Great Location
May 29, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
I lived at The Hideaway North Scottsdale for over two years, and honestly, the most frustrating part is that the location is fantastic. You’re close to everything, and on paper this should be a great community to live in. Unfortunately, the actual experience is a complete circus.
During my time there, the property seemed to cycle through management companies, staff turnover, and operational chaos nonstop — and residents constantly paid the price for it.
Communication around leases and renewals ...
was consistently chaotic. I had to repeatedly chase the office down just to get basic information about my lease ending and month-to-month options.
But the real issue? Ownership flooded the property with Airbnb/short-term rentals. Residents ended up dealing with everything from smoking and fights at the pool to disruptive behavior, loud parties, and even police activity. For the longest time, management flat-out denied the Airbnb situation despite residents constantly reporting issues.
Eventually some of those operators stopped paying rent, and suddenly management acknowledged what everyone already knew — even admitting they weren’t getting paid and were forced to evict them. Instead of fixing the problem, though, they essentially doubled down and continued operating short-term rentals themselves at the expense of the actual residential community.
Residents pay amenity fees just to compete with a revolving door of vacation renters for parking, pool space, and shared facilities. Actual residents are limited to two pool guests and standard occupancy rules, while the Airbnb units operate under completely different standards. As long as those units are packed with bunk beds, large groups of vacation renters are all allowed access to the same shared amenities residents are paying for every month. Meanwhile, amenities disappear without notice only to reappear attached to another fee.
And whenever residents raised legitimate concerns, the response from management often felt dismissive or passive-aggressive rather than solution-oriented. I’ll never forget Hayley threatening to involve law enforcement because I asked why residents received little to no notification about a water shutoff.
This place markets itself as “luxury,” but the reality is inconsistent communication, delayed maintenance responses, pest issues, random water shutoffs with little warning, and management that rarely seems prepared or accountable.
