WE ARE MILITARY AND HAVE LIVED AT HUNTING RIDGE FOR 2 YEARS; LARGELY BECAUSE THERE ARE FEW CHOICES IN GOLDSBORO AND BASE HOUSING IS A NIGHTMARE. HUNTING RIDGE CONSISTS OF TOWNHOMES ONLY; THERE ARE NO GARDEN APARTMENTS. THE COMPLEX WAS BUILT IN THE SEVENTIES SO DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING WITH THE LATEST AND GREATEST OF AMENTIES - JUST THE VERY BASICS OF EVERYDAY LIVING. SOME REFURBISHING HAS BEEN DONE BUT IS NOTHING MORE THAN REQUIRED MAINTENANCE WITH A COMPLEX OF THIS AGE I.E. REPLACING THE FENCING AROUND THE PATIOS, NEW FIXTURES IN THE BATHS (IN SELECT UNITS), NEW CARPET/FLOORING (IN SELECT UNITS), ETC.

THE APPLIANCES ARE VERY BASIC CONSISTING OF A FROST FREE FRIDGE WITH NO ICE MAKER, A BASIC DISHWASHER, AND A BASIC RANGE WITH SELF CLEANING OVEN. NO MICROWAVE. THERE ARE WASHER/DRYER HOOK-UPS. THE INTERIOR IS PAINTED THE TYPICAL OFF WHITE.

THE GROUNDS ARE MAINTAINED FAIRLY NICE ON THE MOST VISIBLE AREAS FROM THE ROAD BUT THE BACKSIDE OF MY BUILDING HAS BEEN NEGLECTED SINCE MOVE-IN. THE PINE NEEDLES CONSISTS OF LAYER UPON LAYER PROVIDING A SAFE HAVEN FOR INSECTS. THE FRONT PORCHES/SIDEWALKS/PARKING LOTS ARE RARELY BLOWN FREE OF DEBRIS AND THE BACK PATIOS ARE THE TENANTS RESPONSIBILITY. I BELIEVE THE PARKING LOTS COULD BE BETTER MAINTAINED IF A SCHEDULE WERE SET IN PLACE BY MANAGEMENT TO INSURE RESIDENTS PARKED ELSEWHERE THROUGHOUT THE COMPLEX. FYI - THE GROUNDS ARE NOT MAINTAINED BY A PROFESSIONAL CREW BUT RATHER BY ONE OF THE STAFF.

THE NOISE LEVEL IS LOW WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW RESIDENTS DRIVING BY WITH THEIR CAR STEREOS BLARING OR THE OCCASSIONAL DOMESTIC DISPUTE. THERE ARE CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT THE MAJORITY ARE GOOD AND DO NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH VANDELISM OR THEFT.

FRAN, THE OFFICE MANAGER, HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND DILIGENT IN PREPARING MAINTENANCE REQUESTS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MAINTENANCE REQUESTS SINCE MOVE-IN AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND REQUESTING MARK TO DO THE WORK. MARK ALWAYS DOES IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO CALL ABOUT THE SAME REPAIR WHEN HE DOES THE JOB. ADDITIONALLY, HE SHOWS GREAT RESPECT FOR ME AND MY HOME, AND HE ALWAYS CLEANS UP AFTER HIMSELF.

OVERALL, HUNTING RIDGE HAS MET OUR NEEDS. THE INSPECTIONS TEND TO GET A BIT ANNOYING BUT IS A WAY FOR MANAGEMENT TO INSURE EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER AND PROVIDES OVERALL WELL BEING OF THE RESIDENTS.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COMPLEX OVER OTHERS IN THE GOLDSBORO AREA.
