I read the other two reviews and I don't agree. I can't say that the one that was written in 2007 is wrong because that was quite awhile ago, but I don't agree with the most recent one. I have a very nice apartment. As far as roaches, I haven't seen one yet but they are all over Arizona. They have been around longer than humans so when you choose to live in a state that is known to have bugs, you're gonna see some now & then. I would rather see a roach than a scorpion!All I know is the rent is affordable & in these times I'm grateful for low cost housing. Up until my hours were cut at work, I lived in an expensive apartment & it had roaches. So it really doesnt matter what you pay in rent because they are everywhere. I'm very happy with my apartment & plan on staying for awhile!
