My wife and I have lived here for about 9 months now and have had absolutely zero problems. Instead of ranting I have provided pros and cons for your viewing pleasure:
Pros:
-Beautiful complex
-Beautiful apartment interiors
-Location is unbelievable (10 minutes from ASU, 10 minutes from old town, 10 minutes from Sky Harbor)
-Awesome amenities (pool, gym, gas grills, etc)
-Offer trash valet
-Provided driver
-Quick maintenance response time
-Management team has not changed (yet)
Cons:
-Expensive (it IS a Mark-Taylor in Scottsdale, so not very surprising)
-Parking is a nightmare
-Noise...we are on the third floor so we have not been bothered by noise, but we have gotten a few visits from our downstairs neighbor when all we were doing was walking normally
-Entitled renters (rich Scottsdale-ites who are too good to pick up after their dogs...luckily maintenance does a great job keeping the place clean)
-Minor appliance issues (AC broke due to shorted wires, water does not get cold in summer or hot in winter)
I moved to Phoenix from Tucson 4 years ago, and have lived in a different apartment complex each year. So far this is the best one, and we are planning on renewing our lease. I'm so excited to not move!
