Like the others, I regret moving to Forest Ridge. Let me first start with the incompetent workers in the office. There is new ""management"" in the office every 6 months or so, none by the way are capable of running an office (obviously from always being replaced). They have lost my rent and served me with an eviction notice. Thank goodness I keep ALL my receipts!!! They have also lost my lease telling me I needed to renew my lease, which I had done already but being that there is always new ""management"" it was obviously lost. Also don't call the office thinking you are going to get someone. I always had to go in and talk to someone. When I would walk in they would be on the phone, clearly with a friend because of the sudden ""Hold on"", not in a professional manner either. The office is never open during the times it says on the door. I think they (office workers) make up their own hours. \r

Now for the condition of the townhomes...VERY outdated!!! I think I had the first electric stove and dishwasher invented!!! the foundation is uneven. My food would never cook evenly because the stove is slanted. My home frequently flooded whenever there was a heavy rainfall. The doors to all the rooms are flimsy, always getting caught on the carpet and tearing apart. When I first moved I was highly upset I had to clean the home myself...disgusting!!! I was also upset about the poor paint job in ALL the rooms. They clearly only painted over the holes in the walls which gave it a lumpy look. \r

Maintenance...Or should I say they just found people off the street and gave them a cheap tool belt?!!?!??! First you have to call several times before anyone ever comes to fix anything and when they do finally come they are not capable of fixing anything!!\r
\r
If you do not like children, DO NOT move here!! Children are every where!! Always playing in the street...they are just all of the place. Some whom are very disrespectful and bullies. \r
\r
The doors to the home do not close properly...almost as if they do not fit the frames. \r
\r
The pool is NEVER clean! One time the entire pool turned black!! Yes...BLACK!!! They did not change the water, only poured something in it and that was all & I do not recall seeing them cleaning the pool, ever. \r
\r
I read all the reviews and thought maybe everyone was being dramatic and I would give Forest Ridge a try. Wish I wouldn't have!! \r
\r
The only plus is the elementary school, Orchard Park Elementary, which is rated one of the best schools in SC. \r
\r
Also if you do decide to move in, you will see people moving out monthly!! I cannot wait until my lease is up and I am able to move out!! I give Forest Ridge zero stars! If you wouldn't mind living in the projects in NYC, this is the place for you!!
