Valley Ridge Apartments

The rent price for the area is great, however once you factor in the 350 – 450 electric bill, you are back at the area avg. No upgrades to attic insulation or windows probably since built, wouldn’t mind the high bill if could actually be comfortable in the units. In the winter the down stairs is freezing, and upstairs will sweat you out. Summer time upstairs always hot and a/​c will run ²⁴⁄₇ to get down stairs maybe to a 76. After a year I recommend lots of fans and portable heaters. Brings down your bill some. Birds live in the eaves and management won’t do anything about it. Parking is horrible, and they will tow you in a heart beat if not in a parking spot. They can easily add more parking with just re– striping the lot. Some units you can get 2 cars in a spot then they have areas you can’t get doors open if u park in it.

Horrendous place to live. Buildings and appliances are outdated and always manage to fall apart soon after you move in. Management is nice until you move in, then they are rude and never helpful. Our ceiling fan started smoking and sparking, they refused to fix it until after we moved. After that they tried to charge the repair to us, but instead of calling us about any problems, they had a collection agency call us and demand their money. If faced with the choice of living here or on the streets, chose the streets. Valley ridge= moldy buildings that make you sick, rude management and crappy a/​c and appliances that don’t work. Also they will find ways to say you owe money when you can finally leave and they will mess with your credit. DO NOT LIVE HERE. DO NOT LET THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY!!!

This place is terrible!!! We have had issue after issue since we moved in 6 months ago. The ladies in the office are so rude. Main one being Shirley… It’s clear she hates her job and probably her life! We have old leaks mold issues and the trim on the door is coming off! Trying to get them to fix anything is a nightmare!

I ended up calling corporate who immediately pressured them to fixed the problem. Hope I don’t have to dial up the chain every time something goes wrong here.
We had a cold month recently and the poor insulation is starting to show up in our electric bill. We ended up buying a ton of weather stripping and sealing a lot of the cracks.

Unilocal won’t let me give a zero. I lived here for almost three years, the A/​C went out year one, and it took them 1 ½ years to finally replace. I would make calls every week saying it was broken, they would only do quick band aid repairs until I made a big scene in their office. When managment finally got around to replacing the A/​C, the installed one too small for our unit. Expect $ 300 plus electric bills during the summer, and the temp will still get into the 80’s in the apartments. the water heater sparked and caught fire twice, TWICE! first time they just replaced the main board and the burnt insulation, which had nothing to do with the water leaking into the wiring. second time I caused another scene, and they finally replaced the water heater. My family could of died, my wife was so afraid that she was going to burn to death in that slum. there are light switches in the shower, I’ll repeat that. Electrical switches in the shower. No insulation, old windows that won’t stay open, paper thin walls, just a dump. When we moved in the staff was nice, this is no longer the case. I have noticed since moving out I’m not getting head splitting headaches anymore or nausia, so there could be the possibility of a mold problem. Avoid this place, it is a health hazard and money pit

I ended up hating living at Valley Ridge, but it had nothing to do with the apartments themselves. Harding Pike is such a congested area and going anywhere downtown and beyond added an extra 20 minutes to the commute.
That being said, I still gave Valley Ridge 4 stars because it is a nice complex. I had a couple of problems here and there (pests, A/​C flooding water), but they were to quick to fix them and the two women who run the place are very friendly. The two pools on site are nice and usually not that crowded. All in all, if you’re looking to live in West Nashville, Valley Ridge is a great value.

This place is wonderful. We looked all over town and I can honestly say it’s the best deal for the best space in Nashville. Our apartment is enormous, with SIX closets, central heat and air, a fireplace, W/​D connections, and an 18 foot long balcony wide enough for a dinner table. The complex has 2 beautiful pools, a tennis court, and excellent landscaping. Maintenance is really responsive, and everything was in really good shape when we moved in. The location is pretty great — there are plenty of stores/​services close by — and there’s a bus stop right next to the entrance drive.
Best of all, the rent is really reasonable. When we saw what they were offering online, it seemed too good to be true. I am so happy to report it’s everything we hoped for, and more!
