    Neighbors balcony in Optima no plants
    Clayton L.

    Great condo building I have been here for five years. It is one of the nicest buildings in Scottadale besides Optima Kierland and Scottsdale Waterfront. The plants make the place look great. I moved into a different unit this summer after my last place sold for a great deal. My new unit to the left I planted a bunch of stuff on my plot area. The HOA determined the plot to the right of me is the owners plot but the owner is refusing to plant anything and the HOA has given me the run around. If nobody plants anything here imagine what this place will look like. Other than that this building and area is incredible.

    HOA extremely ineffective in handling homeowner issues. Inconsistent in applying rules and quick to deflect responsibility.

    I lived at the standard for almost 3 years and it was the best experience I've ever had in an…read moreapartment. It is a resort style apartment which is obvious when you see the outdoor amenities. The pool is huge and wonderfully up-kept, and the outdoor grills, seats, and rooftop area are beautiful. The manager Glenn runs the property very well, he hosts events frequently to get the community together with themed events, and everyone is very friendly there. Maintenance was extremely infrequent for me, but when I needed any, I received it same day and sometimes same hour. Maybe the best part of the standard is its location. One block from the start of old town Scottsdale makes it an easy walk to the many shops, art exhibits, and great food options. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to live in old town to take a look at the standard!!

There's a lot of pricey new apartments around but they're on a busy street. Just look at other places' reviews compared to this place, it's crazy tbh. Paul is probably the coolest maintenance supervisor I've ever met and Neil is super nice. Glenn at the from is the man and has community events. Ewelina is the leasing agent and she's super approachable. I think I'm getting spoiled here idk if I could ever stand another complex like the others I've lived in

    This place runs an unethical business…read more While moving out, they charged me about $150 "broken door handle". The was a bottom screw that came undone on the patio door handle. I never made a maintenance request to fix it cuz it never really bothered me. Had no idea they would charge me if I didn't get it fixed. I asked them for a refund as I found this highly unethical as they wouldn't have charged me if I had made a request. They told me no! Read the lease agreement carefully as they will scam you further more with bs fees like carpet and cleaning. Even if you cleaned and the carpet is fine. Additionally and probably most importantly, the parking here is a disaster. I'm telling you, you will get towed if you sign a lease here. They hire a tow truck twice a week to just come through and pick residents out of THEIR OWN spots. Emily, please reach out to me if you would like to make things right. Apt 4017. UNETHICAL!! Don't live here.

    I moved here in early 2022 when the previous management team was attentive, communicative, and…read moreactually cared about residents. Since the new management took over, this place has gone downhill fast. They increased amenities and trash fees while amenities were closed and trash pickup was inconsistent. They also misrepresented our lease terms and told us a deposit premium would drop off after we renewed our lease. Later they said we would be paying it indefinitely. On top of that, they started charging me $20 a month for renters insurance even though I already had coverage, with no communication about needing to resend documentation. Utility charges for shared amenities have also somehow doubled since new management took over. Parking is poorly managed, gates constantly malfunction, and residents have even been towed from spots they pay for monthly with no accountability. The maintenance team is great, but the front office staff is disorganized and rarely resolves problems. The most concerning issue happened when my husband broke his foot in March of 2025. The elevator in Building B repeatedly broke, forcing him to use crutches down three flights of stairs to get to doctor appointments. For a luxury apartment charging over $2,000 a month, having a working elevator should not be optional. Management also made excuses for themselves and were told they were only then made aware that elevators need routine maintenance and not just maintenance when it broke. We were also displaced for over a week after an upstairs neighbor flooded their apartment and had to fight management just to be reimbursed for the hotel. When we returned, our unit was dirty and damaged, even though we left it spotless. (pictures included) Between the constant fees, poor communication, cleanliness issues, and declining management, this place is not the luxury community it advertises itself to be. It feels more like a money grab. Don't just take my word for it. Look at the reviews from the last few years and you will see the same pattern. I hope management actually addresses these issues instead of continuing to ignore residents' concerns

While other luxury apartments kept delaying my application and making the process longer and more stressful, the team here showed genuine care and understanding. Soltra Kierland was actually the apartment I liked the most from the beginning. However, because of my son's school district, I initially had to prioritize another complex. Unfortunately, that situation became very difficult and left me in a stressful position. In the end, after finally being able to enroll my son in school with special permission, I was welcomed warmly at Soltra. Tracie, in particular, was truly exceptional. When I explained my situation, she didn't just treat it as part of her job. She listened with empathy and understanding to a single mother who simply needed a home for herself and her child. Her kindness, professionalism, and human approach made a huge difference for us. Before and after moving in, she continued to help in every possible way, and we are very grateful. The community itself is wonderful -- residents are respectful, the environment is clean and well maintained, and my son absolutely loves the pool. Everything is always taken care of. I would warmly recommend this community to anyone looking for a place with trustworthy and caring management. On top of that, the location is fantastic, with amazing dining and shopping just across the street. Thank you again to the entire team for making such a difficult moment in our lives so much easier.

