I was a resident of Legacy at Dove Mountain for 2 years. My time at Dove Mountain was highly enjoyable. Move in was smooth but be sure to ask detailed questions when touring to ensure you know all anticipated costs.
The surrounding Sonoran desert is spectacular and Legacy is in the heart of this beauty. The location is not walkable but you can find excellent shopping and dining options within a 10 minute drive. The surrounding communities are peaceful and clean and there are various trails accessible to residents in the area.
The grounds are well maintained, with consistent preventive maintaince which is a plus. As a nature lover, I enjoyed doves and quails outside my patio everyday. Sometimes was even lucky enough to see a passing javalina (keep your distance!).
My neighbors were all mature, peaceful and nature loving. We had a nice "community" vibe in our quiet corner back in building 4. Maintenance issues were responded to promptly and with extreme professionalism and respect. Noise complaints and/or parking issues, while few, were handled immediately by Sabrina, Kayla, and the rest of the amazing staff.
The only areas in which I see room for improvement would be for the community to treat the installation of "video cameras" (Ring) the same as they would satellite dishes. I had the unfortunate experience of having my neighbors install a video camera that pointed directly at my patio space. Not cool, folks, NOT cool.
Also, expect to pay various amenity fees to live here but, in general, I think the fees were invested back into community enhancements and upgrades. So, a fair trade.
Overall, my stay here was fantastic. The 4 star rating is only because of the video camera; I was very uncomfortable by this and felt the community can enforce residents guidelines for these things such as not allowing them to be pointed in bedrooms or other "leisure" areas of their neighbors.
I do recommend this hidden gem. It was a pleasure.
