| - Just moved in July 2, 2015. Relocated from the Baltimore/DC area and am thoroughly impressed. I was able to complete all of the required paperwork and make all of my pre move in payments online prior to my arrival. When I arrived, I signed two pieces of paperwork and was in my apartment (after a short tour, of course). I got a really nice, unexpected goodie bag complete with a handwritten welcome note, bottled water, a cool, Tervis-like cup, popcorn, and magnets. :)
The grounds are gorgeous and the maintenance team takes great care to ensure that they stay that way. I found a few things that needed repairs or attention during my move in inspection and had maintenance at my door the next morning (there was nothing requiring immediate attention). Both gentlemen were extremely nice, personable, and got all of the things I listed taken care of quickly and without incident.
The community is gated which is also a nice plus. You will receive a key fob that grants you access through the vehicle and pedestrian gates, as well as the clubhouse, mail room, pool, and gym. Your guests can look you up at a call box located outside of the gate and the box calls your cell phone so you can grant them gate access. Convenient!
Don't be put off by the complex's proximity to the 101. I live in a location in the complex very close to the highway and cannot hear a thing from inside my apartment. The walkways, paths, and hallways to the apartments are all well lit and I have always felt safe while walking through the complex. It is also very quiet. No thumping music or people partying until dawn. It's surprisingly quite serene!
The mailboxes are located in the clubhouse and is accessible 24 hours a day as well as the gym and bathrooms.
The pool isn't huge, but is beautiful and has tons of loungers, cabanas, firepits, and misters. They even have BBQ grills next to the pool and a large eating area (there are additional gas grills and seating set ups strewn throughout the complex too). I am pretty sure the pool is 24 hours as well, but don't quote me on it.
Keone and the rest of the Seven staff are amazing. I have been going through hell with the company I hired to move my stuff and am basically living with nothing but an air mattress and three changes of clothes. I had to go into the office to sign another document and was explaining my situation to the staff. They were ridiculously sympathetic and even offered to lend me pots, pans, and anything else I would need from their own homes. Fortunately, I have some good friends here who are helping me out until my stuff gets here, but I thought I would add this into my review to show just how compassionate and kind the staff here are.
A few things you may wish to consider: 1) parking is limited. You are assigned one space under a covered awning. If you have more than one vehicle, the other must park in an uncovered, unassigned guest spot (which can sometimes be difficult to find, especially on weekends). Unless you live on the third floor, your assigned spot will be nowhere near your apartment. The majority of the covered parking is on the opposite side of the complex from where I live. That means hauling groceries quite a distance and making multiple, long trips. I asked to be moved to a closer spot, but was told that the developers of the complex made the parking plans based on the floor you live on, not the location of your building. I bought a collapsible wagon and tote my purchases that way, but it really can be a pain. If there was ANYTHING I would deduct a star for here, that would be it, but I'm not disabled in any way and am really just being fickle (apologies). No stars off because I am admittedly a tad bit lazy and not acclimated to the heat!
2) Don't park in an assigned spot if it's not yours. Management does enforce towing.
3) There are no overhead lights in the bedrooms or living room, so bring lamps! (The kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and dining area are all equipped with overhead lights).
4) I can hear the person above me stomping around during the day and can also hear when the shower is on upstairs, but can't hear televisions or voices. I lived in an atrociously old, loud building in MD prior to moving here, so I am not bothered by this at all, but for someone who isn't used to hearing noise from neighbors or that may be bothered by this, you'd probably want to know.
5) Every month, you receive a bill with your rent, water, trash, and pest control rolled into one bill (water is on an individual meter, not billed as a building share). You can pay online with an e-check (free) or by credit card (I think it's a $5.00 convenience fee/charge). Electricity is billed by APS and you are required to set that up and show proof to Seven prior to move in.
Overall, I couldn't be happier living here and thank my lucky stars that I picked Seven Apartments as my first place in Phoenix. I can see myself living here for a very long time.
