Worst management ever. Do not go there! They will charge you tons of money for made up reasons. Do not go there because you think it is cheap cause you will end up paying a lot more than much better high end places. Huge disappointment! read more

Pros- Close to U of A. and that Is about it folks. Cons- Lack of care for residents. The Apt they show you before you sigh up is deceiving, and is nothing like what you'll move into. Inept office staff, and "managers", who have no communication skills. Faulty appliances that takes weeks to fix, or replace including the A/C. The carpet is old and smelly. Roach, and bug infestation, Dusty, lack of maintenance, and unhealthy environment. Sewage backs up into kitchen sink, and bath tub at times. Gate, and elevator breakdown frequently. The apt rental payment system portal out of order at times, so they could charge late fees. Good luck getting any of your security deposit back from these people when you move out. It seems that, the owners of these Apts are slumlords, in sheep's clothing. If you're a student and seeking peace of mind, stay away from Campus crossings 8th street apts., You'll be happier, and healthier. read more

For people searching HONEST reviews: Of course, the people placing a one-star are outliers and suffered issues so they think this is the worst option for them. Besides most of them are old and are no longer relevant to today's issues. To ensure that my review is not biased I will refrain from using stigmatized words like "prison" or "fraud". The only reason I am putting five stars is that I only paid 330/month, otherwise I would give it a four if I were paying more. Internet: The internet comes with the rent and is decent. You could play games with minimal lag if connected with an ethernet cable to the wall and wireless internet works great for school purposes. Maintenance: They do their job although it may take a week or two to get around to it unless it's an emergency. They do replace outlets and fix them upon request and to anything else that is broken. AC: As said in previous comments AC works for half a year and the other half is for heating. The AC is not great but also not bad. It takes a while for it to cool down rooms but once it's going it works fine. Hot water: They recently installed a new boiler so hot water should not be an issue anymore. Bugs: Depending on what floor you are on will determine the number of bugs you may see. Since I lived on the higher floors I have encountered about 3 huge roaches during my entire year living here. Washer/dryer: Most of them work but there are a few that do not work as well as a few (washer #1 always seems to end with clothes damper than others like #7 or #8). Dryers work great only if you are to clean out the lint from the previous uses. Additionally, the cost of washing clothes is cheaper than in other apartments. It costs 2 dollars in total one for wash and one for drying. Commute to school: The distance is perfect for people who do not want to drive to school, it is a 6-10 min walk to campus. Quietness: There are times when people throw parties but it is not a frat place where parties are being thrown weekly. It is pretty quiet and has minimal disturbances. In fact, it is quiet even as I am writing this at 10 pm on a school night. Btw anyone complaining about gates being broken should not be surprised as many people misuse or slam them. It is to be expected for some to fail when many people are using them. They do not stay broken and are fixed after 2 weeks. Conclusion: This place is perfect for those who do not mind sharing a room with someone (like a dorm) and pay 330 or 340/month. I would say this is better than the cheaper dorms on campus because it is cheaper and has fewer disturbances with its own kitchen. Dorms have to share kitchens and risk people stealing their food. Additionally, if you are an incoming freshman you will also not have to buy the 3000-dollar meal plan if you choose off-campus. The reason this place stood out to me the most was that after calculating the cost of living here, sharing a room with someone would allow me to spend just under 400 dollars including bills. My entire cost in the year was about 4600 including rent, food, and bills. This cost alone would be similar to the rent for one semester at dorms. PS. Be sure you know who you want to live with or you may regret it. read more

