I was told that some of the elder residents had 'tiny' dogs which did not bother anyone. WRONG!! Dogs are permitted to run around the complex with no leash and most of the dogs are 'ankle biters" and are under no control by their owners. I have complained many times but all I am told is that I was NOT TOLD about a "no dog" policy; the problem needs to be addressed as someone is going to get hurt soon. DO NOT MOVE HERE if you cannot stand the noise of yapping dogs - they will wake you up and management does NOTHING!

When I called to inquire about the apartment I was told it was mostly senior citizens but that…read moreyounger adults could rent as well. I was told about the requirements which were Had to make $2500 a month. Had to have had a job for 6 months. Would run credit but would not base it on a score- would make sure you actually have a credit history. The gentleman was very helpful and positive. I then get a call from a lady named Sandy. Right off the bat she was rude. She told me that she would not be able to rent to me due to my credit discrepancies. I asked her to elaborate and she got really offended and listed of delinquent accounts that had not fallen off get from 2-10 years ago that were acquired with my last marriage. She wouldn't even listen to my explanation. I have no bad rental history whatsoever. She thought she hung up but she didn't and proceeded to bad mouth me to the gentleman there and then insinuated the person she just talked to sounded way to young to be Barbara and that it probably wasn't Barbara. She then said she would mark the application that she spoke to me anyways. I don't even have words. I am a 38 year old mom who has no bad rental history nor a criminal record. I have great references and my credit score is 575 and I have steady work and make over 3400 a month. My goal was to downsize and live here for two years so I could pay off debit and improve my credit score so that I could buy a house. I will make sure I steer people from this place. After sharing my experience on other forums many people have contacted me to say they two have experienced rudeness on more than one occasion.

Bellamy Dahlonega WILL take advantage of you. They will find literally any way possible to keep…read moreyour security deposit and will charge you unreasonable and random fees. They fully take advantage of college students that need a place to stay in Dahlonega with the housing shortage. Leases are predatory- make sure to read the fine print. Units start around $700 per person, which is roughly $2,800 per unit. That is the low end and for the older, outdated units that have not been renovated or gotten appliances updated in years. Please, find another place to live. It is not worth it unless you are rich. Every manager here has been awful. You will save so much money living elsewhere. This is coming from a tenant that has an outstanding record of paying rent and utilities on time, as well as crazy, unnecessary fees.

Vista Ridge is a true gem in regards to layout, location and style. However there is a great need…read morefor a strong management, to make it the best place to live. In my third year I am having to move, because of the continue increase of rent with each lease expiring. I was qualified on a fixed income and do not understand how they expect those on fixed incomes to continue to endure the rate hikes, as fixed income folks, which there are many, do not get raises, like one does when they have a job, working full time. The reasons given each time is, to get rid of those that create issues, yet they are still around. There are problems regarding maintenance not being handled in a timely fashion, There is never any communication from management, regarding happenings within. There has always been a problem with people that do not live here, using the pool, especially after hours, people are allowed to bring their dogs into the pool area, as well as, glass items. Yes the rules are posted, but never enforced. The pool was not maintained during the winter months and last year it was green and looked horrible, not a very good impression to someone that would be cruising the property for possible residence. So far this winter, it is being maintained. Trash in the natural areas is a continued problem, and never cleaned up by management, but by residents. Security lights are not installed at the dumpsters, and those are being used by non residents, along with furniture being dropped off and left out for weeks, sometimes months. All that has been mentioned are fixable, if there is a strong involved management team. I also think that the Maintenance Supervisor should be the one to get work orders and act accordingly, instead of having to be directed by management. We do have a strong maintenance supervisor, however he is not allowed to do his job, as he is trained and qualified for. There is a management change now, and I hope that it will be a positive one, so that Vista Ridge and it's Residents will be the best it can be. The property and views are awesome, it should be respected and valued for this asset. Majority of the residents are friendly and neighborly. Sadly the conversations are always about complaining. There is also a desire for resident activities, to which has never occurred, regardless of those that have stepped up and willing to create. The pool areas have a wonderful grill set up, that would be great to hold gatherings for those that reside here, getting to know your neighbors, etc. An active community contributes to the vitality and safety, an asset that is not utilized for whatever reason. I will miss living here, as I had thought it to be my forever home, but do to the increase of the rent, it is not possible. Such a shame. Thank you for your time, CB

They don't care about upkeep and we have multiple code violations. We moved in at April and they had a failed inspection fire extinguisher in our apartment until we looked at it one day a week ago. They don't care for safety hazards at all. They lie to you in your contract saying your paying for pest control each month but won't send in out each month unless message them every month even though paying for it. And the pest control they send out is a guy who doesn't know what is doing and just sprayed water. Summary: don't live here.
