now, I read a review somewhere that was speaking ill of the management company. That might have been true of the old company, but the new company is fantastic. They took over in June, and have been extremely involved and proactive with regards to service calls, general maintenance, and overall appearance.
The bottom line is this: If you're looking for a great deal on a sizable apartment for a FANTASTIC price, you should absolutely consider La Privada Apartments.
