Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed-positive: many reviewers express strong satisfaction with the lifestyle, activities, scenery, apartments, and staff, but multiple reviewers raise consistent, serious concerns about management practices and pricing/lease terms. The community is frequently described as impressive and beautiful, with several reviewers saying they loved the place after tours and that the setting on the ridge near Redmond is scenic. Units are described positively (including a new two-bedroom with an office and good views), and the availability of a gym and maintenance services is noted. Tours generally left a favorable impression despite isolated arrival miscommunications.
Activities and amenities are a clear strength. Reviews repeatedly list a broad and active social calendar: golf, swimming, travel opportunities, card games, bingo, bridge, pool activities, clubs, stage plays, and concerts. The presence of two restaurants, a golf club, and a clubhouse contributes to a resort-like environment. Reviewers emphasize a very active, engaged senior population and many on-site entertainment options, which supports a socially vibrant community for independent seniors.
Staff interactions and first impressions are mostly positive. Several reviews call staff charming and helpful and say they provided ample information during tours. One review noted an initial miscommunication on arrival (the contact person was not there), which caused a short wait and inconvenience, but the problem was small and the remainder of the visit was good. Overall, personal interactions on tours and with on-site staff are described as a positive part of the experience.
Care model and services are important limitations. Multiple reviewers explicitly note that Reunion at Redmond Ridge is maintenance-only and does not offer personal care or medical assistance on site. There are no on-site care facilities according to the summaries, which makes this community suitable mainly for active, independent seniors rather than those needing assisted living or medical services. One reviewer also mentioned a lack of group outings, although this contrasts with other comments that list many activities; this may indicate variability in programming or differences in resident experiences.
Management, pricing, and lease policies are the primary recurring concerns. Several reviews describe management as inflexible and profit-driven, citing specific lease and renewal practices that current residents find unfair. Reported issues include no option to extend existing leases without being charged a higher rate, rent increases on renewal, and a pattern where new, lower rates are offered only to new tenants while existing tenants face higher renewal costs or more expensive month-to-month rates. Utility charges are also a notable complaint: one review cites utility charges of about $150 per month since 2018. Together, these points create a perception among reviewers that financial policies favor new admissions and institutional revenue over the interests of incumbent residents.
Patterns and takeaway: Reunion at Redmond Ridge appears to deliver a high-quality independent living experience in terms of amenities, social life, dining, and scenic setting, and staff generally make a favorable impression during tours. However, potential residents and their families should weigh those positives against the community's limited care services (no on-site medical or personal care) and recurring, specific concerns about lease rigidity, renewal pricing, and utility costs. The financial and management issues are repeatedly mentioned and are likely to be important decision factors for anyone considering residency. Prospective residents should ask clear questions about lease renewal options, month-to-month rates, utility fees, and how pricing for existing tenants is handled compared with new tenants, and should confirm the level of on-site care and programming consistency before committing.
