This summer, we’ve worked hard to come up with some fun resident activities that would help our residents beat the heat. One of the crazy ideas we came up with was a Watermelon Eating Contest (yum!). Check out some of the pics from the Watermelon Eating Contest that we hosted at Trillium Deer Valley (located at 7th Street & the 101 in North Phoenix). The first place winner won a $10 Starbucks Gift Card, second place winner won an inflatable tube (perfect to use in the pool at the next Dive In Movie!), and third place won, you guessed it, a WATERMELON.
A few weeks ago, the Phoenix Business Journal real estate reporter, Jan Buchholz wrote a story about Trillium’s newest community: Sotelo, located in Tempe just minutes from ASU Campus, downtown Scottsdale, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and many major employment offices.
A recent article from National Real Estate Investor magazine, reported that social media is slow to catch on to apartment residents.
“…more than nine in 10 conventional apartment residents (persons who don’t reside in student housing) haven’t visited any apartment community’s social networking website this year. Not Facebook, not Twitter, and not any other social websites. That’s the conclusion of a national survey released by Houston-based J Turner Research (JTR), a multifamily market research firm.”
We find that very interesting because the number of Trillium residents who become Facebook fans of their community is growing every day; plus a number of our residents check out our Trillium YouTube channel on a regular basis as well (especially when we had the Free Rent for a Year contest going on). Twitter does seem to be the slowest moving medium for our residents to show interest in, as most of our followers are other apartment communities or marketing companies.
Obviously, that means our Trillium Phoenix apartment residents are far from conventional!
Now your pup has a new place to frolic and play if you live at Trillium Pinnacle Peak, one of Trillium’s Phoenix apartment communities located at the I-17 & Pinnacle Peak Road.
Just a few weeks ago, our signature Pet Playland opened at the luxury apartment community. Featuring huge open spaces and a doggie obstacle course, your pup is bound the love live at Trillium just as much as you do!
Come check it out, just be sure to clean up after your furry friend
You’ve probably driven right by Sotelo, located at Curry and Scottsdale Road in Tempe, numerous times. You’ve probably looked at the modern mid-rise buildings and wondered, “I wonder when that’s going to open.”
Well, that time is finally here! Sotelo is opening for leasing starting Monday, June 28. Sotelo features 56 never-lived in apartment homes with custom home features unlike anything else on the market. When Sotelo was built in 2007/2008, it was actually build as custom condos. When the market turned around, the units sat finished and vacant, and are now opening back up as apartments.
Sotelo is close to Mill Avenue’s entertainment district, ASU, lightrail, downtown Phoenix and downtown Scottsdale.
Grand Opening Special: 1 month free on ALL floorplans! Plus, the first 10 lucky renters will get an extra $500 off their first month’s rent. Come and be one of the first to tour this beautiful property!

The heat is on in Arizona and so are the air conditioners! In order to allow you to stay as cool as possible in the Arizona “Dry Heat,” here are a few tips to keep you cool and reduce your cooling costs while living in your Trillium Phoenix apartment, or anywhere for that matter!
Tip #1 – Replace your air conditioner filter and keep it clean, especially during this heavy usage time. This helps the system run more efficient and keeps your home less dusty. We recommend that during the summer months you replace A/C filters every 30 days. Simply call the office and we’ll stop by and change it for you, complimentary!
Tip # 2 – Did you know that it takes more energy to cool your home down than to keep it at a consistent, comfortable temperature? Therefore, refrain from turning your system off when you go to work or leave for the day.
Tip #3 – Keeping your blinds closed will make a dramatic impact in overall cost savings, especially on windows that have a southern or western exposure.
Tip #4 – Be diligent about keeping all unneeded lights turned off. The heat from the bulbs adds to the increased temperature in your home.
If you encounter a problem with your A/C unit – please turn it off and call the office for immediate service assistance.
A few items to watch for are:
System not cooling
System producing only hot air
Water dripping from the air return or secondary drain

It’s going to be a HOT summer here in Phoenix, Arizona, and there is no better way to spend a scorching summer evening then lounging in the pool (believe me, we know!). So, we’ve started Dive In Movies at Trillium this June (and all summer long). Last night marked the first event atTrillium Deer Valley, our North Phoenix apartment community located at 7th street & the 101.
The pool was packed when more than 60 residents (and lots of little ones) showed up to relax at the pool to watch the new version of Alice in Wonderland, which was just released on DVD this past week. Trillium provided free hots dogs, soda, chips and candy to all movie-goers.
Dive In Movies will be featured once a month at Trillium Cave Creek, Trillium Deer Valley, Trillium Papago and Trillium Pinnacle Peak throughout the summer. Be sure to check out the monthly event calendars so you don’t miss the date and time of the movie at your Phoenix apartment community!
