Willow Ridge Apartments

are incredibly thin, anyone walking up and down the stairs sounds like a herd of elephants. Since there is no carpet in the majority of the apartment there is nothing to muffle sound. So when your neighbors are coming and going, opening and closing doors and cabinets in their place, even talking on the phone - you get the joys of hearing it ALL. None of the doors have soft close hinges so every door in the 12plex slams and the whole building shakes - this is not an exaggeration. When the wind blows, which happens often in Iowa, the exterior fascia and siding claps noisily and sounds like it's falling off. I have mentioned some of these issues to the landlord who just brushes it off like it's no big deal or sends a generic letter asking tenants to quiet down. Really the building needs an overhaul in design!

made this my home and haven't had one complaint since living here.If I have a question or maintenance issue, the management is very quick to respond. I would recommend these apartments.

slams loudly. Don't even consider trying to have a nice relaxed day unless you can ignore slamming doors and feet all day long, especially around the typical 8am and 5pm time frames. I'm not talking about the typical apartment where noise was a distant priority - this is by far the worst I've ever experienced by a huge margin. Every door and footstep is a loud boom that literally shakes the building. Also, any wind over a few MPH and the siding sounds like it's going to tear off and the building creaks and cracks like it's been standing for 50 years. It was just built, that shows you the quality right there. Landlord doesn't care to address issues, which is too bad really. These apartments could actually pass for luxury with a few issues addressed, and they would not be very expensive to handle. If you do rent here, I hope they clean the unit before you move in. I had to clean mine myself, it was disgusting.
