Timber Lakes Red Bridge

More Bad than Good From: renter1960 Date posted: 9/15/2007 Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2007 1 response   I'm a resident...NOT managment. I've lived her for 3 years, and I'm only leaving because I'm moving in with my partner. I've lived through old and new management, and both had strengths and weaknesses. The current management is more professonal and interested in having resident functions like BBQs and game nights, which is a great way to create community. That never happened in my two years with the former management company. The current management isn't always as quick to respond to things as I'd like. For example, one of the machines in the workout center was broken for over 4 months, and they kept claiming that they were leaving messages for the company to fix it but were never called back. I suspect that they left some messages, but I also suspect that fxing the machine wasn't on the priority list. Overall, the fitness center is a great amenity, and I've personally seen them clean it regularly. Like any fitness center, bringing your own towel to clean the equipment before and after use is recommended. The grounds are by far the best feature. There's a great 1-mile walking trail, and the new management put in "dog poop" bins and continually supply bags, which has cut down on stepping in doggie doo greatly. The wood porches were recently fixed and painted. Landscaping is quite as regular as with the former management company, but it does get done. My apartment is great because of the views, and I guess I've been pretty blessed with fairly quiet neighbors. If we both leave windows and doors open, we hear each other, especially through the porches. The walls are thin. Not the worst I've ever experience, but not the best. The amenities in the apartment are nice, but I wouldn't call them "luxury", because none are necessarily "real" stone. Management, for the most part, has always been nice to me. I've been nice to them, too. So, I think a relationship goes both ways. I'm not expecting to get my security deposit back because I've heard and read too many horror stories about how they charge unrealistic prices for normal wear and tear. For example, the blinds are cheap blinds, but the replacement cost is $50. Open them wrong once, and they crinkle. I would live here again, but only if I could live in Phase I. I think that the apartments in Phase I probably were slightly better made. I'd also check on my neighbors. Noisy neighbors can make this place unbearable. But, many people reading this review are probably noisy themselves and don't even recognize it. Parking is becoming an issue. Garages are expensive at $50 a month, but worth it to not hassle about finding a spot. Overall, I would recommend TimberLakes.
