Apartment Review for Desert Breeze Villas - Phoenix, AZ

So, where to start..... Desert Breeze looks really impressive during the initial walkthrough - personal gym with nice equipment, heated pool, great landscape maintenance. The 2 bed 2 bath apartment itself, upon inspection, seemed almost flawless. My husband and I were impressed. And then we moved in, and quickly found out why this apartment is so affordable, and why the landlord was so eager to have us move in. Where to begin? The walls and ceilings are almost PAPER THIN. We can hear the people above us stomping around at all hours of the night, and our next door neighbor s TV blaring. The bathrooms are pretty big, but the tubs are VERY small. There is no towel closet, so we had to put all our towels in the spare bedroom. The spare bedroom itself is extremely tiny - only suitable for use as one child s room or a small office room. Closet space in the master bedroom is EXTREMELY cramped, and the master bedroom itself is very small compared to our last 2 bed 2 bath apartment. The patio space is very tiny and cramped, so much so that we might as well not even have a patio at all. And the cabinet space in the kitchen leaves A LOT to be desired. To be fair, there are a lot of good things about this apartment. For one, the bathrooms, laundry room, and pantry are all exceptionally large. There s considerably more counter space in the bathrooms and kitchen, it was spotless when we moved in as well. A lot of the small, negative details can be glossed over, but the fact that my husband and I can CLEARLY hear our neighbors above and next to us makes me regret ever moving in here. They say beggars can t be choosers, and we CAN T, but if you can afford to look elsewhere, I suggest you explore all your options before moving in here.
