Summit At Lime Ridge Apartments

Ok well now that I have received my invoice I can now speak my mind. To start. I did not have a problem with the complex location. I moved here from San Diego, and figured it was a good place that had the amenities that I wanted.
My neighbors– My first apartment I was next to someone who had wayyyy too many people living in the home and would make noise at all hours of the night. My lucky bonus is that I was under the thunderfoot couple, and it seemed like they would pound with every.single.footstep. I was able to transfer to a townhouse and was happy for a while. Then I started getting complaints from the people below me saying that my dogs were barking too much. Which was in the middle of the day. Not to excuse their barking, but it was literally during the middle of the day when the landscapers would be outside. They did what dogs are supposed to do when they hear people outside. I would have problems when I would come home and one of their family members would be parked in my spot, I would heard the sound of them partying, or the smell of burnt food. Not sure who was burning food, but it would consume my area. But I dealt with it (except for the parking) I actually complained about it, and I also went to their door multiple times and they seemed to stop every so often, but I also got dirty looks, and I wondered if my brand new car would get scratched one day. Luckily it didn’t.
Neighborhood animals-​There are MULTIPLE dogs in the community that bark all the damn time, and no one seems concerned about them. If you like feral cats this place is also for you. There is a wonderful tenant that feeds the cats, and no one seems to care. So this means that there are cats EVERYWHERE. They don’t bother you, but if you are lucky, you get to hear a cat battle royale every so often. There is a dog park which is what made me happy about being there, but my dogs hated it so we never used it (they don’t like the wood chips). I was chased by a big dog that wasn’t on the leash, and when I tried to talk to management I was asked the apartment number. Unfortunately I did not ask the dog nor the worthless owner where they lived because I was trying to protect my dogs. The owner seemed to think it was a joke and laughed it off and would make comments every so often. I actually like my job, and my freedom so I elected to count down the days until I moved rather than meeting her snark with my fist (I wasn’t too happy about getting chased. or chastised).
Safety– I have heard about houses getting broken into since people watch houses from the trail and wait for them to leave, but we never had a problem. At night you will find a car parked at the end of the street and they are either doing something illegal or playing Yahtzee. I can never tell. There is security, but I am not sure what they actually do.
Respect– This one is actually the main reason why I am writing this. We found out we were going to be out growing our town house, and needed to move. Melinda was great, and always has been great, and before Colleen was great too. When there was a problem they would fix it. My issue is with Judy. Melinda seemed to always be flexible and respectful. However whenever you deal with Judy she looks at you like you don’t deserve to speak to her, and she is snarky. We were able to end our lease early because we consulted a lawyer for options since Limeridge told us to either buy out our lease, or submit an offer to end the lease early. Turns out you can tell them to put your apartment on the market, and you only have to pay the difference of when its vacant. Weird that they didn’t offer that option. I lived here because I needed something quick, but if I was able to look a little more I wouldn’t have stayed here. They kept upping the prices, and by time we left our 2 bedroom 1 bath town house was going to be 2100 month to month. We have a 4 bedroom 2 bath house (still in concord) for 2500. It really isn’t worth what you are getting. The move was a headache, and we lost the deposit (some my fault, some I think is BS, but totally not worth fighting over) but honestly this apartment isn’t worth it.

Please everyone do not move in to this place! You will have all the bad things seriously please don’t do it!

If you love being burglarized by the thugs next door; not to worry! There is a trailer park on each side of the complex! As a bonus, thieves can also use the bike path for an easy get away.
If you like being a little too cold in Winter and way too hot in Summer; please, by all means, sign a lease here.
Most importantly, we know how much you love having the neighbors’ dogs poop and pee everywhere and not picking up the mess, so don’t you worry; the onsite staff not only does nothing about it, they actually seem to encourage it.
Lots of crime… Check!
Lots of poop… Check!
Incompetent staff… Check!

Their maintenance team is the BEST! The apartment size is nice, but it is a little dark. I wish there were more windows.

I regret to say the only, and I mean only good thing about this complex are my dear neighbors living upstairs from me. I moved in in May 2011 and I’ve tried to be happy, but with all the problems I am compelled to be here on Unilocal.There is a constant awful stench from my kitchen sink, it has backed up 3 times. It took me 2.5 years to get a kitchen stove that works. There is rust coming into my bathroom sink and the toilet doesn’t flush completely on a regular basis. The laundry room is absolutely disgusting, I’m always getting ripped off by the machines. I think Judy tries but the truth is Klingbeil just does the absolute least they can. I do not trust the utilities bills either. My sister has a 3000 sq ft house and her water bill is only $ 17.00 per month and my water alone is $ 20.00 — $ 23.00 per month for a 750 sq ft apartment. then of course I pay for sewer and trash too. Feels like living in a ghetto.

