We lived at OakRidge Apartments for a year. The area is wonderful, parking is great and apartments are spacious and had all the amenities we were looking for. ***HOWEVER*** S&S Property Management (formerly known as Shea Property Management), Chuck Sellers in particular, is the worst company you could ever rent from!!! Their properties are decent but dealing with them is just not worth the hassle. I have rented for 15 years and NEVER had any problems like the ones we've had here. I literally could write a book, so I'll keep it brief by saying:
* the apartments have the cheapest of everything (appliances, cabinetry, etc)
* maintenance requests will likely be ignored
* walls may not be painted between tenants, carpets may not be cleaned (or replaced when worn out) and the apartment may not be ""move-in condition"" clean -- even if the one you viewed prior to signing a lease was (aka, bait and switch)
* if you cross Chuck Sellers in any way, such as calling him out on being a disrespectful -------, your lease will be non-renewed
* if you wish to speak to Chuck Sellers directly, it won't ever happen, he will not speak directly to his tenants
* the office staff is unresponsive, unbelievably rude and exceptionally unprofessional
* the office staff will give misinformation and then Chuck Sellers will hold the tenant liable for not properly complying with their unstated directions
Do a search of Chuck Sellers and S&S Property and read all the reviews before considering moving into anything managed by them. We've had wonderful neighbors here - they, along with friends who have rented from Chuck Sellers, have all had similar experiences. The other reviews are spot-on too -- HEED THE WARNINGS!!!
