Wind River Lodge

You can definitely find better apartments for the same price. I moved in last September and I am I so excited to be MOVING OUT.
The Good
~The location is very nice. You are across the street from a park, Aldi and Sprouts are nearby and the apartments are located right next to the highway. There is an elementary school less than ½ a mile away
~Maintenance responds rather quickly
~It is a pretty safe area
The Bad
Everything in these apartments are cheap. The kitchen cabinets break apart, the blinds break when simply pulling on the string, the closet doors are always off track, etc. And if you have a «renovated «kitchen you can’t use the counter tops because they are coated with some cheap acrylic and any use of it will peel it away. The windows need to be resealed — during winter you will feel cold air coming and if you live in the back by the highway you will hear every single car passing by. The tennis courts and the «make-​shift» basketball court all need work.
The lay out of the apartment is weird. The rooms are not as big as you may think looking at the layout.
Maintenance is quick to respond to request — but all they do is «bandage» the situation. For example this past summer I called them 8 –10 times about my AC not working. The AC would run but it would not cool down the apartment (which left me with a Electric bill of $ 181 for the month of July and $ 160 for the month of August — My usual bill is about $ 75). Instead of calling in an expert to take a look at it – a maintenance worker would come and «fix» it… yet the AC still would not work. We called repeatedly because the AC wasn’t working.
Privacy was an issue for me because they were in my apartment quite often without my consent — and it was always for something trivial. Or even better, for example, they would notify me on Sunday night that they were coming in early Monday morning. They also never notified tenants when they would do repairs, you would just hear construction outside your apartment and realize they were re-​doing something out there. Or you would go to the laundry facility and realize none of the machines were working
Parking is pretty bad, and by pretty bad I mean horrible. There is rarely in space to park — so unfortunately many tenants will park on the street. Making an already narrow street, even smaller.
The Ugly
The Office staff is quite rude. Prior to signing my lease they were okay, and I don’t know what happen afterwards but they are not the nicest. Whenever I call I just request to speak to the supervisor/​property manager.
You can definitely find nicer apartments in the same price range that offers a lot more than these apt complexes do. I would not recommend these apartments (or any Price Brothers property actually)

DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!
Adding to the one review below (all of which I agree with) this complex is a nightmare. Price Brothers and WRL Management insist that we had pet damages to our apartment when we moved out and we NEVER had a pet while living there! An animal never set foot in our apartment the entire time we lived there.
They want us to pay $ 300 for flea damage and pet urine stains (not to mention they kept our whole security deposit) — but we never had a pet. How can they charge for animal damages and not listen to their residents if they say they didn’t have a pet?!
We have had our neighbors call Price Brothers vouching for us and telling them we didn’t have a pet, we have 2 written statements from our neighbors saying we didn’t have a pet, and they will not call us back to resolve this. (Friends of our who lived there are having these same issues with the complex!)
Now 2 years later, they send us to a debt collector for the money. It is so ridiculous.
And FLEA damage?! I don’t even want to know how that got there!
The bugs are awful, it is crawling with critters!
Several times my fan in the bathroom ceiling started pouring water like it was raining inside and they knocked a ton of huge holes in the ceiling and just spackled over them!
People at the pool sit around and yell and curse, so don’t try to bring children there!
I would’ve rated this place a 0 if that was an option… I guess it can have the one star for having a good location.

I have only lived here two months but it REALLY feels like a home. The staff are always quick to respond to any call and are very courteous. I plan on staying here until I buy a house someday. Too sum it up. .I Love it here!

Don’t let the 2 star rating fool you. I would NEVER return to living at this complex, even if someone ELSE paid the rent! My husband and I have lived at this apartment community for 2 years, and our lease expires the end of December. We can’t wait to leave and move into our new apartment. It almost seems like we’re about to get out of jail!
We have had so many issues, with staff, bugs, poorly maintained buildings, cruddy appliances that fall apart, poorly functioning (and often breaking down completely) heat & A/​C units, not to mention ongoing «nasty-​grams» from the office either put on everyone’s door or included in the monthly «newsletter» — AKA: Firewood starter for camping.
In an effort to keep this review semi-​short (if that’s even possible), a few examples of problems we have encountered:
* Bugs, bugs, bugs. We spray twice a month with our own Ortho Home Defense spray, because we have little children, and there is always a season for one bug or another. It starts with spiders, then it’s beetles, then ladybugs, and onto crickets, june bugs, and lovely termites swarming from the hot water heater closet!
* Where’s the heat? How about the Air Conditioning? In two years, we have had our a/​c replaced twice and repaired (freon added and a major fix) two other times. We have had the heating system repaired 5 times. All of which required the system to be shut off.
Once we had a flood in my children’s room from the a/​c upstairs breaking down and leaking water down into our unit directly below it. Maintenance took 4 days to figure out it was the upstairs apt and another 2 days to repair it. During that time, the carpet in that room was drenched, and mold became a problem. YET, the office refused to do anything because they said the maintenance man looked and said there was no mold. (I am allergic to mold, and I was sick the whole time, so he was full of you-​know-​what.) They finally replaced the pad and carpet after I called and griped out the office, sent an email to the complex owner, and threatened to move and file a complaint, which brought the manager over to look at it. She blamed it on poor maintenance, apologized profusely, but was clearly only covering her butt.
We had a folding lawn chair on our patio, and a small stainless steel trash can with a step-​on-​lid-​to-​open feature, which we used as a diaper receptacle. (We HAD it in the apartment, but any parent knows, it doesn’t matter what diaper pail you buy or what you spray, sprinkle, or seal to try to keep the smell under control, it’s a useless effort after a short time.)
The trash can was in the corner of the patio, and not out in full view, as the lawn chair was in front of it. We were given a letter from the office stating no resident is allowed to put ANYTHING (yes, anything) on their patio. «As a privelage residents are permitted to put outdoor furniture» but even that must be of acceptable condtion and quality to be acceptable. Are they kidding? We were given 2 days to remove the trash can or eviction procedures would be started.
We removed the trash can (threw it away) and after 2 weeks, bought another trash can, smaller in size. We figured if they want to make a stink about it again, let them evict us. We’re out of here the end of December anyway. We haven’t heard a word about the new «diaper pail», so evidently the Patio Police haven’t been around to our building lately.
All in all, this place totally stinks. Yes, it’s cheap. But you get what you pay for, and even that isn’t very secure or reassuring. And don’t believe the condition based on the apartment they show you. It’s all fixed up as a showplace, but the real deal is nearly a dump compared to the model. If for some reason, you are a glutton for punishment and are considering this place, visit
and do a bit of reading. You may just decide to look elsewhere.
