Overall Alta is a great place to live.
Pros:
-The property in general is nice and well-maintained
-Great pool and common areas (clubhouse, conference room, rooftop patio)
-Layout and design of our apartment
-Bluetooth speakers in the apartment
-Noise was rarely an issue within our apartment
-Package delivery to the office when no one is home
-Good central location
-Covered parking
-Ample gym facility
-Friendly and responsive staff
-Trash pick-up service
Cons:
-Parties from time to time (drinking, smoking cigs/weed smell, noise)
-Garbage. Often times there was trash on the ground that was steps away from a trash can, so it was frustrating that people didn't have the decency to throw something away. I really can't pin this on the staff at Alta, in general they do a good job of keeping the place clean, but it's difficult for staff to keep up when this littering occurs almost daily. It seems there are residents, or perhaps friends of residents who are visiting, at Alta that are still used to having someone pick up for them
I went on a bit of a rant in the cons section because the trash was an annoying factor of living at Alta, but ultimately I found this is a pleasant place to live.
Thank you for the positive experience, Alta Tempe.
