Property Ratings at Smith and Rio
Excellent place to live. Very comfortable and safe.
I love Smith and Rio! All of the amenities are kept in pristine condition and there is a wonderful work-from home space. Staff is very friendly and accommodating
Almost 1 month in and I am absolutely thrilled with my choice. Moving from a house to a 1 BR apartment was scary but how nice and spacious they are I am very happy! The amenities are phenomenal as well as the location of Smith & Rio. So much to do all around and easy access to all highways and airport. Love it here!

The facilities are well-maintained, and the residents are all smiles and lively. Above all, being able to walk to Tempe Marketplace is a big attraction. Unless I have a special reason, I can get everything I need within a 1km radius!

From the start the leasing agents Juan & Coleen have been very friendly and went above and beyond to show me all available floor plans that fit my needs. Once I applied online the application process was fast and easy. I got my approval about 5 minutes after my submission. Now that I am moved in I can tell that residents are happy to live here, the high amenity usage and the how many residents walk outside is nice to be around. Smith & Rio has exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Thank you

As a resident of Smith and Rio for the greater part of the past year, I have found my experience here to be nothing short of opulent. From the moment I stepped foot on the premises, I was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff at Smith and Rio are not only professional but incredibly polite and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure residents feel welcomed and valued. The environment at Smith and Rio is truly something special. It's more than just a place to live; it's a community. Whether it's enjoying the beautifully landscaped grounds, taking a dip in the sparkling pool, or simply chatting with neighbors in the cozy common areas, there's a sense of camaraderie and belonging that is hard to find elsewhere. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Smith and Rio. The polite staff and welcoming environment make it more than just a place to live – it's a home. I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a top-notch living experience.

My experience with Smith and Rio has been exceptional. From the time I toured the property , to the move in experience, to the first month settling in it has been a great place to live. The place is newer and kept looking very clean. I see constant efforts of always maintaining a polished appearance in all common areas. The apartment itself has ample storage and feels spacious. Everything is very comfortable. Color choices feels fresh and modern. A property can be nice and well kept but it really means nothing if the property is not managed well and the staff customers focused then it is not worth living in, yet Smith and Rio staff are friendly, customer focus, from tour to after move in. They have managed to build a product and service it 100%. The garage is well lit and feels safe. The property is across from the marketplace and close to 101 and 202 freeways. Kudos to Smith and Rio team

I have lived in this building for about a month now and I keep waiting for the "bad" to happen, but I have to say I have yet to see anything even close to bad. The gym is so inviting and easy to use that I have started working out again. The pool area, community room, and dog area/spa are all amazing and very welcoming. The views I have from my deck and sky lounge are beautiful. The staff has been fantastic from the first time I walked in the door to look through the move in experience and continue to be friendly and smiling every time I see them. Great Job to the powers that be to have everything in place for such an amazing place to live.

I have the pleasure of being a current resident at Smith + Rio near the Tempe Marketplace and I must say, my experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the friendly and welcoming leasing staff who went above and beyond to make me feel right at home. The apartment itself is simply stunning - spacious, modern, and beautifully decorated with all the amenities one could ask for. The attention to detail is so impressive and it is clear that no expense has been spared in ensuring that guests have the most luxurious experience possible. What really sets this apartment complex apart, however, is the level of service provided by the leasing staff. They are always available to answer any questions I have and are quick to address any concerns or issues that arise. Their warm and friendly demeanor truly make me feel like a valued resident and I couldn't ask for better hospitality! Overall, I would highly recommend the Smith + Rio apartment complex to anyone in search of a comfortable, upscale living experience in the Tempe area. The combination of top-notch amenities and exceptional customer service truly make for a memorable stay.
