Resident 2012 - 2014

7/6/2014

I am a young woman who lives alone and attends the U of A so safety was a big factor in my decision to stay here. (The tucson crime maps prove that this area consistently has less assult incidents than the other parts of town such as 4th avenue and Park avenue) The maintenance man, Ken, is AWESOME. He is really friendly and takes care of the property with all his heart (to the point where he fills in the pot holes himself with gravel). If you ever need anything fixed, he is always out and about and easy to find. If you have a bike DO NOT KEEP IT OUTSIDE. I have had 4 different bikes get stolen here, with a whole variety of bike locks tried (Yes even the U-lock). Pros: I like Capistrano because its quiet, clean, cost-effective, safe, and close to the U of A campus and whole foods. I would recommend it to anyone. The maintenance and staff are cordial, fun, and host get-to-know-you type events with free food outside. The residents are typically small families with small kids or students who keep to themselves. The pool is heated and you get it all to yourself much of the time. Cons: The Laundry room is not in the units and you gotta haul your laundry down stairs and across the property (Good exercise though, right?). The decor is old and dated with popcorn ceilings, beige carpet, and white walls. Its kind of modest in that way (which I kinda like). Because the building is so old, minor things happen (my dishwasher leaked once, the sliding glass door gets stuck, and my cabinet once fell off because I slammed it with some force, some cement steps crumbled away) All of which have been promptly fixed by the maintenance man free of charge. To conclude, Capistrano is a reasonable place to stay at, with warm and attentive staff, what more could you ask for?
