I would have to agree with everyone's comments that the staff is nosey. Last halloween, one of the ladies in the rental office who also lives in one of the townhouses, proceeded to peek her head and look around inside my home after she had brought her child trick-or-treating at my door. Completely uneccessary and extremely rude....I must say though, one of the staff members in the office has always been very nice to me. She is really one of the only reasons I choose to stay living at Forest Ridge. Although I appreciate the fact that they have hired security for the neighborhood, I very much dislike one of the security guards they have on staff. He lives in the neighborhood and feels that he must be nosey, even when he is not on duty. I do not want to go into details, but his misjudgement on a TRULY harmless situation, has made a life changing impact on my family's life. The heating bills in my townhome are absolutely outrageous in the winter. The basement was partially finished by the previous tennant. I can assure you the Electrical Safety Authority would have something to say about the electrical changes made by the unqualified tennant. I do not use the lights in the basement for this reason. Only to load my washing machine and then I turn the light off when I am done. In a nutshell, I would not recommend this place to others. Then again...it's an affordable rental...so you get what you pay for I suppose. I do not recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

I lived there for 2 years, and I am sick of people who are saying how great this place is when they have lived there for many years. The people who lived there that long are usually over 50 and/or retired. We were in a townhouse with neighbors who had been there that long and they were a real pain in the ass, their son drove around a very loud RC car at least 2 hours every weekend. The same neighbors took plants out of my garden without even asking. Then paying 700 bucks every two months in the winter for not even keeping our house warm was so stupid, windows and doors freezing shut most the winter is not kosher either. Also the nosy admins who looked into our place through the mail slot, they thought we didn't know but our mail slot would creak open and I would see them walking down the hall away when they saw I was there. All of the previous post said they cleared away the snow that year, they didn't till at least 10 am when some people had to be at work for 8, also they cleared away less and less snow as the winter went on, by the end there was just enough space for 1 car let alone 2 cars and parking. We also lived in a apt there before and we had a non working intercom the entire time, and we put into have it fixed and they "couldn't" because "all of the intercoms are connected and all the rest work and we can't pull out all the wiring if it is only yours that doesn't work". Also the fact that if you needed any paperwork from the office it took a week because the accountant only came in once a week. GRRRRR this place made us so angry, we were so glad to leave that black hole of horribleness

Hello , I have been one of Forest Ridge's tenants living in Rockway Cres since August 2000. I would like to share my experience living here for almost ten years. It has been an absolute pleasure and honestly can't think of one negative when it comes to living in Forest Ridge. The office and maintenance staff are fantastic and have always been extremely pleasant to me and my family. Forest Ridge goes out of their way to make this community a fun,safe and happy place to live. There is a nice sized lifeguarded outdoor pool in the summer. They have a Christmas Lights competition in the winter as well as the most beautiful garden contest in the summer, both for cash prizes. they have events like fundraising bingo and this year Forest Ridge's first annual Canada day bash with a whole day of events for all family members ending with an amazing and incredible fireworks display at night. The few times in almost ten years work was needed in our unit the office had workers there sometimes in minutes or hours and fixed the problem extremely fast. The community superintendant is incredibly kind,friendly, helpful and very skilled, the ladies in the office have always been sweet, helpful and friendly. I really enjoy living here and would highly recommend living in Forest Ridge to everyone and anyone. Thanks for reading =) I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |
