Azul Apartments

Maintenance takes months to respond to issues. Homeless people wander this apartment complex at night. Tonight I saw a homeless guy wandering the complex just looking around at people’s apartments. They finally fixed the pot holes but not well. It took months of people’s cars including mine getting damaged. Amenities suck. Manager Edith has the worst attitude towards residents. Nobody is happy here. It’s a truly sad community.

I have lived at the Azul Apartments for 2 months.

Let me preface this by saying I expressed all of the concerns outlined below to the management staff and nothing has changed. I read the reviews on this site, as well as other sites and noticed the management staff habitually responded to all negative feedback with “this should be brought to us directly” and “we truly believe our motto LIVE WELL. LOVE YOUR HOME.” I took my concerns to management and got a canned response about the policies... outlined in the rental agreement.

Here we go...

1. DECEPTIVE.The photos on this site, as well as others extremely deceiving. If anyone is looking to move here I URGE you to have a look at the unit you are signing for - NOT THE MODEL. The model is significantly nicer the unit I currently live in, and it is the same exact layout. Laundry units are on the outside patio, not inside the unit as the photos suggest.

2. SAFETY ISSUES. The moment I pulled up to my unit, there were 3 homeless people sitting on the steps of my apartment. I gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking this must be a rarity. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Since moving in 2 months ago I have seen dozens of homeless people wondering the complex as well as a prostitute soliciting “work.” I have reported this occurrences to the security patrol and have seen no changes.

3. My apartment smelled funky when I moved in. A friend of mine in the Pest Control industry informed me the smell was the result of my apartment being “bombed” for roach and pest extermination. 3 of the 5 neighbors I’ve met told me they frequently see roaches in their apartments. In my building alone 2 APARTMENTS HAVE BEEN EVACUATED IN THE PAST WEEK DUE TO ROACH INFESTATION. That is not a joke.

It seems some areas of the complex are better kept, so I requested a move expressing the above concerns and management told I couldn’t relocate for 6 months, and there would be an additional fee... additional fee for safety and cleanliness.

This is the most expensive apartment I have lived in, and without a doubt the dirtiest (bugs) and least safe of them all. Lee mas

The new owners have done a nice job on the renovations, but they are asking too much for rent. The walls are too thin. You can hear your neighbors just talking on the phone. There are too many homeless around the area and you can see them going through the trash on the property early in the morning or late at night. In some areas of the property, you can smell urine in the air and the dumpsters are always over flowing with trash.

Mission Shadows Apartments are nice. The floor plans are spacious. There is minimal natural light. However, there are washer and dryer hookups in the closer on the patios. There are also community laundry facilities, swimming pools and an exercise room. I do not recommend using community areas, they are not well kept. One would not get the impression of pride when looking from the outside. If you prefer to be left alone and be in a convenient location Mission Shadows is an option for you... . The cost balances the less than ideal qualities of the property. Lee mas
