The apartment is good, especially the price and leasing office. The price is about 700$/month, which is cheap for a 1b1b apartment near UNC. Tien is very nice. She gave me some living goods when I first came here and assisted me in many aspects. It's really a good choice if you want a 1b1b apartment.

Im glad i showed up for the breakfast-on-the-go event; it was a good wake up call. They should have more events like this in the future. It's a great way for me to meet my neighbors and associate more with the staffs. The location of the apartment complex is convenient for me, especially the bus line; and it's quiet here. I would recommend Ridgewood Apartments to anybody!

One of the better managed properties and staff in the area. Very helpful staff in a mixed student long term resident community. Rarely give out 5 stars but this crew earns it!

I had a 3 month sublet at Ridgewood this summer. Even though it was a short stay, but I was very impressed with the kindness and efficiency of the leasing office ladies and management staff. I especially want to thank Tien a lot, who is always ready to help and takes care of my rental issues timely. Apartment itself is a bit old, but has great location and security & management team.

I only stayed there for a few months, but it was a good experience. I worked with Tien in the front office, and she was incredibly professional and kind. The apartments are fairly small, but the location is great. The bus stop that heads into downtown Carrboro and Chapel Hill is right across the street. A Food Lion is a few minutes walk. Overall a very convenient spot.

This place was horrible. Infested with roaches to the point that all our drawers and cabinets were lined with cockroach poop. They would come to spray every 6 weeks or so (which was a pain in and of itself but) but it didn't seem to help anything. The problem is that these buildings are infested and need to be torn down. I spoke with neighbors from other buildings who experienced the same problem. One couldn't even leave a dirty dish in the sink unless you wanted to come back to see a swarm of roaches on it. Ridiculously overpriced for being such a place.

Convenient location, unbeatable price, awesome leasing office staff. The property is well maintained and the renovated units have great appliances. Whenever I've had any maintenance issues (nothing major), they've been prompt to respond. Isvela and Tien are always super friendly and helpful- I look forward to seeing them whenever I get a package in the mail! Some reviews mention crime in the area but, as a single female who lived alone, I never felt unsafe. I always lock my doors but I would do that anywhere. This is a college town and some crime is inevitable. If you're that concerned, look at the apartment crime reports in the area the Carrboro PD website. Chapel Hill PD also has one if you're trying to compare other complexes. The bottom line is that Ridgewood does everything it can to keep the complex safe- and it shows on these reports. Sure, there are occasionally a few bugs after a big rain storm but nothing harmful and nothing nearly as bad as some of the other apartments I've seen in the area. My last apartment was $300 more each month and I had multiple mice as well as roaches in my place there. The only reason I'm leaving is to move into a bigger apartment with my boyfriend. If they had bigger units, I'd want to stay here. Plus, the smaller size of the units is actually amazing for saving on electricity! No apartment complex is perfect but Ridgewood has been the closest I've experienced in the area. I would 100% recommend it to any young professional or grad student looking for their own affordable space to call home.

I have absolutely loved living at Ridgewood! From the moment I walked into my new apartment, I felt at home. Isvela and Tien are the best management team I have ever met! The two of them truly care about you. I've had one VERY minor maintenance issue (my utility closet door came off the track and the track was bent & had to be fixed). The maintenance worker was very sweet and even was friendly to my cat. As for some of the concerns others post about, I have witnessed 3 bugs in the 7 months that I have lived at Ridgewood. Some buildings seem to have different issues. As far as my building there isn't a bug issue and they bring in pest control on a regular basis. I am a bartender and come home late and have never felt unsafe walking to my apartment or even being in my apartment. Crime has never been an issue for me and I'm a single you woman. If I was not moving back to Michigan in the fall, then I would continue to live at Ridgewood. I love it here. I hope this helps you find your new home.

One word: ROACHES. We had to put any and all food in the fridge. Even the flour would have roaches in it. In the morning when I would wake up and turn on the lights, swarms of roaches would scurry away. Pest control didn't help at all. I talked with neighbors and they were having the same experience. Please beware that these people are advertising themselves as LUXURY apartments on craigslist right now. WHAT???? Nastiest apartment I've ever lived in.

The complex management staff are awesome. Isvela and Tien are super friendly and helpful, and really work hard to make the place feel like a community. The location is great, all of my neighbors have been friendly and kind, and I've always felt safe here.

