Ascend at Red Mountain

Pros:
-Granite countertops are real
-In unit washer/dryer
-Most units are North/South facing so the summer sun isn’t too bad
-Close to stores/restaurants
-Good cell service (Verizon at least)
-Handicap accessible units (limited parking though)
Cons:
-Whole place appears to be built on a slant. Door slam automatically which shakes the whole hallway.
-Maintenance pressure washes the hallways every now and then which only seeps water through my door into my kitchen and makes the hallway smell like... wet dog poop, never actually cleaning any gum/stains off the floor.
-The cabinets are almost cardboard quality. I’ve had to fix 3 cabinet doors myself because maintenance is just about useless.
-One side of my sink is permanently blocked because maintenance refuses to replace my garbage disposal, they just keep hitting the reset switch.
-I have to park near the front office (my unit is near the rear of the complex) because there isn’t enough parking. The office sent an email saying they were looking for parking solutions but that was months ago. When I complained to the office they told me to rent one of the parking spots under the SE building but the next opening wouldn’t be available for 6 months.
-Of the limited parking they do have available, they barely fit any vehicles larger than a compact so if you’ve got kids in the back seat you can forget about it.
-The dumpsters are always overflowing because, like the parking spots, they don’t have enough to support the amount of people living here.
-Kids constantly play in the hallways which kids will be kids so it’s understandable but the walls are so thin that you can hear every little thing and it’s like having a playground in my living room.
-There is laminate flooring (not “hardwood” like the ad says) in every apartment, including the upstairs units. It looks nice and offers that luxury look but it sucks when you can hear every little step your upstairs neighbors make. Most apartments have carpet in the upper units to prevent that issue.
Long story short these are lower mid-level apartments that claim to be luxury just because you get a polished rock for a countertop (kitchen only, bathroom is fake). It’s a decent place for short term living like if you’re between selling and buying a home, but this place is very from from somewhere I’d like to live long term. Read More
