text: I have been here since late July and figured I would wait a few months to see how I like the apartment before I write a review Compared to other apartment complex reviews that I have seen about unfriendly staff Verde wins this With such a small number of apartments they can actually get things done in a timely manner including maintenance requests although the only requests I have had are my lightbulbsnnI live in the A floorplan and coming from NYC this place feels huge it may not feel that way for you I have a rug and no balcony and I paid in the mid s but that was in July prices go up in the winter One thing to note is you will be taxed on your rent which is an additional month for me water sewage garbage which is another or so keep that in mind either I was not told that when I was looking or I was not paying attention nnDuring the summer my electric bill was around I am a stickler when it comes to electricity and running my AC I kept my apartment at during the day and at night I assume if you have it running all day you will get hit pretty hard The ceiling fans are nice and help a bit I have not run my AC much in November and I believe my bill was around nnThe pool area is small and gets shady pretty quickly and the walls are a bit thing but I am on the third floor I can hear a dog barking in the apartment next to me but that is what you get with apartment living My apartment is dusty I keep the windows open so you will need a vacuum if you get an apartment with a rug if I had known the amount of dust that is in AZ i may have splurged for hardwood The workout room is small but functional I belong to the hr fitness down the road and it is cheapnnI do like living here and there is a very good chance I will renew my lease in July
