Unfortunately, our rent kept increasing each year and got to the point that it was no longer feasible for us to afford it. We lived in a two bedroom, one bathroom unit. This community is clean, quiet, and updated. The pool and gym are never busy. Have never had any issues with bugs, maintenance, or the front office. Parking is free and guests can park without a pass. You can find apartments with more space for less price around the area, but overall, would recommend the complex! I wish there were options to sign for longer than 12 months in order to minimize the increase in rent each year.

I don't write reviews. I do read them, and I am grateful for all the people who take the time to…read moregive honest feedback on their experiences. But generally speaking, I have sort of a caveat emptor approach to life and I usually just figure, oh well, lesson learned ig. Other people might have different experiences than I did, don't let me bash something indiscriminately. Having said that, let me give you some valuable advice about Ridgemar Commons and how to deal with the Property Manager from Hell. To start with, there were many things I loved about living at Ridgemar. My unit was small but in great shape. It was typically pretty quiet (though if you can, try to get an upstairs unit as there seems to be very little dampening of sound between floors and the footsteps overhead can be obnoxiously loud), parking was close and plentiful, and the location is fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about the maintenance staff, especially Adonis, who was the go-to guy for my building. They were quick to respond, super knowledgeable and skilled at what they do, and are just generally good people I enjoyed being around. The problem was literally one person -- the property manager. For the life of me, I can't remember her name anymore, which was annoying at first because boy do I want to call her out by name. But then I realized that my brain had opted not to store that information and honestly? Mad respect for that. So the details of my story are insane and lengthy so I won't go into it here. And in all honesty, the issue began over a mutual mistake that we *both* made. But although I immediately owned up to my error once I understood what had happened, she kept doubling down again and again, *insisting* that she had done something that she absolutely did not do. The upshot of it was that I was being told that I had canceled my lease when I had not and that I needed to be out of my unit in 48 hours because it had already been rented to someone else. I called two attorneys I happen to know, explained the situation, and asked if I had any recourse. Both of them gave similar advice, which was that yes, I could take this to court, but without documentation proving what either of us had done or not done, it would be tricky to litigate and resolve. So I did some digging, and finally found the company who actually owned the complex. I reached out to them and within days I had a new year-long lease at the same rate. I spent that year just keeping my head down and biding my time. Until today. Because now, after I have moved away, received my deposit back, and it has cleared my bank, I am here to warn others about the unprofessional, dishonest, and aggressive way this property manager handles tenants at Ridgemar Commons. I wish I could express to you all how bad this situation got, how distressed and terrified and anxious I was for those few days. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, cried constantly, felt shaky and lightheaded, and had a racing pulse at all hours of the day. It's the closest I have ever come to a complete collapse. And it was all because ONE PERSON refused to admit that she had made a mistake. So what's my advice to folks thinking about moving to Ridgemar Commons? There's still a lot of good things about this place, and for the most part they outweigh any of the negatives. But take it from me: be prepared. Go into it with your eyes open and know that the only person you can fully trust here is yourself. Document absolutely everything. In writing. Do not be afraid to talk to attorneys and to tell the property management that you have. And if push comes to shove, reach out to the company that owns the property (they're not always easy to find, I had to do quite a bit of sleuthing). You are your own best advocate. Don't be taken out by someone who parades around as an adult but has not yet grasped the concept of owning up to mistakes and correcting them or taking responsibility for her own actions. Good luck!

I was moving and needed a company to find a tenant and manage my condo. Called around town and…read moreactually had a good first impression. The owner was pleasant enough and professional. When she handed me over to the actual person who would be managing the property, things started to fall apart beginning with a tremendous amount of pushback on absolutely everything. And they were not prompt in responding and lacked follow through. It was an incredibly stressful time. Eventually, once the funds were received for placement, tenant and myself were unceremoniously dropped from their "firm". I thought it was just me, but it appears that this is a pattern of bad behavior that still remains unchecked to this day.

