Arista at Ocotillo by Mark-Taylor

This is a 6 month review. As a first-time renter, I couldn't have picked a better place and have a better experience. I once thought moving to an apartment for the first time would be very stressful and overwhelming. That just wasn't the case here. I'm a FedEx driver and have delivered to this complex for many months, so I've had plenty of exposure to the place prior to move-in. I've always thought this place was the most beautiful than any other in Chandler. Biggest reason for it is its geography, hands down. Not only is it on the side of a large, scenic pond with a river flowing behind it and lots of wildlife, but it has a very safe, very honest community. You can easily feel at peace. It has helped my mental state a ton! Management here is A+. The lead guy, Mike, is simply a humble and

the lake brings alot of bugs which then attracts lizards and stuff to home. when asked for pest control no solution provided.. have reached out again and again.! the pest control only happens on the floor but bugs are all over including the building ceiling which becomes a nucance as these get inside your home eventually.. earlier there was one but now 3 lizards as no solution to bugs given and we were informed that the common areas are cleaning ecery couple of weeks.

My fiancée & I have been living here since the week of Christmas and here is a list of our pros and cons so far. • Pros: - maintenance always has things taken care of in a speedy time - pool & hot tub are clean & good temps - club house is spacious & a great hang out - property overall is quiet & respectful - having fishing right out side your door (don’t eat them though lol) - Monica & Jacob are high key the best people, always upbeat! - Brian & his team love my pups & are also always upbeat & happy. - having dining & farmers market down the street is awesome - pickle ball & tennis courts (even though scheduling is confusing) - NO BREED RESTRICTIONS! Woo hoo! - tons of wild life- have got to see baby geese & ducks, also spotting rare birds -THE PROPERTY IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING • Cons: - de

Ended up doing a self guided tour. It was pretty confusing, as there weren’t instruction on whether or not we had to check in. It just seemed like we could walk on in so we did just that. We couldn’t access the gym, only the 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor. Apartment was your basic “luxury” standard look, nothing special. After touring, leasing agent greeted us as we were about to leave. She was super nice and went through some other items with us. We unfortunately lost interest after seeing the fees. It was fees, on top of fees on top of fees.. including an HOA fee which I find to be completely diabolical. This place is really charging a homeowners association fee for RENTERS?!

This is my second year at Arista! It is a unique community with so many floor plan options and needless to say, beautiful and well kept grounds. The community is safe , in a great location and with an excellent management team. Shout out to Monica and everyone else in her team! They are so responsive and they genuinely care about the residents’ needs. Maintenance is prompt and efficient. You pay a little extra but totally worth it!
