Hey everyone, please don't listen to the last review- it has been written by a staff member. This apartment complex stinks- from the manager down to the staff. PRG Realestate is a slumlord company that buys cheap property and attempts to "sugar coat" them enough to raise rent. Look at their other properties!!! Even if you complain to corporate, they just direct the email back to the property manager without care. OHHHH!!!! HAHAHAHA(I posted the below comment just a few minutes ago, and the staff member is already lashing back- he/she truly cares about the complex and the people!!!!!) Please find below my response to the staff member/hero proponent of Park Ridge Estates. In conclusion, why did this person seek to defend negative comments prior to receiving them' Answer- Because the person knew that nobody, but another staff member, would agree with them!!! Common Logic!!! Read the whole thing, FANTASTIC GREAT THINGS, minor bad things!!!! Cheers to the staff member!!! Eloquently written, but CALLED OUT QUICKLY!!!!
MY RESPONSE--------->>>>>>

HAHAHAHA!!! Ok!!! First, I really appreciate you wanting to provide regular updates on ParkRidge Estates. Either you are bored, or you care so much about future residents that you would like to start a "blog" here.

At first glance, your comments kinda smell like those of a staff member, BUT WAIT (it gets better) - you then detailed everything from amenities, location, local businesses, maintenance, staff members, common areas, floor plans, and my favorite, how you were looking for the price of "$709"!!!! Did anyone ever tell you that liars lie specifically' Had you been a resident, you would have said "somewhere in the 700 range", or about $700. I heard the exact same speech when I was showed the model apartment!!! C mon, even so, if that place was built so well, why the heck does it lack the very insulation that you claim reduces noise! And why would you comment on it' It was built 30 somethin years ago- the builders must have been architectural geniuses to be make it better than apartments recently built!

But, you did not stop there, you provided a "catch all phrase" at the end in an effort to evade being called a staff member. Nice effort at trying to gain credibility!!! But, you of course are not a staff member, I wouldn t want to flame you.

HAHAHAHA!!!! For not being in the industry, you sure do know a lot about what apartment complexes do on these sites- in fact, you proved it!!! By the way, you would have to be at Park Ridge a lot longer to know that the dumpster next to the office overflows and causes bottles to run down the hill..get it...next to the office!! (More like in it). Tell Jeremy Devlin I said hello and to take his staff off the websites! But, I know, you all will continue to do so forever!!! Ya gotta love PRG REALESTATE!!!!!!

In conclusion, I sure hope they don t jack your rent up next year- Park Ridge is a super-stellular secret in the Durham area!!!!!! And with your employee discount, it would still go up- PRG is so cheap that they would even screw over their own employees!!!!! Why do you think turnover is so high' Pretty soon, you will be just another number!

Wow - I responded because the site said there was a response - you apparently. You really are bitter, aren't you? I can see why people don't want to leave ratings here, because they get attacked by people like you. It's creepy. It's like you're watching this one site just to attack people. I said I wasn't a staff member, because I had read other reviews that were actually written by people like you (or maybe you) accusing them of being staff members. No way in hell I'm giving you my card - why, so you can harass me in person and creep me out further? But hey, call the Durham Center in Durham - 560-7100, and tell them you would like to be screened for mental health services. They will do the screening, and recommend a mental health agency in the community. Oh, and I'm 42 - I was raised in the 70s and 80s Bill and Ted era. Most of us say "dude" :)

HAHAHAHA!!! Phlease1, you are so quick on the response- almost like a paid staff member concerned that his or her thoughts would be refuted by subsequent postings. Again, you constantly attack character by using adjectives such as; ???bitter???, ???creepy???, ???[in need of] mental health services.??? In doing so, are you not diminishing your credibility? Are your activities consistent with that of a normal professional in ???mental health services???? Is your language consistent with that of a normal professional, or do you seem like a post-collegiate staff member? Why were you so poised for this argument? Stop attacking character, and answer the questions- it will help you earn your credibility back. Did you know, that it is illegal to hold yourself out as a licensed professional when you are not?

Hey, the Bill & Ted era didn't start until February 17, 1989. You would have been roughly 21 back then- a far cry from being "raised in the 60s and 70s." That is unless you were incredibly slow- to the point of mental retardation- which is not a funny topic. SEE AUTHORITY AT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dude The only time the term "dude" was used in the 70s was- 1972 - "All the Young Dudes", a hit single performed by Mott the Hoople, written by David Bowie. 1973 - Dude, a musical by Galt MacDermot. 1978 - Big Wednesday, a film drama depicting the surfer life in the '60s and '70s. There is nothing stated about "Bill and Ted" in the history of the word "Dude" until 1989. But hey, you wouldn't be making stuff up or anything, wikopedia is incorrect, not you! HAHAHAH- YOU ARE SUCH A STAFF MEMBER!!! Next time- don't get into details, you will only get caught- case and point! Good luck on the job, because the comments are staying on this site as an example of what y'all do in the office over there!

Apt complex was built on 20 yrs ago and honestly it's in pretty good condition if you ask me. People need to keep in mind here that you should just look at the really bad reviews nor should you look at the really good reviews, look at the mid range. Because the good reviews could possibly be staff members and the bad reviews could be disgruntled residents that were probably evicted because they couldn't pay rent.
