The Arbordale

Their marketing department called multiple times a day along with emails & texting. I was communicating with them but they continued excessively contacting me. I eventually agreed to take a tour though I had already mostly decided on where I was going to live. I gave them an honest look. The pricing the marketing department gave did not match what the salesman gave. He did not have any availability in the first four tiers of pricing which is not what marketing said. His first story was how they were formally a co-op and have changed into rentals. That is not a good sales pitch. So people bought & had "rent" and got a partial refund and now just get to rent. Cringy. The Arbordale has some good qualities. It needs updating. It is pricey. Compared to other places on the market, I don't find it competitive. Plus the salesman, Mike, who I have tried very hard to be polite & patient with is overly aggressive. I have told him several times I have already signed a lease somewhere else yet he continues to contact me. I don't understand the over aggressive tactics of The Arbordale. It's not effective or convincing. It brings a desperate feeling. I had left a very polite review with the referring company but I think it's past time for my honest experience. I tried to contact The Arbordale directly to discuss this with them but they did not want to do that. They just want to make sales. They don't want to know what they are doing wrong. I would NEVER live there let alone but the care of a loved one there. I will say their craft room is very impressive. The wooded area is very nice and is not easy to find with many of the newer places. The apartments seemed nice. Though for being mid tier, they should be. The washer/dryer were old and would never hold a comforter. They were the all in one unit type. The meals are extra. The community fee is $2750 and many activities have a fee on top of that. The halls are all beige no matter what floor you are on. It's a very confusin

The Arbordale is the perfect fit for me with it’s beautiful and spacious apartments and amazing views. The staff is extraordinary with everyone being treated with so much kindness and respect. We may even have a treat or donut delivered to our door just because! We have an outstanding chef who is always eager to create all our favorites. The activities provided are so varied and fun with great response by the residents. We are all so diverse and have chosen this wonderful community to call home and have made friendships that will last a long time. I can’t imagine myself living anywhere else. Thank you Arbordale.

I'd like to share my feelings about The Arbordale. Living in Arizona and feeling I should return to Iowa, I began my search. "Where do I belong and where should I live?" After seeing pictures on the computer and talking with the staff, I decided without even a personal visit that this was the place to call my new home. The Arbordale is a relaxing, independent community with many amenities, fun social activities and programs, wonderful new friends, and delicious food. I want to express my thanks to the special "staff" - they are the greatest! I am really happy I chose The Arbordale....a special place for me. Come see us - you will like it!
