For the price you pay, choose somewhere else. It is nestled in between strip clubs, adult boutiques and sketchy motels. We were great tenants and never complained about our cars being broken into (two times), our medication being stolen, my brand new car getting dented on BOTH side doors the first night it was parked in the parking lot there, the fact that the pool has raging parties all summer until 4 in the morning with our sleeping baby even though the pool closes at "11 pm", that dog poo is constantly EVERYWHERE, that we paid a premium to be be next to the pool/hot tub and couldn't even use it for half the time (because in Sept. it gets freezing and they don't heat it and then the hot tub lights went out for part of our stay.)
Palms on Scottsdale has left a very bad taste in our mouth! We payed a premium to have a SIX month lease. When we signed up, they had us sign our lease very quick and did not go over the fact that they need a notice in addition to the lease when you move out. Obviously we should have read everything in the lease, but they also should have made us aware, and I don't think most people read leases front to back perfectly. We were upfront from the beginning that we only wanted to stay six months and because we were unaware that we had to do something other than let our lease expire, we are stuck paying rent (in addition to a mortgage now) even though our lease expired. This is a bad way to make money, especially since we TOTALLY would've given notice if they ever told us that was the policy.
It was nice being close to the freeway, but you pay too much to be duped into paying large fees and having other disadvantages. Two thumbs down and so disappointed.
