Forest Park

Enjoyed my tour with Renee this past week. Forest Park is definitely a unique apartment complex. My favorite part of the tour was the Pines because they are homes with carports and a nice sized back patio which are connected by one common kitchen wall only (and I believe soundproof due to block wall construction). The residences are in a separate gated community and are very well taken care of. As we were walking through, I noticed the cleanliness, and there were two maintenance men working on some lamp posts right in that community. The Pines offers studios (550 sf), 2 bedroom /​2 bath (1060 sf) and 3 bedroom /​2 bath (1200 sf).
ALL utilities are included (with a cap on the amount depending on the unit you rent). Classic COX cable is also included. A lot of the units have washer/​dryer included also.

I have rented here for 2 months so far and have nothing but great things to say about this place. The office staff are always very polite, friendly, and eager to help me with any problems that I have. The maintenance and security staff are equally helpful and friendly. The complex itself is a nice getaway from traditional Phoenix with trees and shade everywhere. It really does feel like you are in a different city sometimes.
Pros:
Great staff, gated, forested, security at night, shaded pool, close to the light rail, utilities included, free laundry, cable included, covered parking, quiet.
For the price with utilities included, you will find nothing that comes even close to this place. I would recommend Forest Park Apartments to anyone.

I just want to say how much I’m enjoying living here! I moved in a few weeks ago. For those who are less familiar, Forest Park is an older apartment setting, so it is often overlooked. While no, there are no granite countertops or stainless steel appliance packages, there is beautiful charm and gripping character. There are tranquil fountains nearly everywhere –honestly, there are so many I have yet to count! There are peaceful courtyards, with the sounds of trickling water and chirping birds. Honestly, it’s not like being in the Phoenix desert at all! The office staff is friendly and accommodating. The grounds well kept. The trash is taken out multiple times per week. The only negative I see, is that, at least in my apartment, there is ample noise from the older pipes and from my neighbors above me. These minor things don’t bother me though, as the noises are sounds of life and during reasonable, waking hours –I feel safe in the reminder that I’m not alone. If those sounds seem unappealing to you, live on a top floor! Other that that small thing, I’m a fan of Forest Park Apartments and hope to become a long term resident!

We’ve been here for a long time. Same day maintenance and repair, gated, forested (with a hiking trail on one side!), excellent and pleasant management, live security at night and location about ¼ mile from light rail. Balconies are much larger than average. The area is quiet and a lot of the walls are solid cinder block construction. Before we moved here, I had never even heard of an apartment complex like this. It was expanded after the housing bust… likely for former home owners who didn’t like regular small, noisy apartments.
This place has studios with large patios, going up to 3 bedroom apartments and patio homes. For the bigger places, there is usually a waiting list; we waited a few months for the place we wanted many years ago, but it was worth it. Pricing is reasonable by Phoenix standards.
This place is actually nicer than the one family homes across the street, some of which I’ve been to due to friends. Places like this aren’t built anymore. It’s old but kept up very well by maintenance and lots of upgrades all the time. The maintenance guys, from the same country in Europe, have a great work ethic.
(My profile says I live in Gilbert; I don’t, I just have that there on reviews for privacy)

Perhaps the most comfortable apartment complex in Arizona. Having lived all my life in this town the W.R.Schulz Company was a widely known apartment builder around town. This one is the Taj Mahal of those properties.
If you’re lucky enough to find one in the Willow section of the forrest you will cherish every moment in and around your apartment. With a 40+ year old canopy of old growth shade trees, shrubs, ferns, plants and unique old time art you can imagine paradise here at home.
The Willow sports the largest rooms and the coolest shade with our famous ain’t no sunshine when it’s hot swimming pool. For us lizards that have lived here all our lives we love the pool cold and shady.
Large patios, free and in-​unit laundry, free AC, free utilities, free Cox cable and minutes to anywhere in the valley this is the place.

I, along with 2 other teachers, lived at Forest Park apartments from 2013 – 2014 and loved it. We found the management to be extremely helpful. Security was often present, especially at night, and took the time to get to know our names. When we submitted a maintenance request, it was taken care of without a problem.
The apartment was in older condition, but clean, and very spacious. We also had a large patio to ourselves. Utilities are included in rent, and we rarely had to pay over our electricity quota (maybe for two summer months when we used more air conditioning) so when we split the rent between the three of us, it was cheaper than we’d find anywhere else in Phoenix.
The complex itself is very secure, with multiple locked gates, a gate to your patio, and then your actual door. The plant life is beautiful (it’s hard to remember you’re in Phoenix with all the green here!) and we thoroughly enjoyed living here. The location is great as well– right behind Safeway, and down the street from our favorite restaurant, Gallo Blanco. If you have the chance to live here, I highly recommend it!

I’ve lived here for almost a year, and I never want to leave. Not only is the location perfect for access to the light rail and all the great stuff downtown, the complex itself is awesome. It is very quiet and peaceful with all the forest landscaping, and the office staff is great.
