Pros: In terms of amenities in the surrounding area, it is fantastic. All my errands are 5 minutes away. I can walk to the gym. The 51 is super close. Phoenix Mountain Preserve is nearby. The rent [was] exceptionally affordable for what you get (but that is changing now due to tight rental market). Staff has always been responsive, intelligent, customer service oriented. Maintenance is timely and spot on with stuff I needed. Very clean, outside is kept up well too, no real issues with bugs, etc. Cons: Although they don't take section 8, there were some people living around me who I could not fathom how they afforded this place. I guess you never get away from slacker-types no matter where you go. Covered parking is totally f*cked up, there aren't enough nearby spaces for the constructed density, and of everyone around me I got jacked and ended up with a space on the opposite side of another building--and management refused to change this. It IS also somewhat noisy outside during the work week with car alarms, landscape caretakers, and garbage trucks going by--a tradeoff for the convenience of high density civilization around you, I guess. My major issue was the poor noise insulation between units above and below--I've gone almost out of my mind in the last two years during the winter months hearing my upstairs neighbors walking around and dropping ---- or whatever. In the winter (Nov-Mar) the cold seems to make the floorboards crack and creak constantly like no tomorrow, like I've never heard anywhere before! I can hear just about every footstep someone takes...it has been maddening at times. The bathrooms aren't too soundproof either, but just hearing running water wasn't such a distraction compared to the unabiding movements of the upstairs neighbor.
