they automatically add up the fee for credit score and charge u late fee for that! :) stupid fuck :)

This property does not help military with orders. They will ask for a whole month even if you leave at the very beginning of the month. If you're PCSing to this area. Avoid timber ridge and get an apartment complex that works with military rather than takes advantage of the system. read more

I agree, if you are a soldier do not rent from them. They told me the exact same thing - that I needed a 30 day notice as soon as I got my orders, or they would work with me if my orders came and there was not time for a 30 day notice. Well, when the time arrived, I gave them a 40 day notice but because I was unable to give that notice before the first of the prior month, they made me pay the entire month instead of prorating it. So they made off with 15 days rent. Way to thank your soldiers! read more

I have lived here for nearly 4 years. This property and its sister property Sycamore Point in Leesville are literally right outside the main gate at Fort Polk, that is a MAJOR plus. Literally you drive 1-2 miles and you are on post. The area is pretty safe and the grounds are generally well kept (exceptions being the occasional dirty/unhygienic neighbors who leave their trash on the porch and crap all over their back patio). Overall, the apartments and townhomes are in decent shape, however it is very obvious that they are several decades old. They are NOT energy efficient, especially if you are in a townhome, in the summer fully expect up to a 20 degree difference between your upstairs and your downstairs with NOTHING you can do about it. speaking only about the townhomes (that's what I live in), the layout is ok. the downstairs is an open floorplan that is a pretty good size compared to most apartments. Upstairs is a little cramped between the hallway and bedrooms/bathroom. there are an excessive amount of doors that in my opinion do little but get in the way. there are 8 regular doors and 2 sliding closet doors upstairs in about 600Sq ft. there are shelves in the laundry room that are your "pantry" but are enough to easily hold your stuff. the closet under the stairs is a good size. the closet on the patio is huge but be warned you WILL get all kinds of Louisiana creepy crawlies in there so if you are putting stuff out there to store, completely seal your boxes! black widows and brown recluses and the new hybrid species brown widows are no joke. the office and maintenance staff are overall pretty good just make SURE you let them know EVERY time you put in a work order if you have pets because sometimes they don't close the door all the way if they are working in your house! they are very good about making sure to close it if you have pets though. the only things I really have issues with is that the water is VERY hard with lots of minerals so your hair, clothes and skin will take a beating, since the units have sucky insulation, your electric bill will be pretty high not to mention you will be hot in your house in the summer and freeze the years we actually get winter unless you want to pay over $200 to keep your house comfortable. (currently I keep my house at 68 in the winter and average a $130 heat bill and keep it at 74-76 in the summer and pay about $175 a month). the other thing I gripe about is rent going up EVERY year despite getting no improvements in living. every time congress approves a raise or BAH goes up for the military, your rent will go up $30 a month which is an extra $360 a year to live there. last thing, if you have more than 1 vehicle, have fun playing musical cars in the carport. they get pissy if you park on the grass or street but there really is no other good way to get cars in and out if you leave at different times as your spouse/roommate. on the whole, not a bad place to live, I just feel that for the area and housing options off post that are not actual houses, you pay a little more than the area should support. read more
