Poplar Ridge Apartments

I've been living at Poplar Ridge Apartments for about a year now and have to say it has been a wonderful experience. The quiet, peaceful environment, wonderful neighbors, professional office staff, and hardworking maintenance crew, all make Poplar Ridge the ideal place to stay. I appreciate the convenience of the various shops, stores, restaurants, gyms, banking. Just about everything one needs is within walking distance or within a mile and a half radius. For all these reasons, I consider Poplar Ridge Top Tier for preferred apartment living at an affordable price!!!

I'm in an un-upgraded version, but I love my apartment. Been here since 2016. Yes, the rent went up but they'll work with you and try to get you a deal to keep good residents. Maintenance is friendly & knowledgeable. I'm happy to be close to Trader Joes, Meijer, Target, Kroger, other shopping, car maintenance, & the interstate. Fire/Police right across the street in case of emergencies. Manager is super nice. They do nice things such as breakfast Fridays in the office. Heating bill is on the high side, be forewarned.

Outside lights have been out although reported months ago. Shady characters moving in, and you can hear everything your neighbors do in their apartment. MY CAR WINDOW WAS SHOT OUT & I didn't get so much as a "sorry, that happened" from management. That's my last straw--moving out as soon as possible. May even break my lease to escape. Electric bills run $200 in the winter for 1 bedroom. They also charge for water, trash and they force a renter's ins. policy on you.

Recently bought out and now charging over $300 more, plus charging for water, trash and forcing a renter's ins. policy that you have to purchase and put in THEIR name as beneficiary. Thin walls, super high electric bills in the winter. Short-tailed shrews come in through the holes in winter. Worst part: You can hear every step your neighbors on all sides make--no joke, floors are hollow.

If you like $200 electric bills, this is the place for you. Walls are paper thin. Recently bought out by someone else, that doesn’t honor agreements Oh did I mention all of bugs come into you apartment, from different places. If you have children allergic to bug bits, I wouldn’t stay here.

This was my first apartment. I enjoyed the one level however the noise still comes through. I have a neighbor behind me who literally shakes my entire apartment at all hours. Also, I've had and still have a few rodent issues (squirrels and mice). The apartments are older so it's easy for critters to get in. Staff is pretty good until you pressure them on these types of issues. Good things include them giving us treats on our doors and having themed events. We also get the early bird discount.

Poplar Ridge is a great place to call home! I’ve lived here almost six years, and before here, had lived at many other complexes. This is the first place I’ve lived where I get rewarded for paying my rent before the first of the month- a $40 discount adds up to $480 per year, almost like getting a month of rent free, just for paying before the 1st! The office staff is super friendly and 99% of the maintenance work orders are done the same day I’ve called and made the request. Also, they do things all year long to show appreciation for us such as free donuts and coffee the morning of National Donut Day, free ice cream one week out of the summer, and various other evening treats like pizza grab n gos or hot dog and chips grab and go. Every month we receive a newsletter which includes a treat of some sort, and then to top it all off, a huge resident party at the end of summer which is catered, and they give away the best prizes, including a tv and cash! There are even things I haven’t mentioned! I figured I would only live here a short time, but I’ve never been treated so well living in an apartment complex.

I would wish they would do something with the office staff lady that greets his soon as you walk in the door very disappointed in her a liar and she should let people know things ahead of time instead of getting them to get a money order in then show up there and be embarrassed. And also I know quite a few people in there that don't have two times the income.

I've only been a couple months, but I love it here. Being disabled, it can be hard to do basic things. They're gone out of their way to help me stay independent, and not just when I moved in. The staff here are wonderful! Having a washer/dryer and dishwasher help too.

Nicely maintained quiet property. All units are one floor so no noisy neighbors upstairs! Staff is very friendly and responsive. Nice events several times a year with food an prizes to meet neighbors and staff. I highly recommend Poplar Ridge as your new home!

Nice location at a reasonable price. I like the woods nearby and the availability of it being shorter term and furnished.
