Saratoga was a horrible place to live. The rent is cheap and you really get what you pay for.  I was in constant fear that my apartment was going to get broken into. I would sometimes have to take my dog out at night and the complex is scary at night. Saratoga has a night security guard but its one dorky guy on a bicycle, this did not at all make me feel safer.  Several of my neighbors had a few incidents with bed bugs and roaches. The staff wasn't the best and the head office lady was really harsh on people she disliked. If your looking to rent in the Mesa/Tempe area I recommend you avoid Saratoga apartments. Spend the extra money to get a safer, cleaner, nicer apartment with a staff that is more professional.
