Resident 2007 - 2013

Let me take the time to present a positive review of Villas of Vista Ridge to counteract the negative reviews of the past / well past, since it s much less likely that positive comments are made on a ratings site. As a resident for just shy of 6 years, this property gave me everything I was looking for from the start - a smallish community, including townhome-type residences, controlled access, tasteful visuals both within the residences and throughout the grounds / common areas, sufficient sq footage including storage, personable / professional staffing from management to leasing to maintenance, and room both within the community and in adjacent residential areas / parks for me and my 110 lb Great Pyr-mix dog to exercise. As a bonus through the years, I've experienced a friendly community of residents. When my dog and I walk the property, we never fail to get into conversation with fellow residents. While I've heard gripes through the years, the predominant interaction has relayed an underlying comfort with their living situation. And, it's amazing how often those who are legitimately uncomfortable with a situation have not contacted property personnel to address the issue, and who later comment to me on their own positive resolution. From personal experience, the response to issues is immediate, attentive and respectful, from answering phone calls (including off-hours response from maintenance) to thoroughly and competently addressing whatever the issue might be. Is the parking availability break-even - yes, and sometimes there's a bit of a hike from car to residence due to the layout of the community with roadside parking versus parking lots. But, at the same time an abundance of units have garages. Are there lots of children letting off steam - yep, it's not a senior-living community. It's mind-blowing to me how many intelligent, personable children I've met through my years here. Have I had to suggest to them at times that their actions are inappropriate - yep, and have rarely had to talk to the same child more than twice, have only had to go to a parent once and have rarely related these issues to property personnel other than in an FYI manner. As another bonus, this community is green and the initiatives are improving all the time. This year, we've gotten new roofs, with the old shingles / tarpaper striped and replaced, new gutters and new screens. As a large dog owner with somewhat limited options, I ve been more than pleased with the dog-friendly amenities, from the dog park to the numerous, well-placed trash stands with ample supply of refuse bags. With each lease renewal, I have in fact taken a look at what else is available in the immediate and surrounding areas (no sense in limiting options and yes, each year my rental rate has increased, but in keeping with the general increases throughout the DFW area). I have not yet found the like of what is available to me here - sq footage, amenities, etc - for a like or lesser cost, and I'd potentially be jeopardizing the community feel here if I were to move elsewhere. Bottom line - I get exactly what I expect for the money in this community and believe that others looking for what's been related here would be similarly happy.
