Slate Scottsdale Apartments

What fool decided it was a good idea to switch payment processors RIGHT BEFORE payment was due, cancelling all auto-payments?

Management seems to care, until there is actually a problem. BOTH systems should've worked this month, or WAIT until the start of the new billing period. But in typical Slate fashion, they did it in the worst way possible - drop the update with no prior warning or notice. Bad at overall communication.

"Amenities" are constantly broken, elevators barely work - their... solution is that we have stairs. Amenities used to be 24 hours and have been reduced drastically, (others being completely removed).

Maintenance requests go unanswered, doors don't work, door handles around the property are falling off. BASIC upkeep is not hard, and would be nice.

Parking is beyond ridiculous. Their "solution" is to charge RESIDENTS to park. Surrounding properties tow anyone that parks there from Slate. If you have a car (or friends) and are thinking about moving here, seriously, SERIOUSLY consider whether you want to put up with this mess. Take a look around the property and count the number of uncovered spots, you can easily do that before even attempting to talk to the office.

This "gated community" isn't really gated at all -they are constantly either just wide open, or completely broken.

All doors usually just remain unlocked (I am surprised I haven't encountered homeless people sleeping under the stairs, but imagine getting home late at night and someone popping out).

Police are here at least a few times a month. Apparently someone went crazy with a gun recently - no word from mgmnt.

We went through a period where the fire alarms would randomly go off, to the point when you heard the fire alarm it didn't even phase you because it was so frequent. Well, apparently someone's kitchen caught on fire in close proximity to my unit, and there was NO FIRE ALARM - just tons of smoke and firetrucks. When I brought this up to management, they scoffed and acted like it was no big deal. WHAT?

ENDLESS NOISE from projects starting as early as 6:45AM. Constant contractors all over the place, taking up the few parking spaces that there are, and making tons of noise. Management also apparently hires the cheapest laborers they can find - the work these people do is totally suboptimal. Paint jobs look like finger art, yet management keeps hiring the same bargain labor.

Lousy communication, broken amenities, no security, endless fees, and zero accountability. Read More

Slate is the absolute best! The “secret sauce” at Slate are the helpful team members that operate and run the local.

I absolutely love living at Slate Scottsdale. The staff is every friendly a long with the other residents that live here. A very community oriented complex.

So far my experience at slate has been amazing the staff has been super helpful and informative to me and help me with whatever I need right away. Lisa has actually stayed late a couple times already just to help getting me setup.

Slate Scottsdale is a beautiful property nestled into an urban oasis. I see mountains and nature in every direction I look. I can wake up and be at any type of shopping or leisurely activity within minutes. I equally can wake up and be submersed into nature. The front part of slate sets into the beautiful North Scottsdale night life while the back half is a preserved and protected nature area that brings a lot of tranquility to all of our busy lives. After touring Slate, I knew immediately I’d... be proceeding. It was one of those decisions you did not need to second guess. I’ve moved in and paid rent a couple times since, I always get this “money well spent” feeling afterwards. With renting being my largest line item in life, waking up and going to sleep happy is priceless. Read More
