Sunny Brook Apartments

I have lived here twice over the past 4 years. I enjoyed both stays very much. The location is perfect as it is a 2 minute walk from Downtown Mesa, a very safe, friendly, and vibrant DIY community. It is right across the street from a police station.
I would go out to run regularly. It was a lot of fun living here because of where it is and easy access by bus to the light rail (down the road on Main), but it is a bit out of the way for the rest of the city. It is surrounded by retirement communities.
The rest of the tenants are weird in some way. I didn’t really meet anyone normal while I was living there. I felt like everyone was a character in a bizarre Stephen King novel. However, the professional staff were very kind and helpful at all times. I never had problems with my mail. There was a newsletter that was okay.
The laundry room had problems once in a while. It wasn’t a huge issue. The apartments aren’t that pretty, are kind of old-​fashioned, but they are spacious. They don’t smell too well so bring something to freshen up. You will be locked in during the summer months because when it’s warm, it’s very, very warm. Air conditioning was prohibitively expensive here. Two people would feel very comfortable in a 1-​br apartment.
They typically go by 6 mo. minimum leases. You get at least 1 covered parking space. They will tow your car if you do funny business. There are public areas to relax on site. I prefer the West side of the complex.
I never had any bug problems of any kind.
There is a large trash dumpster and many containers for recyclable materials. It is not a very large community so that is nice. There is probably no better modest place to live in Mesa.
