Not A Great Place To Live

I currently reside at Desert Shadows and I can tell you it is pretty bad here. All of my neighbors just got notices on our doors saying that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we will be having inspections of all our apartments and that we should all do something with our pets.

I think it is pretty cruel to have to lock up our dog in one of our rooms or have him crated while we are at work simply because the management feels the need to have another inspection. Just how many inspections do they have to have'

The letter says inspections will last 3 days and that there is a possibility that the same apartments will be accessed more than once. This means our dog has to be caged or kept in a small space for 3 days while they do inspections. Apparently, the manager of this complex doesn't like animals if they are going to be this cruel.

If they have to access an apartment more than once to do inspections it makes you wonder what they are looking for or if the management really has a brain in their heads. It seems like they announce inspections without any thought to how the residents feel.

The management is pretty bad here and doesn't seem to care about the residents needs. Our dryer broke and we didn't get much help for that. Maintenance also has problems fixing things and always has to do the job more than once. IMO they need new management and maintenance here.

The police are also here on a regular basis and often times we have loud neighbors who blast their stereos late at night without any regard to those around them.

The only good thing about this place is the area which is pretty nice. Everything is close by and the neighbors we do talk to are friendly.
