I have lived at Pleasant Ridge for 5 months and so far it has been good. I will try to give a comprehensive review so that anyone reading it can make an informed decision based on all factors. It will be long, I hope however you read it and it helps you. PROS: The condo is spacious 1350 sq. ft. and set up roommate style with one bedroom and bath on each side separated by the living room/dining room. The foyer is large enough to put a bench or a small table. The Master Bedroom/Bath is large, with the bedroom having wall-to-wall windows, a large closet; and the bathroom having 2-sinks, a vanity with mirrors, 3 closets, and a separate area where the toilet and tub/shower are located. None of the closets are walk-in but there are plenty of them. The 2nd Bedroom is a nice size with a nice size closet, and a large window. The 2nd bathroom is next to it with a shower, no tub. Theres a closet outside the bathroom, which contains shelving. The kitchen is on the same side of the condo as the 2nd bedroom. It has lots of cabinets including a spinning lazy Suzan; ample counter space (top and bottom), and is large enough for my small freezer and kitchen table with 4 chairs. The stackable full-size washer dryer is hidden between double doors; dishwasher, no microwave. The living room/dining room area is quite large and long, and the balcony is too. The Front Lobby is beautifully decorated; has a Keurig for Guests and Residents use. There are 2 elevators; a Cart Room; a pool, an exercise room and a Community Room. There is ample parking. There are a lot of Elders living here and working people; not a lot of children. Everyone Ive met so far has been nice pleasant and cordial; there are lots of dogs owners here as well. Mr. Joe, the Maintenance person is nice; Ms. Joan is the Property Manager is pleasant as well. Neighbors are relatively quiet; sometimes the parking lot is loud blaring music and such at night time. The grounds men keep the property looking nice. CONS: The condos are OLD. The fixtures are old; the plumbing and electrical systems are old, as are the windows which lead to a BIG Con. Your BGE will be sky high. The windows are not insulated well at all. The property manager knows it and will offer you plastic for your windows and balcony door. This place is pricey so you must factor in your BGE bill. The rent goes up 4% each and every year. When I toured, I was told there was storage and was shown an empty storage unit. Didnt get one lot of stories as to why I didnt.
