Scioto Ridge Apartments

This is the most unprofessionally managed complex in northwest Columbus. Constant car break ins that management does nothing about. No security, no gated entry, no nothing. Thank god they added a camera at the dumpster for all the illegal dumping!!! This is the most poorly managed complex I have ever stayed with.

Where do I begin?

I lived at SR for two years.

1. In the first year, my rent increased by 7%.
2. In the second year, it went up another 6%.
3. It took them over 18 months to address the issue of the residents above me constantly smoking weed, which was seeping into my son's bedroom.
4. The community does not have 24/7 video surveillance; cameras are only installed at the pool and trash compactor areas.
5. The complex is notorious for break-ins.
6. There are hardly any amenities for the price,... other than a small pool that fits only 5-6 swimmers, despite having nearly 200 units.
7. The only positive was the maintenance team, who were prompt in addressing issues.
8. The complex is located at Riverside/Hayden Run, where the north/southbound lanes merge from two lanes into one. This leads to cars and motorcycles speeding past each other, causing loud noise at all hours of the night.
9. There's a fire station nearby on Hayden Run that frequently uses Riverside Dr. for calls, adding to the noise 2-3 times a day.
10. Now, they are trying to charge me $50 for a dollar bill size "bleach stain" on the carpet, even though I made an effort to be a good tenant. When I moved in, the carpet smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned, so I rented a steam cleaner and cleaned it myself. By the way, I never used bleach as my son has eczema so I avoided it on clothes/bedding/towels. If it was bleach, it wouldn't have been able to been "steam cleaned".
11. The gate to gain access is nothing but a bothersome. It doesn't provide any value or protection and breaks 50% of the time especially in the winter.
12. The traffic on Riverside is horrendous/loud during rush hour.

I would avoid this complex at all costs. There are plenty of better options at the same price point that offer far more amenities and better quality of living. Read More

We were looking to move here in July, but their waitlist was already full. The management staff was very kind and were quick to respond to my inquiries via email. I know if we would have been able to move in, we would have loved it here! Make sure that you reach out months in advance because they are a hot commodity! A great location and great price point!

Stayed there for almost 2 years. Beautiful apartments, great price and most importanty the best management and staff.

Peggy the property manager at Scioto Ridge is very professional and made us feel very welcome. I look forward to stay at the apartments and we already felt very welcome even before moving in.
Thank you so much Peggy for everything.
