The Legacy Las Vegas, las-vegas-nv

Do NOT live here. It is the absolute last resort you should take when choosing an apartment to stay near UNLV. 1. Roach infested. I dealt with multiple roaches a day at my first apartment at the Legacy, switched units, and they came again. Just not as often. I made sure to consistently clean the apartment, not leave food out, moisture, etc, put in various maintenance requests, they do not take it seriously. 2. The apartments are not taken care of, and dirty. Carpet was never washed when moving in, dust, broken lights, peeling paint, literal holes in the shower. Floors are extremely loud and creaky. The area is loud, ghetto, and unsafe. 3. The gate is almost always broken. I pay more for the gate just for it to never work. The area has homeless people. 4. Maintenance is awful. A year ago my AC broke and maintenance gaslight me multiple times that it “wasn’t” broken or I was “causing it to break.” I had to start documenting every time the AC broke when staff would come in to fix it then it would immediately break after. They would take the AC unit out of my room when they would “fix” the AC in the apartment, even after I would beg them not to. Because I knew the AC was just going to break again. I started getting migraines and feeling nauseous when my apartment would reach over 129°, which is a health hazard, and it was over 105° outside. This went on for weeks. Maintenance blamed me when I kept turning down the AC when the apartment would reach over 120° because I couldn’t handle the heat, and even threatened to charge me for pieces until I had to document everytime the AC would break, cry to them, and show I was not moving the fan off auto. This should have never happened. They also come in unannounced, one time barged into my room with dirty shoes on the carpet without knocking while I was sleeping. One of the blonde maintenance members was extremely rude and gave lots of attitude.

In an invisible way you have great power, where within one hour of sending the lease agreement and completing the signing, you just send a message that I was too late to sign the agreement and increase the rent. The quote of first come first serve is just a blindfold of you. This is not the first time and not only with me but with so many this has happened. Even being associated with UNLV, you are fully an inconsiderate leasing property who are inconsiderate of students’ financial condition.

I am the current resident in Legacy. It is a nice apartment, quiet and close to UNLV campus. Not too many equipment but comfortable. If you are looking for a cheap and high quality apartment, here is a good choice. If you are looking for a resort style apartment, maybe not your first choice.

The gate is always open, which creates a safety and security concern. It defeats the purpose of living in a gated community. Management should fix this issue.

I lived at this complex for two years. I want to share my experience as accurately as possible for anyone considering living here. To start with the good, the rent is among the lowest you will find in the area, and the location is convenient since it is only about a 10–15 minute walk to campus. The appliances in my unit, including the stove, refrigerator, and freezer, worked reliably throughout my stay. I also never experienced problems with water temperature or pressure. The mail lockers are secure and well-managed, and the office occasionally hosts small events with free treats for residents. Unfortunately, the negatives far outweighed the positives. The apartment was in poor condition when I moved in. There were scratches on the walls and doors, holes in the baseboards, peeling window screens, and broken shelving in both the bathroom and closet. Some areas were left dirty, including clogged drains and debris inside cabinets. Several light bulbs were out, and the apartment itself has very limited built-in lighting since there are no ceiling lights in the bedrooms or living room. Pest problems became a major concern. I reported roaches to management multiple times, and it took weeks of follow-up before pest control finally treated my unit. Even after fumigation, I continued to find roaches in the kitchen and bathrooms. This process dragged on for nearly two months and required me to move out temporarily while they fumigated. Maintenance response times were inconsistent and often slow. Some requests took days, while others dragged on for weeks. A plumbing backup once caused water to overflow from my shower drain into the hallway carpet. When I reported this, maintenance insisted it was impossible and accused me of causing it by overflowing a different bathroom, without resolving the issue. The air conditioning also failed during the summer, leaving the apartment over 100 degrees for three nights before it was fixed. During that time, management did not provide any support, and I had to stay in a hotel at my own expense. Even after repairs, maintenance told me the AC system should not be adjusted, something I had never been informed of before. Other smaller issues, such as a filter vent that will not stay closed, were never properly fixed. Security and cleanliness around the property were also ongoing issues. Although residents pay more to live in a gated community, the gates were frequently left open for long stretches due to repairs or trash collection, which made the “gated” aspect feel misleading. Trash areas often overflowed, and on several occasions large discarded items such as old refrigerators sat outside for weeks, creating unsanitary conditions. I also personally saw non-residents wandering through the property at night, which added to the feeling of insecurity. The laundry facilities were another constant frustration. Machines often broke down and stayed out of service for weeks or months at a time. No signs were ever posted to warn residents, which meant I lost money more than once when machines accepted payment but did not run. The internet service was similarly unreliable. It went out multiple times during my stay and, when it was working, the signal was too weak to reliably reach the bedrooms. My biggest frustration, however, was the management and communication from the office staff. I often received conflicting or inaccurate information about maintenance requests, and on one occasion maintenance entered my apartment without any request or notice. Whenever I raised concerns in person, I was usually met with dismissive or unhelpful attitudes rather than solutions. In the end, although the rent is affordable and the location is convenient, the combination of poor maintenance, unresolved pest problems, unreliable amenities, and unhelpful management made my two years here extremely stressful. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this complex to others.
