My air conditioning didn't work, the apartment had cockroaches and insect problems, I installed security cameras that were frequently tampered with, and my neighbors had many people coming and going at all hours, to name a few of the issues. The final straw was when I returned from vacation and my door had been kicked in and apartment broken into. I immediately moved out because I no longer believed I was safe and Talavera charged me rent for an additional 30 days and a termination fee equal to 2 months rent for breaking my lease a few months early. They made no accommodations for my situation, took no responsibility and just told me that crime is not their problem. I would not recommend this apartment complex under any circumstances.

Mary Ann keeps everything you need in the casitas for short or long term stay. Washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, essential cleaning supplies and toiletries... I even have a Firestick on my television so I can watch my favorite Netflix shows! There is also ample parking to go around for everyone. Gary will come by occasionally to clean up the porch area, and he checks up on us to see if we need anything. Just a great overall experience, which means a lot to me! I highly recommend this place!

They ranged in price. Although we were attracted to the second unit and wanted to stop with that one, because of his insistence we were able to chose the third one which had the best price and it was located over a heated pool with a double viewing fireplace, beautiful finishing colors and the best parking distance, which was the shortest. Second came the leasing paper work. This gentleman absolutely made our paperwork and submittals seem effortless. He went beyond normal efforts and made it all go smoothly with ease. He secured our desired choice and assisted us completely. The attention to detail and his commitment to assist was amazing and we are greatly thankful. We look forward to the move-in day and beyond.

Didn't know what to expect as we had never seen one of these units before and was pleasantly surprised. Loved the studio's open space and the outdoor balcony facing the mountains.

Located mid town in Santa Fe it's a great, convenient location and is mixed use for both residential and commercial. If you're looking to rent a loft, for work or to live in, check out building #7 as it's tucked away in the back with plenty of parking and seems very quiet.

They want perfectly 60 days (though maintenance does not perform any activities) before moving out. Sounds like a scam its because it is!! They charged me for cleaning specfic parts. Little do they know, I took a video. Place is a scam. Thin walls, poorly insulated where your bill is waaaayyyy higher, if you have autopay, they will charge as much as they can. My favorite part of it all are the thefts. There were so many thefts; one was performed directly in front of me. They refused to do anything (such as adding cameras). There are so many options. The cost is also terrible. A single bedroom is 1800 while a two bedroom is 1500? How does this make any sense.

The ants started in my living room, migrated to my daughter's room, then back to the living room into the kitchen, they were everywhere! on the second floor?! how?! Very unprofessional behavior from Marlene Armijo. Multiple times not only did Marlene try and gaslight me, she also bluntly lied. She would constantly tell my partner and I "She's never seen an ant issue like this is her whole 10+ years. She's never had an ant issue in this building. It's from my trash can (in my dining room with a regular amount of trash in it.) it was always redirected to us and never them. I have evidence from around the property that this has clearly been an issue, and maybe i'm the only one that cannot deal with it and just live my normal life. as well as my partner felt this way. I talked to previous tenants about their issues and experience and 2 other people stated they also had a severe ant issue and terrible management issues. Both me and my partner had to seek therapy over the ants and the way we were treated. As well as illegally entered our apartment multiple times (highly suggest getting a camera for your front door as that's how we figured this out and turned over to our lawyer.) did not try and compensate us for any of our hassles and heartaches. Maintenance at one point came in and destroyed a couple pieces of my decoration, was never replaced or compensated. Pest control would let himself in without any prior notice or and i never out in a 7 day request. Would always spray and not let me see or know what he was spraying in my apartment, mind you I have an infant. went into my room even after being asked not to go in there (the only reason I know is because of the camera we had to set up.) Marlene also tried to lie and say pest control did come by and I wasn't home after I had scheduled for that day. Pest control admitted to not even being scheduled for that day and that Marlene was trying to flip the script. Only owned up to the truth once I mentioned my camera. Drama. Drama. Drama. and a whole bunch of unprofessionalism. Makes me never want to rent again, because of the poor taste they gave off. I know LANL employees look at these often because of price comparisons to Los Alamos's market and where it's located. be very careful, in general doesn't matter who! Originally they got a deposit of $500+ then another $620 at move out because of the prorated amount they said would be put toward credit. Now sending a bill for $180+ dollars , when realistically they owe us money. Everything has been turned over to our lawyer, and now the state,and BBB. From 20 yrs old - 100yrs old watch your back with this management and especially Marlene ( New Mexico Court is always your friend as you can see she's been in a case previously. a quick lookup on facebook mention of "Rancho Carerra" will bring up anything your looking for. I have Plenty of photos of other peoples reviews, and my own experience. If you do choose to go through these apartments make sure to know your lease.
