QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ("Q&As" about how this apartment compares to other nearby 1 bedrooms)
QUESTION #1: What's the exact location and what's nearby?
ANSWER #1: 16 W. Encanto Blvd (Tapestry on Central). This is a quiet side street one block from Central Ave / 1-minute walk to Light Rail Station. Jog or walk in the Willo Historic District (200 feet away), and walk to Creighton Medical School, Dignity-St Joe's Hospital, Heard Museum, Phoenix Theatre, Phoenix Art Museum, & more. Drive 5 minutes to Safeway, Sprouts or Frys, to Banner-UA Hospital and 5 minutes to downtown /I-10 / Rte 51. 10-minute drive to airport. Central location to most anywhere.
QUESTION #2: Does this 1BR really have 845 square feet and a fireplace?
ANSWER #2: At 845 SF, this is one of the largest 1BR rentals in central/midtown Phoenix (and it has 9-foot-high ceilings) -- plus a balcony with good views and space for a small table & chairs. And yes, there's a gas fireplace (for cool winter nights).
QUESTION #3: What's the rent?
ANSWER #3: At $1,595 per month, the rent is somewhat under-priced because we're looking for a good tenant, not maximum rent. No hidden monthly fees for amenities, trash, parking, etc -- all are included.
QUESTION #4: What's the application process?
ANSWER #4: We're the condo owners, not a large national real estate chain -- so, no complicated application process. We'd like a tenant who is respectful of the property and neighbors in adjoining units. Feel free to tell us something about yourself (where you live now or why you are looking to move, how long you've been in Phoenix, or anything else you'd like to share).
QUESTION #5: SO WHAT'S THE COMPARISON WITH OTHER 1 BR APARTMENTS?
ANSWER #6: If you check every other nearby rental situation for 1 BR apartment, you will see how ours compares:
* 845 square ft (most others 550-750 SF)
* Mainly 9-ft ceilings (many others 8-ft ceilings)
* Gas fireplace (we haven't seen fireplaces elsewhere)
* 3 ceiling fans (3) (to reduce your utility bill)
* Separate bath tub & shower in bathroom (not combined tub/shower)
* Balcony can fit table & chairs, etc (not just a tiny balcony)
* 5th floor is up high, quiet and not on street (other 1BRs are on 1st, 2nd or 3rd floor and often right on a noisy street)
* Courtyard view and nearest building is 150 ft away (no parking lot or other building right in your face)
* Bedroom has lots of natural light & balcony access (not a closed-in feeling)
* Assigned (free) underground, gated garage parking (not an outside lot, no need to fight for a space, no extra fee)
* Walk 1-MINUTE to Encanto Light Rail (closer than most other buildings)
* Condo building has 95 units, most owner-occupied (not a huge apartment building with frequent tenant changes)
PLEASE REPLY TODAY BY EMAIL OR CALL (and leave a message). We've been traveling so it may take 24-48 for us to respond.
This unit is in top shape and if you like to party, or you are not respectful of the property and neighbors, this is not for you.
