I've lived here 16 months, and I really have no idea what half the other posters are talking about. I don't remember a single notice about crime, other than the one about the incident on the news last spring. There is a heavy minority population and lots of kids, so if that bothers you, then look elsewhere. The staff is just like that at any other large apartment complex that has to deal with a corporate owner - they have 500 units to deal with, and they don't always have authority to fix your problem right then. I've stopped being annoyed with this because I've had the same problem at the last four complexes I've lived in - it's by far better than the ever-changing morons at my last place. At least this place is actually open when I'm not at work and they take packages for you.

I will agree that there does not seem to be any parking near the front of the complex, and the hottubs seem to always be broken.

The best parts of this place are the units and the location. We live in the 2 bdrm townhome, which has a garage and big closets and feels enough like a home that we don't pine for a house that we can't afford yet. The location is far enough north to avoid most of the Ahwatukee traffic if you commute downtown, yet you're 5 minutes from any shop or restaurant you need. You can walk to South Mountain to hike. I looked at probably 20 places in the southeast valley before moving, and this was by far the best combination of layout and neighborhood. If the staff is more important to you, then more power to you, but they really don't impact my life nearly so much.

This says it all. Apartment living in the Phoenix metro area is the pits. Not one of them is any better than the next.
