Compared to other apartments in ABQ, this is the best place for single students who want to pay under $1000 for their rent. The apartment has amazing managers and staff. The manager is super friendly and helpful to the students (unlike other managers who all they think about is money money money). I actually think the best thing about this apartment is the great manager. The walls are concrete blocks, so soundproof which is very important. The staff are very responsive to the problems, The pest control is amazing. I have never seen even one roach in the apartment. The neighborhood is relatively safe compared to other neighborhoods around UNM campus. The only problem is the very very very tiny counter space in the kitchen (at least in my unit). Of course the apartment is old, but hey, this is Albuquerque! At least it is clean and not roach infested (unlike most other apartments around campus).

I lived here for two years and really enjoyed it. It took me ten minutes or less to get anywhere on campus, it is right next to a really cool bar, it is very quiet for when you need to study, and the management was fantastic. I've only had a few maintenance issues, but they fixed them right away. One time the manager even called me from his vacation to check in on a maintenance emergency. My friends have told me some horror stories about their managers, so I believe that this complex is the best in the area.

It is very convenient place to live especially if you are in one of the engineering programs (it is on the west side of UNM) the rooms are not big enough but the staff are very nice. When you ask for maintenance, they usually provided it with one business day.

I have lived here for little more than 6 months and I can tell you that is a really neat place to live. I have to admit, the apartment is small and there are really few places for any kind of storage and there is not such luxuries like a dishwasher and the washing machines in the laundry room are ridiculously small. Finally, my last "complain" would be that the only way to get cable is with Comcast. Besides that, I really can't complain. The neighbors in the other units are really quiet and I have never had an issue with any of them, nor I have seen anything that alarmed me. This is something which I cannot say from other places here in ABQ. Most of the people I know here are foreign and/or mature students. The apartment itself it is enough for one person and if you are creative enough it can get to be really cozy. Also the management and the maintenance is really great. Until now they have solve every issue I have had with my apartment in a promptly way. I live in a mid range ($450 plus utilities) unit and although some things are old (basically the stove and the bathroom wall tiles) everything works as it should. I don't know how old the carpet is, but I haven't had any issues with dust or allergies. One final detail in the apartment itself is that at least in the third floor the closets are some what small. I mean, I am a guy and there is not a lot of space for my clothes. The location is great. It is close to everything. I personally mostly use my car to go to the market or something like that. I get to my mourning classes in 6 minutes in my bicycles (this is mostly because it's uphill going that way) and there is a great number of places where to eat and drink with reasonable prices close by. It is also nice that is is not directly in central, so there is not as many homeless or sketchy people around (there still the occasional homeless). In other words, I doubt that you can find a better apartment in Albuquerque for this price.

I have lived here for over 5 years. Overall, you get what you pay for. The kitchen is incredibly small with no counter space, but with ample storage. However, storage in the rest of the apartment is minimal. The only additional storage space is your closet which is standard with its sliding doors. THE BATHROOM HAS NO STORAGE WHATSOEVER! Neighbors can be heard walking around upstairs and you can hear tvs, music, etc. AFter a while you become immune to the normal sounds in the building. There hasn't been any loud fights, parties, etc, at least in the building I live in. I pay $425 for mine, but starting prices for new tenants is going to be 475. IF you ask me, you could probably find much nicer for just a little bit more than that.. Management is fine, never had a problem, and I needed my refrigerator replaced which they did fairly promptly. Jose is the groundskeeper and he is very nice. The reason I've lived here so long is the location. You can't beat living so close to the university, cnm, and the downtown area. One frustration I've had is parking.... it's hard to find a parking space after 7pm. Also, my car was stolen from this apartment complex (although I wouldn't blame the complex, but merely the location). The laundromat is small with 4 washers and 4 dryers. Other tenants frequently leave their laundry sitting there for hours so I have to try to do mine either early in the morning or late at night. I did witness a break-in to the machines and that resulted in no laundry service for like a month. (this was about a year ago) I just wanted to post a honest review because I appreciate it when others do, it helps with finding a new apartment.
