I took time-stamped photos of every room to make sure everything was properly documented. Even after all of that, I was charged 60 dollars for carpet shampooing, 275 dollars for a so-called deep cleaning, and 12.50 for removing a few small items that would have taken less than five minutes to handle. There was no explanation, no photo evidence, just a final bill with vague charges. When leaving a review on Google, they gave a polished response filled with generic statements about policies, standards, and procedures. They never denied the charges, never showed any proof, and never actually addressed what I was questioning. Just a lot of carefully worded deflection. They'll probably reply to this review with the same type of message. It will sound polite and professional, but it will avoid giving any real answers. That's how this place operates. It sounds friendly on the surface but underneath, it's a business that quietly pads invoices during move-out and counts on people not fighting back. I'm not writing this because I'm upset. I'm writing this because people should know what they're dealing with before signing a lease. This is not about cleanliness or following rules. This is about them turning the move-out process into a revenue stream. Take photos after you moved out (like I did). Save everything. Do not assume doing the right thing will protect you here. They know exactly what they're doing, and it has nothing to do with helping you or being happy that you were a resident.

We had ongoing concerns in our unit involving moisture and visible mold like growth in multiple…read moreareas, including the water heater closet and bathroom baseboards. We reported the issue in writing and requested proper inspection and remediation, especially given that we had a toddler living in the home. Maintenance inspected the unit, but no remediation, testing, or repairs were performed to address the underlying condition. During the inspection, visible dark growth was acknowledged but described as "dead mold". After this, the area in the water heater closet was painted over without addressing the underlying condition. Shortly after, we observed additional visible growth in that same area. Due to this, we terminated our lease under Arizona law after providing written notice. The property disagreed and charged over $5,000 in termination-related fees. The account was then sent to collections while the charges were still actively disputed and within the stated 30-day period. We attempted to resolve this directly and through the Better Business Bureau, but the property has maintained its position based on internal assessments only. We are not looking for a response from the complex, but want future residents to be aware of our experience.

DON'T MOVE HERE!!…read more The first picture below shows a bamboo privacy barrier we hung up on our patio so we didn't have to look at trash 24/7 which is constantly overflowing and very poorly managed by the Acero Val Vista staff (you should smell it in the summertime, the Arizona heat really ripens up the stench). Long story short, the complex manager issued us an eviction notice for having the bamboo privacy screen hung up. Before I hung it up, I checked the lease we signed and it says nothing about not having a privacy barrier on our patio. There are also many other apartments with similar barriers ranging from wood, fake leaves, and tarps. When I asked the manager why they were coming after us specifically for ours (singling us out) she said it "doesn't fit the aesthetic ". Hmmmmm. Sounds highly subjective to me! The main reason we got the barrier was so that we did not have to look at heaps of trash all over the parking lot in front of our place. I guess the aesthetic they are going for here is "garbage chic"! Please take a few moments to check out the lovely trash pics below!

