What To Expect Living In This Mesa AZ Neighborhood | Apartment Tour

[@joseenriquez5833]

I lived in mesa by univerity and dobson area until 2012 and it was not bad at all idk how it is now and i cant believe how expensive az is $1900.00 for a two bedroom apartment thats freaking nuts back then those apts were like $600.00 with two months free rent

[@juelzd7172]

I used to live off of Dobson and souther in 2012 rent was $660 for one bedroom and utilities were included that same place is about $1300

[@annarodriquez1344]

I can't believe how much things have changed. When I was a single mom, I lived in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, washer and dryer apartment in Ahwatukee, really nice. My rent was $840. Times have changed ,sheesh

I'm hearing too many "some of the apartments ." Most times that means, if you want the stainless or black appliances it's an upcharge. Too bad she didn't show you an older unit. I guarantee you all of the people living there do not make 4600 bucs a month. Another banger Super.

Fun fact, I use to date one of these leasing "managers" back in the day. And if they always seem like they're your best friend like if there $ depended on it. It does! They get commissions only on new renters. So there job every month is to get as many ppl they can. If you're a existing tenant and there is issues with the property. They don't care if you stay or leave with a different attitude because they only get paid with new renters.

Do these places explicitly explain all the community fees (community electricity for the lighting and AC, the tech fee, “valet trash” fee, admin fee, Amazon locker fee, community gas fee, amenity fees like for the pool and gym, etc.)? I think what she mentioned was the taxes, but those other fees can range from $250 to $300 on top of the “base rent”.

When you said Food City, I thought you said Seafood City. And, I got excited. Seafood City is a Filipino grocery store. It looks like there isn't one in AZ. But, give it time. I heard Mesa is the spot where you got all the Asian grub in the PHX metro. That's a huge plus because I've always found that most of the Asian joints won't break your bank.

For anyone wondering Mesa is the largest and most populated superb in the nation now. Here is the run down for Mesa, AZ. There are two main streets that are bad, meth heads and homeless are rampant. 1. Main Street goes from east to west. From sossaman to Dobson it’s filled with methheads. The light rail runs on main. 2. University is a street that runs the same exact course from east to west it’s just a mile north. Less methheads and homeless but they are there. Anywhere north or south of these streets and it’s actually a really nice place to live.
