Although surrounded by inhospitable desert, Phoenix is one of the largest cities in the United States, and the nation’s single largest state capital city. The area contains numerous galleries and museums, putting the people in contact with everything from the European masters to Native American craftsmanship to modern originals from Phoenix’s diverse artistic community. The Downtown cultural scene has developed into a top-notch feast of visual and performing arts, with symphony performances, live theater, and the popular First Friday exhibitions. Phoenix is also an excellent city for sports fans, being one of the few cities in America with local franchises in the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL. Several thousand students attend the two Arizona State University campuses in the city, as well as the over-50,000 who attend the main campus in neighboring Tempe.

We're thrilled to read that you recognize how much we care about our residents and that you love your home here at Desert Lakes! Thank you for sharing your five-star review with us and we wish you many more years of joy here!
The management is amazing, I believe Virginia the woman who helped me move in has worked here at this apartment for 10+ years! She is great with communication and helps you in anyway once moved in. I really loved how fast the maintenance showed up for smallest or big things that needed fixing right away. Also very kind. The grounds always look kept up l, which was great for my lil pup to run around. With doggy bags around the complex for your convenience. I always recommend people to live here. In fact got a friend from out of state to move in ??.. you will not regret living here. Awesome community with great neighbors.
Great place to live. Good views. Great amenities. Nice pool. Spacious rooms
I love living here. It's clean, well maintained, and very quiet.. well with the exception of my loud children (lol). The office and maintenance staff is always very nice and very helpful.
I highly recommend this complex! The office staff is super friendly and I have had zero issues. The place is kept clean and very taken care of! I absolutely love it here and the neighbors are kind and quiet. Theres two pools and a gym! The apartments are very spacious and the balconys are gorgeous.
This place is quiet and peaceful. The staff and neighbors are friendly. The gated community is safe. Never any issues. Definitely recommend this place.
Great place to live. The indoor gym is nice, the kid playground is a fun place for children, security guard at night is always around. Maintenance will always help out when requested. 5 stars
I have lived in AZ for 24 years and I have lived at desert lake apt for 4 years and it is the best place like family because everybody work in quality,respect, and harmony. The maintenance is quick and efficient. The office staff is always friendly, and respond quickly to any issues that we have. The grounds are clean and the neighbors are great and no one bothers anyone. I would and have recommended people to live here.
Desert lakes is an awesome place to stay, so quiet, green and clean at all times, easy access to main roads such as 27th ave and northern n I-17 is a big plus. I just love it. Proud to call it my home.
Very quiet. Great place to live. Close access to the 17
Desertlakes is an amazing community that is always cared for and maintain. Best apartments that I have ever lived at! Staff is always available when you need them and do their best to get your problem resolved. Recommend this complex!
Had a great move in when I first moved down here. Made me feel welcome. Moved from across the country and I felt at home
En casi 3 años que llevo viviendo aqui el personal de la oficina es muy atento y en epecial la señorita Daniela, los de matenimiento son muy gentiles y rapidos a la hora de que uno los ocupa, la limpieza y la seguridad son muy buenas, un lugar muy tranquilo y acogedor para vivir.
Desert Lakes is a wonderful apartment community. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The pool and gym are always clean and inviting and the business center is awesome and I use it frequently. The office staff is very knowledgeable and always welcoming. So happy to call this community my home.
Honestly, a hidden gem. The inside of the apartments themselves are so nice with all new amenities!!
Great Community, Awesome Management, Beautiful Apartments!
I lived here for almost two in half years. I always felt safe here with my kids. The grass is always cut. I have never seen dog poop. The matainence they always respond to request in a timely manner. Most of my neighbors lived here for years. Security is nice and the gates are locked at night. I love that the kids outside can openly play together without getting crazy.
Hello i am new to the community and I’d like to start by saying Desert Lakes Apartments are very nice and affordable apartments. Has a very homily feel. From the first day I moved in it just instantly felt like this is where I’m supposed to be!
Moved here about a year ago and I just love it! Quiet, peaceful and clean. Lush green grass with waterfalls. I love my apartment feels so cozy and comfortable.
