If you have money to waste.....then move here

I moved to Park Ridge Estates almost 1 year ago. I was attracted to the abundance of trees and the awesome trails that surrounded the complex. Another plus was its close proximity to my job. The staff seemed nice and very attentive... that was until I signed the lease. Recently I placed a service request with management and it took 3 weeks for maintance to respond. When maintenance did come, they did not fix the problem. Finally, out of frustration, I paid $78 to have someone fix a problem that Park Ridge Estates was responsible for fixing. Currently I have called maintenance 3 times within the past 2 weeks to fix my air conditioner, which will not cool below 80 degrees. When I went to speak with management I was told that I had to understand that it was hot outside and considering I had high ceilings I should not expect the a.c. to cool below a certain temperature. I do not know about you, but when the heat index is 100 plus, I would like my dwelling space to be below 80 degrees. Aside from bad maintenance, management is awful, they are never in the office, nor will they return phone calls. The breezeways not kept clean and the prices are too high for what you get. Please do not be fooled by the advertised amenities i.e. weight room and free cable. The weight room, which was supposedly renovated, is nothing more than a small dingy area in the back of the complex that is not safe for anyone after dark. Cable, though it is cheap, is included in your rent. It is not free, as I was told before signing my lease. Needless to say, I would not recommend this property to anyone......unless you do not care about your living area and you have money to waste.
