Apartment Review for Sierra Vista - Tempe, AZ

I lived here for about a year and a half, and in my time there a number of things happened that made me leave and never want to go back. First, my car was keyed more than once, and someone wrote on the trunk in magic marker. There were people partying or arguing at all hours of the night, with no attempt made by the office to quiet them. You would see cop cars there often, in fact they keep an OFFICE in the apartment complex! More than once you'd hear helicopters flying over searching for someone, meanwhile the cops are telling you to close and lock your doors and windows. There was a period of a couple of months where a rapist was breaking into apartments. Basically, I felt VERY unsafe there, whether it was daylight or dark. The insides of the apartments were small to say the least, and not a single appliance worked correctly. You couldn't keep anything in the fridge for more than a day or two, because it would spoil almost instantly. The toilet always leaked despite numerous attempts by maintenance to fix it, and the shower never drained, so you'd be standing in two feet of water. Honestly, I could drag the horror stories out for hours. The money you save (the rent was rather cheap, $700 for a two bedroom that included all utilities) isn't worth it. Don't live there. It's been a few years since I lived there, so I'm sure it has gotten much worse.
