2007-03-27T18:19:08-06:00

From -Anonymous-: These apartments are the most overpriced units in Tempe. Biggest complaint is the noise. It's right by the airport so you're interrupted every two minutes when a plane flies over.

2006-06-09T18:02:14-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Incompetent counsultants. The shuttle van runs when it wants forcing residents to take taxis from Tempe and Scottsdale back home. Very fake customer service. When you visit the complex and sign the lease, the ladies are generous. Once you become a resident, customer service is out the window. The movie ... [click to read full apartment review]

From nitzer000@yahoo.com: This message board is like any other complaint site.

The Lofts at Rio Salado (formerly Trillium at Rio Salado): What train? (Not Recommending)

2006-05-01T15:23:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: You'd think that with this complex and the concern for noise, you'd focus on the airport traffic above...VERY WRONG! There's a train that travels along the whole apartment complex at various hours of the night! Unless you love the harmoneous sound of the train whistle...don't live here.

Another issue, long-story-short, COMPLETELY ... [click to read full apartment review]

From -Anonymous-: Trillium at Rio Salado is, far and away, the worst place that I have ever lived.

From -Anonymous-: In conclusion, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere. First off, the front desk staff is comprised of a bunch of bitches who don't care about any of the residents.

From kurtzyload: I'm currently at Trillium, and will be moving out in January.
