    Home sweet home!

    Far and away the best place that I have lived in Tucson! If you are thinking downtown living, look no further! My girlfriend and I moved in almost exactly one year ago. We decided we wanted to be part of the booming downtown scene, and that we also wanted to drive less. We saw a for rent sign on "The Academy Lofts" and took a look at the website. We were a little surprised at the prices, at the time they seemed kind of high for the square footage. But we decided to take a peek anyway. So glad that we did! We took one look at the space and fell in love, and signed the lease. The landlord/owner has been a pleasure to deal with, friendly and responsive. They have fixed numerous problems promptly, and you can tell they really care about their property. After living there for a year and becoming part of the community, what first looked to be possibly overpriced now feels like a bargain. Actually, the higher price is kind of an asset, it really keeps the standards of the tenants much higher than most places in town. Things I love about the Academy lofts... First and foremost, the community. Primarily 20's to 30's, young professionals, without children. We have become great friends with so many new people, and we often all hang out together. Second, location. You can't beat where we are, you can walk to 30-40 different great bars, restaurants, theaters, sporting events, etc. And finally, design and style. Two different buildings with two distinct looks, both incredibly well done. We still walk into our loft and have people say wow on a regular basis. I highly reccommend this place to anyone who is looking at renting downtown. You won't regret it!

    My roommate and I, who were graduate level students, lived here for the last 3 years and it has by…read morefar been my most positive renting experience ever. LOCATION/PARKING This is a prime location, about 10 minutes walk to Fry's/ ~2 minutes drive. I could walk to Banner main campus hospital or the university health science campus in about 20-25 minutes. I could take the number 6 bus to get to the main campus and University avenue easily after a few stops, or get to downtown just as easily with the number 6. Free parking up to 2 spots included with our lease. The parking isn't covered but you can use a window shade or there are a few large trees that can provide shade. NOISE Most of the tenants were also quiet and there were no frat parties within this complex. Or they were good at concealing it and I never knew . If you are looking at other nearby housing/apartments, they seem to attract a much rowdier crowd. THE HOUSE One of the main reasons I chose this location initially was that it was a very reasonable price, in a good location, and it was two bedrooms, two bathrooms. It is nice to not have your own bathroom, and if one breaks, you have the other to use until it gets fixed. One bathroom is attached to the master bedroom. The kitchen itself is cozy, perhaps a bit less than I personally would want, but if you don't excessively buy kitchen appliances you'll probably be fine. We fit a large microwave, small rice cooker, Keurig, dish rack, 6 qt instant pot, and magic bullet easily. Electric burners. Easily accessible breaker box in the kitchen area if you kind of know what you're doing (or can YouTube for help) if you need to reset a circuit. Extra perks: We had a nice little front patio area which I wish we took more advantage of, but we were always a bit too busy, and I am unfortunately a delicious tasting morsel magnet to mosquitoes. There is an additional storage on the back side of each housing unit, which can store a decent amount of stuff. I personally only kept a half-broken bike there, but it probably gets decently hot as it faces the setting sun. MANAGEMENT Bill, the landlord, was definitely a landlord who cares about the upkeep of the property rather than just trying to patch fix an issue after it crops up. He did regular check-ins every few months to check and change the air filter, and run a cleaning cycle through the washer and dishwasher. He was also easily accessible, and if something went catastrophically wrong, he addressed it in a very timely manner with whichever maintenance crew was needed to fix it. It was easy to pay rent via Zelle, and even when my bank did something stupid and sent a rent payment after I moved out despite me finishing my repeating payment sequence appropriately, Bill was very prompt to my text and sent the money back to me. Chase said as Zelle is a third party platform there's nothing they could do from their end (which makes me never want to use Zelle for anything but a one-time payment with trusted individuals). Additionally, he did not spring the all too common unchangeable and frankly BS "fees" that many landlords charge everyone when moving out. He outlined usual problem areas that can deduct from the security deposit prior to moving out, and was very fair with the final deposit. Bill is easy to contact, reliable, and an actually good person, which is hard to find with a lot of scummy landlords that are unfortunately all too common near a college campus. THE BOTTOM LINE I didn't even know this property had a Yelp page, but there's a reason it's rated so highly. If you're looking for a good property to rent with a good landlord and no drama, this is a perfect place.

That said, what really matters is how it was handled--and that's where this team truly impressed me. I went straight to the office, and they immediately worked with me to transfer to a more appropriate apartment. The office staff and maintenance team also helped move packages that had already been delivered and made sure everything was taken care of so I could settle in comfortably. Mistakes happen--we're all human--but the way this was resolved quickly and professionally is honestly rare these days. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely focused on making sure I'm happy here. The grounds and amenities are clean and well maintained. The apartment itself is spacious and quiet--I haven't heard my neighbors at all--and parking has been easy. My only small downside is getting past Milo, the AI staff member, but once you reach a real human, you're in great hands. Overall, I'm very happy with how everything was handled and appreciate the effort the staff made to turn a stressful situation into a positive experience.

In my opinion, One North Fifth is really the foundation of the recent downtown evolution. Since then, the 4th Ave tunnel was rebuilt (and it's gorgeous), new shops, restaurants and yoga studios are appearing downtown, a trolley system was put into place, and now a 3-Level underground parking lot is almost done being built, which really comes in handy for the residents downtown. But I digress.... They only offer studios & 1 bedrooms, so if you're a family looking to live that downtown dream, you might want to consider another city (at least for now). The best part is, the deposit is only $300. Try finding a place that can beat that deal. Oh, and all utilities are included (including wireless internet). There's a tiny gym on site and there's a laundry room on each floor. The downstairs lobby area is modern and clean and the staff (Vanessa) is extremely kind, helpful and accommodating. The nice part is you can walk or bike virtually anywhere you want. Be careful though. If you live here, the likeliness that you'll become an alcoholic is high, seeing as you're only a few steps away from Club Congress. It's all too convenient to be able to stumble from the bar and be home in 1 minute.
