seriously listen to the reviews. don't live here. you will regret it everyday. most unprofessional staff. disgusting apartments. terrible living conditions. not worth the cheap price. read more

Very thin walls/ceilings, dirty exterior, complex does not enforce its own rules when it comes to masks and parties during covid. If I didn't know better it would seem like covid never existed here due to no one ever wearing a mask and non stop parties. When I moved in a lot of the furniture had rips, there was mold in the freezer, the cabinets don't work very well. Not worth living here read more

never live here. if you're on the fence regarding alight, do not choose to live here if you can help it. there is a REASON that this complex is constantly rebranding itself. it is immensely unsafe, disgusting, unkept, and consistently out of order. the electronic locks they promise on their website are, more often than not, out of order, leaving the buildings and unlocked staircases open to the public. in downtown tempe. the hallways are disgusting, pockmarked by garbage stains, and smell like trash left in the hot sun. i experienced ant infestations (that i had to manage myself after an alight exterminator did absolutely nothing), frequent leaks in the ceiling and lights, thin walls and zero insulation, faulty appliances that will leave your food spoiled, and an individual that was actively injecting drugs in the disgusting stairwell. the only thing that alight is strict on maintaining is their towing policy. never leave your car on the first floor of the garage, because they will tow it as soon as they can, and they'll return it to you for a small fee of two hundred dollars that certainly don't go to maintaining this hole of a property. the front office staff is incredibly rude, condescending, and will never help you if you have maintenance issues or otherwise. their only concern is separating you from your money. they are incredibly predatory to potential residents, bombarding you with phone calls threatening to offer your lease to another tenant if you don't sign the lease right this minute. i find alight's responses to both negative and positive reviews to be extremely disingenuous, calling positive reviews "honest" when, in my experience, positive reviews of this place do not reflect the truth. do not live here, ESPECIALLY if you're a girl and you value your safety. DO NOT LIVE HERE. read more

The hot water never works, it's out at least for a week each month. Extremely slow internet. Unsafe neighborhood.

Just moved into the apartments in August, they helped me move my stuff into my apartment & made the process as seamless as it could possibly be ! They answered any questions i had come up & always quick to get a response. They have activities on property , and great amenities! Will be renewing ! read more

Needs zero stars. The GM Lindsay literally just uploaded a 5 star review which I think is absolutely hilarious so I'm posting this review. Real managers don't have to upload their own reviews of their business and work place . I have a collection of all the nasty photos around this complex I will upload soon. I'm one to always take one star reviews of apartments with a grain of salt, but if you are reading this I'm telling you DO NOT LIVE HERE. Management are lazy, careless, and do not care about the safety of the residents. Despite them saying on here they want to listen to your problems and to simply contact them, they do not care and wouldn't lift a finger to help you. The light rail also brings hundreds of homeless people around and they sleep in our hallways and around our complex. Security guards of useless and a waste of money. All of the security cameras are broken and when a crime was committed on myself, the police couldn't even receive a copy of the tape because the leasing office said they had been broken for years and haven't been fixed. There is broken glass in the pet areas and sometimes I've even found old rusty razor blades out in the pet area! Honestly for the price, just get some friends and rent a house. It will be cheaper and nicer. I say again please consider somewhere else and do not give Scion communities any of your money. Trust the numerous yelp reviews here that this place is utter garbage. read more

See all

The place is disgusting, I've lived here for a month and the mattress they gave me has some type of bugs. I was covered in bites for 3 weeks until I finally went and stayed with my boyfriend and they cleared up because I wasn't sleeping there anymore. I'm disgusted to even sleep there because I don't want to be covered in bites again. I bought all new bedding when I moved in so I know it wasn't my things that had bugs. I asked them to just take the mattress out and I'll bring in my own, they argued with me and said that wasn't possible that I had to pay $90 extra to have someone come check my room. They didn't even take any measures to spray my room to make sure I don't get bit by anything again. The maintenance is horrible. read more

Do not live here even if your life depends on it. They lost my move in sheet, blamed me, and then charged me for damages that occurred before I even moved in. They are in the business of overcharging college kids and ruining their credit. DO NOT LIVE HERE. The apartments themselves are absolutely disgusting and there are homeless people going through the trash daily. Every week I had something breaking in my apartment and maintenance could barely fix it. Not to mention the windows and walls are so thin I could hear every skateboard, light rail, and car that drove by and I even lived on the 5th floor. Horrible experience, and now I'm having to deal with debt collectors while paying off students loans. I wish I never lived here. read more

