    decent sized downstairs (will warn anyone of 1st floor of a gnat issue)

    Staffing was unhelpful with my transition from a two bed to a studio. Signed a lease for one studio then the onsite manager called me two days later saying it was sold out. She made me resign a different lease with no choice in apartment or to back out. During move out in 2025, they "lost" my check for two months with no notice except a late charge on my account that should not have been there. Charged me for the wrong damages and refused to use the evidence I had (photo proof with timestamps) to take it off. There was mold in my old unit and all they did was wipe the walls down. Fees for move out are insane. They charge for anything and everything including things that were left from previous tenants which they never fixed. If I had kids, I would never let them live here.

    Coffee bar area!

    I really enjoy living here! The amenities are top class and the customer service is really great. They offer free coffee and cold brew (don't forget to bring your own cup) and it's walking distance to ASU, Trader Joe's and some really great restaurants (Board & Brew, Dutch Bros, Two hands & Taco Boys are great recs) I can't wait to live here another year!

    Dishwasher broken for 3 months before maintenance came. Haven't had guest parking for months (or at least any time I asked front desk if there was parking they never knew) but today they decided guest parking was $75. Also lied about having a lot of amenities at the beginning of the year that in reality they do not have. There are a few good things about Canvas that maybe make it deserve 2 stars but I am keeping it at 1 to prove a point.

    Best apartment to live in around ASU! Only less than 10 min walk to campus. This apartment is super clean, nice, and friendly. I live in a studio right now and I have had no problems with it. Every room is furnished which comes with a TV, desk, couch and our own washer/dryer. Everything is up to date including having access to the doors with our phones. The amenities are amazing. The pool, gym, sauna, and study rooms are great. I highly suggest living here if you are looking to move into Tempe!

The fact there is no way to contact anyone at this property is ridiculous. I've left messages as well, no call back. She asked several times to move in early because her previous lease ended and she had a 2 week gap in housing. University House told her there was a waitlist, ultimately she was not allowed to move-in until August 14th. Yet apparently, her rent was due August 1st , so she arrived on her actual move-in date already owing a $40 late fee that she had to pay before receiving her keys. How do you charge someone a late fee on an apartment you haven't even allowed them to move into yet? If University House is going to require rent before a resident is permitted to take possession, that needs to be made exceptionally clear. Finding out you're already "late" before you've even moved in is ridiculous. Especially considering these are college students! More concerning was what happened when my daughter questioned the fee. She spoke with Deja, who told her she wasn't going to keep explaining the same thing. My daughter asked to speak with a manager. Deja told her that SHE was the manager and that there was no one above her to speak with. At move-in, my daughter learned that Deja is actually the assistant manager and "Mitchell" is the property manager. So why was she told there was no one above Deja when that was not true? And where is the accountability for that? This is student housing. Parents are trusting this office with young adults who may need management's help with issues far more serious than a $40 fee. If a resident ask to escalate a concern, they should not be misled about who is in charge. Nor should they be intimidated & undermined. After reading the other reviews, I see that complaints about management, communication and unanswered phones are not new. That makes this experience even more concerning because what are y'all doing about it? Do you even care? I want the $40 late fee refunded, but more importantly, I would like management to address why my daughter was given false information when she specifically asked to speak with someone above the person handling her complaint. I'll be sending an email as well.

TECHNICALLY THIS IS THEIR THIRD CONTACT WITH ME. THE FIRST WAS IN AUGUST 2025 WHEN I POSTED MY GOOGLE REVIEW AND THE BUSINESS RESPONDED ON GOOGLE THE SECOND WAS WHEN MIKE WEAVER REQUESTED INFORMATION AND THE THIRD IS THEIR RESPONSE TO THIS YELP REVIEW OUTSIDE OF THAT NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME OR ATTEMPTED TO WORK WITH ME THROUGH "APPROPRIATE CHANNELS". THOSE ARE ALL BLATANT LIES. (all photos have been added to the business page since i was having issues adding the screenshots of the email with Mike Weaver to the review it's self, to view photos scroll to the very bottom and you should see them). I sent a formal Notice of Intent to Sue via email and Certified Mail, giving them a firm legal deadline of May 29, 2026. Their VP of Legal Affairs, Mike Weaver, explicitly emailed me back asking for the documentation, which I provided immediately. That deadline has now passed, and their legal department completely ghosted me with absolutely zero response. They claim they follow policy, but their actual policy was keeping a fraudulent $10,417 negative mark on my credit profile for nearly four continuous years. They repeatedly verified this false debt to credit bureaus despite me filing over five separate formal disputes. All of this stems from them breaching their own contract by refusing to let me move in on my signed move-in date, leaving me facing immediate housing instability. Pretending you are actively working with me is a joke. I have the entire tracking history and email paper trail to prove you are lying. See you in court.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but my experience at 922 Place has been extremely disappointing…read more The biggest issues were ongoing maintenance and cleanliness problems. There were fruit flies in the hallway, which seemed tied to the trash chute not being properly maintained. The building also often had strange odors that made common areas unpleasant. Maintenance response times were frustratingly slow. Several issues took far longer to fix than they reasonably should have, and communication wasn't great when things were reported. Hot water was also inconsistent, sometimes going out for a week or two each month, which made living here really inconvenient. The gym is very underwhelming and not well maintained. On top of that, I was moved here after being kicked out of GLV for a semester due to ASU housing placement, which made the experience even more frustrating. Overall, this place did not meet basic expectations for student housing in terms of upkeep, comfort, or responsiveness.

