College Town Tucson

While it isn’t perfect, I have personally had a very positive experience living at College Town. As a college student, I like how close this complex is to the Cat Tran route. All I have to do is walk across the street and catch the bus to UofA. I also like how quiet the complex is at night. I have spent many late nights studying and I have never felt bothered by noise outside. I also feel safe living here, despite all the craziness that can happen in Tucson, there were never any points where I felt unsafe living here. Everyone I have met while living here has been really nice, both the staff and other tenants. I also like how the staff constantly inform us about events and happenings around the complex, I feel like I always know what's happening. The place is also maintained regularly, the bushes and trees get trimmed, the sidewalks get swept, and the pool is cleaned. On the topic, I think the pools are nice, while I admittedly don’t use them very often, they are nice amenities to have, especially for the warmer months. The actual rooms are decently spacious, there is a lot of storage space and I have enough room to put all the furniture and appliances I want. While you shouldn’t expect an experience on par with the higher end apartment complexes, I would still overall recommend College Town.

Safety has become a major concern at this apartment complex. Within just two days, my car was gone through and items were stolen, and packages were taken directly from our front door. These incidents make it clear that security is lacking. This property urgently needs an on-site security patrol that regularly walks the grounds, not just cameras or signs. Until there is a visible security presence actively monitoring the property, these incidents will continue, and I do not feel safe living here. The only positive right now is the staff — Jessie Driver, the property manager, and the maintenance technician have been extremely helpful, responsive, and genuinely kind, which I truly appreciate. Unfortunately, great staff does not make up for the lack of security and feeling safe.
