Really Sucks
May 28, 2023Moved in November 2022. It’s been six months and this the worst place I’ve lived since moving to El Paso in 2017. Memorial Day Weekend and the pool still isn’t open.Review from Apartments.com
I have enjoyed my years here
May 7, 2022Been at Desert Peaks since March of 2020. Went through 2 management companies now on the 3rd. Velo Residential took over like in January early February. You can definitely feel the difference in management. As for the staff before they are all gone. New manager New maintenance which by the way all friendly great people. Looking forward to going home from my 2 months getaway and seeing what other changes have been made.Review from Apartments.com
Waste of time
December 5, 2021Im not even living at this property. I was interested in living there, made the appointment with the girl the day before and we agreed on a time. I showed up, wasted my lunch time on going because the girl wasn’t even there. I called and called the office and knocked at the door and nothing. I never to heard back from her. I didn’t wanna believe the previous negative reviews but if this girl didn’t care to show up to the appointment then there’s some truth to them. Guess I saved myself a ...headache.Property Manager Responded
December 8, 2021We're extremely sorry to hear about this as issues in our customer service is not something we are known for. As you can see from our other reviews, we pride ourselves on providing great service and we'd like to do the same for you. We may not be able to change the past but if you give us a chance, we can work to make things right. Our team hopes to resolve this and to turn your experience with us around in a positive light.
