Review for Evergreen Ridge Apartments

The office staff was hot and cold. Some days very nice, other days mean and hateful.

Noise is horrible here. I could here my upstairs neighbor snoring--and goodness knows what they could hear me do! The floors are thin between the upstairs and down, so no matter how soft the neighbors upstairs walk, you will always hear them. Next door neighbors though, I could hardly ever hear. Side to side the units are not too bad for noise. There are a lot of party/stay up late and yell obscenities sort of people that live here amongst the trying to get by people and only after 3 unanswered messages and then finally confronting the management team was I told that noise complaints were not to be directed to the office or the security company that patrols the complex, but to the police.

Parking is hard to come by. You do get a garage, close to your unit, but if you have more than one vehicle per unit...be aware! The walk to your car is going to be up hill and far away.

Garbage dumpster was keyed--totally reasonable for an apartment complex, but the lock would always stick and rarely would you be able to actually put the trash in the dumpster. Don't leave trash NEAR the dumpster when the lock is broken though because the staff will go through the garbage to return it to you and to lecture you--even if you called maintenance to report the lock being broken.

They will however answer maintenance requests within 3 days or sooner.

The ground floor unit I had was equipped with a porch/balcony that was small enough to fit possibly two chairs on and had a 2 foot drop off, protected by nothing and had no steps down from the porch to the mud hill back yard. Needless to say, I did not use the porch.

The appeal to the apartments:
Apartments have washer and dryer in each unit. Dishwasher and garbage disposal. Close to freeway and bus access. Close to stores, restaurants, and activities. Inside the Vancouver school district. Low rent for lots of square footage (which is mostly closet space, not living space).
