Resident Reviews

I am a brand new resident and LOVE IT! The staff is so helpful and the other residents are so friendly. I felt welcome and at home from the first day! I cannot get over the quality and abundance of the amenities and events.

I’ve lived in Overture @fair Ridge for about 6years and have found it to be a well run well kept community. The staff is friendly, there are always events and affairs going on. Transportation to various places, for shopping and entertainment etc. I would recommend it to any senior who’s in the market for housing!!

I just want to say what a wonderful staff we have here. They are working hard to improve the community and meet the needs of the residents. The landscape is looking beautiful and we have been having some awesome activities. Today’s 4th of July celebration was great fun and we had some delicious food.

Not yet moved in. However, the Overture staff, specifically Mariela Bettancourt, was exceptionally helpful to me. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I look forward to living at Overture!

I enjoy the people. I enjoy the current management staff. The place is well maintained. Lots of fun activities. Good shuttle service. I would only prefer longer lease options and lower rent.

Love living at Overture. The staff is fabulous and responsive and the residents are friendly. The apartments are lovely with modern features and large closets. We get a delicious breakfast three days a week and have wonderful events. This week we had a Mardi Gras event, a tea for Valentine’s Day, and a piano event just to name a few.

Amanda is doing a great job in getting this community back to being number one in Overtures senior living. Her open door policy has made the difference! She is the best thing to happen here in a long time!

Since our current manager, Amanda, arrived living here is a pleasure. I always enjoyed my neighbors, many of whom have become good friends, but the vibe here is just so positive . Just about everyone is happy, the office is warm and welcoming, and concerns are addressed immediately.

I moved to this new home only two months. I feel good ? Wonderful environments, great social activities. I will tell my friends and family about this.

You continue to love and care for children regardless of the disturbance they create messing an occasion. Overture is the like to me. Withe some ups and downs of the quality of amenities and events that are termed complimentary, over all you like the community.

Wonderful new manager and fabulous staff! The community is looking better each day! Lots of activities and fun things to do if one chooses to participate ?

I’ve been a resident for 3 months now so have had a chance to experience several activities, such as a patio BBQ, Bingo, new resident orientation, ice cream and more. Anytime I’ve reached out with a concern, maintenance or just a suggestion, I’ve not felt unwelcome. As a still active senior who retired and then jumped back into my industry, leasing listened & appreciated the feedback and suggestion to reprogram coffee start-time to an earlier hour. Many senior rise early and some, like me, work. Great to grab a cup to go on the way to work. A small change goes a long way! Mariela, Elton & maintenance are awesome. I’m so hoping changes in leasing will maintain & even improve services here. It’s pretty great right now but there’s always room for improvement. But but we shall see. Keeping hope alive.

Very good service. Beautiful environment. Friendly neighbors. I’ve searched senior living around this area for months, Overture is the best. I’m happy to find my new home here.

Love Overture Fair Ridge. Great place to live. Grocery Store very close. Doctors, dentist and eye doctor are within walking distance. This is a apartment complex for Active Adults 62 and older. Not an easy complex to get around if you are not an active person.

The building and amenities are very nice and maintained well. It's also nice that it's very quiet. The staff are friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient.

Pretty good experience living in this community. But there is much difference between initial satisfaction and of the present. As the number of residents going up so is the sliding downward of the overall services and care. I have submitted request of renewal of the lease through the Resident Portal on November 12, and a reminder email earlier this week without a response till December 12. My lease is to expire on February 28, 2024

I've lived at Overture since it first opened and I'm very happy with the building, amenities, and staff. It's also conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants. I only wish that the valet garbage service was optional because I never use it.

Things seem to be improving with our new manager. Landscaping is much better and it looks like the outdoor lighting issue is being worked on.

I am pleased to be here. Service has been pretty good. Would like a bigger pool, but the gym is fantastic. Happy hour three times a week is great. I met my new bride there.

