"When reading through these reviews you might be thinking \"Oh it's not that bad, these are just some former disgruntled residents.\" But no, it is that bad. This apartment complex has 1.5/5 stars for a reason. If you are a student considering living there I HIGHLY recommend any of the other numerous student apartment complexes in the area such as The District, 922 Place, Vertex or University House. They are around the same price and I promise you will have a much better experience.\n\nLet's start with the biggest issue this place has especially considering it is geared towards students. The internet does not work, as other reviews can attest. Sure maybe it worked when you googled something while walking through on your tour but don't count on it to do homework, watch Netflix or adult videos! That's the worst when you're mid sesh and then the internet goes out! DAMN IT! When Boulevard 1900 bought this place (Formerly the Domain) they promised to fix the internet along with making a lot of other upgrades to the property. But it's been almost a year and still nothing. I think I'm starting to notice a pattern.\n\nThe next major issue for me during my year long stint at this complex was security. If you are a college student who likes to party (AYYYYYYY) you can count on constantly being harassed by security whenever you're listening to loud music or have reports of a strange herby aroma coming from your room. Weird. They claim they are there for our safety, but I feel pretty safe already idk what I need protection from. They are just there to bust parties.\n\nJust today I received a letter in the mail with all the additional charges to my account since I've moved out. Before I list these please know that my room was in good condition, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. Carpet clean bedroom $40, Common area paint $25, Couch damage $33, Full Bedroom/Bathroom Clean $50, Full Paint in Bedroom $95, Replace Drip Pans $4 and Small Wall Repair $40. I don't have time or room to go through each of these charges in detail but basically nothing was wrong or broken in my apartment, just normal wear and tear. During turn (When everyone moves out at the end of July and before new people come in on August 15) the maintenance staff paints and cleans every room as should be. So why am I being charged for this? So I am currently out $287 that I shouldn't be. So if you do live here expect around $300 worth of charges upon move out.\n\nThose were my biggest issues, but now let's touch on some things I read in other reviews. Yes, maintenance can enter your room at any time. Yes, there are lots homeless people digging through the dumpsters but hey that's downtown Tempe for ya, gotta love it. That problem should actually go away because now they have a trash compactor instead of dumpsters. Apparently they were breaking fire code for years by having dumpsters in fire lanes but just got caught so they were forced to get a compactor lol. True gates are rarely locked and even if they are people prop them open. Remotes for the TVs rarely work. That's an obscure one. I like how in Autumns review she specifies the intruder to be a \"Spanish speaking lady\" as if that were a relevant detail haha. Yes, they do quarterly inspections idk what to say about that. And the move in/out process could be improved. They have carts that they could allow residents to use, but don't for some reason. They probably enjoy watching you carry your shit everywhere in the hot sun instead of using a cart. Sadists. Yes, they have recently made the payment process more difficult with a $14.50 \"Convenience Fee\". Oh and here's a fun one, yes shots were fired on the property a few months ago. I knew the guy, good kid.\n\nLet's acknowledge the only positive review. A 4-Star review from David S. \"Great place to live, currently came under new management.\" David has just confused the word 'currently' with 'recently'. Can you trust someone who doesn't know how to properly use the word 'currently'? No, that is all.\n\nIf you're thinking hey this guys biased, he didn't talk about any pros! Calm down that's not the case, I didn't talk about any pros because there are none. Sure there's decent amenities and there's bound to be some hot girls living here but there are better amenities and hotter girls at the other apartments I listed at the beginning! Please do yourself a favor and do not live here. It will undoubtedly be the worst mistake of your life which will be the first misstep leading you down a long and dark path of pain and misery. SAVE YOURSELF!\n\nAlso here is a quick yelp review of yelp. Why are some reviews \"not recommended\"? I believe all reviews should be treated equal. Equality!! Seriously tho.... It makes no sense\n\nI hope you found this review helpful because I spent almost an hour writing it.\n\nSincerely,\n\nA former and unhappy resident\n\nP.S. sorry for how long it is I tend to drag on.
