Justin was super helpful and Gianna was always super responsive. Both of them went above and beyond. It is a shame they no longer work here. The new team does not seem interested in helping the residents or doing their jobs. The new blonde lady in the office always seems confused and does not know what she is doing. She hides behind some huge monitor which makes her unapproachable. Occasionally I see another woman there but she is not friendly either. It takes maintenance a long time to address work orders and when they finally get to it they just try to blame the resident or say that is just how the building . For the price and location, I would expect more.

I lived here for two years and would not recommend. The fact that they call this apartment complex…read more"luxury" is laughable. The kitchens are tiny, outdated and have no garbage disposal. We also had a ton of water damage to our ceilings, and most appliances were falling apart. The worst part? The AC units are super old and grimy - not great if you have allergies to dust. We also had mice during the wintertime despite keeping our kitchen immaculately clean. The only saving grace is the maintenance crew who are very kind and fast working. For the hefty price tag, it's just not worth it. Go elsewhere.

The previous three years have been a disaster. They fired an awesome management company (Avalon)…read moreto bring in two subpar companies. We no longer have a full-time concierge, so packages are left out a few days a week to be stolen. Last year, they tried to raise rent 15%. We called the city and found out the building received an exception from the rent limit for 30 years. The only reason this didn't get one star is the building us under new ownership, and it appears the new owner has some common sense. If you need to live close to the train, you probably don't have a lot of options, but if you don't need the train, I would look elsewhere.

Brendan was one of four flooring experts I got quotes from about my apartment floors. Having just…read morebought a ~100 year old apartment, I wasn't sure if I wanted to replace the old looking floor or just have them refinished. Brendan was the only one of the experts that encouraged me to refinish the old floors, promising that with some TLC (and sanding), the hardwood would not only maintain its character but look even better than new floors. In addition to his earnest recommendation and his knowledge about the different types of wood floors in the apartment, Brendan was super clear about what I could expect from the refinished floors and the timeline in having them done. There was a section of the original floor that was bouncy/loose so Brendan replaced a few pieces and you can't even tell there'd been an issue there! He was super communicative throughout the entire process, even texting me progress photos when I asked how the project was going. He was in and out in two days and I am SO HAPPY with how the floors look now. Brendan exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to work on their floors.

My apartment building has many restrictions, but Brendan and team worked closely with the apartment staff. Great communication. Now the best part. My new hardwood floors are gorgeous. So pretty.

Lived here for a 14 months. Very modern and comfortable. The most important issue was that the…read moremonthly increase for the renewal was outrageous, which was knocked down by $300/mo when we reached out. If they could have charged that in the first place, why charge so much and only give the significant discount after you email them you are planning to leave. Really you can only blame the greedy corporation that owns the building. But honestly, it just does not make a resident feel good. Additionally every time there is a fire drill, you will go deaf because the alarm is so unbearably loud (to the point your ears hurt) and your pets will get extremely scared too. I have emailed about the extremely loud fire drill several times; only received a response once and nothing has been done about it.

Before I begin I would like to say that I never got a chance to actually live here but I thought my…read moretroubles warrant the right to shed some light on the management company that runs this place so you know what you are getting into. I visited back in April, and on the surface level everything seemed great. Nick was super nice and helpful and even worked to lower the rent. Unfortunately, as it came time to move in I had to break my lease due to work relocation. I totally understood that some penalties would be involved and my company graciously took care of those as well. But, the problems began when I was trying to get the 3 initial checks I mailed to them back in April (security deposit, first month's rent, amenities fee). The amount totals in the $3k+ range. I have mailed everything they needed on time and promptly. Not only did they fail to void the checks, they cashed them in AND the lease cancellation check. And now they won't give my money back. It's been a month. Might need to get lawyers involved to resolve this. Stay away!

I have lived here for almost 3 years and now reading all the maintience failure requests on here it…read moreis starting to add up. I have no had screens on any of my windows since I've moved in. I have 2 small children, one on oxygen and I've been voicing this concern and keep getting told "they dont make that size screen anymore".... which in result you'd think by now (3 years later) they would find a new window/screen company. My preception is they don't want to spend the extra money to get updated appliances. It is now the third summer without screens on my windows, so we cannot enjoy fresh air ever because there is constant bees/moquitoes/ any outside bugs. I understand we are in a woodsy area but then maintence needs to do better making sure we are safe and our children are safe in our apartments! About a year ago they brought me a USED refridgerator because my brand new one that the provided was over freezing, so instead of getting me a new one they gave me an old used one. I had to clean it myself and it has still not been replaced. But aisde from even that.... we've had a new issue arise where the HVAC in one of the closets was leaking so bad it we the entire closet carpet and they had to rip it up. 3 days ago, they came with a large fan and left it here for about 9 hours (Which of course we pay for electricity, so i had to call myself for them to come pick up the fan) they then put a bucket under to catch all the dripping water. NOBODy has came back since. I've had to emtpy this giant bucket of water myself for the last 2 days. Called yesterday, and again today and still nobody came. The maintince looks like its been out of control for over 10+ years, and I really do enjoy living here, so I hope they can be more on top of maintence requests and being considerate of the tenants and children.