Lived here for three years. Pros: Location! Doesn't get…read morebetter than that location. Friendly and quiet neighbors. Yard space for dogs. No carpet. Fairly quick maintenance response to requests. Cons: In the three years we were there, we had CONSTANT issues with our AC unit. Our electric bill was $250 a month each summer and did NOT get under 83F. First summer we lived here, we were without AC for 2 days. After 24 hours they finally dropped off a portable AC unit (that was broken and gave no relief). We felt pretty frustrated how many times we needed to have them come out to us and we felt there were many excuses as to why the unit was struggling. It needed to be replaced, but they were pulling out all the stops. We spoke to several neighbors with apartments facing the same direction as us and they said their unit is off for most of the day even in the high temps and it still manages to keep their apartment at 68F and with a reasonable electric bill. We were told our unit needed free-on and they kept dumping a bunch of it in the AC unit and it would do nothing. One guy admitted someone tried to jimmy-rig the unit and it was in rough condition. One maintenance guy agreed with us there was an issue. With his temperature gun, our registers would show they were blowing out 89F air and then 5 min later 63F air and then back to the 89. Next time we saw him for the issue, it seemed like he changed his tune and underplayed the issues we were facing. We kept every window shut with blackout curtains, had cooling fans and everything and we still boiled every single day. Not normal! Definitely felt pulled thru the ringer all for them to save $$. AC is essential but did not seem important to them since we were the ones being inconvenienced with ridiculous electric bills and sweating indoors. Other issues we had were with maintenance. They have a sister complex in Mesa they share maintenance on call guys with... not the cream of the crop type workers in our experience. Unprofessional! When our AC unit completely broke down, a guy on call from the other property said he'd drop off the portable AC unit soon and be to us it 11-12 pm. He showed up... get this... at 11pm! A whole day in the heat. We then asked please do not knock on door we have a baby sleeping. Guess who rang the bell 2-3 times and woke the baby. Very frustrating. We had mold in our shower wall and we asked one of these maintenance guys from the other property if they could fix that spot and he said "I don't work here so". Another issue was parking. Not sure why they put so few guest parking spots. Most neighbors have 2-3 cars to park and one carport spot doesn't suffice. My guests always had issues finding an open spot and would have to park a 5 min walk away at the other side of the complex. The pool.. the strangest spot for a pool. Right where everyone driving in can stare at you in your swim suit. Literally no privacy on the fencing for the pool. For the first 1.5 years we lived here, they had no umbrellas even after requesting them. The pool made us feel like a motel pool. Also even when we wanted to utilize the pool, the chemicals were always off and the pool was often green. Also the sliding gate to enter the property... always always broken. It even slammed shut on my car once when I was entering and put a nice large red orange scrape down the side of it. Went to the office and they said it's happened quite a few times, but upper management will probably not reimburse. Cool. Conclusion: We did love living here and overall have great memories. We felt pretty unappreciated living here as each time it came to renew our lease, they upped our rent at least $200 monthly... even with them having a good amount of vacant spots! We bargained with them the second year of renewal, and they said they'd give us a "deal" of only raising our rent $170 monthly. The reason we ended up moving out was them again raising our prices and asking over $230 more monthly for our rent renewal. We loved the community and being apart of it, but we did not feel that reciprocation of gratefulness towards us as long time renters! We never missed payments, were always very respectable, clean & quiet tenants... but I digress!

McKenzie on the other hand, not so much. If she is the property manager, Yuck! She was fake pleasant until my girlfriend wanted to know why we were being denied (oh, and we only found this out because WE kept calling to see what the hold up was) when we were supposed to move in 2 days. This is AFTER we took care of the bill that popped up on the screening within five minutes and verified with the credit bureau it was off. So, if we definitely make more than needed, definitely aren't criminals, and while our credit isn't spectacular, it isn't crazy horrible either, I wonder what it could be? I guess I'll never know since I was told by Ms. McKenzie that she isn't authorized (but she was allowed to let us know a week before why it was flagged denied so we could fix that issue, but I digress). Hate to be that person, but.... I'll just have to assume we were just too black and gay for that community.

A personal preference on the type of appliances and a closer location to work led to to another apartment complex, but I wanted to put in a great review because of the excellent tour and treatment from the team at Marquis.

Potential tenants should be extremely wary of how this complex handles move-out charges. After I…read morelived here for 25 months, they attempted to charge me hundreds of dollars for a full carpet replacement based on a system error that is clearly designed to exploit residents. They essentially admitted that their system calculates carpet age based on the start date of the most recent lease rather than the actual installation date. Since I had signed a second lease with a different roommate halfway through my stay, they reset the carpet's life to zero, trying to make me pay for a brand-new upgrade that is legally their responsibility to prorate. Even more concerning is the blatant contradiction in their damage claims. Management accused me of extensive, irreparable urine damage, yet the report from the professional contractor they hired specifically shows that the inspector declined to check the box for pet damage. Management is literally fabricating damage that their own hired expert did not find. When I called to confront them about why their system miscalculates carpet age and why their claims contradict their own contractor's report, they hung up on me. This follows a pattern of them refusing to communicate I assure you they will respond to this with a scripted response that doesn't address any of these billing issues and instead says they want to make it nice for the next tenant (which is not my responsibility). Do not move here if you expect honest billing or a management team that takes accountability for their mistakes. They rely on scripted responses and silence to avoid addressing the fact that they are charging tenants for apartment upgrades under the guise of damage.
