The apartment wasn’t really ready to be leased. This is my third week living here, and every single day, I’ve had to go to the office to request maintenance for something in my unit.
I had a water leak in my bathroom sink, which prevented me from using the tap for 4 days. It took multiple requests before they finally sent someone to fix it. There are cockroaches in the apartment, and despite weekly pest control visits, the problem persists. Now, for almost two weeks, the entire complex has been...
without hot water. I’m beyond tired and incredibly frustrated at this point. It seems the management is neither responsible nor attentive to their tenants’ needs.

Desert Creek is a timeless apartment complex that has been in Albuquerque since the 1970's. The apartments are being upgraded with new carpet, paint, and flooring all the time as people are moving in and out. They are spacious for the price. Honestly, I love my apartment, management, and maintenance team. Oh yeah, the location is great too!!!
