    • New management is great!

      June 3, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
      I have lived here for nearly seven years. Since the new owners took over about 3 years ago, it has only become better year after year. Marie is simply great! As someone who always felt at best indifferent towards property management, it is genuinely refreshing to have pleasant interactions with the owners and staff. There isn’t a time where I felt burdensome requesting maintenance for our apartment. Anytime we have, Marie has responded promptly if not resolving the issue that day then ...
      communicating the estimated timeline. I moved to the area while I attended classes at the Tempe campus and it is a mere eight minutes bike ride (~12 minutes on long board) from the complex. It is a 10 minute walk to Mill Avenue and Tempe Townlake. We tend to be especially grateful living here when we don’t have to find/pay for parking for events like Innings Festival or Oktoberfest. Lastly, the apartment itself is affordable compared to other asking prices. They are always improving the units themselves or the amenities on the complex. The main bedroom is fairly big with the secondary bedroom a perfect size for an office space or guest room. I am happy to give them a five star review!

    • Great location & staff

      February 19, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com
      West Fifth Apartments is located conveniently close to downtown Tempe while still feeling quiet and residential. Management and staff were always friendly in my experiences. The complex was clean and felt secure, being that it is gated. It may simply have been lucky on my part but my neighbors were all very respectful in terms of noise which, based on my experience, is a rarity with apartments. I would recommend West Fifth to anybody relocating to the Tempe/ASU area.
    • A cozy place!

      August 8, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
      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 - Review from Apartments.com
      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.

      January 28, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
      I have lived here for 6 months until now and I can say that if you need assistance with maintenance or something Important they’ll assist you right away.
    • Cozy spot near ASU and MILL ave

      September 4, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
      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 - Review from Apartments.com
      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

        September 3, 2020
        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 - Review from Apartments.com
      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.
