I don't rent there yet.(I surely hope I do) The leasing office was so patient with me. I Struggle because I have M.S (Multiple Schrosis) as well as a T.B.I (traumatic brain injury) Wendy was the one that helped me. She was very patient and so helpful with filling out my application. Very sweet and patient thumbs

Their Albuquerque apartments are low quality. They don't maintain the pools and rarely follow guidelines. I'd tread cautiously if I were you. Just in case you didn't notice, most of the 5 star reviews are fake. Their property amenities are minimal and their "courtesy patrol" is non existent. They swap through managers a lot. Wonder why?

I love EMG! They are by far the best management company in town. They are so clean and the staff is wonderful, especially Shelly. She is super fabulous manager. She is extremely knowledgeable and customer service is her specialty. I've seen a lot of changes in the company over the past 6 months. all for the better!
