Our rent was very reasonable. While the apartment was not inspired, it was entirely adequate. The closet space is excellent, and we enjoy the dishwasher and in-apartment laundry. We do recommend getting a two-bedroom - this helps ensure that most of your neighbors are young families and students. (The atmosphere in the single-bedroom buildings can be pretty scary.)
Be prepared for some hassles with the phone wiring - the buildings were not well wired, and this has resulted in annual calls to Ameritech. (Fortunately, our repairs have been covered, since the lines outside the building are Ameritech's. Ridgewood is responsible for most inside repairs.)
The office staff and maintenance need to be pushed a little to get good service, but after one letter of complaint, they've been extremely helpful and flexible.
If you're ready to stand up for yourself a little, you can get an excellent housing bargain.
