My maintence requests have been ignored since I moved in, We have constant bugs because my requests to fix the rotted out floorboards have been ignored, it took a month for us to have our door lock fixed at the beginning of the year, our AC was out for weeks during the fall semester. The neighbors are so incredibly loud, constantly screaming, honking, and blasting music that makes my windows rattle at 3AM. My apartment was dirty when I moved in, with long black hairs in my shower and on the... floors. The room was infested with spiders, and I found chocolate kisses between the mattress and the wall, so I know It wasn't professionally cleaned. My window is broken and does not close all the way, which may be why I get bugs and can hear everything outside. management is a joke, and has told us they moved our maintenance requests onto a spreadsheet and closed our open requests, even though they arent taken care of. the dishwasher is broken and infested with mold, and they will not fix it.

I like the apartment. We had a new roommate move in halfway through the year, and we were only given one days notice and she was not a good match. We had plenty of maintenance problems and it all depended on the problem whether it would get fixed quickly or not, Emergency issues mean nothing here

I’ve been living at The Ridge for a while now, and overall, it’s been a great experience! The amenities are a huge plus—having access to a pool, gym, and study areas makes student life much more convenient. The location is also a big bonus, with easy access to campus and plenty of nearby dining and shopping options.
The apartments themselves are modern and spacious, and maintenance is usually pretty responsive whenever an issue comes up. The staff is friendly and tries to help whenever needed,... though sometimes communication could be a bit more consistent. Parking can also be a bit tricky at times, but it’s manageable.
While no place is perfect, The Ridge provides a comfortable and enjoyable living environment, especially for students. If you’re looking for a well-equipped apartment with a fun atmosphere and good amenities, this is a solid choice!

Nice place. Clean area. Layout of the townhomes are nice and spacious. Garage is a great feature to protect car during storms or hurricanes.

The unit itself, amenities, events, and area are great. Repetitive issues of noise during the night, also management is very deteriorated (even with new employees), and the maintenance team is also precarious. The phone line never works, I personally have had to call up to 10 times for it to be answered, office hours are outdated, and when I express that I want to speak to a manager, the agents tell me there is none. I believe these issues are more than just complaints with an email solution;... they require innovation and empathy to be resolved. I also believe the management knows what needs to improve; they are big issues with easy solutions, so it's in their hands if they want a decaying community or not.
