Desert Creek has a cockroach infestation and doesn’t have AC or even try to fix the AC issues. They don’t really care about their tenants. Continue to raise rent while not providing stellar customer service. Just been disappointing all around.

The property is very dirty. Pet owners are not picking up after their pets and that makes pets to be more accessible for tick and flies. More post and when the pest control is in the property shouldn't use something for that infestation

Hello, Maintenance does its best to maintain the grounds. However, as you mentioned, when residents do not clean up after their pets, it makes it more difficult to keep the property clean and can contribute to pest-related issues. We appreciate everyone's cooperation in helping maintain a clean and healthy community. Maintenance will continue to work diligently to improve and maintain the property. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we can improve.

The office and maintenance team are always happy to help when you need them and do their best to maintain the complex. The new paint is beautiful and should match the new construction nicely. The complex is quiet and so are my neighbors. I enjoy it here.
