    I've lived at San Milan for the last year and a half and I can confidently say that you will find no better place to call home. If you're looking for a place with an incredible gym, beautiful pool, pristine landscape, or gorgeous view of the desert to the North then San Milan is the place for you. Furthermore, the staff here is unmatched in class. They are courteous, professional, and there for your every need. The maintenance team responds to requests almost immediately, the security employed is sure to make you feel safe and comfortable, and the leasing team is par none. Finding San Milan is without a doubt the best thing that could have happened to me after living in several different states and many different apartment complexes. Make your way into the leasing office, find your home, and thank me later.

    Really it's a 4.5 star review of the property and a 3 star review if Mark Taylor. We signed our lease in February 2020, moved in in May, moved out in October (into our house), and the lease wrapped up at the end of December. Ive lived in various apartments throughout the country, and this one is my favorite, based on amenities and services, layout and location. The pros about the property: 1. Beautiful apartments 2. Great Landscaping/Grounds team 3. Tall ceilings (I'm tall - total bonus!) 4. Lots of outlets throughout 5. Master bedroom access to balcony 6. Assigned covered parking x1 space 7. Amenities provided by the office staff / gym - when able to use them 8. Don't hear neighbors talking, snoring, dogs barking 9. Nearby restaurants 10. Nearby freeway access 11. Crown molding on ceilings 12. Island in kitchen 13. Valet trash 14. Double sink makes for doing dishes easier 15. Two bathrooms in 2+ bedroom units 16. The view 17. Access to nearby walking trails The cons about the property: 1. The road noise from Princess Drive is unbearable!! This depends on what side of the complex you live. 2. Dim lights in walk-in closet and in kitchen. 3. Dishwasher is small and does a sub-par job. 4. Although seven internet hookups located throughout apartment, only one works, and it's not in a location that works with my husband's work-from-home job. 5. Very common that daily mail not delivered until after 5pm. Mostly delivered after 7pm. 6. A/C is really loud, can hear other apartments A/C's turn on and running as well. 7. Slamming doors. More common than it should be. Some are violent. Doors do automatically close under weight. 8. Pandemic relief - cannot access gym for a couple months but instead of offering reduced rate because we can't use all of the amenities we're paying for, Mark Taylor announces a price increase for short-term rentals and month to month - by 20%!!! 9. Computer room - no phone service. Cannot be on the phone with the office while guiding you through a form, or fielding a call. Cannot receive or send texts. You have to walk outside and come back and forth. It's ridiculous. 10. Communications for property-wide maintenance issues are either poorly planned, or last minute and poorly planned. Complications will often go out just a couple of hours before these projects go into effect. Examples include letting everyone know the pool is closing for 24 hours, two hours before it does (twice), or the parking lot resurfacing without a backup plan for where cars will park in the meantime or adequate shuttle accommodations until after the project has started. Even though Management warned of parking enforcement / towing in multiple communications, it was not enforced. 11. New Landlord / Management is more nice than he is effective / doesn't follow through with verbal warnings. Our overall experience was positive. We loved being close to the amenities of the area and fell in love with nearby restaurants, the views, and access to the 101. We found the move out process to be harder than it should have been. We understood that breaking our lease early would result in an extra $3000, so we ended up paying double rent (rent on the apartment plus our mortgage payment) for two months - not cool but we signed the paperwork. We were charged for utilities when we didn't live there, which although expected, were higher when we didn't live there than when we did (?!), which makes no sense whatsoever. We were charged administrative fees on top of the administrative fees for December, but it amounted to only $25; we otherwise got our full security deposit back. The handling of the pandemic was most of the reason why this wasn't a five star review. Because of COVID, certain amenities were not available to residents, but we were still paying for them, which wasn't cool. That was on Mark Taylor, as was raising fees quite a lot during a pandemic when a lot of residents were being furloughed from work or laid off (myself included). Bad move. The gym and pool were largely unaffected, but with periods where one or the other was closed due to concerns with COVID. When the gym was open, almost no one wore a mask, even the personal trainers who were simply supervising their clients. One of the flaws about this property was with new management. We believed the new manager was more nice than effective, so he was getting taken advantage of so he wouldn't get people too angry with him. One example was with the handling of mask wearing, the other was with dog poop throughout the property. It became so bad that the residents came up with a nickname for San Milan - "Shit on my lawn." The enforcement was met with empty promises. Would I recommend this property - yes. Would I move back to this property - also yes.

    Near the pool!

    Best apartment complex I've lived at. Pained me to leave. victor and the maintenance crew always took care of us immediately. Our dog loved the area too! Definitely recommend living here to anyone!

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.

Dog pee all over the stairs and landings of stairwells. Newer tenants loud during quiet hours, dogs constantly barking. They'll tell you the train isn't that bad. lol ya ok. ITS A TRAIN!! Not only can you hear it, YOU CAN FEEL IT! Shakes the entire apt. It's bad. Quiet time til 8 am but they have landscapers mowing every Friday at 630am, sometimes earlier sometimes later. If you face the courtyard, every conversation echos, along with kids screaming and dogs barking but it's amplified. Happens at all hours, so you better be a deep sleeper. Parking is an absolute joke. They send Richard the special maint guy to ask for good reviews after he does his job fixing something. That shows you how desperate they are to fix their google rating. Pawning your helper to solicit good reviews? After doing his job, and poorly at that. Pathetic. You will have your package stolen at some point. Probably other tenants. Way overpriced for the crap you have to deal with. It was tolerable before Kyndell, but now it's time to move on. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere. I promise you that. We had our apt tested for mold and it came back positive. They send Richard in with a moisture monitor he doesn't know how to use. Guy says he's never seen mold either!

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

I waited for two months to be able to move in here and it was absolutely worth the wait. The lush fruit trees provide shade, the tenants are happy with their affordable rent, and the staff is always on site in case there is an issue with appliances or AC. The complex itself is clean, painted regularly, and the yards out front are immaculate. The inside of the units are a perfect combo of drywall and brick, allowing each resident to have some privacy while keeping the temperature cool in the summer and warm in the winter. My utilities have never been so low in an apartment complex, period. I am a single father, and the neighbors are absolutely wonderful with my daughter. It is important to mention that these units are quaint, are perfect for single working professionals beginning their career, graduate students, single parent of a young child, or dual income/no kids couples. The management does allow pets with a deposit. You will never rent from someone that cares as much as the condition of the place you live as the staff and management of Urban Gardens. They truly go above and beyond to care for the people and your experience. I have lived in complexes near colleges or in arts districts before that cater to a party and BBQ culture, which comes with noise, broken beer bottles, and violence.

I had a blower motor go out on a Saturday night. The maintenance guy Larry showed up the next morning (Sunday) to fix the issue. I can honestly say it was very unexpected to be treated as such a high priority. I'm truly grateful to have such an awesome maintenance team here at UG. I have a pet and this place is the first place where I feel like he (the dog) is really accepted. The staff sees my dog around and treats him like he's a little neighborhood kid. Super pet friendly. The manager lives two units over and is one of the sweetest people I ever met. She's always keeping up with the grounds and does a great job. The owner Robert really makes me feel like being happy in my home is a priority. He has very much helped make this place feel like home. My neighbors are quiet and friendly as well. Everyone is very considerate of one another. (Thanks guys!) The facility is an older place but still keeping up with the times. I waited two months or so to move in as it was being remodeled and it was a great decision. Rent here is affordable, facility is clean and energy efficient. There isn't a lot of turn over so getting in is kinda tough but well worth it if you can make it happen. The location really can't be beat with all the shops/bars/restaurants around. 10/10 would recommend.

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.