Do not live here not worth the price. Our dishwasher and sink clog all the time as well as don't drain and it smells. The washer takes forever as well as makes a sound as if rocks were in there. The whole machine shakes side to side when you're washing your clothes, oh and it leaks!! I have to put an order for maintenance to come in all the time. The dryer barely drys too I don't think my clothes were ever fully dry. The courtyard is always full of poop and it constantly smells like pee. I feel bad for whoever lives on the first floor cause I smell the pee on the 4th floor. Also, my bathroom leaks from the ceiling EVERY time it rains and it's not just a drip it fills up a whole mixing bowl in ab an hour. Not sure how it works cause it's only my bathroom out of the 3 that are in the apt and there's a floor above mine so they must get the same issue. The place is a mess there's trash in the parking lot and courtyards. Not a clean environment plus the hot water doesn't work all the time. read more

So where do i begin. I live on the first floor of E Building. I have had to have my apartments sprayed for ants 5 times. My A/C has broken 3 times. I had a water leak in my kitchen sink. My shower didn't get hot water for 2 months. Bugs crawls under doors and the complex it self smells like shit 99.9% of the time. I don't mind the parting noise but there is a lot of it. The staff only maintains the front part of the building so it looks nice at first but when you walk back to my building you see how much of a piece of shit this place is. Maintenance is staffed by college students that do not know what they are even doing half of the time. And appliences such as dishwasher and the washer/dryer are outdated and OLD. Staff is non helpful and simply rude when you have a problem. I do not get any service in my apartment and internet sucks. Also you do not get a guide on the television so that sucks also. So take my review as a warning. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO RENT HERE.. MAKE SURE YOU GET IN EITHER BUILDING A OR B. Otherwise you'll hate this place. And hope not to get a pool view they are noisy and annoying also request to not be on the first floor because you will get bugs like me. IF YOU CAN.. DO NOT LIVE HERE!! read more

AVOID THIS PLACE!! I was never approved to live here, even after they told me I would be fine. They told me to sign the lease first and then I'd get approved. They then told me I wasn't approved, yet I got a call from a collection agency stating I owed blvd 9K. I had email receipts proving they voided my lease, yet Lindsay Fortress was too arrogant to care. Disgusting staff, disgusting facility, DO NOT SIGN HERE. They try to steal money from college students who are already in debt, just to keep this rat hole up and running. read more

BLVD is an awesome place to live! Always kept clean and the front desk staff is so friendly and helpful. Great location as well for an affordable price - super close to ASU. read more

It is in a good location. Walking distance from the light rail which can take you to the Asu Tempe campus or the Down Town Asu campus. It also has good customer service. The pool area is nice during the hotter days because a lot of people are chilling down there and relaxing. Downfall is things break in the apartment but you can call maintenance and they come within a day or two. Had my hot water turned off for a week though because of water heater problems. read more

I am not one to complain but the management here is a joke. We had inspections a month ago and are just now getting a fine of $250 for "Smoking" i moved out December 20th so please tell me how this is possible? i call the front office and they just tell me "Our manager is out shell call you back when she gets back. Yeah thats what you guys said last time as well. I Highly recommend somewhere else of living. trust me you will be saving ALOT of TIME and MONEY. This is not even talking about all the problems we have had with our room, AKA appliances breaking, not working and maintenance taking up to a week to come unclog the sink...like thats unacceptable. Not to mention There was a shooting here about 3-4 months ago and it took them 4 days to clean the blood off the ground. The whole first floor smells like dog piss and they do nothing about it either. read more

Love this complex. I have the master room which has a big closet and good size full bathroom that I don't share with anyone. There are a lot of great amenities including a tanning bed, modern pool, grills, gym, movie rentals and so much more. They are pet friendly and host a ton of fun events. Had so much fun at game night, and all the other fun events hosted at the complex. I renewed my lease and and excited for the next year! read more

