Nice apartments. I've been here for 3 years now and always treated with respect and friendliness…read more Unless it's an emergency, maintenance shows up within a few days, emergencies take priority as well they should. The only bills I have are electric, cable, internet, and phone. Gas and everything else is supplied. Unless you get pushy, management is pleasant to deal with. I have never had a problem with Linda. The complex is multiethnic and my neighbors are very nice and quiet. So far, I've had a very positive experience here.

I've lived in Wilkeswood for about 2.5 years and my experience overall had been mediocre at best…read more From outside, the apartments looked good with maintained lawns, family-friendly and pet-friendly sidewalks and decent neighborhood but the reality was far from that. They mostly had dated apartments with old appliances and very awkwardly built kitchens. If you get lucky, the apartment won't have bug or roach problems and good neighbors. For the price they charged the residents, the amenities provided were the bare minimum. Mine didn't even have a microwave (experienced it for the first time) It was common for residents to switch apartments every year. This was because 1. The management was notorious was increasing the rent by a significant amount every year. Every. Single. Year. PA state didn't regulate rents so the landlords were free to increase it as per their wish (sigh) 2. The residents hoped the new units might not have the recurring problems in the old unit. Please thoroughly vet the units before you decide to move in here. Wilkeswood might be located in a good neighborhood but might not meet all your needs.

I lived here when I was a student from 2015-2017. I remember when I was getting the key to the…read moreapartment I contacted the Dunmore Exclusives employee I had corresponded with and I met them on a street corner in Scranton for the key to be given to me, which was awesome. What do I remember from living there? Well I remember that it always seemed like the landlord controlled the heat even though I was paying for it. Like, they came and insulated the windows with plastic which was cool, so you would think the heat would actually accumulate in the apartment. Well, I would turn up the thermostat and nothing would come on. In the winter I would just hole up in my room with a space heater and chill in there. I was like 21 so expectations were very low. The parking lot was horrible. There was like this shrub that stuck out into the middle of the lot and when the trash would get picked up they had to back the truck in but it had to make like a 15 point K turn to back in so it was this comedy of this truck right outside my windows switching gears and having the back up beeper going at like 6AM. Some real Wilkes Barre shit. What else? Well I couldn't open the fridge all of the way because the kitchen was so narrow, I didn't even really register that until my parents came over and my mom was putting some groceries in the fridge and commented on that. The stove was fucking nasty but that was half my fault. Sometimes the water would be brown? I don't know, again it's Wilkes barre. My friends and I would smoke inside the apartment which I'm sure the other tenants loved. One time there was this bang, like a howitzer went off outside my window and shook the whole building and another time I woke up on a freezing Wilkes barre winter night, cozy in my bedroom with the space heater to a woman banging on the front door of the building next to 155 W. River screaming, begging, crying, and pleading to be let back in. They also didn't give me my security deposit back but my mom actually sued them in small claims court and won the security deposit back, just for the principle of it. For $625 per month I thought it was luxury!!!

I lived in these apartments during my younger and more vulnerable years - they were absolutely…read moreAWFUL! The outside of the building is nice but the landlord and his management team at Dunmore Exclusives clearly has a total disregard for their tenants. In the wintertime the parking lot is neither plowed or salted and makes getting to your car nearly impossible. The dumpster at the back of the building is rarely emptied and overflows with refuse. The coin operated laundry machines in the basement and the elevator are constantly out-of-order. My problems with the landlord and his employees started a few months after I first moved in. I informed the landlord that packages left for me in the lobby were being stolen. There is a security system in the lobby and the landlord could have easily reviewed the video surveillance footage and identified the culprit but he couldn't be bothered. Though there is a coded-entry system for the front door, the lock was broken on the back door and anyone was just able to walk into the building. In the last three months I lived at the apartment there were four different water leaks. The Wilkes-Barre fire department was at the apartment twice and couldn't get in touch with either the landlord or management. Everyone in the building was evacuated and the local news was there. I gave an interview to one of the reporters and things went from bad to worse at my apartment building. Management stopped returning my calls or doing any repairs on my apartment. A massive leak ruined many of my personal items and caused the ceiling in the bathroom to cave in. Despite my repeated calls, the landlord did nothing. A leak in my closet caused dangerous black mold to grow on the walls and this risk to my health was ignored. Things haven't improved at West River Apartments since I moved out. I read a story in the Times Leader where Leonard Piazza, former Luzerne County Election Bureau director and tenant at the building, complained about a raw sewage backup in the basement. The county health inspector was later called and the landlord, once again, pleaded ignorance. This is a terrible apartment building and no one should have to live like that.

"WELL, WE DIDN'T GET MURDERED!"…read more My man is a trip, but the surrounding sights were suspect for sure. The Marriott literally across the small street was horrific looking. Pretty sure that we saw a few drug deals!!! The hotel itself was very nice. Pretty lobby and a quaint outdoor seating area. Our room was BIG and boasted a full kitchen with plates and utensils, etc., cook ware plus a microwave. Huge bedroom and we appreciated the locking door. The bed was pretty comfortable but the sofa was yucky looking. My dings - the smell upon entering, was like cleaning supplies and a** lol. I noticed that the toilet paper compartment looked like an ashtray. Smoke while you poop?!! See my pic. Nice staff and an overall great visit.

I needed a handyman to repair sections of 2 exterior door frames that had received damage during an…read moreunauthorized entry attempt at my apartment and I wanted to pass the move-out inspection and have my security deposit returned to me without any deductions. I have to say, my apartment isn't in the best shape; the foundation is uneven, the walls within are crumbling and everything is being held together by duct tape... Brownell was quick to contact me. When he called, he was very informative and professional. He had availability the next day, so I received a fair quote and decided to move forward. I booked him for the following week and felt a sigh of relief. The day before the appointment, he called to confirm and even texted the morning of at 7am to say he was en-route. At 8am, he was at my apartment with everything he needed. I quickly showed him my problem and figured he would just spackle the cracks in the door frame and call it quits. Instead, he removed the damaged boards from the back door and replaced them with new boards. He even purchased white boards to match my door, so I didn't have to paint the trim to match the door. This door had been kicked in so the lock mechanism was missing and only being secured with a latch lock. I didn't feel safe the whole time it was broke. He fixed the inside of the door jamb and I could lock it once again. A few minutes later, I had to run to the laundromat, so when I left he was removing the trim off the front door. He called when he was done and when I returned, the front door was fixed perfectly! Because, part of the door frames looked so new and I didn't want my landlord to know there had been damage, so I used a tea bag to stain it so it looked dirty and tattered like the rest of the door frame. (it worked!) I really appreciate being able to support a local minority business, especially during this time. But more importantly, I wanted a honest, qualified and reputable business and I got just that! I had previously dealt with a different handyman who scammed me and a well known construction company who didn't provide the best service because my request was too small so I received sub-standard results... So, going into this I was skeptical and praying for a legitimate handyman. He was exactly that! I've passed his business contact onto everyone in my local area.
