I lived at Highland Ridge for a year but moved out immediately once my lease was over. The first bad sign was that I had to wait 3 months before moving in because the apartment complexes were still being constructed when I first showed interested and signed the paperwork. They constantly changed my expected move in date, which caused a inconvience to me because the lease at my old apartment ran out and my these apartments weren't ready so I had to find somewhere to live for those 3 months. When I finally got to move in, there were dead insects all over the apartment and my bar was all scratched up (you know I reported that on the inspection sheet). I lived on the first floor and the spiders were a huge problem. No matter how much I sprayed or the pest control did, the spiders never went away. And these spiders weren't your tiny or small housesize spiders, these things were long and hairy. Anyways - The walls aren't very soundproof because I had loud male neighbors upstairs who like to have big social gatherings late at night, particularly girls. I have two kids and lived in a 3-bedroom apt. The noise got so bad that I had to move my youngest son into the other room with his sibling just so he can get some sleep. The most aggrevating thing about Highland Ridge is that the leasing office never answers their phone. You can leave a dozen messages and they rarely return your phone call unless it's dealing with delinguent rent, of course. One plus thing is that management did get a little better after the first property manager left but since you can't get anyone to answer the phone when you have concerns, the improvement wasn't that much bigger. The heater in my unit constantly stopped working at the wrong time (late at night when temperature drops). The maintenance guy is very friendly and quick to respond; he's an asset to this apartment community. Some tenants who have dogs don't comply with the rules of walking your pets in the designated area so beware of that. I had one neighbor who allowed his dog to poop right by patio everyday and he never cleaned it up! Some parents don't watch their children so they run all around the property messing with people's cars, playing in the dumpsters, playing in the club house, and vandilizing the swimming pool. Beware of stuff around the apartment starting to fall apartis a major warning. I think they did a rush job while building these apartments too fast and now everything's falling apart. Good luck.

Wow, that sounds like the same stuff we have been going thru. I'm not sure if you are still a resident here, but the new manager that you wrote about got fired sometime over the summer because she was doing such a bad job. This new manager isn't much better. We've got the same insects/noise/parents-not-watching-their-children/dog poop problems as you did. I'm just happy I'm graduating in May and getting out of here!
