I have lived at Barrington Gardens for a little over a year and have loved it! I moved to NJ last…read moreyear and Barrington truly provided the most "bang for your buck". We LOVED the updated kitchen, washer and dryer, large bathroom, Pet-friendly atmosphere, and well-kept grounds. This is a very clean, quiet, well-lit at night, and comfortable property. We were truly able to make it home and wouldn't want to rent anywhere else!

The place is decent and the people are lovely. Really nice neighbors. The staff is also friendly…read morebut I have been there 3 years and they've raised my rent each of those 3 years. When i asked the office about it they said that they can raise us 5% per year ( i didn't think that meant that they HAD to though) I understand that prices are going up everywhere but it's really tough to know that you can't count on a set amount for your rent b/c it's going to go up every year. Also my fridge makes an awful sound. I have messaged them about 3-4 times and they do send someone out to fix it quickly but the "fix" only lasts a few weeks , maybe a few months at best. At this point it would've been cheaper to replace it than to pay a repair person to come out multiple times. But for some reason they haven't done that. So other than the unsteady price and the noisy refrigerator I do like BG. It's quiet and the people are very nice. Oh, almost forgot, also not the fault of Barrington Gardens but the power seems to go out whenever the wind blows. Seriously, it doesn't take a storm, just some rain is enough. It goes out at least once a month.

This place is awful. Worst living experience of my life. Don't live here. Bugs, loud neighbors,…read moreterrible management. Kitchen was old and gross. Could hear every single thing my neighbor below me did. Heat never worked and I froze every night during the winter. AC unit had mold in it and you could smell it whenever you turned it on. Windows and back door never closed right and you could always clearly hear outside because of it. Snow removal was awful. Property manager would just let himself in randomly, including one time when I was taking a shower. Some units have moisture and mold issues, and I knew one guy a few units over that had to throw away all of his clothing and shoes because of the mold on them. The buildings and grounds were poorly maintained when I lived here. It was basically like living with my downstairs neighbor as I could literally hear every single thing they did, even though we had separate units. Just awful. House centipedes, large beetles and more inside the apartment constantly. Disgusting. Absolutely shameless property owners. Do not recommend

I live here, I love it, you can always pay much more for an apartment, however, this small, 52 unit…read morecomplex is so charming; with it's lovely courtyard and gazebo, the little patios facing each other across from the manicured grassy area, make for a quiet, secure place to live. The buildings were built in the 1960's s and the brick does show it's age, but that too adds character to the living arrangement. The units are oversized, and you faintly can hear your upstairs occupants, but the space is well built and noise is not an issue. The unit, I moved into, 1-1-2021, was fully renovated and well done. The Residence Manager, has lived on the property for 26 years and takes pride in his responsibilities and workmanship and it shows. This place is a wonderful little gem, and should not be overlooked. On a separate note, the upstair occupants are very friendly and respectful and I am blessed to have them above me. I look forward to meeting more neighbors as the season gets warmer and planting flowers around my patio space.

My least favorite thing about the complex itself is the safety in the parking area. The garbage…read moretrucks and other cars fly past the stop signs, I asked if speed bumps could be put in and I was told that they weren't allowed to do that.. they told me they were going to paint reflective words on the ground but it was over 2 years ago, and we've moved away since then. The laundry center isn't terrible, but know how to get out. I feel like it must be a safety hazard Bc the first time I used the center, I couldn't figure out how to get out (you basically have to wave at the overhead sensor so it clicks green to let you out) and I called my husband in a panic, while sweating. Someone came in finally and showed me how to exit. There are a few good points to the complex itself.. the staff is very kind, always friendly. They respond to you within reasonable time when a complaint or a request is made regarding issues in your apartment (ants, electrical issues etc). The lawn and upkeep is normally done in a timely fashion, and it's a relatively safe neighborhood. And not too much ruckus from the neighbors. It's dog friendly, though I wish they had an actual dog park on property. Ive also asked multiple times if they could use dog friendly ice melt, because it burns my dogs' pads of their feet. It's a dog friendly complex, it should have dog friendly ice melt. We lived there for 3 winters.. every year they'd throw the same garbage ice melt down and my dogs would literally scream in pain.. pitiful and sad to hear.. They have garages but apparently once you get one, you never let it go. There are multiple garages being rented to people who don't even live on property anyone and honestly I don't think that's very fair. There's only about 12 available for rent, so for 1-2 to already be allocated to the staff for their motorcarts and tools, 10 garages for the entire complex and a few aren't even for residents just doesn't seem right. The entire complex is also all electric, including electric heat. I have older dogs, so I need to make sure the heat is on most of the winter. Each room has its own thermostat, so you don't need to heat each room. We heated 3 of the 5 rooms and my electric bill is about $300-350 in the winter.. be ready for that. All in all, it's not a bad place to live.. it could be better. Your complex complaints go unnoticed but they are attentive to your apartment needs.

Girlfriend rented from this place for nearly 1.5 years and began a month to month lease after the…read moreinitial 12 month lease, paying $1425 per month. Janet, however is the most unprofessional property manager that JCM Living has employed. So much so that she had to contact her boss's boss - just to make sure that when we left (which was not only due to the wasp problem, but also the fact she was trying to illegally have her removed, even threatened to purposely withhold payment, so she could file an eviction proceeding, even though rent was always paid on time) - and furthermore, that she wouldn't be charged for the following months rent after she left, since she received an invoice for the month she wouldn't be there. Furthermore, Janet was rude and completely unprofessional, even when trying to leave the property. She even refused to speak with a current resident with legal counsel beside her - and acted completely immature while being questioned about lease termination. I would stay away from this property if Janet is still employed there. I do hope that this review gives insight to prospective renters, letting them know how incompetent the property managers are. Stay away. Rent somewhere else.

The parking lot behind my apartment is dimly lit, a complete sheet of ice, and if I forget to lock my car, you can bet someone is going to rummage through it while I sleep. People seem to like to use my dimly lit corner parking spot to do drugs, have sex and sleep for days at a time. Management's solution? "leave a note". I am looking to break my lease, since they are not holding up their end of the lease to insure a safe and secure environment.

I have lived in the Longbrook Apartment complex in Matawan, NJ for 2 years now and for the most…read morepart have not had any major problems. However, I have noticed that in this time, the living situation has greatly declined since I first moved in, which is why I am currently moving out. A lot of people enjoy the fact that they can have their dogs or pets. No one enforces any kind of rules to curb the pets. Nothing like running to your car for something and traipsing through something nice and smelly. I just recently had an incident where my ceiling leaked when it rained heavily and again during the hurricane. It appeared the water was leaking out of my living room light fixtures and down the insides of the walls. And I mean my couch was completely drenched, it wasn't a drop of water. Odd because I live in a first floor apartment. When I called for service, I was left a note that they came and took pictures of the water marks on the wall. I don't consider that to be service, per se. Also, attempting to get in touch with the property manager is darn near impossible without MULTIPLE tries. For instance, I got a rent bill that said I owed $0.00 for my last month, which I suspected was inaccurate. So I called the leasing office. Twice I explained my story and twice was told "oh, the property manager isn't here, call back when she is at such and such time". So I did - because the office wouldn't take my phone number to give this person to call me back when I was trying to fix their problem. And on the third try I got the elusive property manager. Never has someone been so unnecessarily rude to me. I understand people make mistakes, and I was just trying to cover my bases, no biggie. She treated me as though I was causing her a huge problem before curtly informing me I owed the rent and slamming the phone down on me. All in all, I wouldn't move here if you paid me to at this point. There are plenty of other complexes in the area that I assume are better maintained and possibly staffed with helpful people.
