La'Aldea Apartments: Ignore the guy below (Recommending!)

2008-08-01T17:25:25-06:00

From PepperCam: If you don't have a lot of time to read my entire review here's the deal on La Aldea, it's a safe bet if you don't know the area and it has many conveniences. It IS overpriced but there are a lot of sketchy areas in Tucson and unless you ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Review from a guy who managed thousands of apartment units-GO ELSEWHERE (Not Recommending)

From -Anonymous-: First the nice stuff...nice manager, nice resident assistants, nice maintainance people and nice neighbors and people to live around. THE END.Now the skinny: there are so many apartment places BETTER in Tucson, don't get sucked into the "convenient" to-school-thing. By the time you walk or bike to your class, you'll ...

La'Aldea Apartments: it's not bad (Recommending!)

2007-04-22T05:51:24-06:00

From napolis: i moved here in August of 2006. I had read these comments before moving here...but i decided to risk it because I didn't know anyone here in Tucson. They have improved a lot over the comments that you will find here.

Overall it is a safe place - safer than ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Gotten much better, despite parking woes (Recommending!)

2007-01-09T13:46:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've probably lived here longer than anyone else. Let me say that all the complaints written about the first two years are true. Construction, poor management, over-priced, etc. Grad Students entering in 2003 especially will be bitter since we were sent information from the university that could politely be called ...

La'Aldea Apartments: nice place-but expensive!! (Recommending!)

2007-01-03T10:36:59-06:00

From uofa212: I lived at La Aldea for two years-one year in a one bedroom and one year in a two bedroom. Overall, it's a nice place, fairly new, pretty secure, and convenient. I can't believe how much they charge in rent! Yikes! I think a one bedroom is 790 now. I ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Total Nightmare! (Not Recommending)

2006-03-08T18:15:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Moving here was the biggest mistake! In addition to paying way to much for rent you have to pay for University parking which is $450/year in the Tyndall Garage. Maintenance requests take forever and the front desk staff are totally rude. The property still has issues with electricity and water, ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Consumer BEware (Not Recommending)

2005-08-24T15:40:31-06:00

From -Anonymous-: THis place has management and customer service issues. THey are very selective in who they help and offer good deals too. The rent was expensive compared to local housing but reasonable for location and apt prices. Parking is a nightmare and company has to deal with it to visit you. ...

La'Aldea Apartments: (Not Recommending)

2005-07-12T15:38:39-06:00

From viable.hartman@gmail.com: This was the worst apartment building I have ever stayed in. For the money that they charge, it is utterly ridiculous. Bugs infested my apartment, my apartment got burglarized and nothing was done about it, construction noise woke me up every morning at 7:00, and the management are horribly irresponsible. ...

La'Aldea Apartments: Terrible Living for Grad Students! (Not Recommending)

2005-04-05T00:39:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: La Aldea was a horrible experience. For over a month my mail box hasn't worked and I've made a daily trip into the office to pick it up, that is if it was sorted or they didn't give me attitude. The University took over La Aldea a couple months ago ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Light at the end of the tunnel (Recommending!)

2004-12-15T12:08:43-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I can see the light!! With the University taking over the complex there is nothing but joy to be felt. It seems many positive changes will be made starting in January. No more open door, broken locks, dirty hallways, loud parties, weed, broken beer bottles, and finally some security! Thank ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Good Location (Recommending!)

2004-12-01T12:25:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Ok, La Aldea does have some issues. For instance the closet space and parking issues. But a lot of the complaints are too much. There are a lot of bitter people who live here I think. The so-called "Bog" was aptly named, but it was on U of A property, ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: What a rip off! (Not Recommending)

2004-09-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I got stuck at La Aldea for an entire 12 month lease because I couldn't afford to pay the $800 fee to break the lease. The only nice thing I can say about them is that at least there is free cable with HBO and that the 2 and 4 ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: ha (Not Recommending)

2004-06-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Of course you will feel unwelcomed as an undergrad. This is a very bad side effect of Ambling managment. I appolgize for the way some of my fellow grad students may have acted. We (the graduate students) were told it was grad housing only. Then they let in undergrads. We ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: An undergrad's view (Not Recommending)

2004-05-29T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: As a transfer student coming in spring semester, la aldea attracted me because of its convenience.. plus I didn't know anyone at UofA to live with. The person I was placed with and I are both undergrads and are both quiet people. We like the fact that we don't have ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Time always tells the Truth (Not Recommending)

2004-05-10T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: La Aldea was a great idea. Excellent plan. However, even a $20 million apartment complex can be a disaster without good management.

The students writing on here are quite the opposite of management. They care more than how deep others' pockets are. They care about prospective students and want to see ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: escape (Not Recommending)

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

From -Anonymous-: For the last person who wrote: in the new lease apparently they do not give you the option to escape- no $800 leaving fee :-( ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: They will cheat you on!!! (Not Recommending)

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

From laaldea_friend: If you want to feel like an absolute fool, La Aldea and Co. will provide you an extend opportunity for that! :( And, moreover, if you would like to escape they will charge you at least $800 (and may do that through you university account :(.
So, if you are in ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: A nightmare (Not Recommending)

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

From -Anonymous-: In two words: STAY AWAY.