My sister and I have lived here for about 4 months and we love it here! Staff and maintenance are so nice and helpful, and the complex overall is great. The community is very quite in general and the buildings are built well so that you can't hear your neighbors through the walls like most apartments. The grounds are kept very clean and the property is free of pests. We have no complaints! TML
Lived here close to 3 years and like that its quiet and very family friendly neighbors JM
I have lived here for about 5 years and it’s been great! We started in a 1 bedroom and moved to a two bedroom about 2 years ago. I appreciate the timliness of the staff and maintenance crew! The grounds are always beautiful!
I chose Desert Lakes because it was reasonably priced and the inside of the apartments were nice. I was willing to overlook things like the area being surrounded by homeless people, drug atticks and prostitues constantly walking around and begging for money. The sprinkler system shoots water all over walkways and they become muddy/slippery and get your pants wet to the point you have to take them off to dry. There are some questionable residents who are loud and allow their kids to run around screaming going up and down other residents stairways. There is no parking, people leave their cars parked in open spots all day for months even if they are broke down with flat tires and they have their own assigned parking spot. I can never have company because most don’t park in their assigned parking spot and a big dumpster for remodel trash takes up some of our parking for the last year, I have been living here for 3 years. They are renovating to raise the rent but the people renovating leave trash and things laying around that could cause harm wherever they’re working and no one cares to clean it I once saw a broken fridge under a stairway for 2 weeks. Water has to be shut off every other day for repairs. My car insurance went up because of frequent car break ins and I have seen a few busted windows. Yesterday I saw the police by the trash with a gun in each hand while another was inside of the dumpster looking for something. I can’t make this stuff up! Why worry about renovations to raise the rent when there are other things that need to be worked on?
The apartments are clean and the gated community is beautiful. We have had no issues living here. The staff has been extremely helpful and nice the whole time we have lived here. Highly recommended.
I have been living here over a year. One thing I can say is that maintenance requests are handled faster than at any apartment complex I have ever been in. I recently moved my sons here, got them their own apartment. The bright point in this whole crazy experience was Virginia from the office. She made life so much easier!
No one ever answers the phone during business hours no matter how many times you call!!! Office staff just sitting there doing nothing useless rude staff.
Great place to call home. The apartments are very well maintained, and if there ever is a problem the management takes care of it ASAP. Would recommend these apartment's to anyone.
I love that this Apartment Complex has scenic fountains and well cared for grass all over. It makes the area seem like a resort. It is always relaxing to walk home. The office staff are friendly, polite, and always willing to help. The apartment is clean and quiet. I will always recommend this place for its great value that won't break the bank!
I absolutely love this location! I have lived here for a little over a year and have never had any problems. The property is well-kept and welcoming. Maintenance requests are generally taken care of within 24 hours. There are even different events that offer free food and/or crafts and offer opportunities for you to get to know your neighbors. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
other than the parking the place is nice I recommend it for the price it's the best in the area
I love these place everybody works hard and tries there best i love it !
I really love living at Desert Lakes Apartments. Staff is friendly, complex is quiet, gated community, sparkling pool, clean apartment and grounds. Definitely recommend checking out Desert Lakes!
The apartments fitness center is open 24hrs and community is very peaceful
live here for a year now and I am definitely renewing my contract. the community is very peaceful, very clean and management is really helpful with all my concerns. I even referred a friend to live here. thank you especially to Danielle for being so nice!
Great place to live. Best Staff in town. Lived here for almost 7 years and never one issue Thanks Desert lakes
Desert Lakes Apts recommend who is looking for a place to live, Desert Lakes Apts is a safe, clean place and also has a school nearby for children.
I really enjoy the location of the apartments. I have lived here for about 8 years but originally stayed in a 1 bedroom for a couple of years. I now live in one of the remodeled 2 bedrooms and love it. The property grounds are always well maintained and any maintenance repairs are completed in no time from when the reported. It’s a quiet apartment complex and a friendly community. I like how they added the fitness center and it is open 24 hours.
i can honestly say that i have found my home, i love living here my apt is so big and all tile with a WASHER AND DRYER TOO. you will love living here just like i am
I have been living here for a few months now i I think this is the the best place to live.
I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR OVER 5 YEARS. FRIENDLY STAFF AND RESONABLE RENT
I love Desert Lakes Apartments. The apartments are very spacious and I love the split floor plans and 2 full bathrooms for the 2 bedrooms. The grounds are kept clean daily. The pools are nice and there is also a fitness center that makes it easy to go work out after work.
