Aspire Tucson

My daughter loves living here, but my advice to parents would be to stay away. In my view, Aspire Tucson is owned by a predatory investment group that preys on young college students' need for community and connection. Instead of renting out a room at a fixed price, they sign individual leases and use variable pricing. We needed a few days to look over the lease and in that time the monthly rent increased from $1,200 to $1,500 for one bedroom. (in Tucson, of all places ... that's Manhattan pricing). After we signed, they informed my daughter that the unit she thought she was getting (with all of her friends) was placed with another student. This was traumatic and stressful and the company was completely unsympathetic to the situation they placed her in. On top of all this, they tack on hidden fees like $20 / month for use of the common areas and $2 / month for the convenience of paying rent on their portal direct from your bank via EFT. This is private capital run amok exacerbated by the fact that the University is over-subscribed.