I found this place while searching for an apartment for my daughter that was close to campus. Despite the fact that it looks like a prison on the inside, and there were literally old couches and mattresses in her hallway for a year belonging to god knows who, my daughter decided to rent there because it was cheap ($315 for a shared room) and 2 blocks from campus... But I digress, you get what you pay for. The apartment is OLD. Furniture has cracks in the two loveseats- no sofa here, people! Pieces are clearly recycled pieces from their sister campus, cabinets are from the stone age. Faucets in the sink are rusty, and the toilet is so low to the ground, it's like the ones little kindergartners use. Bugs are definitely rampant! My daughter called several times for pest control, and on several occasions took care of the issue herself. This is on top of their supposed spraying that happens every two weeks. Also beware of the office keeping your deposit even if you leave the apartment in pristine condition... Well as good as it can get. They decided to keep everyone's deposit to replace rugs that were from what looked like the 70's. If they can use your deposit to upgrade their space, they will. They do not provide before and after photos, receipts for the cost of the rug, or anything proving that the replacement was warranted, and actual costs. You will just get an email from a no reply telling you why they kept your money. How do you keep someone's deposit and do not show proof? This is ABSURD, and we will be fighting this in court. SLUMLORDS. read more

There is better places than campus crossings on 8th street. They"ll fool you with the model floor plan looking spotless, when actually the rooms are so run down it's disgusting. I wouldn't bother asking maintenance to take care of anything because they"ll write it down and never come back. This passed year I paid $250 for a shared bedroom, it's not even so much the actual place because you get what you paid for. It's the horrible roommate matching process. The forms they had you fill out didn't even seem like it made much of a difference. To top it off, the floor plan they advertise as a shared bedroom with a private bedroom they ended up sticking another person in there without warning! So instead of three females in the apartment there were four! None of us found this out until the day of move-in and the apartments are not that big enough for more than four people. My advice, sign up with people you"ll actually want to live with, because there is no guarantee management will help you resolve your issue or assist in moving you to another space if you have an issue with a randomly assigned roommate. read more

After living at Campus Crossings on 8th Street for a whole school year and choosing to not renew my lease, I could not wait to write this review. As the other reviewers have emphasized, the list of complaints and nightmares goes on and on, so I'll just hit the big chunks... I'll start with the Management, because after all, that makes or breaks the living experience. Well, it sucks. No. That's not a strong enough word. It sucks *insert reproductive body part*. And by management, I don't necessarily mean the kids working in the office part time. Campus Crossings is a large corporation with many buildings and locations in many states, which is great. Good for them. But, as is common with large corporations, the people that sit in cubicles in large office buildings watching cat videos for 6 hours a day (pardon the cliche) are what hurt this place the most. When you go to the 19 year old part timer in the office and ask him where the hell your refund check is for this and that, or why the "manager" never emails you back, he can't really do anything about it. He's paid to smile and tell you "the manager will be in on Monday :)". Ok, great, thanks dude. I never once met the manager of this place. Apparently he or she was always at the "other property". So if you're looking for actual help and need actual answers when you have a question, stop reading here and take that brochure they gave you while you toured the beautiful model room and toss that in the trash. Recycle, actually. If you can stomach a management more useless than Tony Romo on a "good day" (sorry Cowboys fans), then hats off to you. Remember that model room you toured? Nice, right? Yea. Sorry, but you can find a nicer place in a South Tucson trailer park. Odors of cigarettes, burn marks on tables, broken drawers, broken shades, broken chairs cracked microwave. We found lots of hair clips in our carpet...Expect all of it. On top of that, the air conditioning, if you can call it that, keeps the place at a cozy 85-ish on beautiful 100 degree Arizona day. Ahh. Refreshing, isn't it? Nothin' better than a rooms that's hotter than two rats screwin' in a wool sock, amiright??? I think you get the point on this one, the quality of the apartment is shit. Strike two. Now, being 2 blocks from campus, having an absurdly high cost of living, and this being primarily U of A housing, one would think it would be bumpin on Saturday night, yea? Ha. I did, at least. I thought we would meet new people, have cool neighbors that would bring the beer when we watched the away games on TV (which we couldn't do anyway since there were only a handful of functioning channels). But then again, at this point in the review, why should you expect that? So no, there is none of that. I never once did anything social with anyone there. My roommate and I tried. We sat by the pool with a 30 pack, hung out in the courtyard, BBQ'ed. But nope. For the first month of living there, it felt deserted. So don't expect it to be the Levels, Next Levels, Hub, or any of those other high-rise, California rich-kid yuppie brothels. It's boring, a little creepy at night, and honestly a little embarrassing when you have guests over. Ahh. That felt good. Sorry for my rants, but paying $635 a month for this place and seeing these results. C'mon. I will say this, though. It was a great learning experience. I know what to look for now in housing and what I'm getting myself into when I sign a lease. Also, when I was persistent with them, the office staff (the part timer kids) were always friendly, and did everything they could to help me. Thanks, guys. Give them a raise. If your bosses did a better job, your job would be easier. So yeah, don't live here ever. EVER. read more

