I’ve lived in two apartments in downtown Phoenix, with Blume on Central being my current home for the past year and a half. This is truly an excellent apartment complex. First, it offers top-class facilities and is very well-maintained, yet it's surprisingly affordable compared to other complexes in the area. The gym and lobby have a sleek, hotel-like feel, and the pool is fantastic. The management team now heats the pool, allowing residents to enjoy it year-round.
In contrast to my previous apartment, where the management was rude to children, the team at Blume on Central is exceptionally polite and respectful to everyone. For parents, another bonus is that it's just a 30-second walk to Basis Phoenix Central, so there's no need to drive your kids to school.
We came and toured this beautiful property with Aubrey H. She was very professional and showed great knowledge about the property, all questions were answered in detail. Great experience! Great amenities and everything was kept clean! Thank you Aubrey for a great experience

I recently moved in a few months ago, and have had nothing but an exceptional experience from the Blume on Central teams and my stay here. The leasing staff is very nice and respectful, and I have had no need to submit work orders. The community is beautiful, gym is very nice, pool area is maintained. This community is in a great location, and I am so happy I’m living here. Safe too! Nothing but 5-star service here at Blume. Thank you Blume Team!
Aura Central is simply magnificent. From the moment, we set foot into this place, we are greeted with such a familial presence that radiated throughout the facility. Armed with Carly as our tour guide, we observed multiple apartments that were unique and promising in their own right. However, as soon as we gazed upon this beautiful studio that we reside in currently, we knew we were hooked. From the monthly community activities, which are a tenant favorite by the way, to the widespread friendly atmosphere at Aura, this is a place to be for a long time to come.
I have lived at Aura Central for just under a year now and I have to say that It is the happiest I have been at an apartment so far. I have moved 7 times since living in Phoenix and this is the first apartment I’ve lived at that has their act together.
No apartment complex is perfect by any means but the leasing staff tries very hard to keep this building in great shape. I appreciate the leasing managers trying their absolute best to be on top of any and all concerns I may have. When I first moved in I had a minor issue with my thermostat and Autumn was very efficient and quick to get it resolved for me. There has been a few times someone let their guest park in my parking spot but Carly has always been super quick to respond to that and get it taken care of for me. She tagged the car and gave me a temporary parking spot in the mean time that way I had another place to park. I greatly appreciate having a leasing office that responds quick and picks up when I call!!
I know quite a lot of people in the building and I personally think the leasing office is very fair when dealing with residents.
The apartment itself is beautiful with easy to clean floors, sleek light fixtures and high ceilings! The neighbors I have next to me and above me have been very respectful of noise and footsteps and I barely ever hear them. I plan on renewing my lease with Aura as they have been very accommodating to any and all needs.
A bonus to living here are all the fun events that Autumn and Carly put on for the residents. They definitely take the extra mile to throw fun events. Some of the ones I enjoyed were: charcuterie night, a paint class and a build your own flower bar. They definitely don’t skimp out when it comes to giving back to the residents which I appreciate because living in a luxury apartment is an investment and they make it worth it.

Lived at Aura Central for a year 12/2022 to 12/2023 and here’s my real review:
Staff: Autumn and Carly are friendly and attentive to any needs or concerns. They are creative and thoughtful about events for the community.
Amenities: I used the gym quite a bit and it has just about everything you need. The free barbells are appreciated. Also used the grill often and the misters are nice when grilling in the summer. The coffee machine downstairs was nice for when I felt like switching it up from using my own or going out.
Maintenance: the couple issues that came up (nothing major) were resolved in a timely manner.
Unit: I wish the countertops were sealed but I was able to get a good granite sealer spray to clean the counter with often. You treat it once a week and it’s as if they’re sealed. My unit faced N Central ave, wouldn’t recommend just because of obnoxiously loud cars. If that doesn’t bother you, then you’ll love it. I loved it except for that. The upstairs shower water pressure made it more or less unusable as the pressure was so low. A non factor if you don’t have a two story unit. Loved the appliances, especially the gas stove! The natural lighting in my unit was truly sensational.
Overall, loved my unit and enjoyed living at Aura. It’s a solid location for getting around PHX, the price was competitive, and the community has great, friendly people 💯

If you are looking for a nice apartment community to live in, I highly recommend Blume On Central. I have done 2 leases here and just moved to another unit to go into the 3rd lease. The maintenance team are friendly. The apartment manager Reagan is absolutely wonderful. She makes living here a great experience.

Great experience! Had my doubts after they changed management companies but the new team was always courteous, flexible and quick to respond. Great amenities (gym is one of the better ones in the area). The jacuzzi and mister have been broken pretty often lately though which is definitely a bummer.
Met some awesome people here and would definitely recommend for anyone looking to live in Midtown!
