  I absolutely love living at Stone Ridge Apartments Homes here in Berea, Ohio. I feel safe. I love the amenities and how well kept the apartments are. Even though I’m living in an apartment it seems like a ranch home and I have everything I need. Although the economy is outrageous I would appreciate if they wouldn’t go up on the rent every year.

  The first place we called home! Great facilities and it was perfect location to our jobs downtown Cleveland! Moved only because we bought a home. We’ll always remember stone ridge!

  I’ve had a wonderful experience living here. The apartments are incredibly spacious, giving you plenty of room to make the space your own. Management (Maloni) and maintenance (Wayne) are also fantastic-they keep the community exceptionally clean, well maintained, and are always quick to respond if anything comes up! I always feel safe in this neighborhood and in my apartment. The property is well lit at night. The community vibe is so welcoming-everyone is so friendly.

  I lived here with my husband for roughly 3 years. I enjoyed living here, but I do think that there is quite a bit of nickel and diming tenants that they are not transparent about and seem excessive. 1. They do not disclose how much the non optional fees are on the website. If you are looking to rent, add a few hundred dollars per month to what you see online. 2. They will push you to sign at least an 18 month lease by making the 12 month lease more expensive per month. I believe it is 10-20% more expensive per month if you chose less than 18. It was fine when we first signed, but rent jumped over $200 when it was time to renew, with the company not willing to negotiate with any tenant. I’m really not sure why they decide to make the standard lease term 18 months, but it feels like a way to add a lot more money to rent at each renewal or make it more likely to break your lease. Either way, it feels like a ploy to squeeze more money out of you, 3. Fees to break your lease or charges after you leave are expensive compared to previous apartments I’ve lived in. We did get a discount for paying to break our lease before we left, but they charge a carpet cleaning fee with your rent and have language in the lease to charge tenants more than the company paid to fix or repair things in the apartment, more specifically the carpet. They will also not communicate with you directly about any charges after move out; they will do so through a third party debt collector immediately. You may also be waiting months for them to submit documentation, which in my opinion is extremely unprofessional and money-hungry when they send mail scaring you to pay or it will be sent to a different debt collector before the period to submit a dispute to resident advocate (the third party collector) is up. Our dispute would have probably been resolved months ago if we didn’t need to move through this process, which the length of time between our complaint and their response has added other stresses. So be warned and read your lease carefully! We wish we did. Like I mentioned, I did enjoy living there; it was spacious and fit our needs well. But there does need to be more price transparency when moving in and more openness to negotiation and discussion with the management company in ALL parts of the leasing process, from the first signing to move out. EDIT: After reviewing the management company's, A.R. Building Company, awful reviews and recent lawsuit they were involved in for predatory practices, along with the F rating by the BBB, I could not recommend anyone live here, or in any of their other properties. Please do your research before you sign your lease.

  I know I have written a lot but I am extremely frustrated so here is a brief summary and if you want the whole story you can read the rest DO NOT MOVE HERE it is overpriced, there was dog urine all over my unit, and Maloni is a pain. You can find better I promise :) I lived at Stone Ridge from May of 2024 to May of 2025. I had to negotiate move in from across the country. I'll start with my positive comments about Stone Ridge. The grounds are beautiful and so well kept. The flowers are absolutely beautiful in the spring. Maintenance is on top of everything and they are the nicest guys! The pool is clean and the workout facilities are also well maintained though limited. The community is safe and the neighbors were kind. However, my experience at Stone Ridge was not worth the $1,645 I paid a month to live there. When I first was looking at apartments I had spoken to Maloni over the phone she was so kind and helpful but that is not her true character. At move in Maloni's demeanor changed quite a bit to me she seemed unapproachable even before our issues with the unit. When I first moved in I had noticed a strange smell in the unit and that the previous tenants had not done a very good job cleaning up after themselves. There was a ring of grime in both of the toilets, there was urine (human or animal I do not know) on the wall of the bathroom, none of the vents had been cleaned, and there was dog hair and food under the appliances oh well... these things can be cleaned. I filled out the inspection list THOROUGHLY with only 24 hours to find every flaw in the unit. I lived in the unit for approximately a week when I started to notice my socks were stained yellow and there were some stains coming up through the carpet around the sliding glass door and then I started to notice it all over and realized that the smell was urine and my carpet was soaked (I have attached photos). We told Maloni that there was urine all over the carpet and that we wanted the carpet replaced. It was a pain to even get the guy to clean it again as and I quote "it was cleaned between tenants." On May 10th the carpet guy came and cleaned the carpet but again the carpet looked fine when he left and progressively the stain came up through the carpet again. My parents had left the state, I had started school, and I could not move the furniture so I decided to clean the carpet myself (photo with baking soda all over May 15th). I was able to lift MOST of the stain from in front of the door and gave up on trying to enlist Maloni's help as cleaning the carpet was clearly not helping and that seemed to be her only solution. I decided not to even contact her as the visible places had been mostly taken care of. However, the entire year I lived in the unit I felt dirty, it smelled, and I couldn't walk around my own apartment barefoot. So, when we were about to move out and I was informed of a carpet cleaning fee at move out I was not thrilled considering the carpet was cleaner now than when I found it. My boyfriend emailed Maloni asking if there was any way to get that waved and she very rudely said no. This is fine considering we did sign a contract about it but I decided to put a wet rag down on the spot near the door again and pulled up more urine. When we cleaned we found even more urine under the bed and under my rug. It had collected around one of my bedposts and left a darker stain on the carpet (I also included the photos of the urine at move out). I received my security deposit back and I was charged $65.00 for carpet stain removal. I did not own an animal and I did not let any humans pee all over my unit. It's not the $65.00 I am upset about it is the games they played with me and the immorality of the situation. Honestly this is just the BIG issue I had with Stone Ridge but there were a ton of tedious little ones. I have lived in my new unit at a different complex for a month now and am so happy not only with the manager but with the unit. I wish the new tenant in 1300 luck! I seriously doubt they replaced the carpet
