2008-09-15T19:05:03-06:00

From confounded22: So the apartment I first moved into had roaches that would not go away despite the apartment being bombed twice so the office finally said they'd let us move to another apartment in a different building, swearing that just our apartment was the problem.

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Gross (Not Recommending)

2007-11-24T05:39:59-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Day I moved in there were dead bugs all over the kitchen.

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Great Location! (Recommending!)

2007-10-28T12:43:52-06:00

From Saguaro475@hotmail.com: This complex is close to the 101 and I-17. It is also within walking distance of 3 grocery stores, Target and several bus stops, among other things. My pet peeve is that the lighting is very poor. The swimming pool area, in particular, is pitch black at night, which is ... [click to read full apartment review]

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Satisfactory (Recommending!)

2007-06-18T12:05:50-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Apartments are older but provide large living area and are affordable. Keep in mind that the show apartments do NOT look like the one you will be living in (worse).

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Decent Place to Live (Recommending!)

2006-11-03T17:00:53-06:00

From Saguaro475: I have resided at Desert homes twice. First time was in the late '80's and in the 2-bedroom section, which was very noisy due to all the children in that section.

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Great Place to Live! (Recommending!)

2006-01-01T05:01:49-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I was really impressed with the staff. They made it clear that they screened their applicants thorougly in which they did. I witnessed several people turned down because of criminal/credit issues. No pitbulls allowed and liability insurance is mandatory.

The 1-bedrooms are huge. My queen sized bed hardly takes up any ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-02-05T00:39:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We lived there several years ago and it was a nightmare. Our neighbors had to be drug dealers.

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Who would move here in the first place? (Not Recommending)

2004-05-23T00:00:00-06:00

From emricex@yahoo.com: Unless you are from out of town, or recieving Section 8, I have no idea why anyone would in their right minds move into the Sands. It is the butt of all North Phoenix apartment lore. I lived there for a summer with a friend, but I owned nothing of ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-11-03T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Let´s open this up with the positives. If you do not work nights, if you are completely deaf, and/ or if you are a scumbag, you will positively love Reminton Place, formerly the Sands.

This place has lowered its rent and the low-lifes are flooding in. After a feeble attempt ... [click to read full apartment review]

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Constant remodels and new gates are a huge noise problem, rent elsewhere (Not Recommending)

2003-08-22T00:00:00-06:00

From TheHomeOwnerFormallyKnownAsTenant: Worst problem is noise, mostly created by their maintenance staff and their gates--some tenants as well. Second worst problem is their inability to complete a work order without call-backs. Followed by their constant desire to barge in to the units--with or without permission. The next main problem is a constant ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-04-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Staff are all jerks. My apartment got broken into(actually they just unlocked the door) because they never changed the locks.

Desert Homes (formerly The Sands): Do NOT move here! (Not Recommending)

2002-12-27T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Poor maintenance of apartments and grounds. Dangerous area with a lovely park nearby completely devoid of anything but grass; however, good to take dog to do his/her duty. Many felons live here, some on probation. I would not recommend this complex. The price is, however, not too bad if you ... [click to read full apartment review]
