Miramonte

I absolutely love living here! This is a great location! The office and maintenance staff are excellent! The first month I was here, I had a few things I needed fixed, the maintenance staff took care of it right away. The office staff is so friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone who's looking for an apartment!

They are great UNTIL you move out. If you have a pet that is potty trained, and you keep your apartment very clean, they will still charge insane prices for carpet after moving out. I only had carpet in my ~15 x 15 foot bedroom in my unit. My dog has been fully potty trained for 9 years. I vacuumed twice a week, and even went as far as cleaning corners and wiping trim down. When I moved out, my carpet looked as no one had even lived or walked on it, and there was no smell. PB Bell charged me $45… for a "Deep Clean for heavy soil/stains", and ANOTHER $175 for pet treatment to the carpet. $220 total for a small bedroom with carpet that was pristine. They do not provide you with pictures or any proof for these charges. They just pass along the charges the carpet company sends to them with no proof. After speaking with other professionals in the property management industry, these prices are insanely high.

I would stay away if you plan to live there with any kind of pet. Read More

I lived here for a year and a half, and overall it was a decent experience. I’ll share the bad stuff first and then move to the good

The Bad:
Package Theft - In the 18 months I lived there I had 2 packages stolen from in front of my apartment. Not sure if anyone else had this issue, but it’s somethig to keep an eye on
Guest Parking - The guest parking is essentially nonexistent except for one remote corner of the lot. If you don’t live over there, your guests have a very long walk. Every guest… I had over complained about the lack of parking
Pool - They have a nice pool area, however they are very strict about the rules. They have the “no alcohol, no music, very limited guest” rules posted that most Scottsdale apartments have, but don’t really enforce as long as you’re not rude or obnoxious, but this complex strictly enforces them. So if hanging out with a few friends, and drinking some beers at the pool while listening to music at a reasonable volume on a Saturday afternoon sounds like a good time to you, this probably isn’t the best complex for you
Air Conditioning - The A/C units are definitely older and haven’t been updated in a while, so they are ridiculously loud. Be prepared to double the volume on your TV or take a phone call outside when it kicks on. Definitely takes a few nights to get used to sleeping with that noise
Rent Increase - Be advised, your rent will go up significantly after your first year. I only signed an additional 6 months so my rent increased even more, but even if I signed on for another full year, it would have gone up over $100 per month. You can tell they’re starting to feel the heat from all the new luxury apartments being built in Scottsdale, and they’re passing those costs onto the renters

Now for the good:
Location - This place is in a great location, you’re right on the green belt, really close to the 101, and you’re a quick drive/Uber from both Old Town Scottsdale and North Scottsdale
Maintenance - I luckily only had to submit 1 or 2 maintenance requests, and they were handled quickly and correctly. They also do a great job of keeping the grounds in good shape
Office Staff - The office staff was nice and friendly and helpful, no complaints there

All in all this place is decent, however you’re paying a lot for what you get, especially since it’s a pretty run of the mill 1 or 2 bedroom apartment. Definitely look into this place, but explore other options in the area as well Read More

When I was set to relocate to Scottsdale, a friend did some leg work for me, visiting several apartment complexes near my new job. I looked at the brochures, researched online, and talked to the managers on the phone. I decided on Miramonte, and I am so glad I did! The complex is beautifully maintained. My apartment is spacious, and has a washer/dryer, which is a huge bonus! There is a beautiful salt water pool and fitness center. The staff in the manager's office are very helpful, always… willing to help. The maintenance staff are great, as well. I received a letter from maintenance, making sure all was well, even offering to replace any light bulbs! I am extremely happy with my decision, and the price is a definite value! Read More
