Soundscore sits at 71 out of 100, and the traffic and airport components drive that number more than local businesses do, which tracks with the property’s proximity to Loop 101 and a flight path roughly 22 miles from Sky Harbor.
What residents say
Sixty-eight reviews split almost exactly in half: 30 five-star and 30 one-star, with only 8 reviews anywhere in between, 5 four-star, 0 three-star, and 3 two-star. That is a genuinely bimodal distribution, not a middling 3.0 average smoothed over. The five-star cluster names one staff member repeatedly across separate, independent reviews as the reason leasing went smoothly. The one-star cluster centers on two recurring complaints: slow maintenance response, including one account of a language-barrier issue during a repair visit, and a disputed move-out damage charge tied to move-in condition that wasn’t documented in writing.
