Split experience: half the reviews praise quick maintenance and friendly leasing staff, while the other half report chronic problems-fire alarms failing repeatedly, non-working elevators for months, filthy common areas, pest infestations, and management that promises fixes but delivers nothing. Billing is confusing (surprise deposit increases, mysterious pet charges, valet trash failures), and when residents escalate complaints in writing, they say they get no response. The amenities exist but many are broken or unmaintained.

Staff friendliness stands out, particularly Susana and Kim, who consistently earn praise for their warmth and professionalism. Grounds and pool are well-maintained and clean. However, the complex struggles with maintenance responsiveness: some jobs drag for months while others resolve quickly, creating unpredictability. Security failures are a major concern: the gate frequently stays open despite being marketed as gated, leading to numerous car break-ins and thefts. Residents report unclear rent charges, and office accessibility is spotty (locked doors, unanswered calls). A division emerges between tenants who found their experience positive and those who faced maintenance neglect, safety issues, and billing confusion. The complex's appeal hinges on staff personality rather than systems. Pet owners appreciate the space and amenities, but safety and maintenance reliability concerns deter longer-term commitment. For those prioritizing community feel and personal attention, Azul works; for those needing predictable service and security, the reviews suggest caution.

The Savoy earns strong marks for its leasing staff (Najia, Sydnee, Melinda, Chris) and maintenance responsiveness, with residents consistently praising clean grounds and a peaceful atmosphere. However, recent complaints highlight inconsistent customer service on calls, pricing discrepancies during checkout, and upper management's reluctance to address errors. The gap between frontline warmth and back-office accountability shapes the mixed experience.
