Vista del Sol

I have a unit here and I was locked out of it. Tried my key, didn’t work. Sometimes they change the locks on the doors (they actually do this surprisingly often). I went to the front desk and asked them if they changed the locks recently. They told me no and to just try again. I insisted that the locks were changed and they insisted that there was no record. I went back to my unit and tried again, didn’t work. About an hour later I went back to the front desk, and they said they suddenly did have a record of the locks being changed and gave me a new key. It took all of my willpower not to lose my mind on the employees (which is probably a good thing considering I don’t actually know whose fault this is). Absolutely unacceptable in their part. Pretty sure an apartment complex basically lo

Vista Del Sol is a great place to live while in college if you consider the other "dorm" options and perks of being as close to campus for a somewhat off campus experience. It definitely is pricey compared to what other places go for, Vista ranges from about 6500$ to about 9500$ over the academic year. Although if you plan to stay here several semesters, the summer fee is waved and you can live for free in the units over the summer. Overall you have all the amenities you need for a living space. Full kitchen, sometimes a balcony, private or shared room with a twin or full sized bed, your OWN BATHROOM (only private rooms), a 24 hour gym, and an awesome pool, hot tube, basketball court and volleyball court. There is also some open grassy areas for pets to roam around and play in. If you a

EDIT REGARDING OWNER RESPONSE: If you have "systems in place" to make sure that rooms are move in ready then why weren't they? I've tried reaching out to staff in the past and they responded to me slowly and then not at all. Got fined for something I marked down upon move in. Moved into a new place and most of the appliances are broken, so I’m not sure what we’re even paying these fines for. You might notice an uptick of good reviews around Spring of 2018. That’s because they sent out an email saying if you left a review you and showed them you would get a Canes gift card. Not sure about the legality of that.

Was a nightmare from day one. Apartment was filthy, cat food was found under the couch, trash bags were left outside of the apartment, etc. The overall condition of the apartment was not great. Paint all over everything, damaged furniture, and stains on everything from the beds to the floors. Throughout my year there, my bathroom sink leaked and flooded my bathroom (same thing also happened to my roommate), the AC units leaked water from the ceiling 4 separate times, and my bedroom light switch never worked. Not to mention, our building lost hot water and had water shutoffs nearly every week of the second semester. Of course the pro is being able to live so close to campus, but because Vista is owned by ASU, it is not well taken care of.

I loved my room here at Vista. That being said, the price you have to pay, especially for an individual room + bath, puts many people off at first. Because it's on-campus housing and fully furnished, you do have to pay a lot. For me, it's the price I paid for the convenience of living close to my classes and not having to pay out-of-pocket for utilities. Maintenance is very helpful and fulfilled all my requests the day after I submitted them. My bathroom sink did back-up/drain out and leave a streak of rust, but it came off when I cleaned it. The pool/hot tub area and on-site gym were very well kept, as is the grounds. However, certain things in my dorm were starting to fall apart (edges of tables) and the floors were scratched and permanently dirty. But the space you get is very roomy, ev
