I've lived in Royal Gardens for several years ..it used to be great place to live until they changed ownership. These new landlords are the worse !.. It's maximum yield at minimum cost.!!!!.The dumpsters are old and dilapidated garbage everywhere. The apartments are old and are in dying need of repairs and updates. They make very little repairs with the cheapest of materials. The maintenance staff use to take care of your request within a day or two now they might show up after 3-4 weeks and sometimes not at all.... facts are maintenance requests piles high in the office!!!... my neighbors and I have been waiting for the painters for months..the landscapers makes an appearance once or twice a month....curb appeal is the worst among the other properties in the read more

THE WORST PLACE TO LIVE, wouldn't even give it a ONE star .. it's such a terrible health hazard, the maintenance in this complex are so lazy, they don't do anything but drive around in there golf carts all day, the complex is infested with roaches and mold. can't seem to understand how the health department hasn't shut this place down. You can hear anything right threw the walls, Hard to sleep at night because of that, There are police officers constantly in this complex because they have break ins all the time.! It took them so long to fix a whole i had in my floor going into the basement i guess they didn't feel like that was important, save your self the headache and don't move here, i won't be surprised if this place gets shut down.. read more

I have lived in 4 Piscataway apartment complexes in the past 5 years. 2006 - 2012: Carlton Club Apt (1 bedroom) 2012 - 2013: Plesantview Apt (1 bedroom) 2013 - 2014: Plesantview Apt (2 bedroom Townhouse) 2014 - 2015: Royal Gardens (2 bedroom) 2015 - 2016: Aspen Court (2 bedroom with den) My most pleasant experience was with Royal Gardens. My worst experience was with Pleasantview. Pros: Maintenance!! The dishwasher bigger than the other apts. This maintenance staff is AWESOME. They don't try to patch things up. They FIX things. I had to call a few times; laundry machine died, AC was spewing black dirt when we first moved in, birds created a nest in my kitchen vent, son clogged the toilet. Every time, they fixed the problem. The rooms are spacious. Lots of closet space. Pros / Cons: Amira, the manager is pretty helpful too. When her incompetent front office staff gives you incorrect information or doesn't follow through with what they said they would do, Amira gets things taken care of. I had nice neighbors. Yes, some Saturday's I could hear their music playing if I didn't have my TV on but it did not bother me as they never put it on ridiculously early or late. Plus, I could only really hear it if I was in the living room / kitchen. Not from the bedrooms. Cons: The laundry machine is on the small side and the cabinets are a little outdated. Overall, GREAT place to live. I only moved out because my fiancee and I needed 3 rooms. read more

SO UNPROFESSIONAL ITS SAD ! I was scheduled to do a tour of a one bedroom apt on a Sunday. I called the leasing office the morning of to confirm my 1pm appointment but no answer, so I left a message. I still proceeded to go to my appointment since it was already scheduled in advance . I get there on time, call about 3 times in a 1 hr time frame and leave voicemails but I get nothing . Not even a call back . Mind you, the office is open until 6pm on Sunday's . It's unfortunate you guys lost out on a potential resident because your leasing office is so poorly managed. read more

