Sun King Apartments

At least the utilities are included, neighbors are not to friendly, can’t wait to use fitness room. pool area could be kept up better but can’t have everything, it’s a old property. Jeana and jade are always nice. never met manager.
Would love to see some of these trees gone to many bees

I Moved here in 2014 and loved the place. Great location, really nice office staff. It was dated and needed work but everything important worked well. If not maintenance was good and pretty fast. Utilities included and reasonable rent for the area (unless you had any view of the pool) However once the new manager came in it all went downhill. They now brag of «remodeled «units however they are not remodeled. They paint nasty 40 year old cabinets white and add new doors and drawer fronts that are poorly installed. There are new appliances and fixtures, but they are of the poorest quality and look bad fast. The counter tops are painted with a coating that chips off and the tub is also poorly refinished. They installed new shower walls over the existing tiles but the nastiness behind (_​mold) comes out quickly. In my unit the front window grows mold and I have to constantly clean it up. The fitness center was closed over a year and continues to be closed. It is repainted and re carpeted but the equipment is the same useless broken old junk. The clubhouse, tennis court and pool area are embarrassing, as are the laundry rooms where tenants leave disgusting trash, clothes and other items on the counters. The answer for everything here is paint, There are rats late at night but so far only outside. The property was recently repainted (poorly) The current maintenance team cannot fix anything and it takes 5 – 10 days for them to show up and not help you. As a matter of fact they just make it worse and you learn not to call. Management will not enforce any rules. They will leave a general note on some ones door and then will always tell you there is nothing they can legally do about it even though the rules are in a signed legally binding contract. I have to daily listen to my neighbors subwoofer. For all of this the rents are skyrocketing. They want $ 725 for a 500SQF studio with half size, yes half size appliances and a half job «remodel «You can do so much better for the same money anywhere else.

I moved from here in June 2015 after being a loyal tenant for over a year & a half. As my previous reviews explain, we had numerous problems with this complex. But now I have to write another review because during the time I lived at Sun King we had constant water leaking from the ceiling every single time it rained. The constant water saturation & negligence of this apartment complex resulted in a horrible mold problem. It’s was in our vents, ceiling & carpet. Thankfully we moved (not after some ridiculous drama from the apartment complex’s «managers») but I’ve been having serious lung issues, especially since this time last year & a doctor finally pin pointed my health issues to MOLD EXPOSURE! I have had chronic lung infections on & off for the last 2 years & now I have several nodules in my lungs. ALL THE WHILE SUNKING just kept bringing only buckets to catch the water that would come thru the ceiling & into the floor. They did nothing to fix or resolve the mold during the time I lived there & now I literally cannot take deep breathes at all because of the pain & wheezing it causes me. If you value your health stay away from this property. They coerce tenants to leave positive reviews, as you can see in the remaining reviews (it’s all the same reviewer who cannot spell or use proper grammar in his reviews). It’s pretty sad the lengths this complex will go to avoid doing the right thing. And it’s BARELY in scottsdale, but touts scottsdale pricing for slum conditions. We were able to find a new apartment in one single day, IN OLD TOWN right by the green belt, for LESS $ & more working, functional amenities. Trust me when I say any other complex under the sun is probably better than sun king.

Not what it used to be. Have had nothing but maintenance and pest problems. After the new manager came in, everything has gone downhill. Don’t really like living here but all utilities included is the only thing keeping me here.

