Hawks Ridge

"I am paying about $830 every month and that is a lot for what I'm getting. The rooms are nothing like what they show you during the tour. When I first moved into the apartment, the AC was broken. There was also an uncomfortable smell in the apartment. My roommate and I requested maintenance and they said it was because of the trash even though we take out the trash daily. I'm not sure how it was the trash if the smell was already there when I moved in. The walls are super thin. I can hear my neighbors talking and singing almost every night (I don't mind weekends, but it's during the weekdays too). My upstairs neighbors are always stomping and it continues throughout the night. I emailed Hawks Ridge and they said they contacted my neighbors, but nothing changed. As a student living apartment, problems like this should be addressed. Many people including myself have classes early in the morning and can't sleep at night because of all the stomping, talking, and singing. The shuttle system is also horrible. They take a break twice a day, 30 minutes each break, or that's how it's supposed to be. Sometimes they would take 45 minutes or an hour. Some people would rather drive to class or even walk to class because of the unreliable shuttle. The shuttle driver is also very distracted and an unsafe driver. He is always on his phone texting, watching videos, and calling someone. There have been countless incidents where things could've ended badly. Because he is always on his phone, he always slams on his breaks due to his late reaction. Oh the best part yet, can't forget about the countless painful bug bites! I do not recommend living here, take your money somewhere else!"

"The actual apartment is pretty nice, obviously with normal wear and tear because tons of people have lived here before me. When I did have problems that needed fixed, maintenance came around very quickly and all of them were super friendly. A couple things that could be better are the gym and the shuttle system. The gym (not including the basketball court) has no natural light and is kinda dirty. The stairway down to the gym always has trash scattered over it. The whole deal makes working out a lot less inviting. The shuttle system has been improved from last year, but it is still not the most reliable. Considering that Hawk’s Ridge is not located on campus, I think a more reliable shuttle system, maybe with two shuttles that run simultaneously, would be very beneficial to students living here. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience here so far, but improvements can always be made."

"I am so glad I chose to move to Hawks Ridge. The location is great, 5 minutes from down town, 15 from the mall, with grocery stores and fast food walking distance away. The community here is amazing, and the people are great! It quickly felt like home. The apartment itself is nice, with lots of natural light. There is some wear and tear, but nothing majorly inconvenient. The staff is so welcoming and helpful; responding quickly and with care. The amenities are very convenient and nice, but could use a little updating. Hawks Ridge also feels very safe and you know they care about their residents. It’s no gated community, but having security and cameras helps. Our apartment did not match the model lay out, so communication could definitely be more clear, but it seems as thought they will work with you to resolve issues. I love the events that Hawks Ridge holds as well. They definitely know their target audience, and have activities that are fun and useful. Grocery Bingo and the outdoor movie night allow residents to be involved and make new friends."

"I just moved in a few weeks ago. The staff are helpful and friendly; they try to make the residents feel welcome and at home. The free shuttle in the morning is very convenient, although I have not taken it in the afternoon. I am happy with the underground parking.The maintenance and cleaning team could do a better job. The room could have been cleaned better before I moved in. Overall, I am happy to live here so far. Nice view."
