An awesome place to live!

I have lived at Hickory Ridge for over a year now and i was curious as to how it rated. I was shocked to see the reviews it got! Ignore everything you have read so far. Hickory Ridge is a really nice place to live. If you don't believe me, come out and take a look for yourself. The apartments are enourmous...so you definately get your money's worth. Even the one bedrooms are monsterous! The walk in closets are the same size as the bathrooms! <br> <br>The maintenance team is awesome. They know how to fix everything and they always come out to fix the problem in a reasonable amount of time. <br> <br>Sense i've lived here, they have been under new management and i must say, the new manager has done a fantastic job. I've talked to her several times and she's always been so nice and helpful. She's been in the apartment business for about fifteen years. The rest of the office staff is incredible. Both young ladies that work there are extremeley outgoing and friendly. Other places i've gone too made me feel like i was bothering them when i asked to see an apartment. <br> <br>One of the reviews i read complained about the property not having a life guard on duty. When has an apartment complex ever had a lifeguard?!?!? I think it's better this way cause i dont have to worry about getting wistled at for the stupidest little things. One of the reviews brought up the little boy who drowned in the pool last year. Unfortunatly, this is true but i happened to know the family (they were in my building) and i know that the mother of the little boy was not watching her child properly. Some complexes (but very few) have a "monitor" who keeps an eye on things. Hickory does have one and he's awesome. He's the courtesy officer and he lives on site so he always knows whats going on. This makes me feel very safe. Not to mention that Hickory Ridge is in a really nice section of Peoria to begin with. Also, the manager runs credit reports on anyone who applies so i've noticed the quality of people living here now is excellent. <br> <br>Upon move in, everyone gets brand new carpet and fresh paint. When i first walked into my apartment when i moved in, it smelled like a brand new home. Also, when the new manager took over, she hired some landscapers and the grounds are looking beautiful. <br> <br>As far as noise goes, you may hear your neighbors from time to time but ya know what....these are apartments we're talking about. You're bound to hear people who live six feet from you. If you dont want to hear anything...buy a fricken farm and live in the country. Compared to other complexes, the noise level is fine because the managment will evict any residents who are continualy causing a disturbance. <br> <br>The pool is great and so is the whirl pool and the fitness center is always open 24 hours a day. <br> <br>Hickory Ridge is my home so i feel obligated to defend it against people who critisize it. The people who said those nasty things about this complex were probably residents who were evicted and were still pissy about it. <br> <br>Hickory Ridge is an excellent place to live! <br>
