Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

My experience with Thunder Ridge is awesome. I loved my stay at the community. Maintenance guys were prompt. The management people were helpful all the time. The owner Adam Clark is a charming gentleman. He was the nicest landlord that I have ever found. I highly recommend the community to others.

We have lived here for over four years. We have had very few problems; maintenance issues are taken care of right away, and noise issues are swiftly dealt with as well. We are quite happy and intend to stay here until we move out of the area, whenever that may be. We have lived in quite a few different apartment complexes over the years and this one is definitely one of the best!
