I lived in these apartments for 14 months and was mostly a happy resident here…read more These apartments appear to have been a great real-estate investor opportunity a couple years ago where they have been renovated to suit a more affluent resident. This is good and bad because even though the units have been improved, the overall neighborhood hasn't. As such, it appears the property management company is under the impression that if they raise the price of rent to that of a Scottsdale-luxury apartment, it will just magically improve. My neighbors and I were among the $900/month cohort, and all of us eventually moved out when they increased rent to $1000+ per month. I'd say the aesthetics of the apartment are decent. I'd say about a 7 out of 10. Note that the previous property management company did a rush job on the painting and maintenance, so expect a few minor things to break or fall apart on you. Be sure to take numerous pictures of everything (and note all of them upon move-in inspection), so natural deterioration won't be held against you. I did not have any leaks or problems, but I have heard a few stories from my neighbors. The appliances and furnishings were brand-new in 2015. The kitchen backsplash is also a nice touch. The incandescent bulbs in the mason jars are a bit over the top and unnecessary. At least use CFL or LED bulbs, but this is just my preference. They are also in the process of upgrading everyone's windows to Low-E (energy-efficient) windows. I could definitely notice a difference, so if you haven't had yours upgraded, go ahead and ask the management team to schedule it in. I think they upgrade them when residents leave, but I'm not sure. The walls are made of block and I couldn't hear any of my neighbors, which was wonderful. The apartments are located along the SRP water canal. Right behind the canal is the AZ-51 highway, and it does generate a decent amount of white noise. I didn't realize how much noise there was until I moved away. Not a big deal, but if you're hoping for silence and serenity outside, it won't be found here. I suspect if you live in the middle of the units, the noise will be mostly insulated away. Be sure always to lock your doors, hide your valuables, and be vigilant against questionable activity happening along the canal. Unlike most apartments, the management team isn't on-site. Having increased privacy is great, but it also means that they don't get to respond as quickly for typical maintenance issues. The renovations to the pool are interesting, to say the least, but you can conclude that the management team is trying their best to deliver a luxury experience for residents. OVERALL, you will be happy living here. There are a diverse set of residents and all of which are pleasant. The management team is mostly hands-off (which I like), and the apartments are attractive on the inside. However, be sure to ask questions, talk to other neighbors, and take note of the conditions of the neighborhood. From what I can tell, the management team is willing to accommodate most people's requests. Check them out and ask them about what they have done to improve the place - I'm sure they'll be happy to share. Things that need to be improved: -- Doors need peepholes (viewers) so you can see who is at your door. -- Washers and dryers should be upgraded to full-size stackable units. Current units are not as efficient and consume a lot of electricity. -- The back area near electrical service panels needs to be accessible. If you trip a circuit, residents will be unable to access. -- Parking lighting needs to be improved. The lumens from the LED lights are about 800 and are only on for a short period (30 seconds, maybe). -- The cost of water is too high given the cost of rent. I would consider just including it. For $1000 a month plus tax, I expect water and electric included. -- Adjust the water pressure, so it doesn't reduce water flow as much. The management company just changed my water pressure without any notice and water just dribbles out of the shower. -- Stop spending so much time on the aesthetics. Focus on service and attention to existing residents. Ensure all gates lock securely, parking lots are well-lit, and are free of rocks and debris. -- Contact the local FedEx, UPS, OnTrac, and Amazon delivery services to ensure they have keys to the perimeter gates. Frequently, I had neighbors accept my packages or had to answer frantic phone calls from the Amazon driver since they can't get in.

While simple and affordable, it has some beautiful elements that you don't find in many Phoenix apartments such as luxurious private patios, upgraded fixtures, double-paned windows, great landscaping and a relatively large pool. The manager Bill lives on site and is a very experienced contractor. He makes sure the community is high quality and respectful and is very responsive if anything needs maintenance. I appreciate that the community is gated and secure with assigned parking and plenty of on-street as well. I really wanted a single story property and this has been a quiet and peaceful sanctuary. You can't beat the value for the location!

Onsite laundry, security cameras, gated, pebble tech pool and 28 truly majestic palm trees and all this with assigned covered parking. The apartments all face the pool and have generous semi-private patios with french doors and security screen doors. The apartments are ample with a very large bedroom and a galley kitchen that has no shortage of cabinet space. The walls are block and provide good sound proofing. The Bedroom and Dining area have Ceiling fans with lights. The fact that utilities are included sold me and I have enjoyed the cool AC every summer. The thing that makes the Majestic Palms such a consistently great place to live is the management. Peak investment which runs the business end offers a web portal for rent payment and when work orders are called in they are handled quickly and efficiently. The on property manager Bill is the best Apartment manager I have ever met. He is cordial has a good sense of the complex and works to keep everything in good repair. When anything goes wrong he is quick to assist and solve whatever the problem is even when it is on his off time, evenings and many weekends. If you are looking for a quiet, friendly complex in central Phoenix, this is a Gem, if Bill is advertising, call right away, I have never seen an apartment for rent last more than the first day it is listed, they are that nice!

Very sizable rooms with a great living space. The garage was a nice touch too, even though it's a bit tight. Very well maintenanced from the backyard landscaping to garbage disposal fixing. One thing I was not fond of was the parking situation. We had 3 persons living at this townhome, with one garage spot and 1 parking sticker so the odd person out had to park out on the street. If you parked inside without a sticker, you'd get towed. It happened a couple of times and we made it known to the manager so she could look for a better way make it more resident friendly. I do recommend this townhome to anyone looking for a nice modern townhome with a good surrounding area.

He's pretty patronizing, especially to single women (example, told me to sign up for yoga after being upset with water coming from my bathroom ceiling for 15 days). However, pay your rent on time and he tends to leave you alone. If something goes wrong in your unit, he's pretty cowardly and sends someone else to deal with it and you won't really see him. OLD OLD OLD building!! Constant breaks in water pipes. Cockroches will be coming in through all drains, walls, and under base boards if you don't plug them up. (I'm leaving from Unit 1). Other units have unresolved mold concerns, electrical concerns, the list goes on and on. BIGGEST CONCERN: let's call the maintenance man K. The shottiest work you'll ever see with zero regard for your property. DONT MOVE HERE WITH NICE THINGS! 5/18: K leaves my kitchen sink on (it's plugged up because roaches), completely leaves my unit and it is flooded by the time I get home. It was a nightmare but seemed like a one-off mistake. INCORRECT! Fast forward to 6/26: K leaves the hose on, pointed at my door overnight and floods my unit again. Property with sentimental value ruined this time. Obviously, the outrageous negligence and lack of follow up prompted my move. You will have cheap rent here and it comes at its own cost. Hi Robert I probably would've refrained from being so truthful if you gave me my deserved security deposit back. I know how deeply you care about reviews
