Sterling Point Apartments, Phoenix – Pricing, Availability & Market Snapshot (as of July 10, 2026)

Is Sterling Point Apartments the same property listed as closed on Yelp? Yes. Yelp carries two separate business pages for this address: an active listing with recent photos and a current phone number, and a second, orphaned page marked “CLOSED” whose reviews date to 2016 and whose phone number no longer matches. The CLOSED tag belongs to the old listing, not the operating property.

Location & Access

The address sits on a six-lane stretch of Baseline Road at 38th Street. A resident account on ApartmentRatings describes the physical layout: two swimming pools, on-site laundry rooms, a picnic and dog-walk area, a community hall and exercise room near the leasing office, and six trash dumpsters split across the east and west sides of the property. The same account notes the #77 bus stop was recently relocated to sit directly across from the complex entrance, putting a transit stop within a short walk of the gate. South Mountain Community College, Arizona State University, and Gateway Community College all sit within a few miles.

Pricing & Availability

Independent pricing data, checked against the property’s own listing sites rather than pulled from them, confirms a $1,199 to $1,650 range as of mid-May 2026, per ApartmentHomeLiving.com. The only floorplan with a published per-unit price is the Luxe one-bedroom: $1,199 for the “Classic” version and $1,217 for the “Updated” version, both at 624 sq ft. Rent.com’s floorplan listings confirm the Sonoran (2 bed, 927 sq ft) and Phoenix (3 bed, 1,042 sq ft) layouts by size, but no source in this review breaks out their price beyond the aggregate range. A four-bedroom option is referenced in property marketing; no independently sourced size or price for it turned up in this pass.

As of this writing, the property is running a look-and-lease special: one month free, with a move-in deadline of July 30, 2026, per Rent.com.

The Luxe rows carry confirmed per-unit pricing; the Sonoran and Phoenix rows use the property-wide range because no floorplan-specific quote for them turned up in independent sources.

Is the listed starting price still accurate? As of May 16, 2026, $1,199 was the confirmed starting rent for the smallest floorplan. Pricing at this type of property moves with availability, so this figure should be reverified at the time of any actual inquiry instead of treated as fixed.

Market Context for Investors and Agents

This is the layer the renter-facing listing sites skip. Using the confirmed $1,199 starting rent against the stated 15.77% submarket discount, the implied South Mountain submarket average lands near $1,423 a month; against the 30.2% citywide discount, the implied Phoenix average lands near $1,718. Both figures are back-calculated from a single published comparison on ApartmentHomeLiving.com, so these are estimates built from one data point, not independently measured averages.

A gap this wide between property rent and both benchmarks is the kind of number an underwriter would want explained. It can reflect genuine value pricing, or it can mean the unit mix, condition, or amenity set is doing less for the rent than the submarket standard. Nothing in the public record reviewed here settles which.

Unit Mix & Amenities

The amenity set is unremarkable for the submarket. What actually distinguishes one South Phoenix property from another at this price point is condition and upkeep, covered next.

Does Sterling Point Apartments have working gated access? A named resident review on ApartmentHomeLiving.com, dated to the current management period, describes gate function as an ongoing problem before it was repaired, alongside new exterior lighting installed under property manager Susan G. That’s a maintenance-history detail the amenity table alone can’t convey.

Schools

Roosevelt Elementary District and Phoenix Union High School District aren’t competing claims about which district serves this address. They’re two tiers of the same system: Roosevelt Elementary District covers grades K through 8 across 20 schools in the Phoenix area, while Phoenix Union High School District covers grades 9 through 12 across 23 schools spanning 220 square miles of the city. A household with children in both age ranges deals with both districts at once.

What school district is Sterling Point Apartments in? Both: Roosevelt Elementary District for grades K–8, and Phoenix Union High School District for grades 9–12. That reflects two tiers of the same system, standard for this part of Phoenix.

Resident Sentiment – Sourced vs. Unsourced

What’s actually attributable: a named reviewer on ApartmentHomeLiving.com credits manager Susan G. with fixing the entrance gates and adding new lighting. A separate account on the same page describes pest problems, late-night noise, and non-residents occupying parking despite threatened towing.

Ownership & Property History

Public ownership, sale price, and construction-year records for this parcel weren’t accessible through the tools available for this pass; the Maricopa County Assessor’s parcel search is an interactive portal, not a static, linkable record. The total unit count is also unresolved: Redfin’s figure of 15 units carries a January 2023 update stamp, well out of date for a fast-changing listing. Anyone underwriting this property should pull the parcel record directly rather than rely on any aggregator’s count.
