When I first visited this complex, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The complex and model apartments looked very well-kept and appealing as well. However, as soon as I saw my assigned apartment, everything went south from there. My apartment was pretty worn down--awful stained carpet, significant water-damage under the sink, old flooring, the world's crappiest mattress, furniture that reaked of weed, and yellow-tinted walls in need of paint (previous tenants were likely very smokers). I forget to mention the best part...the bug infestation. I had to throw a fit in the office every day to get their pest guy to spray my apartment. The A/C is not very good either, which is unacceptable if you are living in Tucson during the summer. Since Arizona Commons II also turns off the A/C during the late fall to early spring months, my apartment felt like an oven. The laundry facilities are so nasty too. The washers and dryers are never kept clean-there is hair and soap scum everywhere. However, I can admit the staff has done a better job at wiping down machines lately. The wireless Internet service is pretty pathetic. I get a weak signal from my living room or bedroom . So I have to either go outside or wake up 4 in the morning to finish up a homework assignment. It has been extremely difficult to be a student without a reliable Internet service. I've been pretty vocal about my concerns for the Internet service, but the staff didn't show any intent of fixing the problem. I regret signing my lease, and I hope future tenants will be extremely cautious before renting at this complex.
I also believe the positive comments posted on this website are very misleading. In the December 2010 and January 2011, I saw that management was offering $10 bucks off rent for every tenant who wrote something positive about their experiences at this apartment complex. I'm not lying. They were trying to bribe us to write something nice. Also note how most of the positive reviews were posted in December 2010 and January 2011.
Seriously, do not sign your lease! I overpaid for this craphole. Do your research first and don't make the same mistake.