Let me start by saying that this place is actually one of the nicer and newer rental apartment…read morecommunities to live in. That's the ONLY good thing that can be said about it. They have 2 bedroom apartments which have 2 full baths and central air and forced hot air with washer/dryer inside the units but don't include utilities such as water, gas or electricity. I've been living here since April 2014 and my rent was $1745/mo until i renewed my lease in 4/2015 when they raised my rent to $1765 and then when I renewed my rent this year in 4/2016 they increased it to $1805. So they basically raised my rent by $60/mo and yet whenever there were maintenance related issues, they either did nothing or took their sweet time to fix them. Not to mention my wife and I have been searching to purchase a home and asked the property to go month to month so they charged us half of what our new rent payment would be going forward ($902.50) in our case and again - when it comes to maintenance they do little to nothing! It's absurd how the property management treats their tenants. This is typical for apartment communities owned by Garden Communities as we lived at Knoll Gardens in Lake Hiawatha (Parsippany Troy-Hills), NJ prior to this place, though they actually included water and we just paid for gas and electricity and were a lot better with maintenance than Kinnelon ridge. Now the property maintenance/management staff is almost completely useless. There's a few names to mention here: Amal (office manager), Anne (Kinnelon ridge property manager), the "superintendent", Dan greenzweig (who's a complete douchebag with absolutely no respect for tenants and acts like he owns the property or something), and Joseph Frish (Garden Communities' manager) who's a toolbag with no concern for tenants' issues. Amal almost always has condescending comment for issues I've had. To name a few, I had Yellowjacket bees (or wasps?) in my son's room last summer when he was only around 8 months old and she thought it was "hard to believe" and when I told her I caught a couple of them, her response was oh well we have bees on our apartment too, it's normal to have them". Are you friggin kidding me?! I told her that if my son ever gets stung by one, there will be a serious lawsuit on their hands. So finally after a week of me demanding a professional exterminator to come and spray the building, she finally called. For that to happen, I had to speak to Joseph Frish, and he must've yelled at or threatened to fire Amal because she was pretty understanding about a few maintenance requests I made to her after that and didn't make remarks. I only had to deal with the Kinnelon ridge property manager Anne once but she didn't really do anything whenever I had to go over Amal so she was useless. The super - dan greenzweig - literally cursed me out when I was working out in the community gym one night around 9pm because I was dropping the weights too hard and when the gym closes at 10pm he comes out telling me to get the f#ck out and that he'll revoke my gym privileges if I didn't leave when I asked him if I could just finish my last set of exercises which was five more minutes. When I spoke with Ann the next morning about his disrespectful intense attitude, she didn't ask me whether or not he apologized but went on to tell me "well he lives in the apartment next to the gym (which I had no idea about and told dan that if I HAD known that, I wouldn't have been dropping the weights and sincerely apologized and got a response of "I don't want your f#cking apology just get the f#ck out), and has a one year old child." I told her well that doesn't give him the right to talk to tenants that way and she said we apologize for that. That dickhead shouldn't be working here with an attitude like that. I then told Joseph Frish that I don't want that asshole anywhere near or in my apartment and all his response was "well did he apologize to you?". I told him I didn't want his apology since he didn't wanna accept mine and told him he should be written up but who knows if he ever did. There have been a laundry list of maintenance issues that we've had and took forever to address by the maintenance & mgmt staff but I just don't have time to list them all out. One major recent one we've had is a bird got into one of the ducts in the building and it smells nasty from the vent in our bathroom which happened 5 days ago and Amal said she'd have a roof company come on Fri 5/20/16 to get it out but never actually called them and we've been arguing with Mgmt to get it addressed all wknd and we had because we come to find out yesterday that no one was ever called and the issue will be addressed on Monday. If anyone from Mgmt is reading this, you better not expect your rent next month for making us deal with this inconvenience! You're lucky to get 1 star, otherwise I'd give -10 if I could!! New potential tenants beware of this place!