1 star is even too much for this place!!!! if you come to Tucson, and you only have the choice- of sleeping under a bridge or at this place, GO TO SLEEP UNDER A BRIDGE!! you might get less illnesses.... NEVER GO THERE!!! Before I moved to Tucson, I booked an apartment at the Campus Crossings at the 8th Street. I wanted to see actual pictures of my future apartment, but they told me that those are already in the webpage, and also the plans of the apartment. So I relied on them and I moved on with the payment of the security deposit (around 1300 $) and the first rent (850$) plus nearly 100 $ of administration fees. I was really stupid doing this. First of all, when I came to Tucson (27th of August), I could not go directly to the apartment I booked, because the office were close at the time I came, so I had to go to an hotel. On the 28th I came to my apartment at the Campus Crossings and I found some things that I didn't expect: - First, the carpet on the apartment was really dusty, I could find pieces of paper, safety pins, pieces of sweets all around.... just DISGUSTING! I told them, and they kept me saying that they will come tomorrow for 3 days... I finally decided to clean it myself.... - In the second place, they told me that internet was included in the rent, but I could actually use it in my apartment, because I needed to buy a router. The only internet I had was at the patio. I didn't have lights on the living room and the bedroom either... - On Sunday morning I moved in, and on Monday I woke up with the first bites in my legs. At the beginning I though that they might have been mosquitoes, as I was at the patio the evening before, but after days passed, I got more and more bites... I got so many bites, that I got an allergic reaction. Finally, yesterday night I started considering the possibility of the existence of BED BUGS in the matress or in the carpets, and I started to look for them until I found one... I talk to the person at the Campus Crossings office, the same that always told me that they will clean my carpet tomorrow, and she told me that they called a person specialized in extermination, and that they did not find beg bugs, but other kind of bugs that live on carpets.... my doctor was quite sure that my bites were bed bug bites... Of course the don't understand why I want to break the contract and they want me to pay the rent this month!!! This place is a FRAUD! NEVER EVER GO THERE! read more

Stay away from this property! Don't let its proximity to campus lead you to think this location is any sort of "good deal!" I lived at 8th street during some of my undergrad (2009-2011) and the manner in which they conduct some parts of their business is incredibly shady. From my experience, they would not resolve maintenance complaints until weeks after providing notice to the management office. Despite several complaints, I was left with a hole in my bathroom ceiling for almost 5 months. Also, 8th street's water heater is positioned in a place where the wind can easily blow out the pilot light. Given that 8th street didn't have maintenance workers available on weekends, it was a frequent occurrence to go without hot water from Friday nights to Monday mornings. The other reviewers are spot on when they address 8th street's cleanliness and condition as abysmal. 8th street's entrances are easily and frequently bent so that practically anyone can get inside regardless of whether they possess an entry fob. Hallways there were littered with trash. Not only are the conditions and amenities lackluster, but 8th street's staff will lie to you. I had some issues with a roommate moving out early and they really tried to screw me. I even had the property manager tell me an email said one thing when I had a copy of it in my hand proving otherwise (he didn't know I was BCC'd). After my checkout, 8th street tried to lease my unit out for the summer without telling me (so that they could continue to charge me rent). I only found out about this because I received a notice from the electric company that my account on the property had been switched. To make matters worse, 8th street didn't refund my security deposit, despite the fact that they put someone else in my unit without my knowledge. I was only able to recover the deposit and rent after a heated discussion with the property's general manager. Don't trust this property! read more

