Add on Charges
February 8, 2026 - Review from Apartments.com*Be careful with all the additional charges. They charge $40 monthly for EACH pet plus a $300 pet deposit for EACH pet. I have never had to pay monthly pet rent before or pay an additional pet deposit for each pet either. They charge $25 monthly for the first car and even more for the second car. I have never had to pay a monthly fee to park my cars at an apartment I am renting before. You are responsible for paying for your own apartment energy which is expected but they also charge you monthly ...for water, sewer, trash, common area electricity, common area gas and for public service and this is something that I have never had to pay for at a rental either. I also get charged a “service fee” every month for over $45 for using a credit card to pay the rent and the extra charges. It is a nice place to live if you can afford the rent and all the add on charges but you do have to watch out for the dog poo in the grassy areas. The mailboxes for packages was broken into well over a month ago and sadly the broken locks still have not been repaired. Our unit does not have air conditioning and the inside of our apartment hit 90 degrees on these hot summer days, we were roasting and it was awful. I am not sure that any of these units have air conditioning so you may want to verify what your unit actually has before getting a nasty surprise. The last thing to note is the pool was closed randomly on many of the hot summer days, I am not really sure why it kept closing so often but what a bummer to have a pool and have it closed so often during the summer. The pool is not open year round. To make matters worse, my wife can hear “noises” from the neighbors. Now everything is ruined and we won’t be staying much longer :(Read More
Worst Management Ever.
June 6, 2025 - Review from Apartments.comZero accountability. After providing the required documentation/evidence, they denied it and stole my money. Doesn't respond to emails or calls unless its convenient for them.
Good location, poorly managed
November 25, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comI moved into an apartment with many issues already, and some still unresolved. The management will take a long time to get back to you on anything, will not respond to maintenance requests and the maintenance staff is very unprofessional. I've put in numerous maintenance requests with multiple issues and they would come and do one thing and leave without resolving the other issues or communicating anything to me. They always leave a huge mess behind, including one time finding one of my towels ...had been used for something and then thrown into my washer covered in bark dust (as in LOTS of bark dust) so that I had to clean it all out by hand because it was too big to fit through the holes in the washer. No one ever bothered to apologize or say anything about this when I complained. One day I was having my sink worked on because I had low water pressure, and then I came home to find my garbage disposal sitting on my kitchen table, again with no explanation. When I moved in they would not allow me to bring my own washer and dryer, but assured me the once I was getting were newer. These are clearly at least 20 years old and do not work well. My dishwasher has melted parts in it and they have looked at it and done nothing. I asked them to tell me if it was safe to use and have no idea if they ever even looked at it. One of my heaters does not work, after two work orders I'm giving up on that one. The carpet is old and stained, the ceiling fan was broken when I moved in and took a month to get it working, my bathroom towel rack was promised to be replaced but has never been and is broken and has sharp jagged edges. Needless to say, if your apartment needs anything, and it will because its old, you will not get it in a timely manor, if at all, and will probably have to clean up after if it is fixed. I would not recommend this place for the price you can get a much nicer apartment in Salem. The only good thing about it is that its right next to Minto Brown Park.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Don't do it!
October 11, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comI really wanted to like the place...but...after living here for just over 3 months, I have the following to say as a warning to those considering the place: Choose a sunny location to avoid black mold and damp carpets and walls. This will bring up your cooling costs in the summer, but those 1978 single pane windows and uninsulated walls will do NOTHING to keep out the damp! Keep your dog away from the approved "potty areas" because very few people pick up after their pooch and management does ...nothing to alleviate the issue. My dog had to go through three rounds of medication to get rid of the giardia he picked up there. The only way we were able to bring the numbers into the normal range was to stop visiting the potty areas. Be prepared to choke on smoke! There is no smoking allowed in the apartments, or on the grounds - supposedly - but each and every day featured a steady stream of smokers lighting up at the top of the driveway, right behind our living room! The plumbing is ancient, the toilets small, the cupboards dinky, the appliances are original to 1978 and should have been scrapped long ago and the electrical outlets nearly non-existent! The manager was pleasant and had an open-door policy, the office staff was polite. After three months, we left the place cleaner than it had been when we took possession, we used 3M Command Strips for all wall hangings, there were no bugs, and I steam-cleaned the entire carpet on my way out the door, however, here are the charges I was presented with on my Move Out Statement: Painting $65 Cleaning $190 Carpet Cleaning $70 Blind/Window Covering Cleaning $42 Extermination!? $75 That's over $440! When I moved out of my apartment that I'd been living in for three years in Fresno, CA - they refunded me every penny of my deposits! Run away from Forest Ridge Apartments - you've been warned!Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Mold in multiple apartment!
May 15, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comAfter having severe respiratory issues where I had to go to the hospital we found that we had mold growing in our apartment. Under the bubbles I was assured were paint in the bathroom. Also found it growing through the carpet. We had asked multiple times to have our window seal cleaned because of mold. They came once and it grew back. They never came again to clean it after multiple attempts of reporting it. After moving out we were charge bogus fees for maitntance that was not needed. Like $203 ...for the cabinets that were fine before we left. DO NOT MOVE HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BECOME SICK FROM BLACK MOLD AND CHARGED FOR THINGS YOU DIDN'T DO.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Great Location Great Staff At The Right Price
April 3, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comMy wife and I moved to forest ridge from southern California sight unseen. Doreen and her staff were fantastic and understood what we wanted and our anxiety about relocating to a new city. We were very pleased with the apartment upon arrival it was just as described neat and clean with full size washer and dryer and a nice floor plan and we love the the location. Located in a nice wooded hillside in south Salem, walking distance to Minto Brown park, the Willamette river and the Salem Golf Club is ...only 5 minutes away. It is far enough from the city to have that country feel yet downtown is less than ten minutes away. The entire staff including the maintenance team have been great and easy to work with and did I mention the price is well under market (it is) the only reason were leaving is because we bought a house in the area the management even made our lease break a very fair and painless process.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Wondeful Staff, Beautiful Property, Reasonable Rent
January 30, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comThe staff at Forest Ridge is wonderful. It's easy to see they truly care about the property and the residents. The property itself is a beautiful hillside setting. Easy to get to and from and right across the street from Minto Brown Park. The rents are very reasonable, I found them to be under the average in the area in fact. I would definitely recommend Forest Ridge Apartments to friends and family.Property Manager Responded