I've been waiting until I finally moved to review this place and now the time has come! To start, the only good thing this apartment complex did for me was make me very aware of what to look out for in the next place. So here I go. First experience was ok. Met the ladies at the office. They all seemed nice. My first red flag though should have been with the MANY residents that came into the office to complain about maintenance issues. It was pretty clear that the people in the office were just saying what they needed to blow off their concerns. Didn't pick up on this originally. We went to look at the sample apartment and it was super clean and nice. New appliances, shiny floors, etc. We loved it and decided good to go. Signed. Easy process. Have to set up pseg. They gave me address A as my new address. I set it up only for a week later for them to tell me they've changed the apartment so I need to update that. Minor inconvenience but I did it. Move in date rolls by. They tell me the keys will be ready at noon. I go to pick them up only for them to not be able to find the keys. I have to spend over an hour waiting for maintenance to go change the locks and make a new set of keys. Finally get to see the apartment we'll be moving into and it is not at all like the sample. Learned to always tour the apartment you'll be renting. The sample one had new appliances and shiny floors. The one we got had crooked closet doors, bad paint job, old, used, and really badly maintained appliances. The stove had dried paint all over it like they tried to cover up the age of it. The white fridge was covered in yellow stains. At this point it's too late to complain and we have no where to go. We start moving things in and hope for the best. Next day, we go to cook, they never turned on the gas. It's after maintenance hours so I get the run around and have to wait two hours to be able to cook. Maintenance on site - check off the list for something I made sure of in the next place. The guy who stopped by also mentioned how if we have a problem with our neighbor in the back to call the office. That the previous tenant had an issue. So they already know the neighbor is an issue and do nothing about it. Great. I've only been there two days. I have no issues. Yet. The next thing I learned: always go check out a complex at different hours of the day. Someone tried to break into our apartment through the back door. If it wasn't for our dog, they would have came in. He scared them off. There are abandoned cars out in the parking lot that they took forever to tow. There was one van out front that had clearly been broken into (they broke the glass). The owner abandoned the car there. Again, the complex did nothing. Several neighbors play loud and obnoxious music at all hours of the night. No one does anything. The neighbor out back, the one they knew was an issue, would save their parking space in the back by placing crap (a cooler, a dolly, his stupid fat ---- gf - she's huge!). I was never able to park a foot away from my rear door because he would always have it "saved." He was also the one who'd play music at all hours of the day. We constantly would have people come up to us asking for money outside. Druggies and junkies and people straight up selling stolen stuff. It was not safe. Always go check out a place at night. Back to the actual apartment: there were bugs. Eventually we had mice. The one bedroom would not cool down. In the summer, it was unbearable in that room. The other one has AC so no issues there. There was a leak from the ceiling in the bathroom that was never fixed. There was something living in the wall. You could hear it crawling, no one did anything. Matter of fact, pretty sure no one believed me. It was a critter, a squirrel, possibly a raccoon. Idk but it was there. One day the smoke alarm blew out. It sparked and nearly fell on my head. The bedroom door fell off the hinge. When I told them, they thought I meant the closet door and didn't fix it. They said they had to order a door and would get it next day. They did not. Took weeks. At some point I called and asked for the door to at least be removed. It was hanging off one screw and it was a safety risk. They did not come or fix it. So I took it upon myself, unscrewed the door and left it outside for them to move. I wasn't about to have it fall on me or my dog. They never mow outside. It's very rare and if they do it's only up front - you know, the area where new potential tenants can see. Don't believe me? Take a walk to the property line between royal gardens and Princeton gardens. There is a clear difference between maintenance and care in the two. Consider that before moving here. Overall, we did not feel safe in the area with the broken into cars, low maintenance, and ------ service. Neighbors are crap as are the office folk. Good luck if you ever need to get clarification on what you owe. They bounce you around between corporate and the leasing office, ev read more

Horrible. Don't even try. Management is incompetent, staff is rude and unprofessional takes forever to get them to come fix anything. They don't even answer their emergency number after hours. We waited 3 weeks to get an AC replaced bc ours wasn't working in the middle of summer. Not worth the price. Cockroaches and mice. Save yourself a headache and your money and go elsewhere! read more

It is the worst place to live in. I moved to this apartment 6months back and from the day I moved in I am facing different maintenance issues in house I don't get any maintenance on time. Worst part was bathroom sealing falling down all of a sudden and they repair it with polethene cover saying it is weekend. We have to use the washroom covered with cover for 2days. Leasing office team is sooo rude that we don't even want and talk to them. They simply calls for pest control even though there are no pests and charges us as part of maintenance. I am giving 1 start as I don't have option to give zero stars. Definitely not going renew the lease and doesnot recommend any one to walk in. read more

Nice location. Close to highways, shoppes and restaurants. Schools nearby and also within 5 mins from Rutgers University for those seeking a short commute to the campus. read more

Where to begin? There's roaches no matter how much you clean. There's heat that's controlled by something other than the person trying to use it, it turns on full force random times and when you need it it doesn't work. There's birds and squirrels and raccoons loudly living in the walls. There is zero snow maintenance in winter and constant garbage and broken glass in the streets. The bathtubs are painted on the bottom so over time theres endless paint chips floating around clogging the drain. The toilets clog and overflow at least once a week as well as the bathtub. The washer unit began to leak on our downstairs neighbor so we were told not to use it. Nobody came to fix it for 2 months so we spent money and time going to a local laundromat. That's the thing- nobody fixes anything, nobody responds to your concerns. Maybe if they hire more than 2 women to work the front office and meet the needs of hundreds of residents the front office wouldn't be so nasty and completely inattentive. They do nothing but give you the run around and give the attitude that you're annoying them and they're just too busy to take your call. It comes to the point that you just don't deal with them and pay out of pocket to exterminate bugs or buy a heater or literally go somewhere else to use the bathroom. They even applied someone else's check to our rent so it was lower one month and then 8 months later they realize they made a mistake and we're supposed to come up with extra hundreds of dollars on the spot. They are unbelievably unorganized, we took videos of ourselves submitting documents and our keys to their mailbox because they turn around and lose everything and blame you. And FYI you're paying for water and garbage removal and a few other service fees so add another $100 to your monthly rent. Do not live here! Oxford Realty and the whole Royal Gardens staff should be ashamed of this dump and their unprofessional behavior. read more

