August 6, 2021Poor management, terrible parking, staff simply doesn't care. if you don't like something and you bring it up, the answer is, if you don't like it, move out!!!!!Review from Apartments.com

April 21, 2021My experience with Ridgecrest has been an absolute DREAM since the beginning. Emma and the leasing team took great care of me and made the application and move-in process extremely easy and safe. All details were explained to me, my unit was clean upon move-in, my parking was closely and identified to me, and I was given a tour of the entire property. I really couldn't ask for more. In terms of the day-to-day living, I LOVE IT! I look forward to going home each day and enjoying my beautiful ...apartment and the serene grounds that Ridgecrest has to offer. My neighbors are quiet but friendly and I don't ever worry about any of my things going missing or car getting broken into; not exactly the case at some other properties that I've lived at. Ultimately, I'd say that I've found a home at Ridgecrest, and I'd gladly recommend it to anyone in the market for a beautiful and peaceful living experience.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
