The Ridge at Meadowlake Apartments

I loved living here! I lived here for 2.5 years, but then had to move out of state. The staff is incredibly friendly and more than happy to assist. They even throw some parties throughout the year for us residents. They are super quick to fix any issues (usually within 48 hours from my ticket being submitted). I do feel safe here, as well. You can hear the train, but other than that I loved it!

Thank you for 8 great years at The Ridge! I moved here the day after college graduation and made it my home. This has been a great community to live. Thanks to the Manager and the staff for everything!

The staff is nice enough but these apartments are overpriced for what they offer. Not to mention that when you move out they charge "automatic fees" for painting and cleaning that is all designed to take your entire deposit. LIVE ELSEWHERE!!! I assure you I am not some shady tenant running down a company who gave me what I deserved. I left the apartment in better shape than I receive it and paid my lease out to buy a home. I then received the paperwork that told me of all their charges. After... further research I'm not even sure it's legal. They charge for routine maintenance and force you to leave the electricity in your name for weeks after you move out to avoid having any overhead. I would say their business practices are borderline criminal at best. Read More

The staff initially seemed to be welcoming and helpful; however, over time, their true colors were revealed. The staff was not only inconsistent with information/prices, but they were also dishonest and completely untrustworthy. If you're young and seemingly naive, they will most definitely try to take advantage of you. WORST RENTAL EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! I will never make the mistake again of renting from this company.

We moved in a couple of months ago and haven't had many problems! Some problems that we've encountered are: (1) We were given parking stickers to put on our car windows so that we could park closer to the buildings and were told that this would be monitored. We've not seen very much monitoring, but we have seen people let their friends that come over park closest to the buildings, therefore sometimes we have to park far away. (2) This is a gated community and we had to pay a lot of money to get... the clickers to open the gate. This is fine, but there is a visitor stall before the gate that has a screen with everyone who lives there's gate number. I've gotten several phone calls from the gate when I wasn't expecting anyone just because they wanted through the gate. Also, there is a sign on the gate that says that the gate closes after each car, but it doesn't, so you don't even technically have to have a gate key or use the visitor entrance. Also, some of the guests believe that they need to enter the gate before you do after you've hit the gate key. I've been cussed at and told to get out of the way because I was following the speed limit signs. It is so easy to complain about all of the bad stuff, but let me talk about the good stuff. This management company takes real pride in the appearance of their grounds and how they treat their people. Every morning when I get up to go to work, I meet a grounds keeper at the bottom of the stairs to say Good Morning while he picks up the trash around the parking lot. Also when we first moved in we had some problems with our air conditioner. It was within the day of the complaint that someone was there to fix it. Since the summer began, they have been doing lots of renovating to make sure the residents get the best service and live on the best grounds. All of the good things about the Ridge makes all of the bad things seem not so bad! I really love living here! (: Read More
