Not a safe place to live if you are looking to raise a family here Constant trespassing /homeless Breaking into the clubhouse/gym/movie theater Homeless sleeping in the pool bed Underage kids drinking in pool area breaking glass bottle I went to the office multiple times they told me they couldn't do anything to call the police they put a few signs up around the complex basically stating cameras are not for our safety Please please please up security so family's have a safe place to live

water dripping through fan

DO NOT MOVE HERE. The management sucks. We had a roof leak for 6 months that only got taken care of after weeks of complaining. The water puddled in the ceiling and dripped through our ceiling fan on our coffee table, that also got ruined. After complaining about that and the possibility of mold, they only showed up a week or 2 later, with a moisture meter. After using the moisture meter twice on different days, they deducted that there was no mold. Not being trusting of the words of the management, I went in the attic myself and discovered a large patch of mold, and we paid $650 to have our own mold inspector come out because the management obviously did not care much about our health concerns. The day after, the results came back, and there was in fact 2 strains of mold. If we did not take it upon ourselves to investigate for mold, it would have kept growing and we would have gotten SICK, if we didn't catch something already. We brought this up to management, as we wanted to break our lease and leave this place without paying any fees. They DENIED us the ability to leave without fees, and offered us to move in a different apartment. No way in hell would we stay in a different unit after the experience we had, and the pure negligence of the maintenance and management. DO NOT MOVE HERE.

I would give a zero star rating if possible. While living here, my roof leaked EVERY TIME it rained, ruining multiple comforters to the point I would put towels down all over my room and bowls if I even thought it would rain. The water damage spots stayed on the ceiling the whole year of our lease even after multiple work orders to remedy the situation. The worst of all is the fact that we have moved out in July 2021 and STILL haven't gotten our $900 refund due to a mistake on their end of DOUBLE CHARGING us! They have been a nightmare to deal with during this whole process, they have been giving us the run around since asking about it getting our money back. They say "a check is in the mail" and "we will look into that" since July. Do yourself a favor and avoid living at Artessa.

I have lived here for almost 3 years. They changed management and staff at the end of 2018 and it went completely downhill. I'm one foot out the door and can't wait. I've recently paid my last months rent. I have always paid my rent on time without any issues. I paid my rent on Feb 1, 2018. On Feb 4th, for "unknown reasons" - the transaction went through TWICE! This is over 3,000 in expenses in just a 4 day period!! I called my bank to put a stop to the transaction and they could not because it was being withdrawn directly from my account. Needless to say, it emptied both my checking and savings. I'm currently in the red $250. AND I was charged for insufficient funds. It gets worse. Front office staff promised me I would be given a check to rectify it. My bank is calling asking about what's going on. I leave work early to try and get my money. They don't have it. They will call me when it's ready. Phone call. The check is located in the downtown office. I have to drive 1 hour to get my check. It's 4 pm and the office closes at 5 pm. Oh! And fucking rush hour traffic. Wait for it... it gets worse. I'm getting on a flight tonight, gone for 5 days. A vacation I had planned since last October. I'm now leaving for a vacation with NEGATIVE $250 in my account because of these assholes. This place is such a disappointment. I've called and complained to corporate. Sent multiple emails. Trying to get my money back and they have not responded. Don't live here. It's straight robbery! Corporate phone; 602-778-2800 The management company is Alliance. Here's a pic or it didn't happen ;)

My email I received instead of the call back I had asked for.

