I recently moved out in July 2025 and wanted to share my most honest experience. This was my third apartment in Phoenix, and while I originally planned to stay for two years, I chose not to renew the lease.
Visually, the complex looks great — the building design is modern and the online photos are accurate. But unfortunately, looks can be deceiving. For the rent you're paying, there are better-managed options in the area.
Maintenance Team:
The maintenance team was hands down the best part of living here. They were friendly, quick to respond, and genuinely cared. One team member even offered to drive 45 minutes at 1 a.m. to help fix an issue. The maintenance team and emergency team were always easy to work with for me.
Management & Office Staff:
Unfortunately, the office staff was the complete opposite of maintenance — consistently unresponsive. If you’re out of town or far from the apartment, good luck getting calls or emails answered. Your best bet is to visit the office in person and make sure they document any of your request. If that still doesn’t work, contact corporate — once they get involved, things finally start moving.
A/C Problems:
My A/C went out in May 2025 just before I flew home, and it took weeks for the office to send someone. Despite multiple calls, the office didn’t respond. In early June, a maintenance worker called to say the A/C had been replaced. I flew back a week later to check — but the A/C still wasn’t working, and my unit was in bad shape. It was 90°F inside, with dirt, stains, broken blinds (which I was charged for), and no real repairs done.
A portable A/C was given as a temporary fix, but I lived in 90°F conditions for three days. My electric bill spiked over $100, and the portable unit leaked all over the carpet. Before this, the A/C had leaked and flooded my laundry room twice despite “repairs.” The whole experience was exhausting and avoidable.
***Despite the inconvenience, additional costs, and time spent in an unlivable unit, I was never offered any reimbursement or compensation. At most professionally managed apartments — especially those marketed as luxury — it’s common to offer hotel accommodations or a gift card to help cover temporary housing, food, or transportation. That never happened here.***
Apartment Quality, Cleanliness, and Safety :
For a “luxury” apartment, the quality was disappointing. Walls with stains were clearly just painted over, and the baseboards were so cheap they peeled from wiping. When I moved in, I found dead cockroaches despite being told the unit was “professionally cleaned.” The apartment also smelled like weed, even though it’s a non-smoking community. Security was weak — gates were often broken, making it easy for outsiders to enter. Common areas were poorly maintained, with dog waste and trash frequently left around. Overall, the complex didn’t feel clean or well cared for.
* Apartment Unit: 6/10 (Nice design, but several flaws)
* Living Environment: 3/10 (Dog waste, weed smell, poor upkeep)
* Staff/Office: 1/10 (Unresponsive, no follow-through)
* Maintenance: 10/10 (Excellent service and reliability)
* Amenities: 6/10 (Very basic but functional)
* Parking: 7/10 (Tight spots but livable)
* Security: 3/10 (non-residence can easily get access anywhere except the gym or lounge)
I understand that everyone’s experience can be different, and I truly wish mine had gone better. I had high hopes when paying a premium for what was marketed as a “luxury” apartment, but the management, service, and overall quality fell short. If you decide to live here, I hope your experience is better — but I strongly recommend touring in person, reading recent reviews, and doing your research. With the price point they charge, you can find other communities in Phoenix that deliver a true “luxury” experience, with well-kept grounds and staff who are responsive and genuinely care about residents.
