City - Tempe

Resting along the Salt River, Tempe’s major claim to fame is the main campus of Arizona State University. More than fifty thousand students attend classes here, and the university’s impact on the local culture cannot be overstated. In addition to being the city’s largest employer, ASU serves as the cultural hub for Tempe, hosting guest speakers, art and history exhibits, concerts, and other events that draw students and non-students alike. In addition to ASU Sun Devil sports, Tempe is also home to the spring training facilities for the Los Angeles Angels and the Legoland Discovery Center Arizona. Most of the nightlife and entertainment options in town are clustered near the ASU campus on the north side of town, with the areas further south mostly occupied by quiet suburban neighborhoods.

Along with the impressive campus of ASU, Tempe house beautiful green spaces.

Roaches roaches roaches!

While the apartment comes with a great balcony, layout and pool area they refuse to do anything about the ROACHES.

Property Manager at Parkside Apartments, Responded To This Review

Affordable - Hit or Miss

Still is an affordable complex and that’s the only reason for staying, along with speedy response from maintenance. A good starter apartment for sure! But this year the bad is outweighing the good with neighbors who constantly smoke, fight and leave dog poop on their patio. It happens but these are issues that should easily be resolved by the leasing office. Paying a little more elsewhere for peace of mind will definitely be worth it.

Property Manager at Parkside Apartments, Responded To This Review

Thank you for leaving us a review. We apologize and know how frustrating this is for you. We would like to solve this issue to prevent it from occurring again, so if you could come by the office or give us a call that would be best. Thanks.

Great Place

Corey in the front office and the maintenance guys are all very attentive, timely, and efficient. Any issues that arise are handled in a satisfactory manner, and maintenance request are usually finished in a day or two. Never had any real issues with the apartment, nor any issues with pests. The buildings are well taken care of, and the upgraded units are steal at their price. Grounds are newly landscaped, lots of trees and grass to walk dogs. Biking distance to ASU, and easy access to the Orbit system. Perfect if you want to live close to ASU without dealing with the party atmosphere (and prices) that come with being right next to the University.
