Not worth the price. High humidity in summer, drafty & cold…read morein winter. MANY spiders. Backyard area almost always flooded, seemed like there was probably drainage issues. Refrigerator is very low quality, the door shelves fall almost every time you open it. The stove is poor quality, only one burner works efficiently. No bathroom linen closets and no bathroom storage except under the sink. Master bedroom walk in closet is half the size it should be to be labeled as "walk in closet". Most luxury apartment complexes come and replace the furnace filters for you, not this place. You have to do it yourself and buy the filters yourself, which would've been ok, except for the fact it's a size that is not common at all. We couldn't find a filter to fit the furnace at all, none of the major home retailers like Lowe's & Home Depot had it, not even Amazon. There are dead trees around the property, one tree fell on our car & there was no assistance with the damages. We had individual trash pick up with bins provided by County Waste, then they took that away and put in a trash compactor, where everyone has to bring their trash down to the compactor instead of having it picked up. The residents should've been able to keep the County Waste trash service. Grounds were not fully manicured & paved. Parking not designed well, if everyone had a car in each of their designated spots, you wouldn't be able to pull in it & out. Property was not yet complete, yet they sent notices to the residents about increasing the rent. Maintenance staff were very nice, I do want to point that out. Area is quiet & private & you don't see any of your neighbors' decks/balconies, which is also nice.

So close to everything, markets, mall, easy access to major highways.15-minute commute to downtown Albany. Apartments were well maintained and very large for the $$$. The most important aspect for me living alone and being an older woman was how comfortable and safe I felt there. Never a hint of trouble in my 20 years there and Neighbors were very friendly. I recently moved to a warmer climate, but my miss the home I made there, it was a great place to live. If you are look for a reasonably priced, safe and comfortable place to live look no further than Hawthorne Gardens.

Our very cozy apartment is ground level, which comes with a few drawbacks (mostly that bugs find their way in more easily, and increased humidity = mold growing more easily). But the maintenance team is very responsive in helping manage these. These apartments were converted from an old folks home so if you're lucky; you'll get a wheelchair accessible apartment with some extra elbow room. The community feels very safe and friendly, walking distance to a variety of stores. Laurie (the property manager) is a sweetheart and will help you feel that you're right where you need to be.
