Agave Ridge Apartments (Formerly Urban 148)

I recently toured this community as I’m getting a head start on my apartment search before I’m ready to rent. The tour was informative, and I liked getting a feel for the floor plans and amenities. I also appreciated learning about some upcoming improvements planned around the time I’ll be looking to move. The location is a big plus too — having Fry’s, Target, and Walmart right down the street is super convenient. I’m not quite ready to decide yet, but this is definitely a community I’ll be keeping on my radar.

You get what it pay for. Crime✔️ I personally have had 2 catrs stolen from the parking lot. When asking mgt for access to the cameras that point to the parking areas, was told they don’t work. Filth ✔️ Several residents with dogs never pick up their dogs poop. Smells like urine outside especially potent under that hot AZ sun. I’ve even watched a man pee in a wall outside of the apartment building along the walking path. Several homeless people walking thru and digging thru the dumpsters regularly. Even sleeping in the discarded furniture by the dumpsters. Lack of parking ✔️ You’re given one assigned parking spot and too bad, not the leasing offices problem is someone parks in your spot- your problem to handle. And you better not park slightly crooked or you’ll be towed. You look at the sky

I’ve lived here three years and every winter it’s the same: repeated water shutoffs, no hot water, and “emergencies” that never get resolved. Just in recent weeks we had shutdowns on Dec 22, 23, 29, 30, 31 and Jan 5, 13, and 15. This has continued through multiple ownership changes with no lasting fix. Management access and communication are poor—walk-ins are discouraged, everything is pushed to the portal, and complaints are often ignored or minimized. The complex markets itself as a community, but noise, safety, and basic upkeep are handled inconsistently. The property accepts vouchers, which I support, but the pricing for residents without assistance is extremely high for the conditions. People who barely miss voucher eligibility are paying around $2,000 for a 2x2 while dealing with c

New management took over 10/1/25. We were all so excited to get rid of Chamberlain and have a new company that would care. Oh that thought was a joke. New company doesn't answer the phone, they are never in the office, add charges to your rent that are not legally permitted and rumor has it are about to violate our lease terms by charging us individually for utilities. Great but they claim notice to the community went out 10/1. The only notice on our doors received to date was "hey new management, new portal, new name". They are all liars. Avoid this community with every dollar, its a terrible place to live.

I made a post originally blaming the past management company but this new one is no better. I’ve been a resident a little over 3 years, I’ve dealt with tons of issues, maintenance related had to change apartments 3 times. This new company gave us hope but they are just as bad as the last company but worse!!! Now they are punishing us as residents because they bought a bad property and now us as residents have to pay for it. The “regional” manager Molly is the most caddy I professional person I’ve met. I had some illegal charges posted to my ledger. Called the office 4 times on Friday, no answer. I finally have to take time out of my day to go and try and talk to them (mind you this is me having to leave work, and missing money as a single month we of 3) to go up there and find both offic