I blame myself for living here for three years. I only signed their lease out of desperation because I'm not from Tucson and unfamiliar with housings and leases. On my first year here, I came to the apartment and it was occupied by another tenant, and the two previous renters left the whole place a mess. There were marks on the walls, the toilet was disgusting and smelled like urine, the carpet was so disgusting, and a lot of trash left. They were supposed to have it cleaned before the entry of new tenants, but they said that they were not able to do it because someone was still living there. That was the most poorly made excused I've ever heard. The times that I live there, the maintenance and other employees just burst themselves there regardless if you are there or not. Employees: People should take into account that the employees are not professional, but just random students that are in need of money. They do not have working knowledge of the apartment. If you have a problem with your technology such as internet, they will just tell you to call a number. They will tell you things you want to hear. Cost: It only appears cheap, but I live in a two bedroom. One is shared and the other is private. The shared is about $370 x 2 and the private is about $500. The whole small apartment is about $1200+. You can get that price for a 3BD/2BA. The complex is strictly for profit which does not apply to renovations of the room. Air Conditioning: They do not have AC, they have a swamp cooler, which means that there is not chance your temperature will reach below 80F during the summer. We left it on for the whole month, and it never got cold. Moreover, during the summer, it kept on malfunctioning and left the apartments very hot. Security: There is no point in having those security doors because they do not close all the way through, so you do not really have to scan your key to get in because the door does not slam shut. Roommate Matching: This is a gamble if you are by yourself. The roommates I got were totally mismatched and very disgusting despite what I placed on my questionnaire. If you want a new room, all they will tell you is there is a large FEE to move. Cleanliness: Despite attempts to paint all over the walls, the complex has vandals and markings all over. Moreover, they do not participate in any recycling programs. All your trash goes in the same bin. This is upsetting because the dorms in the UA and the housings around them participate in recycling. Noises: There's a lot of noises in here. My first year here was so terrible because there were consistent parties. As long as you can pay, they will allow you to live here. That means that a bunch of party animals are living in the vicinity. It was so miserable. The only good thing here were some of the maintenance guys. They do the actual labor and not just sit in the office going through facebook and tv shows. read more

Pros- - Close to Campus Cons- - So many huge cockroaches (Never Fixed) - Staff is not helpful. (Never Fixed) - Maintenance is a joke and will not fix anything, instead they will insist it works. - A/C broken from the day we moved in. (Never Fixed) - The complex only allows you to use A/C half the year, and the heat the other half, if you are cold during the end of the summer months, thats too bad. - The gates "protecting" the complex are never working and left open all of the time. - Toilet made high pitched squeaking noise so loud that both bathroom doors had to be kept shut if anyone wanted to sleep. -Half of the outlets do not work. (Never Fixed) - The cable outlet on the wall fell inside of the wall, so we were never able to watch cable TV. (Never Fixed) - Hot water is always broken. - Under the kitchen sink is a giant hole that was "patched" by our request, but it was not touched and the work order was signed off on. (Never Fixed) - Carpet is coming up and the nails that hold the carpet will stab the bottom of your feet if you are walking barefoot.(Never Fixed) - Walls are very thin, my roommate was simply leaning on our wall and ended up falling through a previously patched area. -The front door never closed all of the way, it only stayed closed once locked.(Never Fixed) - Broken kitchen drawers (Never Fixed) -Maintenance left our master key in the door while all of the residents were gone for more than 2 hours. - Mailbox was broken from the day we moved in. (Never Fixed) - Bike area has no cameras and there are AT LEAST 5 bikes that have had all of the parts stolen. (Never Fixed) - DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone gives this place over a 1 they either work there or are talking about somewhere else. read more

This complex is denying me a refund because of an addendum they had in utilities after I moved out. They also destroyed any record of us telling them our furniture was broken. Do NOT rent from this complex. They will rip you off. There are multiple parties and the "security" officer did nothing about it. If you are looking for a place to rent, go somewhere else. We had several roaches, and told the front office many times. Our toilet was constantly broken, and they told us there was nothing they could do. DO NOT RENT HERE. read more

