Pursuit Productions Review of Principal Residential group
We have been residents of Broadstone Roosevelt for...
We have been residents of Broadstone Roosevelt for over four months. The apartment and amenities are extremely nice, and the leasing staff is friendly, but we second the construction issues (from the previous reviewer) along with a few other areas of feedback.
It definitely hasn't been ideal to pay full price on an unfinished building, when upon signing, there were verbal completion timeframes given. For example, leasing agents said the pool/hot tub would be done by February when we signed our December lease, and it wasn't finished until mid-April. We completely understand construction set backs, but we felt mislead on the completion of certain areas. The gym restrooms and water fountains have been "coming soon" for over four months. The rental agreement does state that the building is under construction, and tenants overall accept this, but there is no true legal accountability on when things will be finished.
We have also heard through some friends (who work for the city) that the complex will be used for ASU temporary student housing in the Fall, which I think should definitely be mentioned upon signing. I know there are many students here currently, and the resident population is the BEST part about living here--we do have a good mix of young and older professionals + students alike. However, if there is an agreement with ASU to allot a number of units for students, that could possibly make Broadstone Roosevelt geared MORE towards student housing. Since I don't have exact details, I can't speak to the plans, but I do feel like it is worth the inquiry if that might be an issue.
Our biggest disappointment has been with our pets. We do pay a costly monthly pet rent, in addition to the pet deposit, and they are not allowed anywhere on the complex. They are banned from the common deck, the pool area, and both pool house and club house. There is also not anywhere to take them out within the complex, the only current dog stations are on the west side (outside) of the building. The area is generally safe, but I do feel a little weary taking my dogs out to the street late at night. We completely understand keeping the complex nice, especially with the furniture, etc., but we feel like we are paying quite a bit for them to be here, and it doesn't really feel very pet friendly at all. If you are someone who integrates your dogs in patio and hang out times, Broadstone Roosevelt is definitely not conducive to that.
The positives are the amazing common spaces, the pool area, the units are really nice--we haven't had any issues with ours. The maintenance and cleaning staff are AMAZING, so friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful, we love the Roosevelt area, the local restaurants/bars/shops are great along the street. The Broadstone social mixers are wonderful, as many people here have moved due to jobs or life changes. These social events allow people to connect with neighbors, enjoy open bars & activities, the leasing agents do a good job of hosting/curating.
