Its good but not luxury....Think before you pay this much
Before I wrote this I spent a lot of time gathering information and thoughts so please read it all !!
First let me explain the pros of living at Artessa formally the lodge at arrowhead now owned by alliance
The Property is for the most part is beautiful
It is a super quiet community
The people in the office are friendly
The maintenance guys are great best i have seen
The apartment are spacious and very soundproof from the neighbors
Great pool area and amenities
Now the cons please keep in find as I write this some of these things are being fixed however halfway there is not done and i will continue to edit this when and if these item are fixed. also keep in mind Artessa is advertised as a LUXURY apartment complex so to me that says its all in the details
the apartment
While some things are being upgraded in the apartment ours has not no if you move into one of these expect basic appliances and fixtures IE old track lighting very basic washer dryer fridge ect. not the ones in the demo apartment
also expect around 150.00 to be added onto your rent as these are the hidden fees including water, curbside trash just added at a mandatory 35.00 a month costs, taxes, pest control,ect
The amenities
all the amenities are great the Himalayan Salt room, Lounge area, movie theater, and game room but if you are a normal person who works 8-5 these will not be available to you except on Sat and Sun. as all these features as only open when the office is. And since the back area which includes the Himalayan Salt room, Lounge area, and movie theater is available for private party rentals (for a mere 150.00) if it is rented on sat or sun your out of luck using any of them
*Update* I have been told that the above listed items are being upgraded to make them 24hr to be completed at the earliest march 2016 but more likely June 2016
The pool area is very nice it has all new furniture and cabanas However the jets in the spa have never worked since we moved here in July 2015 and there is no sign of it being fixed anytime soon
also there seems to be a cleaning issue around the pool area the gas grill and sink are always dirty
and there is trash in the rocks around the pool that sits sometimes for weeks. remember luxury is all in the detail
So will I continue to rent here I am undecided at this point because it is on the top end of apartments
prices in this area I am at a wait and see But like i said This is all the truth so all do is let you decide
