They don't care and won't help you and just generally aren't nice people. Luxury living this is not. If I wanted to pay a ton to be treated like this I would have stayed in abusive relationship where I had no money or self respect for myself. This place may have been great at one point, but not now.

Common Fitness room/meeting room was a bonus, as was the convenience of a heated garage I lived at Canyon Ridge beginning in March 2011 and all of 2012 at about $1,300/mo......so roughly, $29,000.00. I honored the management rules......or at least......was not ever notified of any offenses. Encountered only minor inconveniences while living there. Would have rated Canyon Ridge much higher had I not experienced managements excessive over-reach of levying a charge against my damage/security payment, covering a reported (possibly fraudulently so) The charge wasn't enough to file small claims, but more importantly I don't recall inflicting such damage.

You are also REQUIRED to give them the keys and let them in or its cause for eviction. Not to mention, the rebuilt apartments are not good quality, the workers cut corners everywhere. You are also REQUIRED to tell them 2 months before the lease is up that youre not resigning or they charge you 20% increases PLUS 250 a month. Giving 2 months notice in this economy is virtually impossible. Especially since the lease says absolutely nothing about them being required to let me know if rent is raising or lowering at that 60 day remaining mark. My biggest frustration is them requiring you to run hot water ALL NIGHT so THEIR pipes dont freeze and then they will not reimburse you. Using my money to save their as*ess from having to repair something. Not to mention i had to reach out 3 times before receiving my lease paperwork. Management never picks up the phone, i will call and no answer. Then 5 seconds later when i walk in the door theyre all just sitting on their computers. Dont let the new shiny counters and "amenities" fool you. Youll pay 2000$ for an apartment slapped together in a month. Also its been two years since that others persons review and the dumpster is still a disgusting mess. The residents dont care, dog poop and pee everywhere too. Literally trash left everywhere next to the dumpster. When going on a tour, they'll tell you that they plow bright and early so there's no need to worry about that, but all they do is the one strip in the road and block your cars in. They never clear out the car spaces so there are mounds of ice in between each car. If none of this matters to you, its a good place to live and its in a good spot. If these things do bother you, look elsewhere

- I DO NOT LIVE HERE -…read more This review is based off the tour I had the other day and will hopefully answer some questions for future residents. Within a week of my tour request, I had 3 different voicemails from 3 different leasing agents trying to schedule with me. Our appointment was at 3pm, and our leasing agent was 10 minutes late. I don't think she ever introduced herself, because I don't remember her name. She also failed to acknowledge my partner and only addressed me. Turns out she's only been with the company for two months. She never asked me for any ID, even though the desk sign said it was required. OK. I gave her my price range and she took us on a golf cart to tour ground level, basic one bedroom. It did look outdated and had carpeted flooring. Then we drove over to see a two bedroom. Neither of the apartments looked like any of the images online. I asked to see the renovated one bedroom that was online. Looked much better, but the price was over $2000/month. False advertising using the basic apartment prices for the updated ones. The application fee is $50 per person. Utilities are NOT included. You have to pay an annual fee for the amenities. There are monthly garbage disposal fees, as well as a monthly $5 admin fee. The leasing agent only told me this because I asked... There are also annual and monthly pet fees PER pet. We were never shown the club house or gym, so I can't speak to that. What I can say is the club house had a boarded up window due to it being broken the day before by kids residing in the complex. The pool looked clean to me. All units have a washer and dryer. Maintenance is based off a work order system, with emergency requests taking priority. Pest control is onsite weekly to maintain the property. There are car ports you can rent for $50/month that have surveillance cameras. We saw some pretty expensive cars on the lot. The leasing agent told us to keep our doors locked. I asked the agent about safety in the area due to the mixed reviews about the complex. She said she knew nothing about the reviews and asked me what I meant. Huge red flag in my opinion. How can you sell a product you haven't researched? Anyways, I told her what I read (that residents mentioned roaches and shootouts) and her only explanation was that a new Jewish management company out of New Jersey (I think) took over a year and a half ago and have been working on changing things. However, old residents from prior management who "let anyone live here" (her words not mine) still reside in the complex. She says they deny many applicants weekly now in order to improve the complex standards. I asked her what the minimum credit score was for acceptance, and she couldn't even answer the question. I can't speak on the minimum requirements for having an application accepted. Overall, this place seemed very, very overpriced. I understand that is the market now, but nothing is included in this complex. It's base rent + everything, even if you don't want to use their amenities. AND you can't guarantee safety? Good luck.

