Mesa Ridge Apartments

This is probably one of the worst places you could live at. I moved here on a whim back in July of 2014 due to the condo my husband and I were renting was being sold. The apartment itself was nice it was newly upgraded pretty small but it was fine. The cockroach problem was horrible and the neighbors above me were always so loud I don’t think they ever slept and they would throw stuff off their balcony onto ours. I luckily was able to get out of my lease in less than 4 months (Thank God! It was a big stress-​Out Nov 2014) let’s just say I did much better research when I moved out and found an amazing place in a nice neighborhood (with security cameras) with almost double the size a washer/​dryer garage central AC and heat, wood floors, fire place large patio a beautiful city view (unlike the one my apt at mesa ridge claimed to have; more like weeds) for $ 350 more. I now feel safe where I live my neighbors are allllll amazing. I am soooooo happy to be out of this place. If they remodeled everything, secured the place, improved the parking, it may have some potential. Over all stay away from Mesa Ridge Apartments.

Carla is the best property manager I’ve ever had, no joke! I’ve lived in 3 different apartment complexes the last few years, and she has been the most attentive, kind and helpful. The downsides of this place are the washers and dryers. They eat my money often, but I call Carla to let her know and she gives me my quarters back the next day! The carpet in the hall is also pretty old and not too attractive, but they say they are going to replace it once the dogs (existing dogs were grandfathered in, they no longer accept dogs) are no longer on the property. Who knows. The apartment, itself, has been pretty great. Nice carpet, huge rooms, good sized bathrooms, and nice walk in closet in the master. The appliances are kinda old, but they work just fine.
The neighbors get kinda loud at times and I admit, I get pretty annoyed at that. There’s not much anyone can do though. Some of the noise comes from the other apartment complex, so it’s just something that comes with apartment life, I guess.
They are, unfortunately, increasing rent due to supply and demand, and other external factors are causing me to move out. I will really miss this place and Carla. It’s been a great experience over all, and I wish I could stay!

Carla is an awesome property manager. I was very nervous about moving in to Mesa Ridge Apartments because of some of the reviews like the one below from Jennifer K. But I have to say because of the new property manager (Carla) my nervousness has subsided. There had been a couple of things I didn’t feel comfortable about with my unit and she resolved them all. She’s very professional. She’ll do follow-​up calls until the issue is resolved. She seems to have your best interest in mind; which is important to me because I can’t say that about the majority of my past property managers. All-​in-​all this is a good place to live for the price. Do your research on rental prices in this town and you’ll know what I mean.

Moved here about a month ago and it’s infested with roaches since day one… Parking spaces are horrible… Parked in what I thought was guest parking because my car was hard to get into space at the moment and no numbers were on any of the spaces by pool so that’s where I parked… I come out and tow truck has my car on, the property manager standing there and blatantly says she thought it was my car but saw my space was open so didn’t think was mine, well if you thought it was my car fucking call and find out before having towed, common courtesy! I was charged $ 89 to get off… She was so rude and claiming I knew no guest parking but I honestly thought it was guest and she didn’t give a shit … Just said «I gotta go»! I absolutely hate it here! If I could give zero stars I would!

Great property owner, she answers very promptly. Rents easily paid online. I recommend finding a laundromat to wash clothes in, never an open washer or dryer (I go to u-​city coin wash it’s amazinggg)
The apartment is nice, really nice actually, the no AC sucks but you can buy a portable unit! (Cheaper electric then central AC)
The only fault is the neghborhood. Might just be because I’m from the suburbs but lets just say I don’t walk to my car alone at night
And the apartment complex is not locked… There is a gate. But it does not lock, that really concerns me.
Oh and downfall only one parking spot per unit… Dumb.

NOTE: This is the THIRD time I’m posting this review. Good thing I saved it on my computer.
First of all I find it rude that this place deleted my previous review just because they probably didn’t like it! If they delete this one I will just put in ANOTHER review and I will put this review on all other reviewing sites as well! People deserve to know the TRUTH!
The manager does not live on site and is never there. The maintenance guy supposedly lives on site but also services like 2 – 3 other complexes so when there’s a maintenance problem you are always told by the manager after like 2 – 3 days of trying to report it that you’re just not a priority because he services more than 1 complex.
There are major NOISE PROBLEMS. People who live there just don’t give a damn. Calling the police and complaining to the manager multiple times just doesn’t do anything. They just tell you that they will talk to the people making the noise each time but nothing changes. Especially during the summer people are partying in the pool area even after hours and there is no security to make sure it is locked up.
We were also accused THREE TIMES of not paying rent because one time the manager misplaced our check and the other 2 times it was applied to the wrong apartment!!! Instead of realizing it was a mistake or even looking into it they just assume we didn’t pay it and accuse us!
We also seem to have an ant problem in our apartment and this one hallway smells like shit and piss all the time! It makes me wonder if homeless people are sleeping there at night or if the neighbors in that hallway are just THAT BAD!
There are also only like 4 – 5 washers and dryers and people hog them all the time! And half of the dryers are broken and don’t dry your clothes completely so you have to pay even more money to get them dried!
