Skyler Ridge Apartments

I've been a long term resident and this place has gone really downhill. It was great when we first moved in years ago, the prices were reasonable, maintenance was attentive and nice, the grounds were upkept nicely etc. My main reason for this review and why I'll be moving out is the rent increases have gotten insane. This year the rent increased by 14%, more than DOUBLE it's ever been increased and I've lived here for nearly a decade. The apartments down the street raised the rent 30 dollars a… month this year, here it's been raised 5 times as much. They used to even have discounts for those who resigned their lease early but not anymore as it's pretty clear they don't care about their long term residents. On move in, the maintenance guys were great, but these days they rotate out so often you'll never recognize any of them. If something is broken they'll come out to fix it multiple times and the issue is still never solved. I haven't been able to use my dishwasher for a few years now and it's been "fixed" multiple times. When there was a major water leak coming from the washing machine wall over the holidays after I had come home from work, the main maintenance guy was extremely rude, I was told the leak was somehow my fault (later found out it was coming from an apartment above) and when I requested a shop vac for the standing water in my kitchen I was sarcastically met with "What, you don't have towels?". The list of incidents like this goes on. There's no communication from management when your water will be shut off for maintenance, there's been multiple instances of coming home from work and having either no hot water or no running water at all. My apartment is falling apart from the inside out with all the wear and tear (which I'm sure I'll be nickel and dimed for) and they've never made a single improvement despite raising the rent every year. If I'm honest I really didn't want to move, but I've been priced out. I absolutely loved this place when I first moved in, but maybe management or ownership of the complex has changed to value money over quality. I wrote this review because I know how hard it is looking for a new home, I know because now I'm doing it too, and I want potential renters of this complex to be well informed before making that decision. I would highly advise to look elsewhere. Read More
