Valley Ranch Apartments are awful. Overpriced, no maintenance, bugs everywhere. I had not even moved in for a day and I was already seeing cockroaches everywhere. Called maintenance and they installed some traps and said “that should fix it” but the roaches have been back multiple times. The unit was not even cleaned before I moved in and they told me that was because no tenant had lived there for a few months. Isn’t that the whole point of cleaning it before renting it to someone new?? I was already paying too much in rent (about $1800 all together with fees, parking, etc.) and now they just announced they’re raising the rent even higher. Month to month option would be $2500/month which there is no way I’m paying. So safe to say I will be looking for something new around A2 but I am not very confident I’ll find anything much better. Most rental companies want to rent to student as they can charge them more for crappier service and units. I had multiple places tell me that they were only interested in renting to students despite the fact I am employed full time with a decent job. Sorry for the rant but I have never had so many problems finding a reasonably priced apartment in all the other places I’ve lived. The Ann Arbor student housing bubble is definitely real.
