Maybe the original Ridgecrest Apartments are livable. But the Ridgecrest II - formerly La Colina apartments - are completely unlivable.
We stayed there 5 years but were treated like crap. Here are some of the highlights:
***The roof collapsed with water THREE TIMES.***
- All 3 times, management took up to 2 weeks to fix it. During those 2 weeks, we had to put all of our furniture into one of the bedrooms. We were down 2 rooms, and only had the kitchen and second bedroom to live in.
...Management refused any kind of rent reduction since we were paying for half a place we couldn't use.
- When maintenance were not willing to come out to fix it, we bought our own disposable dam to soak up the water and minimize the damage to the floor. Maintenance came and threw it out into the rain, where it expanded to be completely useless. Management refused to repay for our property that Maintenance wasted.
***Maintenance took down the fence between us and the office complex***
- it took 2 months to replace the fence
- during that time, there were PILES and PILES of old, disgusting trash along the grass and over the sidewalk.
- I had to call three times to get maintenance to pick this up. We lived in trash for 10 days.
***Roofers left construction tools out***
- broken boards, rugs, tools, and nails everywhere
- My husband stepped on a nail and it went through his shoe. Guess if Management paid for the doctor bill?
- My toddler could literally not even go outside without being carried at all times.
***THE GOO***
- There was a slick oily goo that oozed out from behind the office complex, and stayed in a permanently wet gooey splotch over the sidewalk.
- Management said it was the office buildings' and so it was there responsibility.
- a week after I gave birth, I slipped and almost fell while holding my newborn son
- I tried multiple times to place cardboard or wooden slats over the spill so I could cross safely. Each time, it was picked up by maintenance within a day.
- I called multiple times about this issue. After 3 years of calling, they placed a little black border around the sidewalk.
