We had a leaking AC Unit. I personally managed the leak for months because they would not visit the apartment and properly resolve it. They only addressed the leak when I threatened to stop managing it myself to avoid water damage. Also, the apartment was not in good shape when we moved in; I personally had to clean out the dryer because it was full of lint and not working properly. Our oven also did not work at all. I'm unsure how they missed these issues before we moved in. The most egregious case of negligence is when I reported a potential gas leak to Avalon's front desk. They called maintenance, who proceeded to do nothing! I had to call National Grid myself several hours later. As it turns out, there was a true gas leak. National Grid spent several hours fixing it. It was clearly a genuine safety issue and Avalon just ignored it. I will also add that Anthony at the front desk is unbelievably rude. He gives me an incredible attitude when I ask him questions in person. I am genuinely shocked they chose him to be the face of the company. Thais is much nicer. In my opinion, there are better places to live for the money.

The countertops are tall which works well for taller people. It is a block from the Mineola train station which makes it so simple to go into nyc. Overall I recommend living in this building.

I was a perfect tenant; paid rent on time every month and left the apartment in pristine condition when I left (got the full security deposit back). After leaving I asked for a letter of recommendation for the new building I'm applying to live in (out of state). Kathleen was nasty for no reason and refused to give me anything, claiming it was no longer company policy to give letters of recommendation. This would be understandable except for the fact that they literally require letters from other landlords for tenants applying to live in their building. Extremely hypocritical and selfish.

The Selby - 695 Merrick Ave, Westbury, NY…read more We had an amazing stay at The Selby! The property is very new, modern, and exceptionally clean--one of the cleanest in the area. While most of the units are apartments, a few are available as rentals, which makes it feel more like staying in a high-end condo than a traditional hotel. The amenities are outstanding: a fully equipped gym, game room, club room, reading lounge, and a beautiful pool area. The unit itself came with everything we needed, including a washer and dryer, fridge, electric cooktop, microwave, Nespresso machine, and reliable WiFi. The staff was also incredibly friendly and professional, making the experience even better. If you're looking for a comfortable, upscale place to stay in Westbury, The Selby is an excellent choice.

People as far as NYC or even Connecticut come to view its exhibits and its array of beautiful flowers, plants, trees , bushes. The store offers more than living plants.

I had the local sheriff's department ring my bell recently looking for a resident who had a warrant. -Maintenance takes a long time to fix anything because they are short staffed. -Management is rude and does not give a sh** about the renters. -MTAA railroad track noise is horrendous! -No one follows the rules at the pool making it unbearable to enjoy. (management sent an email but really does nothing about it) -The smell of pot smoking is constant. This is a non smoking community but management does nothing, except send an email. One positive is the location is convenient! Overall, I would highly suggest you look elsewhere. This community is way overpriced!

I'm leaving this review so that others do not end up in the same situation we found ourselves in at…read morethe Avalon GC. I have previously only used Yelp to support and bolster local businesses - this is the first time I'm using it to warn others. We lived here for a little over two years. We had to break our lease and move out early because, point-blank, I did not feel safe living here. The criminal activity is palpable - we have witnessed federal investigations, arrests, and criminal activity (e.g., graffiti on property). For reference, I lived in New York City for almost 10 years, and never saw this much crime in a concentrated area. After MANY attempts to reach out to management (I had to leave reviews, contact corporate, and customer care and got the run-around many times), I was told by the property manager that "crime is the police's responsibility, not ours." And there is your root cause, folks. When management truly believes that making people feel safe in their homes and investing in reasonable deterrents is not their responsibility, you get what we have seen over the past two years. No one asked management to enforce the law, nor have we asked for them to prevent unforeseeable crime. What we asked for, as a bare minimum, was some element of transparency and/or communication with management about the state of the neighborhood's security after seeing US Marshals, the FBI, and graffiti on garage doors alleging drug activity (separate, unrelated occurrences all within two years). This property asks for a lot of money every month in rent, but they 1) refuse to take any responsibility for instilling any confidence in residents that they are mindful of their security, and 2) obscure their management team so that the property management team are de facto ghosts - unreachable, and at times, without a name (yes, we were told that we could not know the name of the more senior management member when we wanted to discuss the implications of breaking our lease). When I inquired about the state of security in the neighborhood, I learned that this property does NOT perform any level of background checks on incoming residents (something that comparable properties do, and will provide information about), nor would they ever turn anyone away if a violent history had been discovered. Do with that as you will (also note that proposed and passed laws regarding housing discrimination on the basis of criminal history are currently only effective in New York City, and therefore do not apply in Nassau county. New York State's law does not list individuals with criminal histories as a protected class). It also bears noting that after each of the incidents of seeing federal law enforcement outside of our home, we looked up the activity on the Department of Justice website - the first time, they were arresting someone who had been convicted on violent crimes and the second time, it was someone who had a public record of gun violence. There is a lot I can say about the complete lack of management and incredible apathy the management staff shows about issues on their property, but I think at this point pictures say more than my words could. I have attached photos of things I saw outside of my own door in LESS than two years. All I can say is this: this neighborhood is not cheap. And it isn't insane to think that you'll have some kind of piece of mind when you're paying this much money to live somewhere. You won't get that here. There are plenty of similar buildings in Mineola and other comparable towns in Nassau County, with easy commuter access, that will at least demonstrate some degree of care for the residents' safety and be willing to communicate openly with residents paying rent. Go there instead.
