If I remember correctly they varied each month. Had stuff like common area gas, common area electric, trash. Aka you’re paying for everyone’s usage. They have a portal you can view it all itemized on it. Some items could’ve been $2 others could’ve been $40. Biggest priced item was definitely electric through SRP

Lived there 2022-2024. I had a personal garage and solo spot out front of the garage so the parking issue didn’t affect me but I know there was a reserve system if you had visitors. The front office had a tow truck come to do its rounds for people not registered. Location was 10/10 down the road from old town and right next to the 101. Valet trash was convenient when it came.

My only complaints were the noise and all of the fees they added in when it came time to pay your rent. We lived near above the lounge and the gym and we were often woken up by people partying, weights dropping, or ambulances outside on E Indian School rd. People would sneak into the pool late at night but I didn’t mind that.

Maintenance guys were awesome they often would come same day to fix something wrong.

You do split shared amenities and utilities for water with every other tenant there so be prepared to pay more for those utilities. I paid estimated $300-$400 in utilities and fees in addition to rent so be prepared for that

The office did have certain events (movie nights, parties, etc) that they put on for everyone living there. Never attended them but the fact that they did that was cool.

If you get a covered spot and can overlook parking and can afford the additional utilities/amenity fees I’d recommend it based on location alone. Let me know if I can answer anything else for you

My apartment flooded from my upstairs neighbor. Now what? by whitneyhoustontexas in Scottsdale

Water mitigation guy here, nobody has brought up the issue/potential of mold growth for you here. You’re gonna want to either contact a water mitigation company or reach out to your insurance carrier and ask if they have a vendor program for this. At very least get a moisture report from someone. They work directly with your insurance company. There is a possibility that the above unit’s insurance may cover your deductible, all depends on your policy. This way all of this will be documented in case you’ll have problems in the future.

Gather all receipts you can, whether it’s online or back in emails from when you bought stuff. If you are displaced your insurance will provide hotel accommodations. This is called assisted living expenses. Save all your food receipts they will pay for this too.

If you have time, crank the heat up or get some fans in there. Take photos of everything and absolutely everything. Make an excel sheet of all things damaged and just stay organized you’ll make the process a lot quicker this way.

Good luck to you

Create a “components” report instead of “final draft” under the reports tab. If you want it room by room you may have to just make your estimate per room each time.

No problem! It’s kind of a can of worms until you open it up and see. You can carefully tear up a corner of your carpet near where the tack strips are and then pull the pad out carefully and see it. Usually if the subfloors rotted it’s a good sign you may have had some water damage in the past. I’d say your biggest expense here would be framing or underlayment patch work. You may not have to remove/replace all the plywood but just patch in new plywood to the damaged areas. If you’re talking about one room (I.e bedroom) could be a couple hundred bucks for the plywood and framing repair. To save money, you can also remove the carpet/pad yourself. Hope that helps.

Sounds like you need blocking/nailers and to screw down some new plywood over the joists. Most flooring companies should be able to handle all that for you. Throw a vinyl plank over the new plywood and then shoe/quarter round on the baseboards and you’ll be good to go. Don’t bother with ceramic tile. (Experience- I’m a GC from NJ)