This place is one big scam targeted at young college students who don't know any better and have no other option! Furniture that comes with the furnishing is heavily worn and impossible to replace without purchasing your own furniture! The gate at the pool has been broken and locked off for nearly 4 months now, the grill at the pool has been partially broken for over a year, the fire pits on the roof are faulty, the community gates frequently go down and the homeless wander in sifting through peoples trash and even tried to get into my place on more than one occasion. They will tow your vehicle even if you pay for parking, and then refuse to pay the bill! Management does not care about doing what's right to the renters, they only care about what they are contractually obligated to care about, and only if you have the savvy to understand the contract and call them out on it! read more

Horrible management, place is a dump, do not move here, the management doesnt help with anything and so rude

This is the new name for The Domain at Tempe. DO NOT LIVE HERE WHATEVER YOU DO!!!! First let me start by saying that this is the worst apartment complex in Tempe. The halls are dirty the gates are never locked and the elevator hardly ever works. When I first moved in I put down I was highly allergic to cats and yet they move me in a room with three cats and then try to make me pay the re rooming fee. The staff is unhelpful and just straight up rude. The security is a joke and doesn't actually help with anything. I was attacked by my crazy Roomate and couldn't go in my apartment and security never showed up I sat outside for 2 hours waiting worried for my safety before finally getting the police involved. There are always homeless people in the trash dumpsters and parking garage I've even seen a few in the halls and corridor because the gates are never locked. Whatever you do do not move here. Even though they have sold the property the management is staying in place therefore it will not improve. They would be smart to start over and get a better reputation. read more

Please, folks...stay with me through this. Read this entire entry! Let me start off by saying not only am I infuriated with my experience this year (which has been NOTHING like previous years) But as a young adult with some life experience (24 and back to school for a career change) I am just completely taken back by this operation they call a "business". Put aside none of the amenities ever working, pool always being closed, constant inconvenience of vendors working on property and blocking the driveway, the every Tuesday rules about parking on property the smell of dog urine and feces steaming fresh from the courtyards and my all time favorite...The lack of security accompanied by shootings on the property. Ohhh yes yes, almost none of the "key entry" doors work and our security guards are unarmed and never around. The staff is a complete and utter waste of time. It is a bunch of 18-year-old kids who have no idea what is going on, managers are fresh out of college trying to implement not at all practical legalities which in retrospect...If anyone had the time and hired legal counsel could get the property in a WORLD of trouble. The hidden fees, the disgusting upkeep, the insect issues, maintenance issues due to outdated appliances and pipes, It's a catastrophe. Please. If you don't read any other review, read mine...Students, the hidden fees alone aren't worth it, parents. This property is not safe nor desirable. Pay the extra 100 bucks to send your student somewhere worth it. look at it like this... I made a yelp just to comment on this and it's only September, counting the days down until my lease is up. The managing staff should be locked up, the lower level employees need a reality check and I absolutely hate that I moved into this place. Best of luck to you all! read more

Worst apartments ever!!!! Unprofessional and dirty!!! Apartments aren't cleaned in-between residents. When I first moved in my apartment smelt like pee and I had to have it cleaned which the apartments don't do for you. Overall a terrible living experience to the point that I moved out two months early!! Don't make the mistake of living here biggest regret of my time at ASU. read more

Absolutely a horrible place to live. There is no source of communication and the new management has security that just smokes weed in the parking garage instead of actually keeping us safe. Moving out was hell. They have no system and tell you little to nothing that's going on. Moving in was an interesting process. They would be better off if they did in more day than one. Also I paid for 15 days that I never even was there. And they make you turn in your key before your lease is even over. My review still definitely stands. Even a month after moving I have not received my deposit back and in my lease it says specifically 2 weeks. A pathetic excuse for a living place. read more

Fuck this place! Managment sucks, the security people are useless, maintenance people suck. The cell service sucks, the buildings are extremely loud because there are people partying constantly. read more

