When i first came to view apartments and then later to sign the lease, the management personnel were extremely courteous, kind and respectful. It seemed like a fairy tale.

However once i was "hooked" and "bound" by the lease, this all changed and managemnet showed its true form that was "hiding" behind the kindness facade...
As a fellow reviewer mentioned, they were, in short, very ill-tempered and egotistic.

Honestly i liked living in briar ridge because it was safe and conveniently located with well-lit streets nearby. The place was generally nice especially if you counter the alternatives in Corvallis. The people, on the other hand, is the main reason i left.

Yes, the apartments themselves were visually sound but constructed of cheap material that got easily worn..including blinds that flaked, bathroom drains that clogged and tiles that cracked...its like a barbie doll house...nice to look at but not all that sturdy.

Management is very slow with maintenance, perhaps with the hopes that you'll forget about it or maybe do-it-yourself...but BEWARE!!, because when you leave they'll try to slide the previous tenants' damages onto your paperwork EVEN when you have stated in your apartment entry documents that these very damages were there before you even resided in the apartment.
I strongly recommend you save copies of ALL paperwork you share with the management and use specific and detailed language.

Lastly, as though the deception from the office managing couple, Marie and the ever on-the-job "tipsy" Ralph, was not enough to shoot the spirits down--the briar ridge community was one that, albeit subtly, rejected diversity EVEN when a lot of tenants were of diverse backgrounds.