I lived at Santini Villa Apartments July 2014-June 2016 in one of the 1BR 1.5 Bath Woodbrook…read moreTownhomes. In 2014 my rent was $1230/mo, in 2015 it increased to $1245/mo in 2015, with heat and hot water included. I paid $35-$65/mo for electricity (Eversource), and $35-55 for internet (Comcast). The living room had a wall-unit A/C which kept the living room cool, and with fans to help air-flow kept the upstairs cool. The basement kept naturally cool in the summer. (My basement sliding doors were in the shade from 10am on.) In the winter, the basement was a bit cool near the outside wall (socks were necessary), but otherwise the apartment kept very toasty. The staff were very helpful. I locked myself out 3 times (during office hours) and each time they very promptly drove over with me or lent me a key. After that I did make a copy of my key, which is allowed. If you lock yourself out when the office is closed, it's a $50 call to the locksmith. The online bill payment system is great - responsive on computer and mobile, and very easy to use. I lived in the apartment above the row's furnace, etc. and one night it started making weird clunking noises. I called the emergency maintenance phone number and they got someone over to repair it within 90 minutes. My neighboring residents were a stable presence. There was a college-aged couple, several older couples, and at least 2-3 families with young kids in our row. I saw only one of them move out in my 2 years there. There were maybe 1-2 moving trucks a month in the larger vicinity that I saw, but in general, turnover didn't seem particularly high for a large community of rental properties. Also, the soundproofing between apartments is excellent. I never heard my neighbors unless they were vacuuming and we both had our windows open. The gym at the clubhouse is available to all Santini residents. It was always kept neat and clean, and it's 24 hours. I went at random times, and in general there would be 0-5 other people there. Enough to be friendly, but not crowded and no fighting over the machines. Snow-plowing was always very prompt, especially salting of the steps. They clear out the visitor spaces and then everyone moves their cars there so they can plow the main parking spaces. It would happen at 8 or 9am, so not compatible with sleeping in, but worth it to have a nice clear lot. Trick-or-treating is also nice. You grab a sign from the office during October, and on Halloween if you want trick-or-treaters, you put it on your door, otherwise you're left alone. Kids from the complex and other nearby complexes come around, so it's not an overwhelming amount of kids, but enough to make it satisfying to give out candy. I did sometimes find some house centipedes in the basement as the weather turned cooler, but they are harmless. Also, while some areas of grass are nicely maintained, my back area was a smaller strip that got less attention, and did become a bit dry and weedy during the high months of summer. The kitchen was a bit small in terms of counterspace, but it was manageable so long as I didn't let the dishes pile up. The shower drain also had a weird design that made it a bit difficult to pull out hair that accumulated. In general, pretty minor complaints. Since at least March 2014, there is a specific Model Home apartment for the Woodbrook apartments that Santini takes prospective tenants to tour. That means you don't have strangers tramping through your home after you decline to renew your lease. Overall, I loved my apartment here. The staff was friendly and helpful, the apartment was spacious (that basement!!!!!), had big windows, lots of parking space, and the gym and pool were always well maintained.

The office staff was always friendly and helpful. One time I thought I left a burner on during my rush out to work, and I called the office staff for help. They were happy to send maintenance staff to check, and they were cheerful and accommodating then and always. When I moved in, my apartment was super clean and in great condition. They didn't cut any corners, and they paid attention to detail. I always felt safe, my neighbors were respectful, and parking was super convenient and easy.

I believe my rent to start was $1150 and the second year it was $1255 for a 1 bedroom. It was quiet during my first year but this year it got louder with more small kids moving in and dogs. The grounds are kept very clean and management lets everyone know when cars need to be moved for plowing, when grass is being treated, when unauthorized non- residents are violating the pool, and on occasion theft. There's assigned parking however, the second yr the newer residents starting parking in my spot a lot and causing me to have dents on my passenger door. The laundry rooms could be a lot better. There's constantly dog hairs/fur in the machines, yuck! However there is a way through an app to alert the company when a machine is malfunctioning which happened sometimes and I swear it's because of all the dog hairs clogging up the system. Unfortunately there is only 2 spots to reload the balance on your laundry card. I had suggested multiple times that all the laundry rooms should be able to have a reload card system. My first year there was an ice cream truck that would come every Friday but the second year that disappeared. Both summers the pool opened up late well after Memorial Day and 4th of July. Then the pool would close early for the season so if you're lucky you might get 6 weeks out of it. The BBQ area is only available on the other side of the complex so bring a Wagon or drive to the BBQ area but then you'll have to travel back to your unit away to use the rest room. Hardly no one uses the basketball court or tennis court and maybe they should consider converting those into BBQ areas as well. The CONS: There are hidden fees and they rush you out the unit even if you tell them you're buying a house and need a few more days or weeks, nope they don't give a damn. They offer to hike your rent up $400, from $1255 to $1600 for no reason. It's not like you're asking for extra square footage. Your lease ends you better find a safe place to sleep in your car or secure an AirBnB.

Mind you, I am 7 months pregnant and have two toddler daughters. We didn't feel comfortable moving 3 small children into a lead-based hazard that requires much upkeep and concern and shocked it was the first we were hearing of it. When we confronted Patti, she acted as if my husband was in the wrong for not knowing it was common to have lead-based construction in "all old New England homes" and denied a refund on our holding fee. We were not disclosed this information or we would not have even applied! After we discovered the lead documents, all we got from the property manager was "Yeah, it seems to be a concern for families with children." Of course it's a concern and you should disclose it before accepting any form of payment! Now currently taking it to small claims court after little to no response from the property manager. The apartments are nice though!
