New management is great!

I have lived here for nearly seven years. Since the new owners took over about 3 years ago, it has only become better year after year.

Marie is simply great! As someone who always felt at best indifferent towards property management, it is genuinely refreshing to have pleasant interactions with the owners and staff. There isn’t a time where I felt burdensome requesting maintenance for our apartment. Anytime we have, Marie has responded promptly if not resolving the issue that day then … communicating the estimated timeline.

I moved to the area while I attended classes at the Tempe campus and it is a mere eight minutes bike ride (~12 minutes on long board) from the complex. It is a 10 minute walk to Mill Avenue and Tempe Townlake. We tend to be especially grateful living here when we don’t have to find/pay for parking for events like Innings Festival or Oktoberfest.

Lastly, the apartment itself is affordable compared to other asking prices. They are always improving the units themselves or the amenities on the complex. The main bedroom is fairly big with the secondary bedroom a perfect size for an office space or guest room. I am happy to give them a five star review!

Great location & staff

West Fifth Apartments is located conveniently close to downtown Tempe while still feeling quiet and residential. Management and staff were always friendly in my experiences. The complex was clean and felt secure, being that it is gated. It may simply have been lucky on my part but my neighbors were all very respectful in terms of noise which, based on my experience, is a rarity with apartments. I would recommend West Fifth to anybody relocating to the Tempe/ASU area.

A cozy place!

My son and I lived here for two years and loved it! I was worried it might be noisy or super busy because it was so close to ASU but it was really quiet and cozy and all tenants were respectful. The property management team was always super responsive and helpful, too! I miss it! Could not recommend more - especially for the price!

Great place to call home

I have lived here for six years and have loved it! Close to ASU campus and restaurants. Family owned so maintenance requests are easy. Very quiet and nice neighbors.
