Mountain Shadows Apartments

They get you with the fake advertising of a pool, tennis court etc but in reality the pool has been closed for years they have multiple excuses "the gates" "the owners don't want to fix it" "we have no tablets for the pool". If we're paying rent why is the money not being used to upkeep the amenities they are advertising on their website? The front of the apartments is kept nice but drive down to the back of the complex and you’ll see the run down buildings, trash, and poorly maintained parking... lots with holes.
They continue to kick out kids and families out the pool due to "neighbor complaints" when it's 109 degrees and people just want to cool off.
Apartments are run down, trash everywhere, with old electric stoves that smoke, no central AC, no lights working in the buildings making the apartments dark at night, vacant buildings that caught on fire, lack of cameras, no security patrol, roaches, and quick fixes that don't solve the problems just cheap options. Also no windows in the bathrooms so if you don't circulate properly makes it mold central.
Please do yourself the favor and look elsewhere! The pool is not open neither are the tennis courts. They nitpick on small things that don't matter while they ignore the bigger issues at hand.
Anza management is a joke they never call you back or take your concerns seriously. Lee mas

I rented here for over a year. At first it was nice but everything in the apartment is extremely cheap. The water comes out brown if not ran after 24 hours. I told maintenance and they said "its just like that." The bathroom fan doesnt do anything so theres constantly mold on the walls and ceiling. When the water would dry on the walls it would dry brown and I would have to use bleach the get it off. My ceiling sunk in after the snow and created a huge crack and an indent and maintenance wouldnt... fix it because it wasnt leaking. Air conditioning is horrible in the 100 degree weather. The walls are super thin so you can hear everything that happens outside. After moving out they kept my deposit. Lee mas

I was a bit skeptical because of all the negative comments and reviews. But when I got my appartment it was clean and they were very helpful. Everything is brand new from the stove to the floors and ceiling fan. I am very happy and my neighbors are almost non existant. Everyone keeps to themselves. And plenty of parking too. Dont listen to all the negative reviews there not true

I don't have a problem with the neighbors, plenty of parking, haven't had a problem with the maintenance people so far. They respond pretty quick. Rent is fair. They keep up with the yard and pool maintenance very well.
The only real issues I have is the heating and AC in the apartment. The units they have is the same that is used for a hotel. Expect a high electric bill for the summer. There is absolutely no air circulation for the apartment what so ever. I have bought 4 tower fans just to... get some type of circulation from the AC unit to the bedrooms. Even with the AC on high, the air is only pushed about 10 feet into the living room and the entire apartment stays hot even through the night which makes it very uncomfortable.
If your balcony windows are facing west when the sun starts to set, you get hit the worst and the windows get very hot. I shot my thermal gun at the windows and they get as high as 112 degrees which heat up the apartment very quickly even with blinds and black out curtains.
The winter time has the opposite effect where it is difficult to keep the apartment warm due to very poor circulation.
If they would upgrade the Heating and Air Conditioning and perhaps apply some kind of filming to the windows to deflect the heat, I would have no problem with the place. Lee mas

These apartments are very easy to get into and i think irs because so many people come and go. The managers are no help at all. The mail boxes are always broken into and they do nothing about it. The mold is just painted over, i can even press the paint down with my finger. They said they put new tile in, but the old tile is on the bottom and the new tile keeps coming up. My dish washer never worked and they've came to fix it but they don't do it right. My son found a needle outside near the... pool the other day. There's so many spiders and roaches everywhere, i can go on and on We got what we paid for, but we're leaving this place soon Lee mas
