Lakeview at the Bay Apartamentos

My sister and I have lived here for a year and just renewed our lease last month. Every place has its pros and cons so here’s ours’s:

Pros:
Cheap for the area - driving you’re only 15 minutes away from ASU and about 25 from Phoenix proper. There are restaurants and things to do in walking distance.
Spacious bedrooms - I have the master and it’s huge
Maintenance fixes things pretty quickly + the staff is friendly and helpful
The creek is very pretty and a couple ducks live there with their... babies - very cute in the spring and summer!
The AC works very well in AZ summer - we have not had any issues.
There are security guards who do walks of the complex at night. There is also a security system built into the doors and windows if you want to set up a plan for added security, but we have not had any criminal problems at all.

Cons:
The creek does attract roaches sometimes, but maintenance is very quick to spray when you call. We have sprayed twice and the roaches immediately left. Also every place in Tempe has roaches.
Most of the neighbors are friendly and keep to themselves, but some of them are nosy and entitled.
Amazon packages are constantly lost/stolen since the drop box is hidden behind the front office.
The gym is very small and usually packed so it’s hard to get a machine. Lee mas

Besides the struggling palm trees(Probably due to the heat) I love it here! The office people are great and maintenance has actually been on top of things no. The lady in the front gives my dog treats all the time l, makes it feel like home.

Lived here for 1 year after my previous apartment burnt down. The apartments are very old and the cabinets have been painted over about 1000 times and there are maintenance needs all the time. With that being said however, I’ve never run into any particularly frustrating issues with anyone. Currently the pool is only open on office hours because of COVID.

If zero stars was an option I would have picked that. This apartment complex had me fooled also until I moved in. The manager here is of no use at all. If you try to talk to her she knows everything and will lie to your face. I have lived here for 11 months now and cant wait until we move out. I have had bed bugs, spider problems and roaches. I've been to the front office at least 100 times since I lived here. They dont care about anyone that lives here. I started making waves about the bugs and... about my downstairs neighbors and them being loud and smoking weed all the time. Ever since I started complaining a few months back all of a sudden I was supposedly threatening to a women who lives here. They tried to give me a 10 day notice. I threw it at the lady at the office and said this whole thing was made up. They say I threatened a women. Wheres the witnesses or the cell phone footage. They say i scared her to death and that she ran to her apartment from me. Where is the proof? This lady Jordan who is the manager lies constantly to anyone about everything. We had to have the office send workers to out apartment to clean off our balcony because of spider infestation. They didn't even tell the temp guy and sent him to clean up deadly spiders such as brown recluses and black widows. This place is awful and please find somewhere else to move. They will ruin your expectations of a luxury apartment. Lol they call these luxury apartments. That's a joke in itself. Lee mas

This place is awful. I am afraid that I'll get carpal tunnel if I outlined all of the things that have gone horribly wrong with my stay here. Hell, the day after I signed my lease is when the hell began. To sum things up for those that may take the time to view this:

Maintenance is lazy, they overlook things, half do their jobs, and are clearly not held accountable.

Management is awful and doesn't respond to anything in a timely manner if they respond at all.

The place is dirty

I wish I... could give this place 0 stars Lee mas
