Taylor Ranch Apartments

My girlfriend and I lived at Taylor Ranch “Luxury” Apartments for a year. When we first moved in, it was already quite rocky. We were missing parts of our apartment and it was impossible to get work orders done in a timely manner. To their credit, once they switched property managers, the work orders got fixed faster. However, issues kept arising while we lived at Taylor Ranch and as a result, we did not renew our lease. Some of the major issues we encountered are as follows:

Had work orders... open for months when we first moved in.

Our apartment was dirty when we first moved in, laundry closet doors were missing, our garbage disposal did not work, the screen from one of the windows was missing, and several outlets didn’t work, as well.

We had to call them to fix our garbage disposal and the guy who fixed it forgot a step resulting in our garbage disposal not working again.

AC was about 20 years old. Not efficient at all, we even had them look at it and that resulted in “That’s just how they are”. In summer, our electric bill was about $250 for a one bed, one bath because of the AC. Due to the AC being horrible, we ended up having to buy 4 fans in addition to the AC constantly being on.

Parking was constantly a nightmare. We ended up using the street parking on Montano Plaza until my car got broken into and robbed.

There was a constant ant infestation and massive anthills in front of our apartment that we called them to help us out with. We ended up dealing with it ourselves because they put out traps once and never checked on them again.

During our lease, the pool was only open 2 weeks out of the year.

My car got booted and then towed because the covered parking permit was not “correctly displayed” despite me having a permit and the apartment complex having my make, model, and license plate.

To top all of this off, the property manager, Valerie, accused of us of having a pitbull that attacked someone and was insistent that they “identified” us in the video. The property manager told us that she was going to file a police report against us and call animal control to take our dogs away. After coming to our apartment, they finally admitted they made a mistake and saw that we did NOT have a pitbull. I kept asking how they “identified” us and they would dodge the question.

Finally, our security deposit was returned July 1st even though we vacated the apartment and returned the keys May 28th, 34 days after.

So glad I’m done with this place. Read More

I have lived at Taylor Ranch Luxury Apartments since September, 2019. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the personnel and Management. Any interactions that I have had with them has always been positive. The maintenance employees display professionalism, they are knowledgeable about the task at hand and in assuring it’s completion. The office personnel are very pleasant and very helpful whenever I’ve reached out to them.

I had lived here a year. All year round there were ants EVERYWHERE In every room. No matter how much I cleaned or had them spray. The parking lot has VERY limited. There is side street parking but my car was stolen and the staff didn’t care. There are not any cameras and there is not any security. They have fruit trees ALL over the property. Beautiful but they leave the sidewalks slippery. The staff doesn’t care about its residents at all. If you’re looking for an apartment complex where you... don’t care about any of these then welcome.

When we first moved in, everything seemed perfect. Two months in and we found mice in our bathroom cabinets. Maintenance has come by, but this is our second run in with them. I have lived in ABQ my whole life and have never had an issue with mice anywhere else that I have lived. Not fun and very upsetting. The property is nice and we have loved our apartment up until this point. If you don't mind little friends around, then this place is perfect.

Where do I begin? Should I begin with the ant infestation? Or should I start with how I absolutely "loved" living with roaches? This is by far the worst place I have ever lived at and I am looking forward to the day I leave this hot mess. Carpets are disgusting and the parking lots are horrible. In conclusion, do not recommend this place to anyone you truly care about and if you have any respect for yourself, please, do not live here. You'll regret the day you signed the lease.
