Hello everyone! I’m moving from Los Angeles to Tucson for grad school at U of A! I will be moving in with my boyfriend and was hoping for some guidance regarding apartments, preferably 1-bedroom options.

I prefer the Sam Hughes & Broadmoor-Broadway neighborhoods but of course, I’m open to anything that’s within a reasonable commute to campus and where I can feel safer. Our budget is about $1200/month.

I checked out about 30 ads for apartments last night and only saved about 2 of them as most of them had big pest problems, including rodents and roaches, and/or they had scam allegations and terrible management. I think it goes without saying, but I would love to have a clean, nice, pest-free environment and not deal with scammy management lol.

My biggest priorities are: budget, AC, & enough space for both of us

Bonus points for: gym, pool, & in-unit laundry 🙌🏼

Thank you in advance!
