  • Scam. Money hungry.

    April 22, 2023
    Literally the worst apartment. Way to much. Can Literally rent a house for what they are charging. The NEVER fix things properly. They will lie to your face. And then give you 7 different fees on top of your rent.

    The whole team at La Vida Buena Apartments is amazing! They are professionals who really know their job and are genuinely so nice and helpful. They take very good care of the property and the tenants. The neighbors are friendly and the new tenants and the ones who have been here a long time have nothing but good things to say about living here. La Vida Buena is a beautiful and well kept complex with large and well laid out one and two bedroom apartments.

    Here at LA Vida Buena we have a diverst community. I love how peacfull it is here. Our apartment is a 2bd 2bath with plenty of room. The patio area is big enough for a nice relaxing area or patio set. Management is great. They do everything they can to make it nice here. They are friendly and respective. These apartments once had some bad reviews but with the new management they have really turned this place into a home. I never want to live anywhere else.

    The apartments here are larger than most in ABQ. The maintenance is okay. The manager is a really nice guy, but does not seem to enforce property policy.
