Look elsewhere

Not worth it. The rent goes up every renewal and for what? No one is ever in the office. You call and no one answers. If you leave a message they won’t get back to you until weeks or months later. Put in a maintenance request? Forget it. They never show up. They are more worried about what the outside of the building looks like than the inside. In the entrance in the DEF building there has been a roof leak for months now that has started growing mold and they haven’t even touched that. They hire... people to paint and they tape the secured door so they can get in and out, fine but when they leave, they keep the door wide open for anyone to walk in. Safety hazard! They also trash the hallways with their trash. It constantly stinks of cigarettes in the hallways. Almost everyone I seen ALWAYS has their dog off a leash, when it the lease it’s stated that all dogs must be on a leash. No one picks up their dog poop. There is vehicles in the lot with no parking permit that get left in the parking lot for months that done even run. Worry about the inside of your building instead of painting the outside to make it “look better”. There are seniors in the building that should not be dealing with a moldy leaky entrance!!!

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations at The Ridge. We value feedback like this so that we can take action on issues that arise. We've recently brought on some new members of management here at The Ridge and have... been working diligently to resolve resident concerns. An email blast went out about several building reminders which you have stated above concerning dog waste, parking, and smoking. We will continue to address any community rules, or lease violations directly with those who are in violation. We also just partnered with a towing company to patrol the lot after hours. If you have any outstanding work orders that need to be addressed, please reach out to the office and we will have them taken care of. We strive to make our communities a great places to live for our residents. Please reach out to us at 215 482 4200, or theridge@galmangroup so we can discuss this further.

Leasing is TERRIBLE.

The leasing manager and regional manager are so unprofessional. No one calls and updates you on anything. I was driving up to that office countless times with a newborn just to be given the runaround. A 72 hour application process turned into 3 weeks and ultimately I ended up with no apartment due to their incompetence and unprofessionalism. The apartments are overpriced. Don’t even waste your time or energy on this place.

Not helpful or responsive

My fiancé and I have lived in this complex for a little over a year now and there have been several small things that have gone wrong. But the biggest problem, the alarm panel for the whole buildings fire alarm system has been beeping almost nonstop for a month now. It’s a high pitch constant beeping. My fiancé and I have both tried to go down to the leasing office to ask about resolving this problem. We have both sent several emails and gotten no response! We both work from home and honestly... it’s starting to drive us both a little mad! We can hear it while watching tv, making work calls, we even have to play music at night to wash out the beeping noise while trying to sleep. The most frustrating part is that we are getting ZERO responses to our complaints. NO returns emails, NO returned calls, and when we have spoken with someone from the leasing office all we are told is “the part is coming”. We are currently trying to get out of our lease so we can move ASAP.

We are sorry that the fire alarm panel beeping caused a disruption to your life. We tried to remedy the situation as quickly as possible and understand that it was a nuisance. I apologize about your email not being received and responded to. We... recently changed email providers and unfortunately there was an email address that was not being monitored. We have made the correction and all emails come to management now. Thank you for your feedback and we will continue to make necessary improvements.

Hit or miss

I have lived here for almost 3 years and will not be renewing my current lease. The first year I was in a updated 1 bedroom, but had problems with the AC and ceiling leaking a couple times. Maintenance responded in a timely manner so I decided to give it another try and rent a two bedroom with a friend for the next year. The 2 bedroom is outdated (pictures online are deceiving), but manageable. I am leaving because the property management company is rude and inconsiderate of the tenants. The AC... did not work for 2 summers (in 90+ degree weather) and they could care less. I had a window unit twice because the issue can't be resolved. Additionally I called for an exterminator which took 4 months to be resolved. The hallways smell disgusting and the building has several issues which they are not properly maintaining. I would've considered staying if the property management cared a little more, but they really do not respect their side of the lease and responsibility to tenants. Despite being here 3 years, I would not recommend unless you like living below your means (not a cheap place!).
