Andalucia Villas Apartamentos

The grounds of this complex are enticing and initially you are met with loads of charm by the leasing office. However, upon moving in to a unit we had not been able to tour first we found it was extremely dirty, not well maintained, very dark, and the pest situation was constant. Additionally, the carpeting was worn and the water heater gave off a putrid smell, occasionally dumping loads of black sediment into the bath/shower/sinks. When reporting situations such as these, the management would... become hostile, as if it was our fault, and no repair visits occurred, just advice on how to be "better tenants".

In addition, the gate was often left open for days at a time and the cops were on the property doing long investigations several times but we never received safety alerts or updates. That said, the turnover is pretty high. At renewal time the rent went up roughly 15% from the previous year and the cleaning fees charged at move out were double the deposit, including charges for preexisting damage.

Those are the facts, do with them what you will. Lee mas

I would not recommend. To rent apartment , they ran a hard credit check. The same if you were trying to be approved . No place I ever rented in 40 years has ever done that. This includes a brand new $340,000 home , I am currently renting. The apartments are not built well. Appliances mostly outdated. Before, I moved my new potential landlord , requested a reference check from management. Management, told him , that I had a to put a Notice to Vacate before, they could release any information on... me. The potential landlord told management , he is never heard of that. So, if you are not approved for the new rental, you are homeless.Luckily, I have very high credit score and money in the bank, the new landlord rented me the property. Finally, the move out cleaning cost was almost $400. I left apartment in fairly good shape. No damages . Routine cleaning , which landlords would normally be responsible for , they charge me for. Over 40 years, I have never been charged for cleaning after vacating an apartment. Management is all about money. The only positive is maintenance is very good, particular Angelo and grounds are kept up. Lee mas

I really love this place. It is a clean and safe environment with wonderful staff and maintenance. Linda helped me with the move-in process. She was so kind and made it as easy as possible. The whole team is very diligent. There is excellent communication from the staff to the community about reminders, regulations, and fun events! If there is a problem they get on it right away. All of the gates are working and I never see any suspicious activity. Love being able to have a garage. Even if you... have guests, I see more than enough open car spaces. They have so many wonderful amenities. Thank you, Andalucia. Happy to call it Home. Lee mas

We lived here for 3 years. Angelo, the maintenance manager, Rosie, Property manager, and Rachel, Assistant property manager are kind, honest, and always went above and beyond for us. We moved away from Albuquerque, but if we ever move back we would absolutely rent from Andalucia Villas. They have a lot of rules but that kept the property safe, clean, and beautiful by having them.
The 90 day notice to move out was the biggest and most costly downside of it. I would recommend Andalucia Villas if... you are looking for a place to live. Lee mas

My daughter and I have lived here for a little over two years and have no complaints! Every single staff member makes us feel at home. They remember everyone's names, are so welcoming and friendly, have monthly events at the clubhouse, and immediately address any issues that may arise. We feel safe and comfortable in this location. With the bosque just a few yards away, along with the Andalucia Shopping Center across the street, the location is ideal. We love having an attached garage and hardly... ever hear noise from neighboring units. We will definitely call this place home for a few more years! Lee mas