Besides all the problems we had at the beginning, these are the problems that we currently have:

- Walls are too thin, you can hear the keyboard on the other room
- AC is WAY too loud, took me week to get use to sleep with the sound ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: oh please (Not Recommending)

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

From -Anonymous-: How many times does the staff and La Aldea workers have to post on here? This place is a joke. They now have gone behind everyone's back and are letting in undergrads, which is NOT in the lease. Last year when the Wildcat did an article on the apt complex ...

La'Aldea Apartments: Renewed Grad student (Recommending!)

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

From -Anonymous-: I'm a resident at La Aldea (I've been here since the completion of construction in Aug. 2003) and I recently renewed my lease for the simple fact that this is a fantastic place to live! My friends here have also renewed their leases. It is by far the best compared ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: You've got to be crazy to renew! (Not Recommending)

2004-05-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It doesn't take a bored person to write down a bad review from a place like La Aldea. It takes an honest person to do so and a very caring person to take time from a busy grad student schedule to help other people not make the same mistake one ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Bad, bad, bad (Not Recommending)

2004-05-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: To begin with, the ratings should be made by actual people living in the apartments, not the staff. I've heard the exact words from the Management office over and over again.

Here are some facts for you who are thinking about moving in here. This was suppossed to be graduate ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Renewal resident! (Recommending!)

2004-05-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: How sad it is to see people who have nothing better to do with their boring lives than to try and put a beautiful new community down. I am a renewal resident at La Aldea and know that had it not been for the entire staff working to the best ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Beautiful ! (Recommending!)

2004-05-04T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I understand that the beginning was not the greatest, construction was delayed but so is construction everywhere you go, including the New Park Student union at The University of Arizona. The Apartments are brand new and it's great to live in a place where you are the first resident. The ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Not as bad - worse (Not Recommending)

2004-04-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Ok, so there are a lot of issues that management needs to take care of about things we didn´t get...HOWEVER, has anyone read about the kinds of crapholes the other apartments around here are? A LOT worse than this. I guess we´re lucky to be living here! ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Would recommend - to the worse of my enemies (Not Recommending)

2004-04-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Everyone has mentioned the maintenance guy -Doug- to be a nice. Now stop and think about this, they only mention one guy. That is because there is one single person trying to keep in good shape this place (in full occupancy there should be over 300 people living here -btw, ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: rip-off! (Not Recommending)

2004-04-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It seems as though everything has been covered by the other reviews. I would just like to add that Coronado is LOUD! La Aldea is graduate housing across from the freshman party dorm. More than once I have had to ask the drunken undergrads to be quiet at 3 am ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Do NOT live here! (Not Recommending)

2004-04-11T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: For an international student like me, living in La Aldea is a disappointment. I totally agree to what the other reviewers were saying. I have to add some more to the complaints.

In addition to the bugs, my bathroom has ants! Luckily, they did not travel to the rest of ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Yet another bad review (Not Recommending)

2004-04-10T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: One critique of the several other reviews already posted is that that front office guy, Dan, is nice. I could not possible disagree more. No one in that office shows anything that could be considered courtesy, and one often gets the impression that their sole function is to separate yourself ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Sucks (Not Recommending)

2004-04-10T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I agree with everything that the other residents have previously written, especially the fact that the only good things about La Aldea are Doug, the maintenace guy and Dan, the office guy. Other than that, the only other good thing about La Aldea is that it is convenient because we ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Echoing the bad comments of the rest (Not Recommending)

2004-04-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Since this apartment was new and did a heavy amount of advertising, it pulled in a lot of international and out-of-state students who didnﾴt have the opportunity to come to Tucson before school and look at places. Coming from LA, the rent seemed like a great deal to me. This ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: i would not live here if i had to do it over again (Not Recommending)

2004-04-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartment complex claims to be a "luxury" graduate housing environment. La Aldea is far from luxury. If you are lucky enough to get a $450 parking permit, you at best have to park in the garage and walk to your apartment. Not very homey or luxury. At worst, you ...

La'Aldea Apartments: not worth the money (Not Recommending)

2004-04-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: La Aldea is/was a brand-new apartment building this year, which certainly made it attractive as a convenient living arrangement for a new grad student moving cross-country. However, on arrival I discovered a host of problems. Some of these are simply unfair and the people to move into these apartments during ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Staff wrote the good reviews (Not Recommending)

2004-04-09T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: What does it say about the state of things when the staff feel they need to write good reviews themselves? What do you think it says about the way they feel about this place?

I think is says they will do anything to sucker someone into living here. I think they ... [click to read full apartment review]

La'Aldea Apartments: Read the contract with your lawer before you sign. (Not Recommending)

2004-04-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Generally speaking, La Aldea is a fair place because it's brand new. That's the only good thing about it.

Because this apartment is built in a hurry, some paint on wall have already started chipping off since the first day. And the floor even is not flat at all.Under the first ... [click to read full apartment review]