Great place to live. Beautifully kept property. Plenty of amenities. Good responsive staff. Plenty of activities for the residents. Overture Fair Ridge is located close to all types of stores. Fair Lakes and Fair Oaks Malls are just minutes away.

I've lived here since the beginning and am happy with the nice facilities and quiet living environment. Would appreciate a more permanent fix for the kitchen sink garbage disposal that keeps breaking down and the bathroom sink that keeps getting clogged

Jul 3, 2024

The only problem I have is that some problems have not been fixed that were promised. Birds built nests in the garage and peck at insulation so there is constant bird droppings and insulation on the floor and cars.

When we took the Overture residentship in June 2019 it was different experience. Things have gradually changed as the resident crowd grew in numbers.. Complementary breakfast gradually squeezed to three days a week from initial six.Cleanliness of the elevators movers use to bring in our take out arriving and departing residents is failing. But still I love the community.

I like the quiet. I wish more events could be at 5pm or later. I wish there was better communication from staff regarding maintenance issues (that affect the entire community), faster snow removal. Coffee and sparkling water machines are empty half the time I go to use them. Better signage for deliveries when doors are locked. Garages need more clarity. When I moved in my shower was filthy. And the fridge. I told 3 staff members and entered it on moved in sheet but no one seemed to care. I'm still scrubbing mold and dirty soap scum from shower. I do like living here but it's not as "active" as I expected. Pictures in hallways are depressing.

We are going to complete five years of our residency next June and hopefully step into our sixth year. Amenities aside our main consideration of living in this community is.the proximity of the residences of our two daughters. We have witnessed the slashing of facilities, to mention singularly, is the breakfast compliments. Rent soaring with every renewal of the contract at a rate the management decides. The clause that specified the rate of rent to be raised was deleted at the time of first renewal very subtly without our prior knowledge. We are now left at the mercy of the management. Our take this time is an eight percent increase of rent. On my fervent appeal to the management staff I was assured reduction of rent increase from eight to six percent and we are yet to get the contract documents for our signature almost after two weeks. At the last renewal we faced some odds signing the contract.for a technical issue. Hopefully delay will not pose as a problem this time

Things have gotten a lot better since our new community manager Amanda Gorman arrived recently. All the exterior lights are now working, security has improved with the repair of all exterior doors, she has outlined upcoming plans for interior common spaces to be renovated, landscaping outside has been greatly improved, she holds monthly manager's update meetings (which never occurred before), she recently had all furnace filters and smoke detector batteries replaced.

Oct 31, 2023

We finally got a new manager. The old one came in late, left early, and did very little before or after her long lunch break. The new manager comes in early, leaves late, and works very hard all day. We do have a problem in that the last manager let things go downhill for three years. Lots of things need to be fixed. With a little help from corporate, we expect great improvement. Did I mention that we now have a great manager.

Oct 16, 2023

our new manager Amanda has really improved our resident life. She has many plans for facility improvements over the nest year. The new landscape contractor has been clearing the recent snows very quickly from all off our walkways so we can walk outside without the worry of slipping or falling.

Feb 1, 2024

The location and the people here are the best. Communication with the leasing office has improved sine Amanda arrived. However, I would not be giving this only a three star rating if problems in the building were taken care of.

Overture has a pleasant atmosphere! Attendance at functions are more than the area can handled as there isn't enough seating. Preparations by the Overture staff are too much for what they do. Maintenance department could use more people as Overture is 6 years old and needs upgrading although condition of the amenities are OK. The concerns of the residents are valid as presented by the committee. The outside grounds are fine. Even though Overture is a smoke-free facility if an area or enclosure had been provided when Overture was built there wouldn't be any empty apartments! One thing Overture is located in the best location for shopping within 3 miles.

Feb 13, 2024

Since my last review...most of the outside lights were repaired and working, however several rows of lights failed after the electricians left thus presenting a dangerous situation for elderly residents returning from an evening outing or dinner. The intercom system still does not work to let someone into the building. Security has improved somewhat, but several of. the outside doors often don't lock from he outside.
