This article is a decision review to help you assess whether Redpoint Tempe matches your priorities. It covers who the residence suits, who should look elsewhere, what residents say in their own words, price positioning, room-type guidance, and booking timing.
Who This Residence Suits
Redpoint Tempe suits students who value large, updated living spaces and plan to share an apartment with three, four, or five people. The units are described by some residents as “spacious and relatively updated” — a point that appears repeatedly in positive feedback. If you are comfortable with a multi-bedroom setup and want the flexibility to have your own bedroom within a shared unit, the floor plans here provide that.
The property is also suitable for residents who want a fitness centre on site and the ability to bring a pet. Parking is available, which is a practical feature if you own a car or have visitors who drive. For students who are willing to accept that management communication can be frequent (though sometimes repetitive), the overall experience may be acceptable if the unit itself meets your expectations.
Students who stay for multiple years may find the property works well — one reviewer lived here for four years and expressed sadness about leaving after graduation. That suggests that for some residents, the ups and downs are manageable, and the living space itself is a consistent draw.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
This property may not suit students who expect responsive, professional customer service. Multiple negative reviews highlight serious issues with management. One reviewer explicitly warns others not to sign a lease, citing experiences with unresponsive and dismissive staff. Another resident describes “persistent bug issues” and management communication that feels like noise rather than helpful updates.
If you are someone who requires prompt maintenance, clear communication, and a high level of attention from the management office, Redpoint Tempe may frustrate you. The contrast between the positive reviews about the units and the negative reviews about management is stark — the property appears to deliver on the physical space but not always on the service side.
Students who are sensitive to pest issues or who expect a seamless housing experience should carefully weigh the negative reports before committing. The property’s Google rating of 4.1, while decent, is pulled in opposite directions by strongly positive and strongly negative reviews, which suggests a polarising experience rather than a uniformly good one.
What Residents Actually Say
Below are verbatim quotes from verified Google reviews. They reflect the range of experiences reported.
Ashley Yancoskie (5-star, positive):
“I’ve lived at Redpoint Tempe for the past 4 years, & while there have been some ups and downs, my overall experience has been great. I am truly sad to be leaving post grad. One thing that consistently impressed me and all my guests is how spacious and relatively updated the units are. The bedrooms, closets, and living …”
This review highlights that the unit size and condition are strong points, and that long-term stays are possible even with occasional difficulties.
Chase M (1-star, negative):
“DO NOT SIGN A LEASE HERE. EVER. Redpoint Tempe is hands down the worst student housing experience I’ve ever had. The customer service is beyond poor — unresponsive, unprofessional, and dismissive unless you threaten legal action. Here’s what happened: I left over $1,000 worth of my personal belongings in the living roo …”
This review signals a major trust and service issue. The reviewer’s experience involved losing personal property and feeling ignored until legal action was mentioned.
Jake Young (1-star, negative):
“Living here has been a lesson in managing expectations. Communication from management is frequent, though much of it comes through repeated emails that recycle the same information, which quickly becomes noise rather than helpful updates. There are persistent bug issues throughout the complex that don’t always seem ful …”
This review points to a pattern of ineffective communication and unresolved pest issues. The phrase “a lesson in managing expectations” suggests that the property requires residents to lower their standards.
Collectively, the reviews indicate that while the units themselves please some residents, the management experience is a frequent flashpoint.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From‑Price
The city of Chandler (where Redpoint Tempe operates) has a from‑price of 166 USD per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This likely reflects the lowest available price across all student housing properties in the city, perhaps for a single room in a shared unit or a smaller floor plan.
Redpoint Tempe’s monthly rents start at 719 USD and go up to 999 USD. This places it well above the city’s lowest price point. However, the from‑price of 166 USD may come from properties with fewer amenities or older buildings, so it is not directly comparable. Within the context of the 48 student housing properties listed in the city, Redpoint Tempe sits in the mid‑to‑upper range. The city from‑price simply gives you a baseline: there are cheaper options available, but they may not offer the same unit size, fitness centre, parking, or pet policy.
If budget is your primary concern, you should compare Redpoint Tempe’s pricing with other properties that have similar features. The property does not seem to be positioned as a low‑cost option.
Room‑Type Guidance
Redpoint Tempe offers three unit types: 3‑bedroom, 4‑bedroom, and 5‑bedroom apartments. All units are designed for shared living — you will have your own bedroom but share common areas (kitchen, living room, bathrooms) with your housemates.
Which unit suits you depends on your preferred group size. A 3‑bedroom unit means fewer housemates, which can reduce scheduling conflicts in shared spaces. A 5‑bedroom unit comes with more roommates, potentially lower rent per person, and a larger social setting. The pricing does not break down by unit type in the provided data, so you need to confirm exact room prices with the operator.
Given the mixed reviews about management, make sure the lease agreement clearly states the unit type, the room assignment process, and the obligations of both parties before you sign.
Booking Timing
The property is available from 12 August 2026. That is a typical academic move‑in date for the fall semester. If you are planning to secure a unit for the 2026‑2027 academic year, you should start inquiring early — ideally by mid‑2026 — because popular floor plans (especially 3‑bedrooms) can fill quickly.
The data does not show a minimum lease length. Confirm this with the operator, especially if you need a shorter or longer rental period.
Because reviews indicate that management can be slow to respond, allow extra time for lease processing. Do not wait until the last week of July or early August 2026 to start the booking process, unless you are comfortable with potential delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Redpoint Tempe pet‑friendly?
Yes. The property tag includes “pet_friendly”. If you have a pet, confirm the specific pet policy (breed restrictions, weight limits, additional deposits) directly with the operator before signing.
What amenities are available on site?
The property lists a fitness centre, parking, and pet‑friendly accommodation as tags. No other amenities are mentioned in the provided data. For details such as washer/dryer in unit, pool, study rooms, or internet speed, contact the operator.
Is the Google rating of 4.1 reliable when there are very negative reviews?
The rating of 4.1 is based on 333 reviews, which is a reasonable sample size. However, the score is an average of strongly positive and strongly negative experiences. You should read a selection of both types of reviews (the three quoted here are a starting point) to judge whether the property’s trade‑offs are acceptable to you. The positive review highlights spacious, updated units. The negative reviews flag service and pest problems.
