Legacy LV, las-vegas-nv

Alright, I'm going to try and make this review as comprehensive and helpful as possible for anyone considering moving here. I've lived here for the last year and 2 months, so I'd say I've been here long enough to have developed a solid opinion on this place. For context, I live on the ungated side in an upstairs 3 bed, 2 bath unit. I would also like to point out some key facts about this place that I think everyone should know: 1) These apartments were first built in the year 1963, so they are very old by Vegas standards and have consequently undergone many management changes, renovations, etc. 2) Within the last year or so, these apartments underwent new management and also were absorbed in ownership by UNLV, meaning the customer service has received a noticeable uptick. Keep that in mind when looking at older reviews of this complex. The cons: 1) Roaches. While I didn't encounter any for the first year or so, once the summer hit, it was mayhem. We encountered roaches on a daily basis for a while. Management is doing what they can to combat it (scheduling mandatory pest control treatments), but it's clearly an uphill battle during the hot months. 2) Overall unit condition. The age of this complex really shows here. The paint, drywall, floors, smell, bathrooms, and kitchen all are in OK condition at best. My roommate's room had a really bad cigarette odor that we had to have a CO2 treatment for to fix. 3) Weird misc quirks. There are 2 things here--the lack of a dishwasher and the lack of overhead lighting in the bedrooms and living room. Light switches are connected to upside-down wall outlets. Bring lamps when you move in. 4) The laundry rooms. While they get the job done, the condition of the rooms themselves can be sketchy. I personally do my laundry elsewhere. 5) Safety. While UPD is constantly patrolling and there is a new security truck, it's still East Vegas so you'll see homeless people wandering around the area and some sketchy folks overall. I'd recommend always keeping your doors locked and leaving your blinds closed. Pros: 1) Maintenance is very responsive and caring. They're quick to address issues as they come. 2) The new management has been proactively fixing some QoL things like the roofs (to prevent leaks), new Wifi routers that work great, safety enhancements, etc. 3) Price. The cost here is hard to beat and is the reason I'm still here. Every cost is fixed except for power. Even the water bill is fixed at $15/month (as of late 2026). 4) Location. You're in walking distance to campus, and 10-15 minutes from downtown and the Strip. My apartment has become home base for group outings, lol. 5) Parking. Sick of braving the garages? You can now park right outside your apartment for free. One of the best perks here. Overall, your experience here is what you make of it. Have fun, enjoy college, and remember you get what you pay for. MAKE SURE YOU FIND GOOD ROOMMATES! That's the true make-or-break. Get on RoomSync early and get to know the people you match with. You're going to be LIVING with them for at least a year!! I hope this review was able to provide some good insights for anyone looking to move here. It's a solid first apartment for students and gets the job done, definitely better than the dorms. With the new management, I have high hopes that it'll continue to get better as it has been over the last year. Solid 3/5 for me.

I wouldn’t recommend living here at all. I could go on and on about why, like the fact that when I moved in August 18th, the apartment has holes and dents in the walls, floor boards broken/coming up, mold or mildew that grows on the bathroom ceiling that I’m pretty sure they just painted over, and unclean wash rooms. The last straw that led to writing this was the fact that they’re currently doing pest control treatments around the apartments. They sent out a paper stating which building would be done on what days, said that we would have to clean and remove EVERYTHING (including all food in cabinets and pantries and our pots and pans) and leave the apartment for 2-4 hrs. Ours was scheduled Friday, the 25th, and yet they never came. There was no notice or anything to let us know. I had to call to confirm whether they’d be coming or not around 6pm, which is when the leasing office closed, just to be told that it’ll probably be rescheduled, and as far as the dates go on the paper they sent, they won’t be coming on the weekends. So me and my roommates are expected to WAIT 2 days with all of our pans and food bunched and packed up in our rooms while we wait for whenever they decide to come and do the treatment that was already supposed to be done. It’s either that or put EVERYTHING BACK to just have to remove it again. And then not even considering the fact that we’re college students with actual lives to live and allowing people to sit around without a notice is insane. This place is extremely unprofessional. If you want to lose your mind living in an apartment, apply here and good luck

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.

Worst Experience at Legacy - I'm writing this while TRAPPED I am writing this from my bedroom where I am currently stuck. The door won't open and I am locked inside at Legacy. I called for help and instead of sending maintenance or security, the staff just tells me to call the police. I am still trapped in here as I write this. Absolutely unsafe and unprofessional.
