That's right! The name says it all. Forest Park. Unlike other apartment that have fancy names like Tuscany and only the entrance looks that way the rest of the complex is boring and nothing like that beautiful location. But this one lives up to it name. Imagine living in Phoenix, AZ, everything you've heard is true. It's hot hot hot. Burning hot! A dry heat! Get the picture? Now after a burning day imaging clicking you little key faub, the gate slides open (I've been here over two year and
...never once has it been broken) and your view is like many others, covered parking on each side. But that's where we part from the norm. You see next to every single parking space is a tree. Not a tiny little desert tree but large hardwoods. Many are still young but others towers over the covered parking and you no longer see the roofs, but lush green happy trees. You've entered an oasis, you home. Instantly you feel welcome and relaxed. The worries of the day melt away as you slowly drive to your cool covered spot. That's just the entrance! Imagin what the rest looks like!
There are several courtyards. Each is unique and eclectic. With very aged trees and shrubs, fountain everywhere, little critter statues, some hiding in the trees. Some difficult to spot, I don't think I've found them all yet, but it's fun and a challenge to search. If you're lucky enough you can get a ground floor apartment. These are blessed with very large patios with curved whitewashed 6 foot high walls , very private. The apartments themselves art not super unique. You can get at studio,1-2 or 3 bedroom. Some have washer/dryer in the unit other have to use one of several community washrooms. Get this!!!! Laundry is included in the rent as is electric and basic cable!!!! The courtyard that I live in is home to 25 yes 25 full size hardwood and evergreen trees. Walking from your car to you courtyard you can feel an instant drop in temperature. More zen is on the way. Winter in Phoenix is cool and inviting and every apartment has a screen door! For those wonderful 60 degree days you can open you window and front door and feel as if you're in the mountain with the sound of the fountains mimicking a trickling brook. Sheer heaven. Then there is the management. Three fantastic ladies run this place with kindness and are always welcoming. The maintainance, groundskeepers and security men round out a perfect crew. Come visit, take a stroll, once you do you will never want to leave.