I moved in Royal Garden I'm November of 2019 it was really nice at first I didn't have any complaints.. Then the nightmare began in January my son was picking up a toy from beyond his bed and came running out screaming because he had seen a bug at first I thought he was trippen and finally it showed it's self it was a a fuckin roach my apartment is very clean I clean everyday so there is no reason we should have anything so we killed it then called the front office who said they put in a work order which I thought they did cause I didn't see anymore. February Comes I go to my bathroom to take my makeup off for the night I open my bathroom a cabinet and there is one the size of my thumb in my Cabinet I freaked all the way out turned around and there was another one in my living room these roaches are huge these are no regular roaches these things are like mutants and after this I called again to the office no one answer called back or anything I sent emails with pictures still nothing until I went down there and they tried to tell me I was was seeing water bugs I know what a water bug is and they had me fucked up once a again a work order was put in they said they were coming so I waited I seen another one so I bombed my apartment 6 times and it was like 20 dead roaches after so I'm like they couldn't have came if my bombs from Walmart killed them mind you this whole time I'm not sleeping in my apartment because me my son are terrified of bugs I'm getting rooms and driving a hour away every night to stay with family and telling them. I shouldn't have to pay rent for somewhere I can't stay . Every time I literally walked in my apartment I seen one dead after cleaning them up meaning they were still there finally I come home one day and I see a invoice from the exterminator saying they can march 18 so basically every other time they never came. So I'm still not fully back in my apartment yet I just feel as though I need to bomb one more time just to know that are gone I'm sure they won't stay gone because they didn't exterminate my neighbor up stairs apartment I wish I had read reviews about this complex before I moved there this has been a nightmare . I don't recommend anyone to move to royal gardens they want you to pay your rent to live with big ass roaches big ass black spiders and all... Roaches are the size of a apple ear bod case in length read more

Horrible place to live.I would not recommend nobody to live here.They don't get their apartments inspected by the City Hall.Because it will cost them to have it inspected.No telling how long these apartment have not been inspected.Since they don't take care of these apartments well enough.Bugs infested with water bugs,crickets that look like big spiders,roaches,and ants.False advertisements and moving tenants in a damage apartment.But yet they'll make sure the grass is cut perfectly lol.Yet they charge a arm and a leg for these apartments like they are luxury apartments.When they are nothing more than apartment complexes.More like the projects to me lol.They need to remodel these apartments and bomb them for the bugs in tenants apartments.Somebody need to report them to the City Hall too.Slumlords are everywhere even in Piscataway,NJ read more

I email Pamela (The rental Agent) on February 7,2021 to inform her about the cockroaches in my apartment.I got no reply back.The Rental Agents here are basicly using these apartments to test tenants to see what the tenants will do if the rental agents ignore their request.Basicly the Rental Agents want tentants to live in these apartments with cockroaches while they charge $1815.00 a month to live here for 12 months.The apartments are infested with cockroaches due to Management and Maintenance's lack of caring to clean and exterminate the basements due to flood.Royal Gardens can exterminate the apartments all they want.No matter what they will still have bugs in tentants apartment.How can Royal Gardens exterminate the apartments when the cockroaches are coming from the basement.This is not how you get rid of cockroaches.You start from where the cockroaches are coming from.Also that cheap glue is not good for an infested apartment or an infested basement.The basements need to be cleaned and bombed to get rid of cockroaches.Since they wanna ignore me.I will report all the violations in my apartment on February 10,2021.Thank you Royal Gardens for your continue of bad service for the New Year of 2021.I am so glad I have permission from my caseworker to break my lease from this horrible place to live read more

I have been to this apartment community last week and had very bad experience with the management.Their model apartment is no doubt very well maintained with upgraded appliances as seen in the pictures..But once you visit the actual apartment buildings its HORRIBLE you will feel like you are in 1920s very old construction and old/broken appliances.Everything seems to fall down if someone walks on the upper floor. They will try to trap you by using their marketing/sales skills. Be very careful before signing a lease and make sure you see the actual apartment first.Else you will loose your deposit and they don't even bother to pickup your call or give you a call back.Over all very poor service level. Good luck folks with your apartment hunt. read more

This place was nice to begin with but over the course of the year my family and I resided here we began to find roaches in the kitchen. My family and I keep a clean house and have never EVER had an issue with any type of infestation. Upon telling Maintenance, they sprayed the kitchen three times, telling me that they were not roaches but "water bugs". Come to find out which indeed is just another name for roaches. The problem was never solved and maintenance was very nonchalant about the issue. Which leaves me to believe this happens often in these apartments. Pretty disgusting. read more