I had rented a residential unit of the Ridgewood Apartments from 30 December 2015 to 29 June 2016. Among all apartments I have rented so far in my life, there is no denying that the professional commitment and managerial skills of Ms. Morataya are most exemplary and praiseworthy. When I was planning to relocate to North Carolina, I had contacted several apartment companies in and around Carrboro. Among all property managers I interacted with, she was most willing to address my concerns and needs. Since I was not acquainted with various legal and financial issues relating to my leasing contract, I required several clarifications about the terms and conditions of the contract. She was very patient with me, and she explained its language cogently and lucidly to me. Having found an understanding, kind and warm manager, I felt very comfortable relocating to a new apartment in a new city. When I entered my apartment for the first time, it was kept neat and clean. It was equipped with all those facilities that I had requested beforehand. Since it was the eve of the New Year, all employees were on leave. But Ms. Morataya still came to the office in order to ensure that I move into my apartment without any inconvenience. She helped me with the paperwork, and she explained the local transportation system to me. Her assistant, Tien, gave me a vegetable tray as a housewarming gift. During my six months long stay, there were very few occasions when some of the facilities in my apartment functioned improperly. When I brought these issues to her notice, she promptly sent technicians to mend them. In this regard, her assistants, Ms. Tien and Mr. Justin Grady, too, were very cooperative and helpful. Together they form a very effective team. It was indeed reassuring to know that they were readily accessible whenever I needed help in the apartment. I suffer from slipped-discs in my spinal cord. Hence, I am unable to lift heavy boxes. On two occasions, the mailman left my box of books near the mailbox that is located on the ground floor. I approached Ms. Morataya to help me move the boxes to my apartment on the second floor. On both occasions, Ms. Morataya and Mr. Grady brought my boxes to the upper floor. They are not officially obligated to help residents carry their baggage, but both of them were immensely kind to help me. In order to promote a greater sense of community in the apartment complex, Ms. Morataya and her team organized a few social events where residents were able to interact and connect with each other. She provided residents with a monthly calendar that highlighted significant dates, reminders, offers and local resources. Our apartments were regularly scrutinized for pest-control. She even made arrangements for additional pest-control measures if someone requested for such an arrangement. The lawns were always kept in order, as they were mowed and cleaned regularly. Towards the end of my stay, I needed the assistance and cooperation of the manager on several fronts. Since I was about to leave the US for an extended stay abroad, I need to get my evacuation paperwork processed promptly so that my security deposit may be returned to me before I left the country. Ms. Morataya was of great help and assistance. She processed all of my paperwork in a very short span of time so that I was able to leave Carrboro without any anxiety about the procurement of my security deposit. No word of gratitude will ever do justice to her kindness and caring nature.

Extreme lack of professionalism. My wife and I had re-located. We had been told that everything would be taken care of within the week. We had read some of the bad reviews in the past, and had decided to ignore them considering the circumstances and what we had read. We stopped looking, because the property manager had indicated that everything would be taken care of within the week. We had waited on a response after submitting our application. We ended up having to call the office to check up on our paperwork. Instead, we were told they weren't able to reach us. However, we had been contacted via email and phone prior. So our phone numbers were on file. We had heard excuse after excuse instead of an "I'll fix it attitude". We had been told they had to also contact our school,work,etc. Even though, this was not clarified at the beginning. We were more than willing to assist still, calling up our employers for them. We did most of the legwork from there, even though they had indicated they would take care of the background and communication. During our wait we had expected some answers, but none were given. Severe lack of communication. I did not get an email, phone call,etc. Although, they had our information on file during the exchange. We were followed by more false statements. To put it simply, neither apartment we checked was suitable for the amenities offered. instead of pointing blame at future tenants, be honest, and reputable. To make it worse, we are now homeless because of the incompetence of this management. Save your time and effort. Don't rent from here.might I add this definitely put a strain on on me being a full time worker as well as a full time student.

Apartment has been infested with roaches for whole year, even after "pest control services". Mold damage due to water leaking in washer. Walls and ceilings are very thin, making things very noisy. Sink has backed up multiple times due to interconnected plumbing system with neighboring apartments. Bathtub does not drain completely. Predatory towing services employed to tow guest cars and charge over $250 in towing fees. Rent is unbelievably high for tiny, low-quality apartments. Bad area of Carrboro with high crime rate. Ridgewood staff show little to no concern for their residents.

a guy followed my girlfriend from her car to the door and only ran off when I came out. multiple times people were hanging out outside and sitting on my car. large, noisy families packed into 2 bedroom apartments. bus stop is loaded with people in the morning, most of whom will try to panhandle from you if you walk by. staff is poor, in my experience it took days for maintenance and the lady at the office was incredibly condescending on more than one occasion. wound up breaking my lease after someone broke into my car. avoid.

Ridgewood is a great single apartment complex. I got the second floor so I didn't have to worry about noise from upstairs. A couple times I was able to hear people from adjacent apartments but for the most part people were respectable and kept noises to a reasonable level. The location is great with a bus stop right across the street, but I have a car so I don't have to worry about that too much. There's a lot of room in the apartment for only one person, and everything has been working fine. I keep my apartment fairly clean and have had no problems with bugs, mice, roaches, or anything like that. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for an affordable single!

Cheap rent, great location, good staff, and puts a roof over your head, but neighbors are quick to call in noise violations due to the thin walls, also because the walls are so thin you basically know every routine of those to your left, right, and above/below you, and their music tastes and television preferences. Gardening noise is very loud as well.