See all

Where does adventure begin? How many years I have been away,…read morethis was a temporary stop along the way too! For me adventure has taken me to Arizona. This was "home," for a minute. It's been too long since I came home! Why come home if even for a brief moment? It's life changing moments in my sisters life! It's a bouncy baby boy, he's three months old, my sister needs help; here I stand beside her repaying the favor she extended me when I was in need. My relocating to Arizona was not smooth, it was utter chaos. My sister "needed help." In trying to locate a place to live for my family; the family here became the hope to make the move possible. Many conversations took place between the office staff and myself, what ease they gave me knowing that "home," was all taken care of. In the end going home at night is why you do it. Not knowing what to expect from our new domicile, I committed to the eight month lease. All the images of the apartment were virtual too. A picture of something is all we had, a tour over the phone. They made this transition from Vegas to Surprise, AZ less weird. It was more than we could of ever expected. On the phone you can tell a lot about an individuals character; the office staff here went above and beyond for me. I'm sure for other families looking for some type of "home" they make it excellent too. We all need a home; even if it's for a short time. In my time here in Surprise, at the height of COVID this was my "new home," for a brief moment. The process could not of been easier. Actually all the paper work and correspondence was done with low ease. The use of technology these days made it genuinely great to fill out the paper work and cope with paying and setting up the actual apartment. Thank you to the wonderful staff for all the work they did on my behalf. Location is everything! This apartment complex is walking distance to a Starbucks literally across the road. Many smaller businesses are close too! Make sure and try such great places for coffee and cupcakes as Sweet Tea. Escape with a park across the way, so close I'm sure you and the puppy need a walk. If hope is what you seek; a beautiful church is next door. Take a stroll around your complex in the early morning for your needed exercise for the day. A gym and pool are located on site too. What more could you ask for? You come on over and see for yourself. The staff here is amazing. Carol thank you for the wonderful experience and best wishes to you and all the staff in their future endeavors!

Been here for a few years now, just re-signed and here for hopefully a few more. Absolutely…read morebeautiful green areas, lovely to take a walk in the afternoon or relax by the pools. We have 2! Maintenance is on top of things and super kind. The location is great with a Fry's right across the road and several great restaurants (Tailgaters and Chef Panda are our favs) nearby, this really is an awesome place to be. 5/5 stars!

I lived at Sky at P83 from 2013-2017. Let's be honest, apartment living, unless you're in the…read more$1800+/month rental rate, will never be 5 star or "luxury". However, out of the 7 different apartments I've lived at since 2007, Sky was above and beyond my favorite. I started leasing in 2013 under Pillar Management. I really loved the Pillar promise. If you didn't like your apartment in the first 2 weeks, they stated you were able to get out of your lease completely scott-free -- they also honored this promise for me when I lived at another property of theirs in 2012 and didn't like the smell. They hired movers on my behalf to move me into another available unit. I truly felt honored as a tenant, and I subsequently had a home I loved. So, I moved to Sky at P83 (formerly Pillar at Rock Canyon) to be closer to work in 2013 under the reassurance of that 'Pillar promise'. The hardest thing about renting an apt are all of those unknowns you realize once you assume residency: noise level, smell, pest control, maintenance of appliances, & safety. I really think all apts should keep this caveat in their leases. Everyone would be happier with better reviews all around, and really it's cheaper on the backend for rental companies. I was nervous when the Tipton Group bought the apartments in 2015. My experience with Pillar was so nice, I was sure it was going to be lesser, but I was very happy with their management. After a heavy monsoon, my apt developed a dripping ceiling leak. The manager not only rectified the problem and replaced the drywall but said, why don't we replace your flooring in the bathroom & kitchen as a courtesy. This upgraded the apartment ambiance. I couldn't be more thrilled. When I received my master's degree in the mail, the mailman bent it to fit in my mailbox. I cried and Jason, the property manager, happened to be out and asked me what was wrong. He said he would catch the mailman the next day and specifically speak to him about being careful about "Do Not Bend" packages. Above and beyond customer service. Sky isn't perfect. Pertaining to other reviews: I did notice there's a lot of 'patio smokers' at this apartment. The smell never bothered me. For my unit: the smoke smell remained outdoors. As long as people do it outside and not in their homes, I don't have a problem. As far as bugs, I only ever saw one cockroach in 2014. This was when the landscapers flooded the lawn in spring though, so it caused the sewer roaches into pipes. I received pest control immediately and was educated to shut my drains. I never saw another insect. I did live on the 3rd floor which helps. There was never a lot of noise. It was quiet and respectful. People are largely middle class and working. There would be some gatherings at the pool, and sure, some people bring alcohol, but never drugs and nothing ever 'party central' - it's Peoria, not Scottsdale. The pricing has always been reasonable. I like a nice home to live in, so I'm willing to pay a little more, but I'm not going to pay more than $1400 unless it's a mortgage. I started renting in 2013 for $675 for a 1 bd/1 ba. Rental rates are now about double across the valley, but Sky is still about $150 under the neighboring market. I have not lived there when CVG assumed ownership of the property. The apts have been painted, and the community looks similarly calm and relatively the same.
