DO NOT LIVE HERE. YOU WILL REGRET IT INSTANTLY.
Seriously the worst. When we arrived on move in day, the unit was filthy. They didn't even try to clean it. There was food in our microwave, hair all over the floors and bathroom, and there crumbs all over the kitchen. The units are poorly constructed and not well maintained. I have to call maintenance at least once a week to fix something. Our oven broke so they said they would replace it, and they just gave us a different old, outdated oven. The walls are covered in nail holes which they charge you a $250 redecorating fee so they can repair nail holes.
They advertise that they have the fastest internet. It is extremely slow and often randomly disconnects for sometimes upwards of 30 minutes. Extremely inconvenient and unreliable.
They show you a unit that has all updated appliances and TELL you that every unit has brand new updated appliances. This is a complete lie. Our appliances are all old and broken. When we moved in, Our fridge and freezer didn't have any of the door shelves, we had problems with our super old oven, the stove top was uneven so everything slides to one side of the pan, some of the burners on our stove didn't even heat up, and we had to have our thermostat replaced TWICE in one month. Not to mention, our smoke alarms didn't work. They're supposed to replace the locks on the doors when a tenant moves out. The lock on our front door was so old that it broke and we couldn't get into our apartment. They tried to charge us for calling maintenance after hours so we could get into our apartment.
They have a raccoon problem and don't provide you with trash cans. So, you have to put your trash bags in the grass. When raccoons got into our trash, they tried to charge us $25 for "throwing grabage in our yard."
They charge you $500 per pet that you have in your apartment. When I asked them why it was so much, they said it was the cost to clean the carpets after we moved out. As I mentioned earlier, they didn't even bother to vaccuum the carpets before we moved in, let alone clean them.
Do yourself a giant favor, and stay as far away from Bengal Ridge and Brookside as you can. Don't walk, RUN.