Don’t move here! This place sucks! Management is very rude! Locations is in a bad area. A/​C units are no good. In summer months or apartment is hotter then outside! I have about 4 more months left on my lease and then I’m out of here

First off: The four star rating is short a star due to location alone, which I forget about completely as soon as I pull into my cozy COVERED parking spot. The management, maintenance, and price-​to-​quality ratio all get 5 stars.
I am not a huge fan of the Monument area, but this place is close enough to my office (downtown Concord), very reasonably priced, and has the fastest maintenance response team I’ve ever seen. The guys are friendly, and Judy — the manager — is communicative and ON IT!
After living in a creepy Melrose-​place-​like Danville situation where everybody knew everybody, I enjoy the casual and friendly distance I have been able to maintain with my neighbors. We’re just neighbors. Not BFFs. That said, if I needed a screwdriver or something, I’d feel comfortable asking.
The paint was fresh, the appliances are perfectly functional (I didn’t go for the upgraded cabinets & appliances) and the layout makes sense. I work long crazy hours and frequently come home in the ‘dawn’s early light’ — the Security Guard alternately waves or salutes as he roams about. He’s a nice guy and all, but I would feel safe without him.
Like I said — a solid thumbs up, minus just a few ambiance points for the drive up Monument. But hey, you can always take Treat :)

I wanted to give myself a good 3 months at this complex before writing a review. I think it takes that long to truly get a vibe for how life is going to be. I must say that my partner and I are very happy. We moved here to escape life at Archstone Walnut Creek and do not regret the decision.
The amenities in the apartment, are very good. The appliances, colors and layout give the apartments a Condominium feel. Judy and her staff are friendly and very responsive on the few occasions I’ve needed them. San Miguel road is not a major traffic artery so except for the sound of children laughing and playing outside, it’s pretty quiet here. Parking is ample and most of the time, I can easily find a spot in front of my door.
I noticed that earlier reviews on other websites mention crime being an issue. I’ve walked my dog at 2am and felt perfectly comfortable. They do have a nighttime security presence so that adds to the sense of security. I feel much safer here than I did at Archstone. Finally, after living in the Bay Area for 2.5 years, I’m living somewhere that can be made in to a home for a few years, before we purchase a house.

I have lived here since September 2010. I love it here! Very quiet, clean, and the townhomes are huge. The mainanence guys are very quick about fixing things that I need done, and the office manager, Judy, is always very nice. She also knows me by name (and voice when I call). My neighbors are friendly, and BART is literally ½ a mile from my door step. Great gym…3 flat screens, 3 cardio machines and multiple weight training machines. Cute pool! BBQ pit/​picnic areas scattered throughout the complex. Nice family enviornment. Safe enough for me to go running at 5:00 am and 10:00 pm, without being worried or nervous. Love it here!

We were fortunate to move in after all the renovations. Our place was freshly painted and the rug was clean. The windows/​sliding glass door are double paned (the BART isn’t as noisy as you think) and the toilets/​sinks/​appliances were a little older but in decent condition.
There were some small problems with our bathtub (leaked into the first floor through the ceiling light), the front door sticking and a light switch in our bedroom that needed to be changed out. All three problems were fixed immediately by management/​maintenance. In fact in my experiences the management/​maintenance is the best I’ve seen so far. I’m used to absentee landlords not cashing rent checks and do-it-yourself-and-we’ll-take-it-out-of-your-rent. I almost forgot you can pay your rent and water bill together on-​line through the property manager’s website (
)
The deluxe apartments come with newer appliances and washer/​dryer units. There are multiple laundry rooms and are in good condition with small washer/​dryer units. They use re-​loadable cards instead of coins. $ 1.75 to wash, $ 1.50 to dry; $ 5 for the card, $ 10 minimum purchase loaded on the card.
The pool is not heated but kept clean and is a decent size. There is a weight room with everything you need to get a good workout. Residents have a covered parking space and there is plenty of guest parking. All areas of the complex are well lit and there is hired security that comes to check on the property at night. All the residents appear to keep to themselves too. All in all it’s been almost a year here and it’s been a good experience. I hope this review helps.

I have an upgraded unit and it looks okay. The problem is that this shit hole has no sound insulation at all. I can hear my upstairs neighbor walking, I hear her 2 dogs, I hear any time someone flushes a toilet or takes a shower. I’ve learned to sleep with earplugs but it is annoying as heck.
I like the new look of this apartment but I would NEVER recommend it to anyone who wants a peaceful living experience.

This place is horrid. The management is awful, the maintenance crew is super creepy and the neighborhood is SO trashy.
When we lived there, the neighbors in the adjoining building would get drunk and have Jerry Springer style showdowns on the lawn.
Also, people have giant dogs that poo all over and no one ever cleans it up. My dogs were sick the entire time we lived here because of the awful conditions. It’s so completely gross. Not even a step up from the trailer parks on either side of the complex.

We had a lot of weird experiences living here. They’ve gone through a lot of changes, and were getting some pretty nice upgrades when we were moving out.
We had a lot of problems with the water. The shower had a lot of sediment in it from a rusty water pipe, OR SOMETHING, but we had to go buy a water filter for our shower head. They even ripped up the parking lot to fix the problem, and it still didn’t help it.
And speaking of ripping up the parking lot, when this was happening, a whole new batch of problems occurred! While they were doing work on the underground piping, we started to get sewage coming up through our sink and bathtub, and the BASE of our toilet would leak. Our whole apartment would stink from the sewage in our bathroom, and we couldn’t take showers! I had to drive all the way from Concord, to Bay Point, so that I could shower at my parent’s house! For like, a month!
Then management changed, and the new owner had all the doors, back doors, and windows replaced with nice new ones, and all the buildings were painted. Personally, I think they chose a horrible mix of colors… a few building colors are nice, but the mint green and orange ones are uuuugly.
The apartment complex is in a weird location too. It’s on San Miguel Rd., which is easy access to Treat Blvd., but it’s too close to Monument Blvd. for my tastes. I could walk to a lot of places that I wouldn’t want to go, except maybe BART. I felt so isolated! That’s what I love about where I live now, I can walk to ANYTHING I could want!
Also, I lived in the «J» unit, right by the bike trail, which was creepy. I would see a lot of hobos and shady types hanging out there at night.
