Papago Gardens Apartments

Move in went great! Management promised to get me moved in on time and it happened. Very appreciative for all the staff at Papago. I love my apartment and look forward to residing here.

I just moved in a few months ago. I am glad I made the right decision to move here it is close to my work and I love the Community and the apartment office management is very professional and maintenance is great! I would recommend this place it is very homey the rent is perfect worth every penny! I plan on signing another lease when mine ends.

Management and Maintenance staff is very friendly and helpful. Anytime I need anything they help right away! I would highly recommend any one looking for an apartment to rent here.

Office staff was wonderful in helping me step by step. Apartment is everything I wanted and needed.

I have lived at this apartment complex for about 2 years. There are VERY good things about this complex and there are VERY bad things. I will give you an honest appraisal and you can decide for yourself. First, I am going to tell you the bad to get it out of the way. The parking lot is horribly designed and is supposed to be a one-way but everyone goes in backwards, including myself (sorry in advance). The area is not as bad as 27th avenue and Indian School but I would not consider it good. I... don't see a whole lot of crazy behavior but there was an experience that worried me. There was a man that was high (I'm assuming) who confused my apartment for somebody else's that owed him money. He tried to kick in my door. Thankfully, one of my neighbors stopped him because I wasn't home at the time. The door is made from good quality metal so it only got mildly dented on the outside. Because of this, I use an additional locking device at night to make sure even if someone had the key to my door they can't get in without waking me up.

The apartment floors are horrible, I am NOT JOKING about this one. Thankfully I have carpet so I don't have to look at it but when I walk barefoot it's very obvious the floors are uneven and my downstairs neighbor can hear me walking around my apartment all the time because of the creaking noises. My neighbor says it's not that loud but I feel bad because I can't control the noise. I have good neighbors right now but the walls are VERY thin and if my neighbor is watching TV loud enough I can hear it perfectly.

Now for the good. I am going to start with the best thing about this apartment. In this current market where an average apartment is rather high for one bedroom, I am paying SIGNIFICANTLY less than what's the average renter pays. And I do mean by SEVERAL hundred less a month. The apartment is huge for a one bedroom and for the most part, everything in good condition and looks nice. I have minimal bugs, which is very important to me.

When I have issues with my apartment, they have been very responsive. But in all fairness, my downstairs neighbor says it takes them a while to get to any of his issues resolved, so I don't know. I can't speak for the new assistant manager because I haven't talked to her much but the general manager is very nice.

Overall, I personally recommend this apartment. The low cost of rent compensates for the poor flooring and bad neighborhood. Hope this helped someone. Lee mas