When reading through these reviews you might be thinking "Oh it's not that bad, these are just some former disgruntled residents." But no, it is that bad. This apartment complex has 1.5/5 stars for a reason. If you are a student considering living there I HIGHLY recommend any of the other numerous student apartment complexes in the area such as The District, 922 Place, Vertex or University House. They are around the same price and I promise you will have a much better experience. Let's start with the biggest issue this place has especially considering it is geared towards students. The internet does not work, as other reviews can attest. Sure maybe it worked when you googled something while walking through on your tour but don't count on it to do homework, watch Netflix or adult videos! That's the worst when you're mid sesh and then the internet goes out! DAMN IT! When Boulevard 1900 bought this place (Formerly the Domain) they promised to fix the internet along with making a lot of other upgrades to the property. But it's been almost a year and still nothing. I think I'm starting to notice a pattern. The next major issue for me during my year long stint at this complex was security. If you are a college student who likes to party (AYYYYYYY) you can count on constantly being harassed by security whenever you're listening to loud music or have reports of a strange herby aroma coming from your room. Weird. They claim they are there for our safety, but I feel pretty safe already idk what I need protection from. They are just there to bust parties. Just today I received a letter in the mail with all the additional charges to my account since I've moved out. Before I list these please know that my room was in good condition, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. Carpet clean bedroom $40, Common area paint $25, Couch damage $33, Full Bedroom/Bathroom Clean $50, Full Paint in Bedroom $95, Replace Drip Pans $4 and Small Wall Repair $40. I don't have time or room to go through each of these charges in detail but basically nothing was wrong or broken in my apartment, just normal wear and tear. During turn (When everyone moves out at the end of July and before new people come in on August 15) the maintenance staff paints and cleans every room as should be. So why am I being charged for this? So I am currently out $287 that I shouldn't be. So if you do live here expect around $300 worth of charges upon move out. Those were my biggest issues, but now let's touch on some things I read in other reviews. Yes, maintenance can enter your room at any time. Yes, there are lots homeless people digging through the dumpsters but hey that's downtown Tempe for ya, gotta love it. That problem should actually go away because now they have a trash compactor instead of dumpsters. Apparently they were breaking fire code for years by having dumpsters in fire lanes but just got caught so they were forced to get a compactor lol. True gates are rarely locked and even if they are people prop them open. Remotes for the TVs rarely work. That's an obscure one. I like how in Autumns review she specifies the intruder to be a "Spanish speaking lady" as if that were a relevant detail haha. Yes, they do quarterly inspections idk what to say about that. And the move in/out process could be improved. They have carts that they could allow residents to use, but don't for some reason. They probably enjoy watching you carry your shit everywhere in the hot sun instead of using a cart. Sadists. Yes, they have recently made the payment process more difficult with a $14.50 "Convenience Fee". Oh and here's a fun one, yes shots were fired on the property a few months ago. I knew the guy, good kid. Let's acknowledge the only positive review. A 4-Star review from David S. "Great place to live, currently came under new management." David has just confused the word 'currently' with 'recently'. Can you trust someone who doesn't know how to properly use the word 'currently'? No, that is all. If you're thinking hey this guys biased, he didn't talk about any pros! Calm down that's not the case, I didn't talk about any pros because there are none. Sure there's decent amenities and there's bound to be some hot girls living here but there are better amenities and hotter girls at the other apartments I listed at the beginning! Please do yourself a favor and do not live here. It will undoubtedly be the worst mistake of your life which will be the first misstep leading you down a long and dark path of pain and misery. SAVE YOURSELF! Also here is a quick yelp review of yelp. Why are some reviews "not recommended"? I believe all reviews should be treated equal. Equality!! Seriously tho.... It makes no sense I hope you found this review helpful because I spent almost an hour writing it. Sincerely, A former and unhappy resident P.S. sorry for how long it is I tend to drag on. Dragon. Lol. read more

If you're looking for a decent, cheap, and safe place don't move here. Homeless people like to come into the buildings or parking garage to sleep. Because of this the parking garage and the stairs have a heavy smell of piss, shit, and it also has a strong smell of chemicals because of the drugs they smoke. There's used/ broken needles, glass all over. The hallway smells like garbage because we have to wait for the trash service and they pick and choose what trash gets taken. They never stick to a proper schedule so the trash builds up. The pet area is full of dog crap, trash, and sometimes vomit. It's hardly cleaned up and it stays dirty for days. We also have a roach and ant problem in the building. Our stairs and elevators our locked so if we have a medical emergency no one can get to us. Our stairwell is filthy and our elevator hardly ever works. The elevator shakes, stops halfway, and sometimes it will literally drop. The pool is something dirty, there's always trash and broken glass around the pool area. And don't waste your time using the hot tub it's like you're taking a Luke warm bath. Homeless people will bath in the hot tub or pool, they will also piss and shit in corners of the pool area. Sometime last year and the beginning of this year we were informed that we would have security. We just now got security that hardly does there job. There is only one camera on each floor in the parking garage. Cars get broken into or stolen a lot here. there are no other cameras around the apartment. There's so much more that is wrong with this apartment. read more