Once you sign that least, you are on your own and cannot even have open communication with the actual property owner. If you have a problem with the staff, the owner of the company (who it is named after) will not discuss any of your concerns and will relay you back to the staff members.

However, after numerous calls & initial meetings with dozens of various property managers in town, I was lucky enough to meet Suzanne Melton and her team at Union Properties. Here are three reasons why I would highly recommend any SFR investor to entrust their portfolio with Union Properties: LOCAL MARKET KNOWLEDGE & HIGH-DEGREE OF EFFICACY - Despite the uncertainties of COVID-19, Suzanne was able to quickly source & place tenants in my SFR at a rental rate that was ~32% higher than consensus estimates made by competing local property managers in under 30 days NETWORK OF LOCAL RELATIONSHIPS - Suzanne and her team at Union Properties have established a strong network of local contractors available for work orders, including but not limited to plumbers, electricians and lawn service specialists. For someone who does not want the hassle of paying a premium to self-source handypersons to fulfill maintenance requests, this is a great perk of working with Suzanne ASSERTIVE, RESPONSIVE & ORGANIZED - Suzanne takes her job seriously and always remains in close contact with her owners when it comes to leasing, maintenance, capital expenditures and other updates in relation to the asset Union Properties is responsible for. All billing, invoices and documents flow through her & her professionalism to coordinate between tenants and owners is exceptional In conclusion, I would highly recommend Suzanne and the team at Union Properties for any prospective SFR / student housing / condo investor in the Gainesville market.

Trimark (USUALLY) has been reasonable and of good value. The amenities for the location and rent…read moreare pretty good, so for the value of the facilities, it was pretty okay. We've rented at both Deco and Camden, which are both alright. People liked to tell me that they thought Deco was ugly, weird colors, whatever. I thought it was cute, and the countertops were granite, so idk what else I could really ask for, especially for the rent. My neighbors were always friendly and quiet. Camden was also pretty nice. No serious complaints. Management sometimes took a long time to fill requests. Specifically, we tried to get somebody to look at both the lock on the front door (looked like the casing was literally falling off) and the lock on my bedroom door (didn't work when we moved in, the pivoting thing on the lock in the handle just freely swivels all the way around). We put a formal request in through the website for the front door, they scheduled a date and time to come by, and then nobody showed up. We only asked them to look at my bedroom lock through text, so ig that gets a pass. There were other weird things about this property, namely a nail that stuck up in our carpet and a recurring mildew problem in the toilets. Nothing that couldn't be worked around with some routine cleaning or care, just...strange. Considering how other basic maintenance concerns were brushed off even when they were looked at, we decided to let these slide. Idk what it is tho, new management, staff whatever, but the leasing office and their policy has specifically taken a turn for the worst. My unit group has rented from Trimark for 6 straight years, starting when my older brother was a sophomore through my senior year with a little overlap. During that time whenever our roommate situation was firm we'd always renew early to lock in their early bird rent special, which had us renewing in mid Fall as opposed to Spring. During our last term with them however, they got super pushy about trying to get us to renew in October, heavily implying to us that our unit would not be available for a renewal if we didn't do it on their timeline. This was super confusing to us, because I and my roommate both renewed and signed onto leases after decisions came out in March. I also don't know of any other property that forces you to renew on a unit three months into the lease term. Really rubbed me the wrong way considering how faithfully we've paid rent to them without problems, and come spring, they had in fact leased our unit to somebody on a waitlist. This to say, it's an alright place to rent from, but only if you know exactly what your plan is by October. That wasn't the case for us, but maybe it is for you lmao. Obviously with the way the lease was written it wasn't a breach of anything, and that's their prerogative as a landlord ig. Just super weird and felt kinda slimy. Not saying explicitly not to rent with them, but definitely want other renters to be aware of how they do business. I've attached text and email correspondence for your viewing pleasure.
