It’s a shame. Maintence and management actually seem to want to provide a nice experience, but the owner has very clearly hamstrung them. I would also steer clear while they’re remodeling, and the remodel is of poor quality.

They need to triple their maintence staff, as some issues present at move in have not been solved in months, several of which involved water and leaks. Management is able to recognize when it’s appropriate to credit tenants, but the owner won’t allow it.

The electricity... bill is more than 160% of our old place, but theoretically a chiller system is more efficient that the individual unit we had at our old place, so they’re clearly overcharging. The thermostats are poorly installed and there’s a 15 degree delta, so you can sweat at 77 and shiver at 62.

The remodeling company clearly does not know what they’re doing. The only applied 1 coat of paint and you can see through it everywhere. The baseboards come pre-damaged, and look 50 years old despite being brand new. The vinyl floor is not resistant to anything. They painted several countertops accidentally. The shower has a plastic cover over the original shower tile, which isn’t waterproof, making the shower claustrophobic and providing ample room for mold to grow which is inaccessible. The water is turned off for hours at a time at least twice a week. The outlets are not all functional. You will need to pay $100 for an internet hookup because they cut the cords and didn’t reattach them. I saw them cutting a 2x4 with an oscillating multi tool, which has the noise output of standing next to a jet engine for an hour, when a circular saw could do the job in a second and quieter.

1 star feels harsh, but if you inspect the star system, the property is clearly not okay and can’t get two stars. Read More

I haven't moved into the property yet but I am looking forward to it. NorthStar is making a large investment in this property with many more updates coming. During my tour, I learned that this will be a gated community (parking lot and property). Other amenities are on the way (e.g., gym). There are a lot of good things happening here and I am hopeful for good things to come. Because of the large investment and improvements being made, now is a great time to consider moving here. The square... footage is decent and the rent prices are better than most places within Midtown Tucson. Gilbert is a great resource and very helpful with the application process. I wouldn't overlook this property as an option. Read More

One day I got some crazy women trying to break into my apartments in the midnight, I called to the security of Bellevue Tower and instead of asking her to go away they started to CALL ME and ask questions in the midnight. "Hello, sir, which apartments are you calling from?", "Can you please verify you do not know this woman?" - yes, man, if I call security it means I do not know her, I just asked you guys to make her go away!

As a result, damaged door and no adequate reaction from security -... they mostly interested in their Whatsapp. So be aware, you are not protected here by from crazy people, security of Bellevue Tower just useless. Read More

No air conditioning in each apartment. One AC for the entire building and controlled by management. No AC till May according to management. It’s 80 degrees in the apartment now and it’s only March. No washer dryers in any apartments. Construction until 10PM almost every night. This is the short list. Grrrrrr

Short version...
Breaking my lease after 6 weeks

No AC (until THEY decide to turn it on)

Washers & Dryers don't work
