I'm genuinely shocked to see any reviews of Foothills Property Management that are less than 5…read morestars. I rented from them for just over three years, and my experience was nothing short of phenomenal.
Let me preface this by saying: I do not give 5-star reviews lightly. I see reviews as a public service -- a way to help others get an accurate, honest read on what they're stepping into, whether it's good, bad, or exceptional. And Foothills is exceptional.
I've lived in many places and many types of housing, and I've developed a pretty sharp sense of what's standard (even if people complain about it), what's actually subpar, and what qualifies as above and beyond. Foothills lands firmly in the "above and beyond" category. They treat tenants like people, not paychecks.
Any time I submitted a maintenance request, it was handled promptly, professionally, and at a time that worked for me. Everything I brought to their attention was addressed thoroughly and efficiently. No stress, no runaround -- just clear communication and quality care.
I had a somewhat complicated move-out process, and Cori and her team were supportive and communicative every step of the way. I genuinely cannot thank them enough. And just to clear the air on something I've seen in a few negative reviews: I received my entire security deposit back without any issue. If you take care of your unit and are thorough with your move-in inspection, you'll likely find, as I did, that Foothills is both fair and reasonable.
Their pricing is also incredibly fair -- especially given the location. I lived in a two-bedroom in the Village of Oak Creek with a million-dollar view and walkable access to all my favorite spots. Because the unit and appliances were a bit older, they priced it accordingly. That kind of transparency and consideration is rare in property management.
To sum it up: Foothills is responsive, warm, professional, and personable. I literally cried when I left my townhome -- not just because I loved the space itself, but because I truly loved working with the team. I've had a pattern of moving year after year because I refuse to stay somewhere I'm not happy with, and yet I stayed with Foothills for over three. I would have stayed much longer if I hadn't moved out of state.
A special thank you to Cori, who was instrumental during my move-out process, and to Mayra, who helped make my move-in seamless. These are good people running a good business.
The fact that Foothills doesn't have a higher average rating on Google is, in my opinion, more of a reflection on the nature of "review culture" than on their service. If you're considering renting a unit they manage, I encourage you to reach out and experience them firsthand. Trust your gut, not the star average. I'm so grateful I did.
Thank you to Foothills for one of the best homes I've ever had.
