⭐ Pros:
• Communicative leasing office
• Large complex with nice amenities (pools, soccer field, basketball courts)
• Spacious apartment with good storage and balcony
• Affordable rent (~$1,000/1br)
❌ Cons:
• Outdated kitchen with peeling cabinets, mildew smell, and recurring pest issues (roaches & even a scorpion)
• Bathtub floor started cracking within days of move-in
• Laundry machine smells of mold with visible buildup on the drum
• Toilet has mold inside the bowl and around the water outlet area
• AC unit and bathroom fan are abnormally loud and disruptive
• No clear path from parking lot, making move-in difficult
• People sleeping under the stairs late at night (safety concern)
• Abnormally frequent police presence
Overall: The cons heavily outweigh the pros. I’m grateful for my short-term lease & I cannot wait to move out!!

DO NOT RENT THERE! My experience at granite bay was terrible. The property manager named Janet, tried to force me to pay for another persons apt. I was late on rent, however not outside of the rental terms. During the conversation regarding payment and with a check ready to give to her including late fees, she insisted that I pay for another persons apt. I asked why, however she sat there staring at her computer trying to play it off as if she was not talking to me because of the camera placement inside of the office. She was talking to me and tried to force money out of my pocket. It was an arresting experience; her trying to extort money from me. Do not rent from granite bay as a market rate paying tenant. I was happy to be approved for an apt, however not happy being extorted. This ended my Phoenix, AZ residence. Janet was not wearing headphones. She was being sneaky and malicious. Hopefully Janet has been fired since 2022. How many other people with a few Pennie’s in their pocket have suffered from an attempted extortion by Janet, the Granite Bay property manager? Janet should be arrested.

There has been an ongoing white truck on south side near building 5 blasting music with multiple guests screaming in the parking lot revving their engine. Security does not do their rounds we can never sleep anymore the new tenants have made it unbearable to be here. Calling the office doesn’t help.larger parties at the grill stations all hours of the night, Potholes all over the parking lot, homeless people breaking lights and car jacking, dog poop everywhere it’s disgusting to have a pile of poop right by the end of the staircase, horrible mildew smell from carpet, water shut off constantly with little notice, drains are always clogged shower, sinks, old outlets half don’t work in unit, for the price you pay you would want to feel safe at “Home”

🅿️ Parking Lot Pothole Olympics
The parking lot is basically a zombie apocalypse for tires—potholes so deep your rims might disappear. Step slightly off-line, and boom: tow truck swoops in, and you're hit with a $300‑plus fee—even if when it's your spot. It’s like paying rent twice—once in cash, again in anguish.
🪳 Roach Rave & Doggy Lockdown
Roaches here act like unpaid roommates, showing up uninvited and unbothered. Surprise bonus: management doesn’t warn you that your pup might need to be caged inside (“for his safety,” they say). You only find that out after you complain about the problem—when the roaches RSVP.
🏷️ Yet... For the Price?
Shockingly, given the garbage show you get, the rent seems unbeatable. If you’re pinching pennies and fine with constant parking trauma, insect roommates, and stealth tow fees—budget paradise.

Granite Bay is so nice and quiet despite being near a main road. Living here with such kind neighbors and front office staff has made my experience worth while!

Today, I walked into a warm, inviting office, looking to apply after living here when I was a child, remembering just how nice it was and Khalil made the process so easy! I can’t wait to move into my old/new home! 😌

All of the women who work in the office are exceptional when it comes to their job they do little social gatherings to make it feel like they actually care about us as tenants

In the 6 months I've been here, I've had nothing but good experiences at Glacier Bay. The grounds are really nice, gardening is kept up, lights all work, pools are beautiful. Also good experiences with maintenance and management. Maintenance has always been prompt (special thank you to Mike, who's awesome), and the office mgmt staff are always willing to help. They made updating my lease to add a pet very easy.
My apartment is just right for me, carpets are great, other flooring is good, plenty of closet space, and the balcony is really a nice touch. There's even more storage in a balcony closet. My only gripe is the coating they use in the shower/tub area. When I moved in, it still had not cured %100 and was a little tacky for weeks. In that time, the shower/tub has gotten really ugly through normal use, and there's a strict rider on the lease that will not allow the use of bleach or scouring powder like Ajax or Comet. That's my only negative, otherwise 5 stars.
