Chapel Ridge

I lived in Chapel Ridge for 2 years as a graduate student (with 2 roommates, also graduate students). The apartment was dark and extremely dirty when we moved in – some of the furniture was broken when we moved in and stayed broken until we moved out. I found the community to be generally unsafe, some of our neighbors were clearly involved in criminal activity openly in the complex, and I witnessed an individual get arrested at the gym when I was working out on a Friday afternoon (after watching several other individuals flee from the police on foot. One of my roommates was in the gym, and a man followed her home and frightened her enough that she went to the front desk to ask for help, and they told her that he had scared a lot of other residents… she had to go to the police.
People drove recklessly in the parking lot, my roommate’s car was swiped by another resident coming around the corner, and my car was keyed one Saturday night ($ 600+ worth of damage). I moved out this summer, and my roommates and I were told we had no move-​out charges, then four months later we each received a bill from a debt collection agency for «clean up fees». In their defense, the management has changed since then, and the new management waved the faulty charges – but we are still having to spend time trying to get the debt taken off our housing records. The new manager seems friendly, but the undergraduate students at the front desk are generally completely unhelpful.

Generally good! But hopefully improve the service efficiency. Like I said before, when i go out I find a lot of dog dirt on the grass and nobody clean them. I mean people who own dogs should take care of their dogs dirt, but should be cleaned soon.

I lived in Chapel Ridge from 2004 – 2005, and it was an okay experience. It is a complex meant for college students, so of course it’s loud, hard to get a chair at the pool, and messy on the weekends. Parking was a constant bother. We had parking permits and I saw tons of cars get towed, and I still couldn’t find a spot late at night. I’ve heard that they opened a side road for parking the year after I moved, so maybe that alleviated the problem. On the positive side, most of the office staff members were friendly and fairly quick to recognize residents. My apartment was furnished, so it was nice to not have to scramble to find furniture for my first apartment. Chapel Ridge is a sister complex of neighboring Chapel View, so residents can use the facilities of both communities.
