I lived in this complex for 27 months.
Pros:
close to ASU.
Cons:
* Every year the rent increased by 50 dollars.
* Not enough bike racks. My bike got stolen there.
* Maintenance response is very slow.. takes up to 3 days sometimes.
* Their central air conditioning is very old and consumes a lot of energy (Electric bill in the summer goes up to $175 for a one bedroom, setting the thermostat to 78 degrees. In both summers I lived there the AC stopped cooling and the maintenance showed their incompetency by taking about a whole month and 4 work orders to fix the issue. In the beginning they tried to convince me that nothing was wrong. At the end I insisted they change the thermostat and it fixed the problem. I FIXED it for them, they had no desire in even trying to figure out what the problem was.
* Their infrastructure do not support Cable TV or Cable Internet. You're forced to get either Satellite TV/Internet or DSL Internet.
* They will rip you off when you move out by taking all your security deposit and sending you a bill for damages that are normal wear and tear. and they will charge you for cleaning the carpet and the apartment no matter what!!!!!!!! and will send you a letter saying if you don't pay the bill will go to a collection agency to ruin your credit!
* BEWARE OF COCKROACHES.. This place is infested with cockroaches like no one's business. In the summer they will attack your apartment. I keep my apartment clean and take the trash out all the time. I even have them spray it every week and couldn't stop them. They told me I should use a sink and a bathtub stoppers all the time. In fact, that helped but I'm a human and I forget sometimes to do that resulting in a massive cockroach attack. Their sewer system is infested with cockroaches. AVOID AT ALL COST!
I WILL NEVER ADVISE A FRIEND TO LIVE THERE. THEY'RE MUCH BETTER PLACES IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE. I MOVED TO A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR THE SAME PRICE.. I WISH I DIDN'T EXTEND MY CONTRACT WITH THEM. FACT IS I WAS TOO LASY TO MOVE OUT BUT AFTER TWO YEARS I THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH!!!
