    The staff is very incompetent when showing apartments. I'm not sure if the professionalism varies…read moredepending on the Manhattan and Bronx offices but I went to 2 different open houses for their "luxury" rentals in the Bronx, the person showing the unit didn't know his a**hole from his elbow. Their sister buildings on the Grand Concourse are over priced and have ridiculous bills that more than half of NYC especially the bronx doesn't pay for. The Agent informed me that once my lease started I couldn't turn on the ConEd until the new year - FALSE All utilities are grouped with the rent until that time - FALSE The building has a contract with DirectTV so no other cable or internet providers are allowed in the building - True but retarded You have a water bill, YES YOU ARE READING CORRECTLY you have to pay a separate water bill -True You have to have a 750 Credit score - False it's the bronx people he should've known that solely on the borough And last but not least he quoted the apartment was going for $2500 - FALSE FALSE AND FALSE the listing was STREETEASY in plain site for $1950 The other open house had a very similar feel minus the water bill, credit score convo, and utilities grouped in with my rent. My guess is either the agent was brand spanking new, or he probably wasn't an agent at all just some random person from the office they gave the keys to conduct the showing, or the leasing office coached this idiot thinking someone will bite and they'll scam additional monies out of a tenant to pocket themselves for the holidays. This all took place back in Nov 2016. Regardless of all of the issues listed above I decided not to lease with Goldfarb all together since both open houses seemed very shady. #I'llPass

    WARNING: Do not rent from this realtor company! The apartment I was interested in was in high…read moredemand but I was one of the few applicants that was approved right away. After the apartment viewing I was ready to sign the lease with two exceptions (that fyi were not deal breakers). I constantly emailed my "leasing specialist," M. Tavarez that failed to respond to ANY of my emails. I left kind voicemails and sent various emails. I could not get a hold of him no matter what channel of communication I was trying. I then attempted to have my case transferred to a different specialist because he was doing such a poor job. She claimed to have forwarded my email to her manager but when I returned the call, my case was still under Tavarez. How hard can transferring a case be, right? I ended up losing the apartment because someone had already signed the lease. Tavarez failed to even notify me that the apartment was no longer available. I'm not upset that I lost the apartment that I wanted I am frustrated with the incompetence and lack of communication from the "specialists." I wish I had read the reviews prior to committing time, money, and energy into this company.

The building is very well maintained and has all necessary amenities. There were some things in our apartment that needed repairs however, upon request they were taken care off immediately at a time that worked for both the super and I. The super is very respectful and professional. I am looking forward to my tenancy at cedar, it is definitely a step up from my previous experiences.

    Thank God for good kind professionals who really care for the overall well being of their clients!…read more Last year 2018 was a very tough for me personally, as I know it was for alot of other people. 2019 rolled around and it took some time to pick up the pieces and start to rebuild my life but one thing that I was lacking was not having a home. The knowing the unknown is tough enough, especially when it comes to looking for an apartmentment in the tri-state area, not working, receiving weekly benefits from unemployment, which I'm thankful for. Having been approved for HRA housing voucher, I understood the guidelines, but I felt that I was in a delima. I feverously called and emailed Real Estate Leasing Agents throughout the city and inquired about the listings that were advertised on various online platforms. I can tell you the amount of calls I had made being upfront and honest about my situation which was hard enough to admit I needed assistance for what I was going through. A very small percentage of those inquiries that I contributed many long hours to reaching out to, ever responded back to me. Often,the response to the question that I was asking regarding to whether or not the landlord would accept the HRA voucher as a form of rent payment for the month was "We will have to get back to you and ask the landlord." Did I hear back from the agent, No I did not. Now here is where the story gets better, I promise! I also have a Real Estate/Sales back round from several years ago working in the city and I appreciate the hustle. I know in order to find the "Right" apartment you have to do some footwork. I so happened to come across a listing for a "Newly Renovated" studio in Pelham Parkway in the Bronx. It really was a beautifully renovated apartment, no lie! no blind adds, no cutting around the corner, no brokers with the vibe of we will say anything to get our commission. When I tell you that Jared from Goldfarb Properties was so knowledgeable about the building, spoke about the staff that kept the building looking immaculate. Jared also spoke about the local stores, and highlighted how close the listing location was to Manhattan and to the freeway. Jared took several minutes to explained the voucher process when applying for any Goldfarb listing. There is some documentation that you have to provide, but as long as you keep all required documents organized, you will find yourself headed in the right direction. What got me was that when I asked about the housing voucher, Jared had me ready to put in a application that day. However I wanted to make sure that things were going in the right direction for a job that I was applying for. Fast forward, over the next couple of weeks I went to several other Goldfarb communities in the city, and I was SOLD completely on their apartments...The thoughtful craftmanship when it came to the renovations, the trendy wall paint, the beautiful wood floors, every detail to the door handles are just elegant and modern. But I have to say, I love the kitchen! Boy I'm ready to start cooking again, and hopefully I will be calling one of the Goldfarb apartments "My Home" in the near future. Thank you to Jared, to Elsie, and to all staff who make Goldfarb one of the best management companies that is in NYC. Thank you to all, and have a Blessed Day Joshua

I'm very happy to have found an apartment that is not only affordable but spacious. We recently upgraded to a two bedroom because we needed a nursery room and both rooms are big with lots of natural lighting. The building is well maintained and the team is excellent at addressing any maintenance issues and other requests. The super Adriano and his staff are friendly and very nice people. The area is very quiet and there is always parking! You also have BCC, an elementary school and the fire department on the same block. The 4 train and Metro North are close but it is a bit of a walk. Otherwise I've had a positive experience living here and would recommend living in this building.

From the initial contact to present day, management has been very attentive to its tenants and the property itself. The apartments are spacious with plenty of natural lighting due to its location, apartments are well equipped and gut-renovated! the building is well maintained and more so now that they have upgraded the entrance with a beautiful garden and pathway that looks great during day and very bright at night. The area is very quiet all year round, and it's been a pleasant and positive experience; the super and his staff greet me every morning as I leave to work ... it's just great and I would highly recommend this property!

PROS and CONS! Pros -This area is in the Kingsbridge sections of the bronx aka the upper north west side of the Bronx. Your. About 10 mins away from yonkers which is the first city technically being "upstate". -The community itself is very diverse with lots of people from all walks of life and backrounds. from old Irish tradition to hip hip/jazzy vibes you have a little bit of everything here in this location -Kingsbridge arms is a co-op apartment complex with a full blown community room (100 dollars to reserve for the day up to 2am), full laundry mat with numerous of washers and dryers (closes 9pm daily) -Has 9 floors and each floors has its own garbage room so if your too lazy you can always throw your trash in that room. -this place also has a intercom system with security guards so you need to know what apart your going to and they each all know who lives in each apartment they each have their way of making themselves known to the tenants here! -again..... I LIVE here lol -walls are very thick do you cant here people business unless they are yelling or physically doing something loud! So you will feel comfortable sleeping at night. - did I forget to mention that I have a BALCONY!! -I live in a 3 bedroom apartment so it's a lot of room for a descent price! They offer 1br,-3br in this complex. -the workers here really do a helpful job fixing things and help situates your concerns quickly Cons -I have neighbors ~_~ Overall I love being in this apartment, it's quiet, people are respectful and nice and my apartment is more than enough for me to live my life.