Nothing much changed but it’s livable conditions until I can find better. I’m just grateful right now to have a home thank God. I’m not trying to get anybody to move here or not move here this is not the worst apartment ever I’ve learned to deal with it and be grateful. I learned that it could always be worse, it’s a quiet neighborhood some of the neighbors are nice friendly. No one will bother you if you’re private like me. And everyone kind of stays to them selves they have been working on the gym so I’ll keep you posted on that they have been remodeling and it’s almost done. My cable Internet phone combo has a hard time working & it’s about 20% of the complex so if you move here you might have problems with cox and my service for my cell phone doesn’t work lol so if I had to call 911 and I had no service I would probably be in trouble. I have to go outside to make a call on the cell phone sometimes i wont get calls & text or they’ll come late unless I use my house phone. It is a bit pricey and I think it’s way to small for the prices they ask for don’t add up with what they offer. I got a brand new fridge since the last update. They have been making an effort to fix things as they come up. I will continue to update as I see fit with good and bad and so far so good once I changed my outlook and couldn’t find another apartment in time I had to come to terms that I’ll be here for awhile so I might as well enjoy it. –Tip … I think this is a good complex just not for long-​term living.

I moved in to Sun King in July of this year. I love the staff, pool, grounds, neighbors and my apartment. I haven’t had any bug problems, the apartment was clean with new flooring when I moved in. I love how pet friendly staff and tenants are. Nothing but great things to say about,“My GREAT Home!!!

I’ve lived here for a year and just renewed. Like any apartment complex, it has its good and bad points.
The Good:
1) The location: Within easy driving distance of the Scottsdale Fashion Square, Old Town Scottsdale to the east, and the freeways and the big strip mall at 44^th and Thomas to the west. A (smallish) Fry’s grocery store is literally a block away, a full-​service Albertson’s and Safeway are short drives away, and a pretty good breakfast place is at 56^th and Thomas.
2) The staff: Katie and Cici are missed to be sure, but I’ve never personally had a problem with either the awesome Jeana or any of the newbies. I’m always greeted with a smile and they’ve proven helpful and understanding. No complaints.
3) The brick-​and-​concrete construction: 90% of the time, I literally have no idea whether my neighbors are even home, let alone what they’re watching on TV or arguing about. You just plain don’t hear much through those thick walls.
4) Three on-​site laundry facilities that all take debit cards.
5) Your gas, electricity, water, sewer AND A/​C are all included in the rent. There were some problems earlier in the summer with the A/​C at the east end of the complex, but those were fixed a month ago and my apartment is currently a nice, frosty 68 degrees around the clock.
The Bad:
1) Old appliances. The dishwasher may be older than I am (and I’m in my 40s). Having said that, everything works.
2) Old plumbing fixtures. Again, everything works. Given the cheaper price as compared to nearby complexes, I can’t complain too much. I could move three blocks east, have all-​new everything, and pay twice as much (once the utilities are figured in). But I’d rather spend my money on other things.
3) There was a cockroach problem early on, but I haven’t seen any in months. And they have an exterminator come through once a week: just let the office know you need him.
Summary: If you’re looking for an apartment complex in Scottsdale with a GREAT location, very reasonable rates, and concrete walls (I cannot overstate how nice those are), you could do a lot worse.

Had a great time at the leasing office .so nice to deal with lovely lady’s who are very helpful and compassionate I sed I needed a place asap and that’s what they did lovely pool and nice matnence

With the new management, this place has become a lot less awesome. I don’t know where they got thus new manager from, but she needs some lessons in honesty, professionalism, and compassion.
I’ll be leaving once my lease is up… If not sooner.

I lived here in 2009 and it was cheap and perfect for a 21year old until I came in to a mouse eating my bread on the counter one day. Katie helped me get out of my lease right when she got back from Mexico and I appreciated that. She even offered me a one bedroom for the same price but I didn’t want to take the chance. The asst manager was horrible!!! She made me wait till Katie was back before she would get my lease terminated. They finally caught the mouse but left it in the cabinet for 2 days because they thought I was living there (I came to get clothes while I stayed at my aunts). Doesn’t look like the place had changed much… :(

Bad, bad and more bad. Dirty, unkept. A/​C broke it i was 87 in my apt at 10 o’ clock at night, took them weeks to handle the situation. They could seem to care less. I fixed things there (cabinets, frige, sink) and they still didnt return my dep. apt was left spotless and shampooed. They lost packages from the mail. There are roaches everywhere, who knows what other bugs. All in all just bad! I want to leave 0 stars!!!
