I have lived at prairie hills for over a year and there are pros and cons as to any apartment living. I will list them individually.
PROS...
-Big apartment
-Nice amentities (if you get an apartment with them avail)
-Maintenance staff is nice
-Closed Gate (but a con if only one access key)
-Location (near 1-40)
-Good views (city and mountains)
-close to bike trail (on tramway)
CONS
-Office staff not very helpful.
-Having to repeatedly call office for same situation to resolve issues.
-No nearby grocery shopping-although that is not their fault.
-Some of the appliances in the apartments are cheap and fall apart easily.
-The cleaning the apartments do after someone leaves is low effort and could use improvement. (ex:the carpets still have stains, broken drawers, etc..)
-Pool hours should be increased since it is key entry and no life gaurd on duty at ANYTIME anyway.
-The front gate needs a local (505) area code number to get access *BAD for out of state and only alloted one gate key.
