For Christ's sake, cut these people some slack!
Believe it or not, I actually LIKE the stolen shopping carts scattered throughout the grounds! It gives the community a unique "Desert Luxury meets West Harlem" look that you're just not going to get anywhere else in The Valley!
Note: These shopping carts may also serve as transportation in order to haul your oversized beer cooler to Shade's twenty-four hour swimming pool!
I've found that this is also a perfect community for single mothers.
Ladies no longer need to worry about singing their children to sleep. Shade's ghetto fabulous clientele of twenty-something douche bags will be more than happy to ease your infant's insomnia with their drunken pool party sing-alongs. However, if you're unable to acquire a unit near the pool, don't fret! There are plenty of unemployed white trash tenants who crank rap music all night, which coincides with their frequent use of the terms "whoo!" "yeaaahhh!" and my personal favorite - "dawg!"
The cases and cans of beer scattered in the hallways is excellent for those of us interested in a little nostalgia from our college days. In fact, I actually considered nailing a wooden fraternity symbol on the front of my building, but when I asked maintenance if they would hold the ladder while I install it, they responded by saying:
"We don't work. We just play catch with Nerf footballs."
Something else I really enjoy about Shade is the convenience of disposing your trash. Rather than trudging several pounds of waste down the stairs and tossing it into a garbage can, Shade allows you to simply just leave your trash in front of your apartment door! How undeniably cool is this'
It's also important that I give "mad props" to Shade's Courtesy Patrol Crack-Team; a group of savvy motivated personnel whose sole purpose is to strike fear into the hearts of anyone who even so much considers breaching our ironclad noise ordinance rules. I called once to complain and sure enough, within six hours, the music and yelling that is responsible for keeping me up most nights had finally subsided!
The associates at the front office are highly educated individuals who not only boast enormous vocabularies and a genuinely kind-hearted demeanor, but also take great pride in their line of work. This crew truly has the look of a team. The color coordinated outfits, the phony laughs, the strategically placed push-up bras - they are clearly fulfilling the vision that Mark Taylor had for luxury living so many years ago!
My only complaint about Shade at Desert Ridge involves the bizarre age policy that they strictly adhere to when hiring new office employees. Why are they continuing to hire these eighteen year-old hags' We definitely need a younger staff on hand! Why are we discrimnating against children' I'm relatively certain that a fetus in a jar could perform the job just as well as these ancient fogies!
The question at hand is this: Will I renew my lease'
Where are the papers' I'll not only sign it, I'll sign it in my own blood!

Do you know of any decent apartments around here? Me and my sister are looking for a nice place to live and we don't want to deal with what you are saying happens at this place. We've recently looked at these apartments and were considering moving into them...we are both new to Phoenix too...so that doesn't help matters much.
