Pricey for what you get

I moved into this complex over a year ago and have since left but in my time here there had been many issues. The rules are a bit ridiculous if you ask me, one that actually made me laugh was the “no bikes on patios/balcony’s”.… See More >

    Not helpful- they only care about rent

    I have lived here for 2+ years and hadn’t had any issues until now. I have made several complaints about people smoking weed in the building I live in. Nothing has been done about the issue, what the office did was put a red note… See More >

      ***STAY AWAY*** My wife and I have lived in 5 different apartments in my life and Summer Ridge is the worst. Quick Summary: Overall: 0.5/5 Cost: 2.5/5 Management: 0/5 Living space: 2/5 Overall, I would not recommend this apartment to anyone. It is fairly pricy… See More >

        This complex has been under new management for almost a year. During this past year maintenance services have gone down the toilet. They will not fix anything and use Covid-19 as an excuse. Many residents have multiple issues that management says they cannot fix until… See More >

          If I could post 0 stars I would. DO NOT MOVE HERE. I've dealt with many apartment complexes and managements and this by far has to be the most unprofessional apartment that I've dealt with. The entire process has been misleading and unprofessional and their… See More >

            I was initially drawn to Summer Ridge because it is surrounded by woods and is convenient to the freeway. I’ve since lived her for 3 years. Overall it’s been ankle place to live, but as with any place it has its problems. Maintenance responds quickly… See More >

              Summer Ridge is a very quite and beautiful place to live. The staff is friendly and accommodating and interested in making this community feel like your home. The Pros: Super nice, genuine, and competent office staff. If you have an issue, it will be taken… See More >

                I moved into Summer Ridge for two reasons. I was moving back to Kalamazoo (where I grew up) and it was one of the only apartments that has a washer and dryer, dishwasher and air conditioning that is not mostly college students or subsidized. Overall… See More >

                  Since I know how difficult it is trying to find an apartment, especially in a new city, I want to give a detailed, honest review. Pros: - Located in a safe/quiet neighborhood. The enclosed hallways and intercom system helped me to always feel safe.… See More >

                      Although I haven't lived here during all 4 seasons yet I have to say I am not unhappy. Yes I hear other residents coming and going in the hallway, toilets flushing down the wall but that is called "apartment living" it comes… See More >

                            I lived at Summer Ridge for two years and had a really good experience. I think part of the fact was that I was lucky to have incredibly quiet and nice neighbors. I rarely heard them and my unit was tucked in the… See More >
