      I toured the other day with Alyssa and all I can say is wow! Alyssa was helpful, informative, and upbeat throughout the whole process. She showed me a one bedroom apartment and the size of the apartment was great for the price! Super spacious, updated, and perfect for what I need. Great location and everyone I have interacted with is super friendly! I highly recommend Sahara and playa palms to anyone!

    • not worth the 600 increase

      July 8, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      New management is Very greedy. They raised my rent 600$. Which it’s not worth it at all. Very old apartment, old damaged appliances, Maintenance is horrible. Rude staff. Stay a way of this horrible place!!!
    • chamberlin & associates raised rent by $800

      March 16, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      The city water line exploded in the parking lot flooding the parking lot and now there is a crater and and mud everywhere. These apartments were for low income families before they were bought by chamberlin & associates. No improvements have been made since they put their sign on the property. You will hear all of your neighbors from every direction through the walls.
    • Not worth the rent increase

      March 1, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      Rent is rising all over the East Valley, so I expected an increase with the new lease. however a raise of $600 including over $100 with new tickets tacky charges? I don't think so. $75 to rent a tiny, old stacker washer and dryer that has been in my apartment for 3 years already. No thank you All of the appliances are older, the amenities are basically non-existent, and the pool is tiny for the size of the complex. The greed of the new management company is both mind boggling and disappointing.
    • Stay away from this complex

      February 19, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      Sahara palms was once a beautiful place to live. Chamberlin + Associates have ruined this place. Please stay away from here as they are full of greed and are very mischievous in order to take money from you. The team is very inconsiderate of tenants and overall just houses atrocious service. Save yourself the time and money, stay away. Take care
    • New Mgmt Nightmare

      January 25, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
      The headline says it all. Raising rents to astronomical amounts are causing A LOT of issues not to mention all the things which have gone downhill since they took over. No 24 hr security patrol anymore, grounds are not being kept up like they used to, the pool & hot tub always seem to have problems and the apartments are older. So, the rents need to stay the same! Please, we need more people speaking up about what is happening. I am hopeful mgmt will RECONSIDER what they’re doing (as it’s not ...
      good business) and just keep the rents as is. I’m a single mom and this stresses me out as I’m sure it does many.
