Review from Apartments.com
Not worth the headache!
February 24, 2025There are countless issues with these apartments. Constant water issues. You won't have hot water for days, sometimes you have no water at all, do to the constant water shut offs. Homeless people everywhere. Your car is not safe here, neither from break-ins nor from the predatory people they have patrolling the apartments. They can boot your vehicle at whim and you have no recourse of action. Either pay the fee or get towed. They act like they own the place and the apartment manager lets them ...because they get a kickback from the fees. The buildings are falling apart, it feels like you are going to fall through the floor. Even my tiny little self feels like I'm going to crash into the apartment below me. The maintenance is terrible, nothing gets fixed. Do yourself a favor and live under a bridge, you will have better amenities and service than you will get here.Property Manager Responded
February 25, 2025We appreciate all reviews, and appreciate you giving us the chance to improve by providing us with this feedback. Falling short of meeting your expectations is not to the standards we strive to achieve.Thank you for providing this information so we can improve upon our services. Desert Creek Apartments
Property Manager Responded
February 25, 2025We are truly sorry to hear about your less-than-excellent experience and appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the hot water issue. We did our best to communicate clearly with residents and offer assistance during this challenging time. Regarding the recent car break-ins, we understand how frustrating and upsetting this can be. While preventing theft can be difficult, we continue to work hard to counteract these problems. Our parking services patrol the property regularly, and as outlined in the lease agreement, vehicles that are found with expired registration or without a visible parking permit are subject to being booted or towed. Please know that management does not receive any kickbacks from this service. Additionally, we have not had any instances where a resident has fallen through their ceiling. However, if you feel there may be an issue in your apartment, please reach out to us directly, and we will be ...happy to look into it and address any concerns.Thank you for your understanding, and we are here to help with any further issues you may have.

February 19, 2025We actually like living here. However, rent keeps going up, we don't get up to date calls on our issues and there's always trouble with the water. There's a lot of people becoming homeless due to the rent going up every year. We're blessed to have a place to live for now.Property Manager Responded
February 19, 2025Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. After reviewing our records, we do not see any outstanding work orders for your apartment. However, we would like to resolve this issue promptly. Please feel free to contact us directly at (505) 884-3752 at your earliest convenience, so we can address any concerns and work toward a solution. We look forward to hearing from you.

February 8, 2025The apartment wasn’t really ready to be leased. This is my third week living here, and every single day, I’ve had to go to the office to request maintenance for something in my unit. I had a water leak in my bathroom sink, which prevented me from using the tap for 4 days. It took multiple requests before they finally sent someone to fix it. There are cockroaches in the apartment, and despite weekly pest control visits, the problem persists. Now, for almost two weeks, the entire complex has been ...without hot water. I’m beyond tired and incredibly frustrated at this point. It seems the management is neither responsible nor attentive to their tenants’ needs.Property Manager Responded

January 29, 2025Desert Creek is a timeless apartment complex that has been in Albuquerque since the 1970's. The apartments are being upgraded with new carpet, paint, and flooring all the time as people are moving in and out. They are spacious for the price. Honestly, I love my apartment, management, and maintenance team. Oh yeah, the location is great too!!!Property Manager Responded

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
