Inspirado Residences — Local services in Las Vegas

Honestly, I don't know how this place received 4 stars. I have very mixed feelings and probably will be all over the place but here we go: Let's mention that I live in Los Angeles and am planning to move to Vegas for work and continue my studies. I have a steady income and savings, I'm not an irresponsible millennial who's just calling Inspirado Apartments to waste their time. When I called to inquire about a 1 bedroom apartment and asked the lady at Inspirado about pictures or videos of units that I was interested in, she told me that no one asked her to send videos but she will send me pictures later on, because she was the only one in the office that day. Ok, understandable. Let's mention that a few places I've called prior sent me pictures and videos within minutes of our conversation, that's how easy it was! Other places also took time and went over extra fees/charges and told me more about their apartment complex, some of them also told me that they're willing to hold it for me since I'm moving from California. Some of those places probably have an idea that it's not easy to look for apartments when you're not physically in the state of Nevada. The lady at Inspirado also mentioned that she wouldn't hold a specific unit for me and if I make a decision I should hurry up and apply. Whoa,that fast ? I don't even know where I'm moving to! Tell me more about the unit, send me pictures or videos of similar units at least? So I told myself, maybe she will send it later, the apartment at Inspirado is nice...why don't I apply and see how it goes? The reviews are good, and I trusted them... Bad mistake, if a place is not willing to work with you from the beginning, it's not worth it. Same lady called me few hours later to tell me that I got approved and that she would send me pictures as she promised. I understand things get busy at the leasing office and you might be short staffed, but I already applied and got approved, how hard is it to send pictures? Ok, I waited till the next day. The lady called again, and told me if I made the decision about the unit? What? I haven't seen the unit!! She also said that she will send pictures later and mentioned that I should've waited before applying if I wasn't serious about the place because credit check takes away points from my credit score. I'm sorry, but how am I supposed to be serious about the place that never even did what they were supposed to do ?I was serious,but now, I found an apartment complex that provided me with everything that I needed. 3 phone calls, 3 days and nothing was done. Please, if you're reading this and you're moving out of state, think 3x before applying to Inspirado. I know it's affordable but if you pay $100.00 more you'll get a nice place and will save...

I rented an 800sq ft 1x1 for 2 years ($1,380) and just moved out. Overall I was extremely happy with this place, though it wasn't perfect. Here are my takeaways:

THE GOOD: The office staff and maintenance people are responsive and take their jobs seriously. Any problem that I had (though very few) were addressed and resolved quickly. I felt safe, the complex was usually quiet, and the gate ALWAYS worked and ALWAYS closed at night. There were never surprises and tenants were notified about updates via email and text.

I loved the floor plan of my unit and it was spacious with a large bathroom and kitchen area. Bedroom was a bit small in comparison, but I spent most of my time in the living room area. Loved the patio area too.

I lived on the 3d floor (walk-up, no elevator) and it was $100 cheaper per month than the standard rate. Great access to the freeway, grocery stores, dining via car. I would sometimes walk to Albertson's to get some exercise.

Fitness center was recently renovated, pool/hot tub was nice. I was I'd taken more advantage of those amenities.

THE BAD: NOT ENOUGH PARKING! Tenants only get (1) assigned spot that was covered, and then first come, first serve after that. If I had guests over during the weekend, I would tell them to park across the street at the Santa Fe Casino. My unit was next to a single-family, ranch-style home, and the dogs would bark at all hours of the day sometimes; and it could wake me up. I had some loud neighbors on the 2nd floor for a while until they moved out... I don't think they had legit jobs, but I wasn't about to snitch.

(The bathroom shower/tub was made out of fiberglass and it would allow dirt & soap to stick.)

THE UGLY: $50 trash/sewer-- junk fees in my opinion. Pool would be shutdown abruptly and for long stretches (from my perspective). Toward the end of my lease, my car was broken into. There's a security patrol car that drives around at night, but not every night. Not enough cameras throughout the complex.

I truly enjoyed living here and would recommend if it's in your budget. I personally believe the rates are too high (I'm a Vegas native), but people won't stop moving to Las Vegas...

Pregnant mothers. If I can give this place a 0 I would. I wanted to move in a quiet area, single mom, and also pregnant ever since I moved in they complain to me about a nuisance that they have no evidence of a racist neighbor. Continue to harass me take videos of me without my consent. They did nothing about that, but what they did gave me a three day noticed not even for the main issue that they so-called claim was a nuisance. I am pregnant with preeclampsia severe HG and she asked me to move to a different unit to accommodate a psychiatric nurse. Are y’all seeing what’s happening A mother who is literally on her deathbed is not respected in this community. They have did nothing but complain the whole time living here they charge you a $300 admin fee. My credit was good but they still charge me $1000 to move in and a few months later, they are causing me depression and stress do not waste your money The place is not even nice. They are doing some upgrades to the outside area, but that caused a lot of noise during the day and no telling when they’re going to be done complaining but there’s always noise outside. They have been doing work on the area since I moved in. The pool is never open. They throw large parties with food trucks with loud music. I’m just saying if you’re going to make rules they should follow them also. Don’t waste your time, especially if you are a single mother or a single father. This is not a family orientated place. They will take your money and kick you out. Just imagine telling these people I wasn’t even home around that time because I am in the hospital and they tell you to show proof that you were in the hospital Literally on my deathbed and they want me to get out. Do not come here if you have physical disabilities because they will not...
