Oxford at Tech Ridge Apartments

I have been living here for 2 years, and I have never had such an amazing maintenance team. John is always with a great attitude and ready to help.

Oxford @ Tech Ridge management are clueless how to run an apartment complex as well as their corporate boss. They thing there 45 combine years of experience is all it takes to run this place. A survey to the residents would show highly dissatisfaction and oved 90% plan to move after only one year in the complex.

I’ve lived here for two years, and the property recently went through an ownership change from Arium Tech Ridge to Oxford at Tech Ridge.
The first year I lived here, I had zero complaints. Maintenance came immediately as requested when my A/​C had broken and had routine pest control throughout the year. The property is nice and kept up well on the exterior. The apartments are nice on the inside for what the rental rate is. However, the second year I lived here, my thoughts have changed tremendously. Routine pest control did not come at all in last few months, and won’t unless you request it through the maintenance resident portal. I’ve requested them to come numerous times in the last few months of my lease because I found some spiders in my unit, and to this day I don’t know if they ever came because they did not leave a note. I finally had to spray my own bug killer. I’ve also seen silverfish a few times in multiple rooms (closet and kitchen cabinets). As a really clean person who constantly sweeps, mops, vacuums and dusts, I find it hard to believe that I am having this many pest problems. You will need to routinely schedule pest control on your own. I also had a problem with my most recent renewal notice. My new renewal rate for my third year was given to me on a Friday evening when I was out of town. When I got back on Sunday, I realized that the notice was given a week past my 60 day notice timeframe. On Monday morning I reached out to the office to tell them that I wanted to move out, and was told I needed to fill out a formal notice. When I did, they tried to charge me for the extra week at the month-​to-​month prorated rate because my notice «was not given 60 days in advance». The manager tried to tell me on the phone that all they had to give me was a 5 day notice. When I went to the office to speak with the manager in person to tell her that I was not given the proper time allotment to give my notice on time & that no one releases an apartment without knowing their new rental rate, the manager tried reading me the 60 Day Notice information from my lease. She summed up the paragraph very quickly saying they only had «to provide between a 90 and 5 day notice before move out». When I asked to read the lease myself, it actually stated «to provide between a 90 and 5 day notice before written consent is due», which means the property needed to provide me my renewal information at least a week before my notice deadline. When I pointed out the wording, the manager slammed the lease down on the desk and said «You’re right, you’re right, our new leases will not have that», handed me a new paper with my true move out date on it and asked me to leave. I recommend knowing what your lease says upon signing and knowing when exactly your 60 day notice is due. The new apartment manager is not the nicest of people to deal with, being not very nice in person and rude over the phone when I called one day to ask about the rent online portal being down and unable to pay my rent on the due date. I am still going back and forth with the office on my final payments for my last water bill and move out charges. There have been some vague charges that I cannot get them to explain to me.
If this is the area you want to live, there are other apartments in the area. My advice would be to check them all out before deciding!

This complex was well-​maintained and staffed by courteous, caring people when I first moved in last August (Arium @ Tech Ridge). The new management changed all of that. While most of the new employees were friendly/​respectful, the property manager was anything but. She was extremely rude and unprofessional when I went in to discuss my intent to vacate and subsequently had another employee apologize for her days later. Now I am 37 days after move-​out and still no security deposit refund. They’ll be getting a demand letter this week, followed by a lawsuit once they don’t follow through or try to nickel/​dime me. Good thing I took before and after photos and made the apartment cleaner than when I moved in! No doubt, new management will be taking over soon.

