    When I lived here the building was disgusting and Eric Laidlow is a liar. Do not trust anything that he says as he will lie to your face. I would NEVER EVER live here again. Homeless strolling the area all the time. I was accosted… See More >

      Staff was too lazy to even show me the property. Drove in asked for a viewing, they said "we did 12 tours today". I don't care how many tours you did, that's your job. Staff is very rude. They then have the nerve to ask… See More >

        I don't understand the 1 star reviews. This place isn't that bad. My neighbors were pretty awful. Office staff gets a 2 for not really doing anything about it. I know I was not the only one to complain. They also weren't really friendly but… See More >

          Like the other negative review here, I also live in E building (which is separated by the overpass) and have found the overall upkeep and maintenance of our side has been rapidly decreasing since the current management company, Alliance Residential, took ownership. Our gates are… See More >

            Elevators have been broken over 45 days of the past year... for over a week this time, and for over a month previously.

              I lived here for 2 years and just moved out. Pros: Good location. Along the light rail. 10 min drive to my work and 10 min drive to Scottsdale/Arcadia region.. Cons: -The biggest con is the staff and management. Be aware that this place is incredibly unhelpful… See More >

                  First, the good things: 1) There is plenty of room in the apartment. 2) The mailboxes are in the parking garage area of each apartment. 3) The carpet in our apartment was new on move in (though it already had paint spilled on it -- though how, I… See More >

                    The noise from the airplanes can get annoying at time. I am a very light sleeper and got used to it pretty quickly. The location for me was good since i worked so close. It was a pain in the butt living so… See More >

                      These apartments are located conveniently underneath the flight path of Sky Harbor airport as well as right next to some freight train tracks (and the trains are kind enough to blare their horns every time they go by at 2am, which in the year I've… See More >

                        The apartments are generously sized, the buildings and parking are fairly secure, and the location is good for easy transport links. However they are quite noisy, right under the Sky Harbor approach path, and squeezed between the Light Rail and a train track (at least… See More >

                            While the apartment it self was a nice place that was regularly up-kept, I had a horrible time with the staff. 6 different times I had to go into the office to re-sign leases because they had made mistakes or forgotten to include information, the… See More >
