This is for the Galeria de Coronado property they own in Sierra Vista, AZ. The management and maintenance team located on site (Tammy and John) are helpful and prompt when dealing with residents and issues that arise. No complaints about Tammy or John. The only issues/concerns I have are in relation to the owners of the property. First is design of the homes. The only thing that could possibly come from the design is that low cost to build overtook common sense. Two sets of lights in the kitchen plus large light in dining area and another set in entryway at front door, yet no lights in living room. Upstairs has a fan in only the master bedroom, no fans in the 2 other bedrooms. No lights at all in any of the 3 bedrooms but we have 2 sets in the small hallway in between all bedrooms. Get a fan with lights...they don't cost much more than a regular fan. I don't know many people (if any) that do not need or want lights in their rooms. The heating/air conditioning is terrible. The upstairs is always blistering hot while the downstairs is cold. Electric company and maintenance has been here so many times to try and figure out how to even out the temperature and nothing. It's come to the point where I just wear extra warm clothing downstairs and strip down when I get upstairs. Walls are super thin and hear everything from neighbors through the wall. Then comes rent of these homes. Most are military personnel that live here and the cost of rent is above BAH. Anybody can look online and see what the DoD determines to be the cost of living for Sierra Vista. If you're a smart owner/management, you take this into consideration when determining your rent and who makes up your renters. Jacking up the prices again is only going to cause you issues in the long run. No one is going to turn around and recommend a property that is expensive to live in and tell them to pay $300-500 extra out of pocket per month.