Total snipe, I moved in thinking it would be nice like the demonstration room but what I ended up getting was a couch that was falling apart and I had friends living in the same complex who ended up having a brand new couch and now that I am moving out they want to charge me $400 even though they did this thing called "Quarterly" inspections and never told us we were gonna get charged for the couches at the end if it was damaged. This also happened to our blinds, they gave all these inspections and we had one blind that was snapped and they never told me and my roommates anything they just ended up charging us without ever letting us know we would get charged if it was broken. And the halls all smell like piss and the internet it down all the time, During Labor Day weekend they also shut off the A/C unit and even calling into the emergency maintenance line multiple times they never came, and after Labor Day weekend it just magically started working, complete bull crap. Lesson here is don't ever rent an apartment, everyone is better of renting a home in tempe. read more

I've been living here for about 3 months, and so far-- I have no complaints! The staff are very nice and the complex has several amenities. Maintenance requests are responded fairly quickly and the furniture is pretty clean and new. The one negative are the floors, they're exceptionally dirty and scratched. read more

TL;DR : Boulevard 1900 is a good option for students that want a quality living experience at an affordable cost that's close to ASU. I've stayed at Boulevard 1900 for two years now back when it was called The Domain. The front office staff are friendly and quick to solve any issues that arise. Always professional and they remember the names of the residents as well which is a plus. Packages are delivered to the front office so I interact with the staff often and my experience has always been good. Maintenance staff are always helpful are respectful as well. While issues do arise in the apartment (which is as expected) putting in a maintenance request is easy and is usually fulfilled within 24 hours. Emergency maintenance is available as well, which is nice. When I was considering apartments around ASU, I did a tour of all the apartment complexes around the area and Boulevard 1900 was the best priced given the amenities. Having my own private bathroom/room for an affordable price is fantastic. I went from a four-person suite with one bathroom dorm at ASU from an actual upgrade. From sharing two washer/dryers with an entire floor to having one in unit changes the game. Internet is decent (Pavlov Media is the provider) but works the best when you bring your own router. Cable has a nice variety of channels as well. There's even a storage closet. As for the apartment itself, room layout will vary, my room is a good size and fits me well. All furniture in the apartment is included which is a definite plus! Pool is well maintained and has a small sand area which is unique. There's a game room, tanning beds, a small computer center, small gym, and even a rooftop lounge. That's a lot for the price! Residents are all college students so it's as expected--parties during the weekends but usually things are quiet during the weekdays. On that note, the security that are around at night are needed to mitigate situations, they take their jobs seriously... Sometimes too seriously. But overall a great place to live! read more

Avoid this place like the plauge. I thought the other views were a little extreme before I moved in, but yes, this place really is THAT bad. If you go to ASU, literally find anywhere else to go, this place is a dump. The entire complex is dirty, never cleaned, and reeks everywhere. Hot water constantly goes out. Management is incredibly lazy and will ignore and make up excuses when confronted. Don't be duped like I was, there are so many better places in the area! read more

I truly enjoyed my time living here and never once had a complaint. Maintenance was always very timely and friendly. Another bonus was the events the complex held. I would have resigned my lease if I hadn't been moving states! read more

Horrible management to say the least! Good luck with all their fees! And destroyed apartments!

