  • Great place to live!

    January 31, 2021
    I lived in a 1 bedroom at Altamira for two years and loved it. The views are unbeatable and the location is private while being close to everything in town. Management is fantastic. Very responsive to any concerns and they view you as a member of the family. Pool is always in great condition and all grounds are well kept. If there is anything that needs replaced or fixed in the apartment the maintenance crew responds very quickly and are respectful and courteous. Good community with great people! ...
    Highly recommend!

  • I love this place!

    August 29, 2015
    I've been living at Altamira Apartments for two years now and I have to say that I love it! The community is always clean and quiet. The office management team is very polite and professional. Whenever we've needed something serviced, the maintenance guy (who is awesome by the way) would come to fix it very promptly. This place centrally located from downtown Tucson and the Foothills with bike and hiking trails nearby. I like that it's on a hill so you can view all of Tucson. Plus, the view of ...
    the Catalinas is incredible! Great place to live!!! I'd recommend it.
