His friendly personality makes it easier to communicate in addition to his dedication to fix all issues. His wife Florinda is extremely helpful with any issues related to the apartment! Other staff members - Arnav(Concierge) always assists with delivery concerns or reaching out to the management. And lastly, Miriam - Property Manager goes above and beyond to resolve any service or billing related matters. The apartments are beautiful and spacious and the quiet area comes in handy when I have to work from home! Love staying here!

But I will exempt Somerville Parc because of how I've been treated and my great experience staying there. I lived in Somerville Parc for about a year. I would not have left if not only for my son's school location. There are a lot of positive things I can say about this place. The concierge is always available if I have questions or need help with repairs for my apartment. I love how secure the place is but at the same time easy access for deliveries. A very pet-friendly place. Which I love! But though I noticed a lot of dog owners, they still kept the surroundings clean. There's also an indoor dog park. Very useful especially if it's raining. The gym, though small, still has everything you need. It's also a nice area to run outdoors. I had a smooth move moving in and even a smoother move moving out. I got my security deposit within a month. Just amazing! If I need to be back in Jersey again and need a place to rent again, I will definitely go back to this place. And recommend it to anyone I know.

For this area, it's good value for money. We lived there for 5 years in a 1br+loft apt…read more Some cons: 1. The neighbors tend to be hit or miss. I had good neighbors for the most part, but for some strange reason the unit below always attracted crazies. Often domestic violence episodes would break out at 6 in the morning and that went on for two tenant terms over 18 months. 2. Also neighbors smoking is a big issue and the no smoking policy is not strictly enforced. Also the pet poo is a problem as some tenants just don't care to follow the policies. 3. Apartment loft I had was a good bit of extra space, but couldn't be used for too long. I did use it for a year or two as office space and I ended up developing a low oxygen saturation problem (90 level) due to hitting unit proximity. So I strongly suggest to be careful about your loft usage unless you take the correct precautionary measures. 4. I had purchased their lease break (offered after 1 year stay with them) option to vacate at the 60 days notice, but in reality there were added restrictive clauses and I ended up losing 11 days extra rent. This was captured in the fine print of the agreement so legally they didn't do anything wrong, but I felt cheated. 5. Merging on 27 north is the ultimate pain you would experience in your life. Be very very careful. It's an accident prone merging. 6. We had 1 car vandalism in recent time so the safety is getting compromised. The management needs to do something. 7. A big rent increase every year. Greedy management. Some pros: 1. I think it's expensive, but good value for money. Apartments are in decent shape and when you account for all utilities its not the worst deal in the area as utility bills are modest and most other things are covered including internet/cable and even gym. 2. Great maintenance crew and groundskeeping. Also office staff is professional. The parent company and accounting are not that great and I didn't have a positive experience. 3. If you manage to get an apartment facing the preserve, then the air and light can be terrific. We had amazing time watching sunrise and sunset from inside the apartment. 4. High ceilings for the loft version! Would be tough to go back. 5. Lots of trails and walking options in the area. 6. Noise level is very low for the preserve facing apartments. 7. Pool and gym are decent before they closed it down due to covid. 8. Parking is not too bad. 9. Direct NYC bus outside the club house. Very convenient.

One guy that drives around in a white Tundra truck "checking things out" is probably supposed to but doesn't do anything. -You will 100% NOT get your deposit back EVERYTHING is very POOR QUALITY and from regular use. Don' even try to dispute or argue with them. Just save your energy. No logic in what they say ever. They are losing all of their customers and hold on to ANY MONEY they can. -Maintenance people try literally try to intimidate you as to why you're calling them and to stop wasting their time. -I know prices may be attractive, but you will pay in the end by feeling stuck being miserable everyday, and for sure your DEPOSIT you will NEVER see. ***I can name so many more things but i am afraid if I do, people will not read and find this post too long.***

When you call them back and ask, the male manager will literately threaten you! Very bad experience! Parking is very limited. If you come home later than 8pm, there won't be any common parking. The building is old. If you live on the first floor, good luck with all kinds of Cockroaches! The heating was very strong during winter and spring, and it's not adjustable at all.