So I've been living here for two years and everything is fine but I do have something. My roommate and I not too long ago had to move apartment rooms because we were being harassed by our other two roommates and we had to pay 200$ nearly 300$ if we wanted to move out of a place where we're being harassed. We move on with it anyway because no one wants to come home to that or live in a household that's toxic. A few weeks past by and our old roommates put the trash that we threw out into our trash bin when we moved out keep in mind we blocked them on everything before we even moved out and had no way of even contacting them or them even contacting us. So I contacted the manager right away saying we are still getting harassed and perhaps if they could check the cameras and just see what's going on, the manager sees he will do so and let me know what happens weeks past by and I hear nothing back. We then come back home one day and see that someone threw ranch or something at our door so I once again contact the manager about the situation and still tell him we feel threatened and harassed and asked what actions could be taken. I have yet to hear anything back from the manager I wish they would just take action on a serious situation and understand that their residents are being stalked and feel harassed in their home environment. read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE!! When I moved in on the 4th floor of building A there were a ton of ants and everything was disgusting. There was so much bright red hair on my bathroom floor and stuck under the paint on the walls like they didn't even clean it and just sprayed over it. There were times when I stayed there and there would be no hot water. The WiFi is pretty sketchy and unreliable. You don't get very good cell service in the building either. The staff are not helpful at all and don't know any answers to simple questions. The elevator was always disgusting along with the stairs and hallways. The area is pretty sketchy also, there are a lot of homeless people and the security is a joke. Hopefully this is enough warning! I'm sure I'm forgetting some other awful things because there were too many! DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!! read more

I've lived in the Valley for the past 5 years and have been consistently disappointed with every apartment complex I've lived in until now, BLVD 1900 is amazing. The staff is wonderful and if I wasn't graduating I would absolutely renew my lease. Amenities are fantastic, and fitness center is open 24/7. Highly recommend living here. read more

Rooms are a great size but I honestly think i'm paying way to much for what i'm getting. While I love having my own private bathroom and bedroom but I have no service what so ever in my apartment. The gym equipment is out dated and they promised renovations when I signed my lease but the renovations never came. The water is constantly getting shut off without any notice to the residents. read more

Nope. DONT DO IT!! They keep moving back the date for the renovations on the clubhouse/gym and Im very angry because I am paying for amenities that I can't even use. Im in a 4 bedroom so I pay like 720 a month for a ROOM!!! I would think for these prices it would be a better experience. There are other student apartments that are much closer to asu and much nicer. use as a last resort only read more

To begin, I would advise NO ONE to choose this property as a temporary living space for themselves. Worst year of my life here. Hot water went out a total of 7 different times for days on in, and at one point was completely shut off for an entire day. Hallways are filthy and smell absurd, while the elevator is always filled with trash and other animal feces. Management are by far the worst people, they don't help with any of your request and have no suggestions on help with unit. The pool is always closed, the parking garage has an absolute dangerous structure that make it hard for cars not to collide with one another, and lastly there are bugs everywhere on the grounds due to the place being so dirty. Signing a lease for this place, was the biggest regret of my school year. read more

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!!!!!!! Management are idiots and the apartments are disgusting. I lived here for a year and will not be back and will not be recommending it to a friend. read more

ATENTION ASU PARENTS. Read these reviews as it really is this bad!! ITS FILTHY! Horrible experience from the second we moved our kid in! We took two tours prior to move ...they must have a clean hall for those...because EVERY OTHER SQUARE INCH IS FILLED WITH FILTH, the halls, stairways, elevators...the. You get to the uncleaned apartment!!! all of it. DO NOT MOVE YOUR STUDENT INTO THIS COMPLETE DUMP!! read more

This apartment complex is terrible!!! All the reviews stating how gross the conditions were are completely true. The halls reek of urine and garbage 24/7. They put the dog "park" in the center of each complex building so right when you open your door you will smell the urine and feces. When you tour the building, they catfish you!!! They show you the model rooms that look decent and once you sign your lease and are assigned your room, it looks completely different! The carpets are so gross! And beware of your roommate situation! I had a TERRIBLE experience with the roommate I was assigned to live with and it took me MONTHS begging and almost crying to the staff to move me into another room! If I can give this less than a zero star, I sincerely would. The price may seem nice, but it's not worth all the bs you are going to go through when living there. And you would think that since the building is right across the street from a police station you would feel safe, but in reality there is a really bad homeless population (which is very sad) and a lot of alcoholics that roam by this un-gated apartment complex. I could go on and on about how this was the worst apartment experience I have ever went through but all the reviews already said it all! It's definitely worth spending a little more at another apartment then settling for this trash! read more

There is a reason this place has. Low rating. Hidden fees, very rude office staff. I will never ever have my kids rent here again once our lease is up. Don't make the same mistake go anywhere else!! read more
