Based on 41 price checks, Jun 2025 – Nov 2026. Each complex’s overall price trend is removed first, so this shows the seasonal pattern rather than the market moving up or down. That’s about one year of seasons, so treat it as an early read. Months marked “—” for specials had no specials data in the archived pages.

Good time to negotiate?

Message you can send

Hi, I'm interested in renting at Alexan Tempe and could move in soon. I see your starting price is $1,599 with up to 8 weeks free + $1,000 off. Lakeside Drive Apartments is working out to about $1,259 a month with its current special. Is there anything you can do to get closer to that, like a bigger special or waiving the application and admin fees? Could you also send me prices for 12, 13 and 15-month leases? Thank you!

How to use it

  • Ask for prices on several lease lengths and move-in dates.
  • If the rent won’t move, ask for waived fees or a bigger special.
  • Get any deal in writing before you sign.

A rough guide, not a quote: it assumes a typical all-electric apartment with central AC, at roughly 12¢ per kWh, before the utility’s fixed monthly service charge. Your bill depends on your plan (time-of-use plans can cost more or less), the thermostat, the unit’s age and sun exposure. Many complexes also bill water, sewer and trash separately.

Code-enforcement and eviction records aren’t available for Tempe yet. We currently cover Phoenix and Mesa, and add cities as their records become available.

Records are matched to the complex’s county parcel (14062302), so complaints filed under any of its addresses count. A complaint isn’t a confirmed violation; check its status. Eviction filings come from Maricopa County Justice Courts data published by the City of Phoenix, and larger complexes naturally have more. Tenant names are never collected. Property facts from the Maricopa County Assessor.

Prices are what Mark-Taylor advertised on its website, checked daily since Jun 22, 2025. Contact the property to confirm current pricing. Before you sign, read up on your rights as an Arizona renter.
