Curve at Melrose

We’ve lived here for 3 years and unfortunately have watched this property decline significantly. When we first moved in, the management and maintenance team were fantastic. Since then, turnover has been constant and it shows. Problems rarely get resolved and instead get passed along to the next manager. The dog park is honestly a biohazard at this point. It’s rarely cleaned unless residents sent multiple emails to complain, and at one point staff were literally using Fabuloso on the turf until residents called them out for not using pet safe solvents. The urine smell is so overwhelming you can barely walk past it without gagging. I honestly don’t know how people live in the units above the park. Security is another MAJOR issue. The main gates are constantly broken and at one point were left wide open for nearly two months. There have been multiple car break-ins in the garage, including my own where my window was shattered. Even vehicles stolen! Despite this, there are no security cameras in the garage, only at the gate entrances where they’re far less useful. The “security patrol” is also nearly nonexistent — I see them walking the property maybe twice a month. If you’re considering moving here, do NOT move onto the third floor. The hallways have had a terrible odor for over six months that management has failed to fix. People are literally moving out because of it. Management claims they’re “working on it,” but the only thing that seems to happen is occasional carpet cleaning. At this point the carpet clearly needs to be replaced entirely. Amenities are also poorly maintained. • The hot tub is rarely functioning. • Pool maintenance is lacking • The gym equipment is outdated, and both the bike and elliptical were broken for months. • The grills are so poorly maintained they can literally catch on fire. Safety in common areas is also concerning. We’ve seen unhoused individuals sleeping in the garage, on the shared patio, and even in the hallways. At one point someone was sleeping in a chair that belonged to my neighbors. The unfortunate reality is that the residents care far more about this community than the people running it. The only reason we stayed as long as we did were because we love the neighborhood and we have incredible neighbors who truly look out for each other. The sense of community among residents is the best part of living here. But at this point, the property would honestly be better managed by the people who live here than the leasing office.

Good place to live. I love the view of my apartment just directly to Camelback. The leasing office staff — particularly Alicia and Poleth — are exceptionally responsive and always willing to help with whatever you need. The area is pretty cool with lots of restaurants and coffees. The neighbors are friendly and welcoming. The only area with some room for improvement is the consistency of common area cleaning as well the shut down of doors and parking gates, though the staff genuinely puts in the effort. Overall, I would recommend this community for living.