I lived in this apartment for 6 years and I will miss this place. The super and maintenance guys…read moredoes a great job in maintaining the grass, parking lot, and apartment. If you have problems they come and help as soon as they can. When it snows they clean up the lot and sidewalks pretty good. The landscape is pretty well kept. It feels like you are quite at home with the trees, flowers, and green grass. I got to know my neighbors pretty well. They are nice people - students, singles, families, elders. It is a good mix. Also It was great to have a balcony and the laundry facility is right outside the parking lot. The location is also great for public transportation. It's 8 minutes to catch the Suburban bus by NJ Turnpike on rt18, 7 min drive down to New Brunswick train and about 10 min to Edison train station. Highland Park is a great walking town with lots of culture and diversity. You can walk to post office, grocery store, church, and restaurants. And also there are 2 parks to get some exercise - Donaldson Park at the end of the road and Johnson Park (bigger) 10 min away. The apartment is also within an hr from NY city, the jersey shore, and Philadelphia - plus or minus traffic of course.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Lofts at Helmetta and would recommend to everyone…read more Pros: 1. facilities are well maintained and super nice. the gyms, lounges, grill area and parking lots are always on point 2. staff is very friendly. Michelle was always really kind to us and very helpful whenever we had issues. there is no such thing as perfect and we did have a couple of ceiling leaks being on the top floor, which, is to be expected. Michelle, Jeannine, & the maintenance team were always wonderful whenever we had issues. replied to us right away and were able to resolve things almost immediately. 3. AFFORDABLE! i cannot stress this enough. you get everything you would living in a luxury complex but at a fraction of the price 4.plenty of amenities within the apartment like washer/dryer, dishwasher, hardwood floors, etc. 5. pet friendly! so many cute doggies to play with :) 6. park & lake right across the street! 7. the parking lot is always shoveled during snow storms!!!!! THANK YOU! Cons: 1. the train. obviously nothing that the staff can do about this one, but just something to keep in mind. the train does usually come around 10pm. it's really loud and will cause everything in your apartment to shake a little. we could literally see the debris falling from our ceiling because we had wooden planks on the top floor. it only lasts a few seconds, but it is pretty scary for pets and small children. manageable but i wish they were more explicit about this. when we first toured, we asked if the train would be an issue and they told us the train only comes during the middle of the day when people are at work so we would most likely never be bothered by it. this was very much so not true lol. 2. the pool situation. the pool is SO nice, but it's not particularly well maintained. the lifeguards are very young and don't do a great job of cleaning the pool out. you'll also find that the pool is packed every weekend, usually because residents are bringing a ton of family members and guests. I'm pretty sure there are people from the neighboring towns who just come to use the pool. not a big deal, but it can get pretty messy during the summers. 3. this may not be a con for some people but, it's not an ideal location if you enjoy eating out or doing things at night. getting good food is usually a minimum 15+ minute drive. there are no nice nearby bars. there are some decent food places pretty close by, but overall, not much to do in the area and you do have to drive a bit to reach main highways and roads. but, if you are looking for a more quiet, secluded apartment, this is definitely the place.

My fiancé & I lived here for about a year & a half. We moved in when it was brand new construction…read more It used to be a factory building years ago. We actually watched our apartment being built which was really cool. We had an OKAY experience. To let people in the building, a guest types in your apartment number & it calls the phone number you used to set it up. For example- my fiancé & I both lived there. He was away on business & I had my parents stop by. When they came, the call went to his phone while he was out of the country & there was nothing we could do about it. He just had to let them in. The pool rules are SO WEIRD. You have bands for entry but can't have guests. Hours are strange. No music allowed. Basically no fun allowed lol There is storage underneath the building but the amount of space you get is ridiculous. Don't bother try to store your Christmas tree down there because it won't fit. You can store your bike though, it kind of just hangs on the walls. There are carts available for residents to use to bring things to & from your apartment. There are only 3/4 for 2 entrances & you're supposed to bring them down back to the door when you're done but no one ever does. Imagine going to the grocery store, coming home to get a cart & there are none, so you grab as many as you can, get all the way up to your door & see a cart someone left in the hallway- ANNOYING. People do that all the time. When you get the keys you get an actual key & a fob. The fob is what you scan in order to get into the building, you use the key to unlock & lock your door. They also give you ONE key for the mailbox. Washer & dryer in unit- HATED both. The dryer always stopped when it shouldn't have. We got the Kodiak apartment design, which we liked because there was a little nook which we thought would be perfect for a sectional couch. We were told that the nook runs through the entire building because that's where the old factory's elevator was- pretty cool! The bedroom closet we had was sad. It was barely a closet. We had zero space for our clothes. The #1 reason we couldn't stay there, we outgrew it before we even moved in. VERY nice game room & community area on the first floor near the lobby. That's where we had our housewarming party- we had 70 people come!!! I doubt they let anyone have parties there after that LOL FYI The building is along train tracks & the trains are LOUD & sometimes run in the middle of the night & early morning.

When I first thought about renting here at the Eaves, I wasn't sure what it would be like, but I…read moremust say that I truly enjoy living here. I have been treated as if I were a guest, rather than just a resident. It's good to know the Eaves provides outstanding customer service and cares enough to guarantee that clients are happy with their experience. They also ask for feedback in a kind manner. I am always greeted and assisted by wonderful staff like Kathryn and Lincoln, and they also have a beautiful leasing office. The grounds are kept clean and tidy, and you will regularly see the maintenance crew driving around in golf carts doing various work. If I have questions, they never go unanswered and they provide you with an app to communicate with maintenance 24/7. Someone always responds and keeps you updated on your needs. On a personal level, everyone's actions show they really want you to feel comfortable and safe. For example, I was too sick this week to pick up new keys for my mailbox and Lincoln drove over from the leasing office to my building and left them in a cute green envelope with the Eaves logo on it. I would have been impressed with a key on the doormat so you can imagine how surprised that I also found a box of Celestial Chamomile tea there too with a handwritten note. It said "We are so sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. We picked up some tea for you. Hope this brings you some comfort. From your team at the Eaves". It's nice knowing that the staff cares and wants to make a difference. Not one person has an attitude when you need something, and they always remind you to continue to seek them out if you need anything. It's my first Winter here and the grounds are cleared regularly. There are speed bumps, so no one is racing around disturbing the residents. There are perks and discounts too. It's good to be home.
