Apartment hunting is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming if you’re unsure what to look for during a tour. The key is knowing the right questions to ask and what details to pay attention to beyond just square footage or finishes. At Del Sol Apartments in Scottsdale, we encourage prospective residents to explore every corner of the community and see firsthand how comfort, convenience, and community come together. Whether you’re moving to Scottsdale for work, lifestyle, or a change of scenery, here’s how to make the most of your apartment tour experience.
Consider Location and Lifestyle
Before you step inside an apartment, take a moment to explore the area around it. The location is just as important as the apartment itself.
At Del Sol, residents enjoy a peaceful neighborhood in the Shea/Scottsdale corridor, just minutes from major routes like the 101 freeway. This prime location provides:
- Easy commuting access to the East and West Valley employment hubs.
- Quick trips to entertainment destinations like Topgolf, Medieval Times, and the Diamondbacks/Rockies Spring Training facility.
- Convenient proximity to shopping, restaurants, and nightlife in both Old Town and North Scottsdale.
When you tour, ask yourself: Does this neighborhood fit my lifestyle? For many Del Sol residents, the answer is yes—thanks to its calm atmosphere combined with nearby entertainment and outdoor recreation options.
Is The Floor Plan The Right Fit For You?
Every renter has different priorities when it comes to layout. Del Sol offers spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles—from individuals seeking simplicity to families wanting room to spread out.
During your tour, visualize how you’ll use the space day to day:
- Is there room for a home office? Many residents appreciate that Del Sol’s open-concept living areas can easily accommodate a desk or workspace.
- Are the bedrooms well-separated? If you’re sharing an apartment, privacy between rooms makes a big difference.
- Do you prefer a ground floor or top-floor view? Ground floors are convenient for pets, while upper levels may offer quieter surroundings.
Don’t hesitate to ask to see multiple floor plans so you can compare options before choosing the one that best suits your needs.
Ask About Apartment Features and Upgrades
A beautifully maintained apartment makes daily life easier and more enjoyable. At Del Sol, you’ll find renovated interiors with modern finishes, bright lighting, and functional layouts designed for comfort.
When touring, ask questions like:
- Are the appliances energy-efficient?
- What kind of flooring and finishes are in the renovated units?
- Is there additional storage space or large closets?
- What utilities or services are included in rent?
You’ll also want to step outside to check patios and balconies—these private outdoor spaces are perfect for Scottsdale’s sunny weather and add an extra touch of relaxation to your home.
Explore the Community Amenities
Your apartment tour should extend beyond your front door. The amenities at Del Sol are what truly elevate the living experience.

- Cabana Room: A shared community space ideal for residents to gather or relax.
These amenities demonstrate Del Sol’s commitment to convenience, comfort, and community—a combination that’s hard to find elsewhere in Scottsdale.
Pay Attention to Maintenance and Management
An apartment community is only as good as its management team. During your visit, take note of how responsive and professional the leasing staff is. Are they helpful in answering questions? Do they offer to explain lease terms or provide maintenance turnaround times?
At Del Sol, our on-site management team takes pride in maintaining a clean, peaceful environment and offering fast, reliable service when residents need it most.
Questions to ask:
- How are maintenance requests handled?
- Is there an after-hours emergency line?
- How often are common areas cleaned or updated?
Getting clarity on these details ensures you’ll have peace of mind once you move in.
Ask About Lease Terms and Renewal Options
Before leaving your tour, make sure you understand the leasing options available. Del Sol offers 6–15 month leases, allowing flexibility for short-term and long-term renters alike.
Ask your leasing agent to explain:
- Security deposit requirements
- Renewal policies
- Move-in specials or upgrade options
- Utility and parking details
Understanding the fine print helps you plan confidently—and ensures there are no surprises later.
Discover the Community & Neighborhood
A great apartment community has a welcoming atmosphere. Take note of how residents interact, how clean the property feels, and how quiet the area is. Del Sol’s smaller size—just 168 units—creates a more intimate, personal environment that residents appreciate.
You’ll notice that Del Sol feels more like a neighborhood than a large complex, with neighbors who value both privacy and connection.
Take Photos and Notes While Touring
It’s easy to forget small details when touring multiple communities. Bring your phone or a notepad to jot down impressions of the floor plans, amenities, and management interactions. Comparing your notes afterward will make your decision much easier.
