The District On Apache is a student-oriented apartment complex located at Tempe, AZ 85282, USA (the listing city is Chandler). It offers units from August 15, 2026, with monthly rents between 899 and 1,850 USD (indicative — confirm with the operator). The property has 663 Google reviews with an average score of 4 out of 5. Below we break down what this residence offers, who will find it a good fit, and who may want to consider other options.
Who it suits:
- Residents who prioritise high-speed internet and a central location. The property’s internal ratings show internet at 4.8 and location at 4.8, both strong. One reviewer, Lucia Rychetsky, gave 5 stars and wrote: “This apartment has been a huge part of my college experience and I couldn’t ask for a better one! Not only is it beautiful outside and has fun places to hang out, but it also has the cutest study rooms and coffee place. I’d definitely recommend living here and it’s the perfect distance from campus!” The campus reference suggests proximity to Arizona State University (the address is in Tempe).
- People who enjoy social amenities: the social score is 4.6, and the property lists a gym, study area, and study lounges.
- Those looking for larger shared units: 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom options allow splitting rent with flatmates.
Who it does not suit:
- Individuals who expect consistent maintenance and responsive management. Several negative reviews report unresolved issues. Jess Jacobs (1 star) stated: “I am writing this review because, unfortunately, it seems to be the only way to get management’s attention when issues are not being addressed. Currently, the side entrance fob access has been broken for weeks, creating an ongoing inconvenience for residents. The women’s sauna light hasn’t worked for the entire three y” (the review cuts off). Cammie S (1 star) wrote: “This place is going down the drain. You pay for luxury apartments but it’s barely worth the price anymore. There’s always something wrong with the pool/hot tub. The hot tub was drained for most of the summer to the point where I stopped even trying to go. I live in a corner of the building right next to a gate that is ” (also truncated).
- People who value high cleanliness standards or strong value for money: the property’s internal ratings for cleaning (3.5) and value for money (3.5) are below the other categories.
- Those seeking guaranteed quiet or private outdoor space: reviews suggest that pool/hot tub issues are recurring and some gates/access points may cause noise or inconvenience.
Overall, The District On Apache seems to attract residents who enjoy the social atmosphere and study-friendly spaces, but maintenance and management responsiveness appear inconsistent.
Price positioning vs the city’s from-price
The city of Chandler (and the broader Tempe area) has 48 student housing properties listed on the platform. The city’s from-price is 166 USD (indicative — confirm with operator). Note: this figure likely reflects a weekly or shorter-term rate, as monthly rents in the area typically start well above 166 USD. The District On Apache’s minimum monthly rent of 899 USD places it above the very lowest-priced options in the city. The maximum monthly rent of 1,850 USD makes it one of the higher-priced options, particularly for larger units.
If you are on a strict budget, you may find cheaper shared apartments nearby. However, given the property’s amenities and location, the price may be justified for those who value the study lounges, gym, and proximity to campus. Always compare the final lease terms and utility inclusion details before deciding.
Room-type guidance
The District On Apache offers unit types: 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, and 4 bedroom. No breakdown of square footage or floor plans is available in the current data. Here is how each type generally works for student housing:
- 1-bedroom: Suits a single occupant who wants privacy. Likely the most expensive per person but offers the most personal space. Indicative price near the upper end of the range (around 1,500–1,850 USD monthly — confirm).
- 2-bedroom: Good for one flatmate. Rent splits roughly in half. Often the sweet spot between privacy and cost.
- 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom: Best for groups of friends or those comfortable with multiple flatmates. Per-person cost will be lower, potentially under 600–700 USD each if the total rent is near the minimum. However, shared common areas may raise cleanliness and noise concerns.
The property’s internal ratings for amenities (4.7) and internet (4.8) are excellent, so the common facilities are likely well-equipped. The cleaning rating of 3.5 suggests that individual unit cleanliness may vary depending on flatmate habits and management responsiveness.
Booking timing
The property becomes available from August 15, 2026. For students starting the fall 2026 semester, this timing aligns with typical move-in dates. Given that the city has 48 student housing options, availability may shift quickly during peak leasing months (February through May for fall starts). It is advisable to start inquiries early, at least six to eight months before move-in, to secure your preferred unit type and price tier.
No minimum lease period is provided in the data, so confirm with the operator whether semester-long or annual leases are required. The presence of negative reviews about maintenance suggests you should read the lease carefully regarding repair request procedures and any fees for early termination.
FAQ
How reliable is the internet at The District On Apache?
Based on internal ratings, internet receives a score of 4.8 out of 5, the highest category. One positive reviewer noted “the cutest study rooms,” suggesting connectivity is strong enough for academic work. However, no independent speed tests or service provider details are available. Expect reliable coverage for typical student use (streaming, video calls, online research).
Is the property safe and secure?
The property has a side entrance fob system, but one reviewer reported that it was broken for weeks. The overall security rating is not available. The location in Tempe near Arizona State University is generally considered safe, but individual safety depends on building access controls and lighting. The gym and study lounges appear to be monitored or at least well-used. We recommend visiting in person or checking local crime maps if security is a priority.
Can I find a unit for under 1,000 USD per month here?
The minimum listed monthly rent is 899 USD. This likely applies to a shared room in a 4-bedroom unit or a smaller 1-bedroom during off-peak pricing. Given the city’s from-price of 166 USD (which may be weekly), 899 USD per month is above the absolute cheapest options but still within reach for a budget-conscious student splitting with flatmates. Confirm with the operator whether utilities are included, as that can affect the true cost.
