Verona Park Apartments

My wife and I lived their for 1 year and finally moved out. We actually moved before our lease was up because we did not want to deal with management any more. Within 1 year they went through an entire management team because nothing was getting done. Our Dish Washer took them a month to replace. We had terrible cockroaches and asked to get sprayed every week; they only sprayed once in 6 months even though they told me every week they would spray this coming Thursday. I know they never did as we had cameras in our apartment.



They tell you that no one can smoke in their apartments, but people do and management does nothing about it. The lease agreement actually states that management has the right to change their smoke policy any time they want on a per person basis.



They tried to fine us because we had a grill on our porch that we were not even using (they considered it clutter). Most people have their patios full of random junk and we got tagged for a nice looking grill that we never even used. In the lease it says that you cannot use a grill within 15 feet (i think) of the building.



We honestly loved the look of the apartments, but could not stand management as they constantly lied to us. The only nice person in management got fired about half way through our year lease.



I normally don't write reviews but I wanted to warn anyone from renting at this place.



***Update*** 4 weeks later



Our Lease was through Nov 30th, and we still had a few small things in our apartment on the 30th. I went on the 30th in the morning to pickup our vacuum and some boxes. When I arrived, there were people in our apartment painting (also painting the patio which they told us a year ago they would do), and cleaning some stuff up. They had thrown away our vacuum! That means that they went into our place of living, which we legally occupied until midnight that night; without asking and took our belongings. I went to the front desk to inquire about who was going to retrieve our vacuum. Management told me that maintenance would get it out.



When I brought up the fact that the lease was not over until the end of the day, she said "we never heard from you" ...with a smirk. Someone called me asking me about a final walk through, and yes, I never called back. How that has anything to do with them "breaking and entering" into my rightfully rented space, I am not sure. No one ever called and said they would be painting, or entering, or ending my contract early. I could and should press charges, and they are probably counting on my not pressing charges, because I am a "nice guy".



So, I took my vacuum and left. I then received a bill in the mail a week later for items that they replaced, non of which where new, or even in good condition when we moved in. I took pictures the day we moved in of everything to prove the condition. It was not my first time renting.



I have spoken with families that live there that are now moving after I told them about the mess, and they have their own issues with management. I will never let another person I know rent from these people again.

WoW this is the worst apt in mesa, az I hate this place. ROACHES, rap music playing in the office loud, signs says no cash but took CASH from me. BBB give this apt a 1 rating. This place SUCKs

Verona Park has been a good place to live at: clean, charming. The maitenance staff has always been on top of any problem I had and management is friendly. Plus the place is reasonable and has very nice landscape.
