Timber Ridge

This place and the area are a joke for what they're asking. Rent seems to go up about $100 a year, as well. Walls and floors above you (if you're on the first floor) may as well be made out of paper. I could hear the person talking at a normal volume upstairs, and I could make out what they were saying while I lied in my bed. Ridiculous.

Want bugs to be a problem in your apartment outside of winter? They get bad here, and the apartment seemingly doesn't do any pest control and doesn't care when… you tell them. The door to your apartment from the hallway isn't sealed, so the bugs walk right in when people come and go outside, especially if you're located right next to the entrance on the first floor. We were killing bugs daily, spiders included, every spring until winter.

Windows are cheap and also don't seal well, so there's a draft and bad condensation that pools up on the window/ledge during the winter. There also isn't an option for a door mat if you get unlucky and get a unit that hasn't been updated with hardwood floors throughout (besides the rooms). The door drags across the carpet, which you enter directly on and with no way around. No mat or anything will fit/work. So, prepare to have no option but to dirty your carpet up upon entry. Especially with the lack of ice treatment they do and/or how long it takes them to respond to properly clearing snow sometimes, if they even do it right.

I'm also pretty sure you share a hot water heater with at least one other unit (upstairs), and it was constant that we fought to have a hot shower that stayed hot. There were many times I had no choice but to have a luke warm shower. Absolutely asinine for the price you charge.

Storage? What storage? There isn't even a linen or a coat/utility closet, or storage at all for that matter on the first floor 2 bed 1 bath unit. You get the little closet the washer and dryer sit in with one rack and one shelf. That's it outside of the two bedroom closets, which of course you're supposed to use for clothes.

You're doing yourself a disservice and getting ripped off big time if you choose to live here. I would avoid Timber Ridge/SCS like the plague if you know what's good for you. They don't even replace light bulbs, which is almost always included in your rent elsewhere. That's supposed to be one of the benefits to renting. Light bulbs fall under wear and tear, and general maintenance. Read More