Forest Ridge Apartments
January 6, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comIn my three years residency at Forest Ridge I have nothing but praise for the management. The office personnel are friendly and efficient and take care of valid complaints quickly. The maintenance crew are excellent; they're trustworthy, leave my apartment clean and in good repair. I've been doubly fortunate in having good neighbors as well who tend to watch out for each other. I had one serious situation that was nature-related and could not believe the amount of time and resources that were ...poured into correcting it to my satisfaction.Read MoreProperty Manager Responded

Home Sweet Home
January 6, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comForest Ridge is the perfect place to call home. The staff is prompt, courteous and professional. My townhouse is warm and cozy. I haven't had the need for any maintenance, my place was move in ready. The grounds are quiet, clean and pet friendly. Prime location and nestled atop a hill it feels like I'm away from the hustle and bustle but just minutes away from everything my family needs. Thank you, Forest Ridge. I know I made a wise choice moving here!Property Manager Responded

January 5, 2018 - Review from Apartments.comWe moved to Forest Ridge 5 months ago, from out of state. The office worked so well with us to help move in go smoothly. We love the secluded neighborhood, and the well maintained landscape of the property. The apartment is comfortable and fits all our needs. Whenever we've had a maintain issue, is been promptly handled. We would certainly recommend Forest Ridge.Property Manager Responded

December 5, 2017 - Review from Apartments.comFrom move in, all the way through our residency so far, Forest Ridge has been wonderful! The ladies in the office are awesome and the grounds are just beautiful! if we ever have a problem maintenance is always prompt and able to fix the issue. Even late at night! If you want an apartment that feels like a home, like you are taken care of... This is where you want to be. They have far exceeded our expectations!Property Manager Responded

Based on How I was treated... SAY NO TO LIVING HERE!
April 28, 2016 - Review from Apartments.comDON'T DO IT!!!!! We thought all was well when we moved in, we thought the ladies who worked at the front were nice, the facilities, etc. Well we were wrong. We were put in an apartment that you have to go down to, so the front wall and the side wall were technically underground. Well this caused our bedroom to grow MOLD. We had damp carpet which ended up ruining our mattress (yes we are cheap and put it on the ground but it has never been a problem for the past 5 years I have done it). We also ...lost about $1000 worth of our possessions in our closet because they were growing fur like mold. The walls and crown molding had it on it. When I went to confront the managers they said "you must have sweat through your mattress" (to make the entire floor damp and grown pink, green, and black mold...I don't think so!) and "your sweaty shoes caused it to grow." They refuse to take ownership that their walls and floors caused it. Talking with a construction friend they mentioned that concrete can saturate itself with ground water and once it is in there it wont get out. All they did was clean the carpets and "treat" the walls affected. Well guess what the mold is back in the closet and we haven't put a single thing back in there. But it was our fault... We have also found mold in the storage closet across the apartment that is again against a wall that is underground. Not impressed with how they handled this situation. Based on how they treated us through this... I would NEVER recommend this apartment to ANYONE!!!!!!!!!Read MoreProperty Manager Responded
