    • A cozy place!

      August 8, 2025
      My son and I lived here for two years and loved it! I was worried it might be noisy or super busy because it was so close to ASU but it was really quiet and cozy and all tenants were respectful. The property management team was always super responsive and helpful, too! I miss it! Could not recommend more - especially for the price!

    • Great place to call home

      June 24, 2025
      I have lived here for six years and have loved it! Close to ASU campus and restaurants. Family owned so maintenance requests are easy. Very quiet and nice neighbors.

    • Cozy spot near ASU and MILL ave

      September 4, 2020
      Having lived here for three years, this is the prime spot to be if you're a college student or even a person that likes a night out on the town! The apartments are cozy, there's a pool and management is fast and reliable when it comes to maintenance(they are also very chill). Mill ave is walking distance or even take a bird scooter down there. Whats not to like? 5/5

    • Great place to live!

      August 6, 2020
      I moved to the area not to long ago and living here was one of the best choices. The apartments are super nice and I never had any problems with my time here. I got a nice parking spot so I never thought twice about where I was going to park. It's in a great location near restaurants and ASU if you're a student. Also management is easy going and answers all my questions.
      • Property Manager Responded

        Thank you for the kind works.We try our best to make sure all of our tenants are taken care of!

    • Great place near ASU

      September 23, 2015
      I moved to Arizona from Colorado and didn't know a soul out here. I moved into my apartment and Robert the property manager was very up front about everything and has been super helpful getting any little thing done to keep my apartment perfect. It's a perfect place to live for anyone. There's college aged kids and older here. Noise is unheard of at these apartments. If you like restaurants and bars this is the place. You're only 3 blocks away from Mill Ave so it's perfect walking distance. If ...
      you're a college student same goes with ASU it's only a few blocks away so walking or riding a bike is perfect. And the tempe town lake is a few blocks away as well. I highly recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking to move to the Tempe area.
