June 22, 2025The apartments are roomy, but there's no type of ventilation through out the apartment..3bd that is. We have no air conditioning, what so ever, IDK what company does the "chiller system" but if you don't like to be sticky from your own sweat and any due to irritating hot temperatures inside of your home, I suggest you look at other places. These apartments are old with lipstick to appear nice. My kitchen looks like it's about to cave in on the tenants underneath me my entire kitchen dips in. It ...looks like the sink stove washing machine and fridge are all about to meet in the middle bcuz the floors are so damaged. And the ?? OMG, ugh I hate bugs and ugh I'm going freaking insane because they are coming from the chiller system, a non effective and cheap excuse for air conditioning, that runs thru my entire apartment,Property Manager Responded

May 27, 2025Location is good, but nothing else is. Frequent water leaks require water to the entire property to be shut off (4 times just this month) for repairs , yet they charge extra for water per month.. The security gates often fail to close (the main entrance gate has been open for the past week). There are only 3 maintenance staff, although this is a large, 50-year-old property. Trash containers often overflow before being emptied, causing a problem on windy days. Heat to the property was turned off ...in mid-April, after which there were many days when temperatures at night dropped into the 40s but no heat provided.Property Manager Responded
May 28, 2025Hello Peter, Thank you for sharing your concerns. Unfortunately, in order to complete necessary repairs and maintain the plumbing system for all residents, water shut-offs are sometimes unavoidable. We understand this is frustrating and do our best to keep disruptions as brief as possible. Regarding the security gate, we’ve reviewed the situation and confirmed that it is closing at night. Our maintenance team is working hard within the limitations they face, and we truly appreciate their efforts. In response to the trash concerns, we have increased pick-up to three times a week to help prevent overflow. We appreciate your feedback and patience as we continue working to improve the living experience for all residents

April 29, 2025I've worked very hard to resolve the issues.One was the doors not being secured and vignorance frequently visiting our apartment complex. It took three years to get the doors fixed and three years to get a new security team hired. I've worked very hard with the community and the fire department and APD.It is to get rid of the vagrants that live behind the building. All it took was a couple of calls.And they have currently kicked them out.Property Manager Responded
May 2, 2025Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We completely understand the frustration regarding the ongoing homelessness challenges in the Albuquerque area, and we want you to know that we take your feedback seriously. At Desert Creek, we are actively working to address this issue by keeping our access points secure and increasing security presence on the property. While this is a city-wide problem that affects many neighborhoods, we remain committed to doing everything within our control to keep our community safe and comfortable. We encourage residents to report any incidents directly to security or the Albuquerque Police Department after hours so they can respond promptly. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to address this complex issue. Best, Johnna McCary Community Manager
