The Complex is overwhelmed by the noise of blowers and mowers in the early morning and throughout some days. Sometimes the cars with big bass-boomers let their presence be known as well. The tenants are basically quiet and friendly.

The management is cordial, but rarely acknowledges the obvious problems, or acts on tenant complaints. The workers with the noisy blowers rarely respect the tenant's autos, and will blow debree and pebbles with little scrutiny. Maintenance service is somewhat… addequate if they are pressed to do the work properly. Check out the dust-filled A/C-Heating units before you sign!

Most of the grass has been replaced with dirt and cactus (not as appealing). There used to be storage areas over each parking stall, but they removed them without bothering to ask or tell why. There used to be carpeting but most has been removed. There used to be peace and tranquility, but that is rapidly dissipating.

Management dictates entery into tenant's apartments without permission, much too often per year. Management uses threats in their leasing, and late pay documents, at every turn. This is overly stressful, and edging on abusive. Especially when they make many of the mistakes.

Overall this is not as happy a living environment as it could, or should be, but the apartments themselves are still fairly nice, even with little to no carpeting. And the close proximity to Stores, Markets, Walking-Paths, and Parks is a plus. Read More
