The manager Meranda was so sweet and helpful to me through the whole move in process which was done during this pandemic. My two bedroom apartment was very cute. Thank you Meranda.

Me and my family moved in here August of 2018. We haven’t really had any negative experiences since being here. We just signed a new lease with the complex. We had a couple maintenance issues and the management quickly responded and helped fix the issues. I look forward to being here for even longer. The rent is fair considering apartment complexes in the area.

We compared every listing in the surrounding area to determine which amenities are most common. If a building lacks an amenity that most others in the area have, it is a con. If a building has an amenity most others in the area do not, it is a pro. Similarly, price, schools, and size are calculated relative to the size, price, and distance to schools of the other properties nearby.How Valley Vista compares to other nearby properties.
