Resident 2011 - 2016

9/26/2016

Some things to know before you tour: Carla Properties has sunk a lot of money recently into updating the siding, painting, and extensive remodeling at Stoneridge. While this doesn't do much for the liveability, it does make the complex look much newer than it actually is. Once you go inside an apartment, it becomes fairly clear that these were built in the 70's. The walls are thin and in some places the drywall is soft. At some point, mold will eat through the fresh paint they apply over problem areas. Doors and cupboards will need to be periodically adjusted to make sure they close correctly. Be prepared to manage this on your own. The amenities aren't bad. When I moved in, garbage, sewer/water, and cable TV were all included with rent. This has gone away. Rent has also steadily increased by at least $50/month every year I've been here. So it's not cheap by any stretch, and is on pace to match the prices in nearby Portland. What you get for your money is a fairly responsive maintenance staff (which is good because they often have to re-fix things they attempt to repair), pool/spa/sauna/workout facilities, and a "clubhouse" that is now only available during business hours. The laundry room has been removed completely. One interesting development recently has been the "no smoking" policy, which I suppose means "no smoking during business hours" because people smoke (cigarettes, cigars, cannabis) on their porches and while walking around the complex freely from 6pm on. To my knowledge, there have been no steps taken to curb this. If you don't want your apartment to smell like smoke, you'll need to close your windows. Sugar ants are also a problem here, but that's sort of a neighborhood issue. This neighborhood has a lot of ants. There's not much you can do about that, apart from keeping a very clean apartment. If you have messy small children or pets, and ants bother you, this probably isn't a great area for you.
