Summit At Paradise Valley

So far so good. in fact we are signing up for another year lease. We have nothing bad to say about our experience thus far. We appreciate the noted improvements and renovations here. This complex continues to make progress as a whole. The improvements on the pool area are great and we cant wait until the exercise area receives it renovation. Lacy is always welcoming and diligent in all that she does. The maintenance dept does a great job as well. Assigned parking would obviously be a plus however finding a spot is not an issue. The complex is quiet which allows for a welcoming environment. All in all we are pleased with our experience

Raising rents again, raising utilities again, still haven’t resolved the parking issue, residents who already pay the high rents are subject to city parking tickets due to lack of parking.
The new ownership just changed the name of the apartments and are adding new fees.
Run away and don’t look back. This place will fleece your pockets with a smile on their face.

I recently renewed my lease with the new management. They went above and beyond to work with me to get me into the perfect renovated apartment for my son and I. They let me tour units as they came available and were always there to answer questions along the way. They listened to my feedback and addressed every issue I brought up to include changing out the washing machine of the new unit prior to move in, because the old one had a funny smell. Lacy the manager is awesome and if you take the time to let the staff and her know your concerns, they are attentive and invested in making the community a better place. The upgrades are beautiful, new counters in kitchen and bath, new cabinet faces, quality new carpet and faux wood flooring that is very impressive. The new light fixtures are very modern and sleek and while the complex is older the updates are stylish. My friends and family are impressed by the size of the unit. Yes, the rent increased but they are in the process of a complete overhaul of the complex and renovating each unit. They have power washed the entire park lot, will be painting the buildings, changing the landscape and updating the gym equipment. The maintenance crew are trustworthy, timely and friendly. Give these apartments a chance, there are only more good things to come.
Parking is an issue, but like with all things there are good and bad points. There is no assigned parking so you and your guests can park anywhere. After 6pm it’s hard to find a spot and the parking does fill up until a bit later when people head out for the evening. The staff are enforcing the rules about parking in fire lanes, so you will get a ticket if you do and possibly towed, but there are garages. Not many apartments in the area have garages. So be your own judge. I am very happy I stayed and plan on being here for awhile.
Also, there is no time limit on Pool use. While I haven’t used the pool and hot tub yet, I have seen others out there late with friends. No-​one is abusing it so far, and it’s nice to know you could go for late night swim. I appreciate them letting people be adults about it and the gym is 24hrs too.
The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is the parking and one issue that bothered me a lot was when I lived in an upstairs unit… the shower creeks horribly under your feet. It sounds like you will go right through the floor. It’s a design flaw and they know about it, but there is no real fix. What bothered me the most was the sound and how loud it must be for the people under me. Now that I’m downstairs, I can say that I do hear it from the upstairs unit, but it’s not at all as loud as I thought. I think if I had known that I don’t sound like an elephant taking a shower, it wouldn’t have bothered me as much.
Last thing, the office will sign for your packages. This is a real perk and they do a great job keeping track of your stuff. With the holidays and ordering online, you will have piece of mind knowing you don’t have a package sitting on your door step in the weather all the day! Give Lacy and the girls a call and take a tour of the renovated units. Things are really changing for the better!

unfortunately, I still live at this complex. New ownership took over back in July, 2014 and since then, the new management (LaRamar Apts) has raised the price almost $ 200 a month ($ 70 increase on the monthly rent and $ 70 increase on the water/​trash/​sewage fees). In the words of the apartment manager («These apartments will NEVER go below $ 1,160 a month again). Sounds like contrary to what they are explaining to tenants, they are NOT going based off of market value. The only reason that I gave 2 stars and not one was because the maintenance folks are super nice and because these apartments have washer and dryer in each unit. which they are using a reason to increase the price of the water/​trash/​sewage rates per month. Overall, I would say to look elsewhere for housing instead, unless you enjoy the sudden increase in rent and other fees. :)

Parking really sucks, specially if you get off late. I got a ticket. They didnt tell me i can park accross the street. don’t bother cleaning your appartment when you leave. I cleaned my apartment really well. Manager told me after the inspection that i get my full refund. When i got the check in the mail, it was only $ 52. I called them, they said they will call me back but they never did.