    My experience with this complex is average at best. The complex itself is decently nice. The pool…read moreis a very clean, cabana-style & the units aren't horrible but certainly are not great. I was living in a "renovated unit," however, the built-in desks in the bedrooms were old, the couch was old, the built-in entertainment stand was old but everything else was updated & *poorly updated at that. The paint was just thrown on the walls, cabinets and countertops were put on quickly & it shows. Maintenance was pretty good at responding to calls & getting things taken care of-- I'll give the complex that. The biggest issue is that everyone in the office has a different answer to your question & nobody can give you a clear answer on anything. I needed to find a relet for my unit since I graduated early. They barely give you any instruction on what to do. They told me to have my person who was taking my relet to fill out an application & indicate on it that they were taking over for me. Nowhere on the application is that an option. Additionally, you have to pay 85% of your current rent rate to them to break the lease. So they give me my balance & tell me to pay it as soon as I can online. They gave no date it was due by, nor did they tell me my online account would be deactivated once the new tenant moved in & I would be required to pay it via money order or check ONLY because previously, I was told I would keep access to the account as long as I had a balance. Finally, I get a letter in the mail showing I have 30 days to pay the balance or I will be sent to collections (even though I'm given no date it's due to begin with but okay, fine). So I go online to pay which I cannot because my account has been closed & I live in Ohio now, and when I call to ask how I can pay, they say they have sent my info to collections but it has not been 30 days yet? Long story short, I ended up having to send a friend money via an online app and have them write a check & take it to the leasing office to be processed to avoid being sent to collections. Moral of the story-- if you have to cut a lease short or need the office to do a task more difficult than giving you your mail, be prepared to have 5 different answers & have very vague letters come in the mail that have no information or clear instructions on how to complete something.

The bathrooms had black mold and the AC leaked constantly into their shower. They would bleach it and it would be back in days. The toilet and paper holder broke regularly...and this was a renovated apartment. My daughter's room had grey dust bunnies coming out of the AC vent which had to be removed regularly. It wasn't a little bit, it was as if the dryer vented directly into her room and her room was the lint catcher. The lock to the public park adjacent to the complex was broken - which was a safety concern. This appears to be student housing but the neighbor upstairs was in his 50's...which is a concern since they rent by the room and can place anyone in your apartment.

    I lived there 3 years. I had a pretty good experience my first year, then new management came in…read moreand it wasn't so good. My roommate and I had a 3 bedroom but for the first year and a half there was no 3rd roommate. We were given a smaller fridge by the first owners cuz when we moved in ours was broken. They promised that they would get us a bigger one and if we didn't get it right away then for sure it would be supplied by the time we got another roommate. We get a new roommate and we ask for the bigger fridge- they promptly tell us no and tell the new roommate that we are lying and they never promised that. I have email proof but they ignored it. And we decided not worth a fight. Then we get to the fact of me moving out. I moved out early cuz I had a two day drive. I asked them how to submit keys when I'm leaving at 5am and they don't open until 10. There isn't a drop box for us there isn't anyone there to call. So what do I do? They tell me to leave it with my roommate. I leave on Thursday before move out she turns them in Saturday before move out. I get a statement about my deposit refund and they deducted money for keys, utilities, and pet rent. 1) why the keys if they were turned in? 2) how did they get my address in a state I didn't give them? 3) why am I paying these rental charges when I paid the months rent before I left? I cal to ask and am quickly met with annoyance and rudeness from management. Mind you- I hate confrontation and was very sweet and kind simply saying I wanted to understand the charges. When I say my roommate turned in the keys, they say no, they never received them. I'm like okay then where did they go? And then when I ask how did they get the address when I didn't give it to them, they said they'd call me back. They call back to say they found the packet and I was charged for keys cuz the keys were turned in late. I was like ummmm probably not cuz my roommate turned them in Saturday BEFORE move out like I checked with her. But whatever. So then I say ok what about the rental charges, they say oh everyone has that but you're not charged for it. It's a misprint, your charged for just the keys. I ask to clarify that I'm being charged nearly $100 for just keys not rental also cuz the statement says keys cost $12 and the manager YELLS at me and says that $100 is how much keys cost. Woah. Ok I never raised my voice. All I asked for was clarification. Way to be professional. He then hung up after I said oh ok just clarifying. I didn't even get to finish saying thank you (cuz I'm polite) before he slammed the phone down. Needless to say, you will have a mediocre experience while living there but once you leave they don't treat you well and are rude and disrespectful. I wouldn't wish this life on anyone. Also the question about the address is still up in the air- guess they also have ways of tracking you when you leave. Stay safe and far away from this place.
