- PWPeggy WardOct 28, 20254.0The Commons have the MOST kind and helpful front office help. It's rare and so appreciated.
- MCMarcelina CollinsOct 17, 20253.0Plumbing is a constant issue, even though we have put in multiple work orders. There are ants and spiders no matter how hard we try to keep them out. The location is nice. However parking is a nightmare.
- BEBrynn EdnieOct 7, 20255.0Very fast and efficient!
- JWjay wishOct 2, 20251.0I lived at the commons for around 3 years. The staff is nice and seems to genuinely want to help you but the owners (which changed within my stay) are extremely greedy. The rent is equivalent to nicer and newer apartments when the apartments themselves are outdated. Renovations did happen within my stay but during the renovations they left my apartment gutted for a whole weekend. My rent increased every lease and the same room I was in is 200$ cheaper for new tenants. This company has shady pricing practices so if you want to stay here I don’t recommend staying beyond your first lease.
- LVLiliana ValadezAug 4, 20252.0I would not recommend for any college students living in flagstaff to live here. Although you may think the location is ideal, for the price you are paying it is absolutely not worth it. There are practically no amenities here besides a very small gym and a grill. Management takes quite a bit of time to respond to maintenance requests, some never being completed in the entire time living there. Utilities for this complex are insane and are almost incomparable to other college apartments, as they are much cheaper. Also, the move out charges are overinflated so I would highly recommend inspecting those to see if they actually match the damages. Please stay safe of this predatory apartment complex!