Worse mistake you will ever make moving into this dump. I lived here a total of 4.5 yrs. Was a high end apartment for 3 yrs, slowly turned dump in the last few years. Especially the newest Oxford management. Look out for current community manager Tinnieh Guajardo. I have never met someone so rude and uneducated at the same time. If you are going to be ignorant, don’t be rude. I mean it makes dealing with you that much more difficult. You can dress up stupid but you still stupid. Example — upon move out, she literally sent me a copy of my rent check on an unsecured website not encrypted, as an itemized receipt that I requested. She explained that no one knew «her password» and that she had no idea she violated federal law. She also tried to charge me ½ the rent for 7 days of prorated rent. Her math skills could use some work. Again dress up ignorance in some press on lee nails, high heels, and a boobie top all you want, you cant cover up that much ignorance. (FYI…Had to close my bank account.) Don’t ask for a boss’ phone number, she don’t have one! Google it! You will find her boss phone number.
Moving away from management, be careful where you step, the poop around the place is disgusting! If that doesn’t stop you, check out the police activity on the property. Better chain your tires or you will find your car on blocks. And the apartments are broken into during the DAY! If the pool still entices you, don’t drink the water, the group know as «Animal House» puts the rusty nasty pool furniture in the pool for their daily game of beer pong as well as their dogs. And if none of this keeps you at bay, check out the Pests! From ants, roaches to silverfish in your underwear drawers or the mold growing everywhere!!! Don’t worry the mold is not «black mold» so management is not responsible to clean it despite it was there before you moved in… and the roaches, ants and silverfish issues… well management is working on it… for the past 2 yrs. They have pest control once a month at YOUR costs! If none of that moves you away from this place, well settle in your neighbors from the gross apartments next door which includes Section 8 housing will join you on hot summer days to share the pool or the gym cause they can! Oh one last thing, be careful of the dog park — one dog died after drinking out of the water bowl this past year and several dogs including mine obtained an infection from a parasite in the grass due to the lingering poop and a dead animal that was there for several months. The vet gets rid of the parasite with an antibiotic and a steroid. Can take two months. Costs couple hundred bucks — managements response — not their responsibility! If you don’t yield to my warning or others then you get what you deserve with this place!
Good luck~ worse decision you will make living here~

I can’t really say anything about these apartments, but they are pretty interiorly. Very nice kitchen and bathroom.
Seemed big for a single person. than most apartments I’ve been into. Living room is spacey for one person. Cute balcony.

I’ve lived at Arium Tech Ridge for 3 years but this will be the last mostly due to the change of management in the past year and their lack of respect for the residents.
There has been a lot of crime which they try to hide. I’ve woken up to many a car on blocks with tires stolen. Apartments on the ground floor are frequently broken into and the gym was broken into at the beginning of the year with all the TVs stolen. Management’s only attempt to notify residents of the crime was a note posted by the mailboxes. Yet when they want to spam us with pointless newsletters or demand something from us, they use our personal emails AND deliver flyers via our mailboxes. The new manager (Lloyd) did hold a community meeting that I attended, foolishly thinking, he would address the recent flare-​up of crime. Instead we were scolded about picking up after pets and was told it was our own responsibility to watch out for any suspicious activity and work with our neighbors to protect each other from crime. It was at this point, I no longer felt safe here.
They will also nickel and dime you once you move in. The cost of rent seemed pretty reasonable with a 2 bedroom going for less than $ 1000 when I first moved in. Every year, they tried to raise it significantly and every year, I had to go back and forth with them to negotiate a fair deal. If for some reason you do decide to live here, do not just accept their raise in rent after the first year. All offers are negotiable and they will even ask you what you want to pay. On top of the rent, be prepared to pay per month: $ 20 pet rent per pet, $ 10 trash fee, somewhere between $ 60 — 75 in water /​sewer fees and $ 2.50 fee to have a 3^rd party company print and mail you a bill.
I’m living in fear of moving out of these apartments as I’ve heard from many residents that you will be slapped with a cleaning bill upon move-​out regardless of how well you clean. They recently sent us a newsletter saying we are responsible for anything over normal wear and tear. Fair enough, but making us pay for professional carpet steam cleaning is way above normal wear and tear. And I don’t quite understand why I had to pay a non-​refundable $ 300 pet deposit + $ 20 per pet per month if they are still going to charge me another $ 150 for pet treatment once I move out.
They don’t have an answering service so if you have an emergency after hours or on the weekend, you are out of luck until regular business hours.
The noise is horrendous as the walls are paper thin. I get to listen to my neighbors’ music every morning while I shower. Then there was the time, I was awoken by the beeping of fire alarms from an upstairs apartment at 1am and they continued until about 4am.
I can’t complain at all about the maintenance. They have forgotten to come a few times but I’m sure that was likely due to Management not giving them our request until after the 3^rd one. Once they did arrive, they got the job done extremely quickly and were always very friendly and pleasant unlike those in the office who can’t bother to say hello.
Bottom line, the pool is nice, when it is clean, but not worth the cost and hassle of this place. I’ve already starting looking and can’t wait until my lease is up. There are way better apartments out there for the same or less money.
