Moving away from Fossil Ridge is the biggest mistake we have ever made. My boyfriend was the porter from 2004-2005 and we were very happy there. We never ever had a bug problem while living there. Infact, this is the one apartment that we've lived at that we never even saw a bug!! All of our neighbors were wonderful. We never had a noise issue and made many friends. The only reason we moved away was the personal BS between my boyfriend and the remaining maintenance staff. Very perverted men and a B of a house keeper. Now that being said, the house keeper is no longer there (thank goodness). So as you see...all the reasons we left were personal. However, we loved the office personnel...they are wonderful people. At the time Gina was the accountant and became the manager soon after we left. She is a sweet woman and I would love for her to be my landlord. I feel like if I ever had a problem she would take care of it as soon as possible. We have never been happier and hopefully we can move back in a few months. The pet restrictions are no dogs over 40 pounds and ours is 44...we are trying to see if with more exercise and a better diet if she can't shed a few pounds, but she is pretty muscular. If it wasn't for that we would have moved back YEARS ago. We always felt safe in this community and they have an officer that lives on the premises. They are always well lit and you don't have to walk very far until you get to your front door. We also miss free covered parking! Anyone who complains about parking at Fossil Ridge needs to live at Barrington! They nickle and dime you until your barely making rent! And if you don't pay for a covered parking spot then your butt is walking a mile to get to your front door...literally. Who could afford the luxury of covered parking or a garage with the new pet rent of $20 per dog' We have 2 dogs and the new fee is killing us. We are paying $678 for an one bedroom apartment we hate. They are even talking about a $5 trash fee...yet they don't curbside pick up or anything...and have only 1 compactor. Fossil Ridge has 4 dumpsters...and they are not cockroach infested. My boyfriend was the one cleaning up what people couldn't seem to put in the dumpster and I would walk with him every morning for awhile...trust me I wouldn't stand anywhere that was cockroach infested. That's a complete lie. Oh and they curbside pick up AND there is no fee. All of our utility bills were very low and water was only $20 for 2 people in a one bedroom. The grounds are beautiful. I must say when it rains it does get mossy in the back of the complex, but they power wash often to get rid of any dangerous messes. What do you expect' They are built on a hill! I think people need to stop complaining it's not the offices fault. The whole time he worked there, there was never a problem of flooding of any kind in apartments! I seriously doubt that when people come to fix the carpet that they would tear up your apartment and run up your bills like some other person claimed. That sounds ridiculous. In fact, the office was on my boyfriend's case cause a man claimed his paintball gun had been stolen and my boyfriend had been in his apartment that day. It was a mess and a complete lie, but they throughly addressed the situation. I doubt that anyone in managment wouldn't be on someone's case if a piece of your property was broken or damaged in any way, but you have to tell them for them to help you. Duh! I hope my dog will lose weight enough for us to move back. I would recommend this apartment complex to anyone. It maybe not be the biggest with the gym, sand volleyball court, and 3 pools with 3 hot tubs but trust me the small community is the way to go unless your a big party freak. I get tired of all the noise a larger community brings and I hope we can have the peace that we once had at Fossil Ridge again. Move there...you won't be disappointed.