The location speaks for itself. You are steps away from some of the finest restaurants and art galleries in the state. In the heart of Old Town, it still manages to feel cozy and quiet. The walkability is nothing short of magical, especially here in Arizona. The building itself is lovely, clean, and well taken care of. The amenities are perfect for the size of the building and offer more than enough space to have friends and family over. The pool is always clean and the plants on property always look happy. The rooftop deck is my favorite place on property - it offers absolutely stunning sunset views! I toured several units before moving in and each one was unique and beautiful. I love how many unit options / variations there are. The layout of my unit literally checked off all my boxes, including a large soaking tub and a balcony with gorgeous view! And in over a year of living here, I have only had to put in one single maintenance request! There is an incredible sense of community in the area and within the building itself! There are plenty of events that give you an opportunity to mingle, network, and get to know your neighbors better. I love how detail oriented the property and management is. From the self-controlled misters by the pool, to the black fixtures throughout, everything on property screams elevated. Many apartment buildings claim to be, "luxury". Scottsdale on Main is the first and only apartment building that I have ever come across that actually embodies the luxury apartment lifestyle. Management and maintenance are friendly, receptive, and communicative. The entire team at Scottsdale on Main deserves gold stars and a raise! They truly go above and beyond. Thank you Nicole, Marianna, Kiana, and Margarito! Thanks for making this place a home.

Also there was a carpet cleaning fee on the move out invoice, which is interesting considering there were no carpets in the unit.

    I like living here overall but they need to fix a few things for it to be ideal…read more 1) You are forced to buy internet and cable through them (included in rent) and it's awful. It's 1998 direct tv boxes that don't really work, so I don't even use it, and the internet speed maxes out at like 50MB down. Just terrible for 2025. Again this is like 20 years behind. There's a 5G tower across the street giving me 1gig down I'm on cellular. Not exaggerating my phone is 20x faster than your hardwired internet. Step it up. Ditch the cable and internet stuff asap. I'd much rather have my own internet service / cable option. 2) The gym has no ventilation and there is an indoor pool next to the gym. So it's roughly the most humid place in all of phoenix. They could mitigate most of this with a couple $200 commercial fans just to get some air circulating, or maybe sealing the pool off better.

It's a Catch-22 and unfortunately someone's life could've been really injured here. Would not trust this apartment complex or management really just consider keeping your friends and your family safe and having them be somewhere else.

    Our experience living here has been overwhelmingly negative. The property has ongoing issues with…read morepests--despite weekly deep cleanings, roaches are frequently seen both inside and around the complex at night. There are also visible structural gaps and missing exterior panels that seem to contribute to the problem. Cables are often exposed or embedded directly into sidewalks, reflecting poor maintenance standards. Our apartment also struggled to stay cool. During hotter months, the AC often couldn't keep temperatures below 85°F, even while running non-stop--leading to high electricity bills around $200+. Noise is another constant issue, due to the complex's proximity to two schools and a busy road. Expect frequent disturbances like racing cars, kids screaming, loudspeakers, fireworks, and landscaping crews starting as early as 5 a.m. into the late night. While the exterior landscaping gives a decent first impression, a closer look reveals a lack of detailed upkeep. For the price point ($1,600-$1,700+ for a 1-bedroom), the value just isn't there. In our 10 years in the East Valley, this has been one of the most disappointing places we've lived. There are better-maintained, quieter options in the area that offer more comfort for the same or even lower rent.

The first week was fine, I even referred a friend, but of course did not get my referral payment. The maintenance team is great, they usually get to your service request within 24 hours, but that is all this building has going for it. I would defiantly avoid here if safety is what you're looking for, it is very easy to get in without a fob. Everything is always breaking. The garage door malfunctioned and came down on my car, shattering my windshield, they took no responsibility and claimed not to be able to find it on cameras when I provided the exact date and time. The garage door is now broken again, leaving it open to the public for multiple nights in a row. Your guests have to pay for parking while visiting. The elevator breaks just about every week. The back entrance/exit that I use daily is shattered, so I have to walk around the entire building to leave. It is extremely loud, I can hear every single thing my upstairs neighbor does. After bringing it to the leasing offices attention for 3 or so months, they offered me to move to a larger unit and pay more rent... I have found 7 cockroaches in my unit, which is disgusting. They did have some come spray the following week and I requested a member of the leasing office go with him, of course that didn't happen. The wifi is unreliable, so most likely you will have to get your own box, but still pay the property the wifi fee. They did not allow me or my movers to use the elevator to move in, but of course informed me of that AFTER I signed my lease. I can promise you that this is not the living experience you want, especially for the price.