Worst housing option hands down! The list of complaints goes on and on. Staff us SO unprofessional, hallways are dirty, elevators hardly ever work, no air conditioning (crappy chillers), car was towed away TWICE by mistake...tow company wanted $250.00 to get the car back! Even the corporate office is unhelpful. Best advice I can give: RUN! Campus Crossing on 8th Street is the worst! Bicycle had both wheels stolen even though bike racks are inside locked gates! I wish there was n option for zero stars. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. These people are sneaky little bastards. I've had multiple problems with them already since moving in August 2015, but the latest problem is that they towed my car with no warning. I went in to get a guest parking pass for my car, and they informed me that they were out of those passes but that they could take my information so that my car wouldn't be towed. They DID NOT inform me that I needed to be back by a specific date for a physical pass or my car would be towed. The next day I'm walking home from class and my car had been towed. When I went in to talk to the manager he refused to resolve the problem and said it was my responsibility to magically know when I needed to come back and get a pass. I wish I had the money to just end my lease, but I will NOT be renewing. That is for sure. read more

Problems from day 1 of moving in, in Aug. '16 to end of year May '17. Would highly UN-recommend this place. Management is the worst. They don't care about their renters! You get treated like a number or a robot, not a human!! They charged us almost a full months rent to 're-let' the apt. That means they got our re-let fee ($722) as well as our 1/2 month rent ($425) that month as well as the new renters 1/2 month rent ($425) for that 1st month. So basically they got double rent ($722 + $425 + $425) for that 1st month of the re-let. We could see paying a fee for the paperwork etc but almost a whole months rent!? Ridiculous!! They are the worst to deal with. Everytime we had a problem they would say we'll get to it. Most of the time it took weeks if not months to fix the problem. Our problems went from the ceiling leaking into our apt (like a waterfall) to towing our car needlessly. The office screwed up the paperwork and so when the tow co came thru they took our car. We had to go down to the tow co to pick our car up. That took 3 hours of needless & unneccessary time!! There is so much more but it would take too long to write. Suffice to say, follow all the other bad reviews as well and take our advise, don't live here!! There are too many other apt complexes to choose from!! Stay Away from Campus Crossings!!!! read more

Please make sure that you read the contract very very careful; we just encounter a problem with my daughters electric bill, this apartments charge her 50 dollars, plus 15 plus the actual electric becuase the electricity wasn't in someones name; one room mate move out cancel her bill; the new contract started 8 days later well; campus crossing are making a charge of 50 dollars for NOTHING!!!!! I complain there is no way to get out; they told me it happens all the time what a way to make extra money with students ridiculous! If it happens all the time why they do not make sure to watn the students of this extra charges. read more

I like it here. Not from here and found this place online and decided to stop by for a tour. I love the close proximity to campus. The staff was very welcoming! The gentlemen that toured my mom and I was very nice; I felt right at home. They have cool events every month for us so that's always nice-- I don't have to worry about food sometimes bc they provide it with their fun events! The cost is not bad. I would recommend it. Not bad, not bad. I just might renew next year-- why not! read more

I used to live here and its great! It is super close to campus and I can just walk to class everyday. I enjoy just being able to hang out in the front office. Rock is a great guy and a hard worker and will do whatever he can to help you out. Great Customer Service. read more

After living here for a semester I know that I picked an amazing place to live. The rooms are clean and ready to be moved in. I can't even begin with how much I love the staff. The manager is always positive minded and always helps me with any problems I may have. He actually might be one of the nicest, most accommodating person I have ever met. He sincerely wants to help every resident that walks through his doors. The only people that do not like him must be angry with their own issues because he is a saint. Any issues are fixed the day after all (very few) occurrences I have had. The ladies in the office and I are always joking around and having a good time whenever we talk (which is 6/7 days of the week). Most days, I make about 4 cups of coffee in the office and they could not be better at their jobs. I have become great friends with the maintenance men as well. They are always moving around, making something new, or coming in on their own time after hours to fix any problem that may occur. The staff here are incredibly nice people and it really reflects on the residents. The first day I moved in I had introduced myself to other college residents and ever since then I have been hanging out with them every day and every weekend evening. I renewed my lease for this place a long time ago and I could not be happier. read more
