| - I've lived at this property for over 5 years. When I first moved in it was owned by Mark Taylor and it was a really cool community to be a part of. The complex recently changed ownership and the new owner, Weidner Apartment Homes let the whole place go to hell.
The new staff is beyond incompetent. Service requests that used to take a few hours, now take a few days. They will show up and enter your apartment without your permission or valid reason. It's really intrusive and unprofessional.
In addition to the problematic staff, the apartments themselves are poorly made. The tile cracks if you step on it too hard. The cabinets (which seem to be covered in some kind of linoleum) warp when the stove is in use. The refrigerator ice maker takes a monthly 4 week siesta. The microwave joins him. You get the idea.
When I decided to terminate my lease after 5 years, the complex insisted on doing a walk through, a week before I moved. This means that 3 staff members get to walk through my apartment, while I'm packing, and evaluate the condition, even though that will happen again after I move out. Did I mention that they are beyond intrusive?
After I left, I was charged for over $1200 worth of cleaning work. Wow, I must be one dirty pig to cause that much grossness to a 1100 sqft loft. They charged me for cleaning and shampooing the carpet.... They then charged me for replacing it. Why a person or a company would clean and shampoo a carpet they intend on replacing is beyond my scope if intellect. I was also charged for a paint job, this is after I painted the entire apartment with the paint that the front office provided me. Absolutely ridiculous. Furthermore, my cleaning lady of 5 years had a good chuckle when I showed her the invoice for "cleaning labor hours" that Weidner sent me. Unless they were hiring SAG actors to do this work, I cannot comprehend the cost.
Overall I would caution any potential resident to look elsewhere. Yes the complex is gorgeous, but it is definitely not worth it. Downtown Phoenix's rental loft market is expanding and I'm sure that there are better options out there. Even right next door to Skyline a new loft building just popped up, try that instead.Stay away, this place sucks in the long run. #byefelicia
