The facility is great...NO roaches EVER. However, those little silverfish can be found occasionally. I lived at Forest Ridge for almost a year. Two pools, a clubhouse, resident activities, etc. The only problem is management and too high of a price. I obtained a quote for $707 and went back two weeks later and the price was raised to $832 after they told me they could honor the price until the end of the month. So, I went ahead and signed a lease at $832. $832 for a ONE bedroom, 1.5 bath. I found out that my neighbors who were in a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath were paying roughly what I was!! So don't let them see you in a nice car or they will charge you. They are only willing to work with you on your rent once you have signed your intent to move out. ----- is the only good employee that is willing to do whatever to keep you in your home.

You paid $832 for a ONE bedroom!? WOW! My first year I paid $743.00 for a TWO bed/1.5 bath. Then when I resigned for my second year the recent went up to $773.00! You were paying $100.00 more than I was and you had an entire bedroom less than I did. All I can say is watch out for -----, the head manager, she did the same thing to one of my friends who lived there as well! Forest Ridge was a fine place and I only had very minor problems the first year (which was before ----- was made head community manager). I've called -----n D. Bell countless times and all it is, is a waste of time! They never once helped me until I filed against -----, and Forest Ridge actually had to pay the 5 months rent because of all the proof against her I had for harassment. And yes, I agree with you on -----, he is super nice!

I just googled -----n D. Bell and found a contact email address and emailed their headquarters...
