One of the Worst Living Experiences I've Ever Had - Stay Away…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. Living at this complex has been nothing short of a nightmare from day one. I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others before they make the mistake of signing a lease here. INFESTATION ISSUES This place is infested. I'm talking mice, roaches, and all kinds of bugs -- and not just occasionally. It's a constant problem. I've woken up to mice running across my floors and seen roaches crawling across my kitchen counters and even into appliances. Despite multiple complaints and service requests, management has done next to nothing. Pest control, if they show up at all, is a temporary band-aid on a much larger issue. PLUMBING & STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS The plumbing is absolutely horrible. Leaky pipes, water backing up into sinks and tubs, and constant foul smells from the drains. I've had toilets overflow more than once with no urgency from maintenance to fix the issues. The water pressure is inconsistent, and hot water is not always available. NON-EXISTENT MAINTENANCE Getting any sort of maintenance help is nearly impossible. You can submit requests through the portal, leave voicemails, even walk into the office -- and still not get a response for days, sometimes weeks. When maintenance does come, the work is either half-done or they claim they "didn't find anything wrong." I've had to resort to fixing basic issues myself just to be able to live semi-comfortably. RUDE & UNHELPFUL MANAGEMENT The main office staff is not only unhelpful -- they're downright rude. Any time I've tried to raise a concern, I've been met with attitude, excuses, or just ignored. There's zero accountability, and it's clear that residents' concerns are not a priority. Instead of helping resolve issues, the staff gaslights tenants or blames them for the problems. GENERAL NEGLECT & LACK OF CARE The entire complex feels like it's been neglected for years. Common areas are dirty, trash often overflows from dumpsters, and lighting in parking lots is poor, which is a safety concern. Packages go missing regularly, and there's no secure system in place for deliveries. BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT MOVE HERE. It might look okay during a quick tour, but don't be fooled. Behind the scenes, this complex is falling apart, and management doesn't care. Save yourself the stress, the health hazards, and the money. There are much better places to live -- this is not one of them.

Paper thin walls and my car was broken in the first month I moved there. Staff is completely disrespectful, so I would feel a burden asking them for anything. Avoid this place.

They have recently snuck in multiple additional charges onto our rent. We are now forced to pay for "amenities" and in order to use our garages that are attached to our residence we must pay an additional $75. These garages have no locking doors and lead directly into the units. These have always been considered part of our domicile until recently. DO NOT RENT HERE. THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN UNITS, THEY WILL SNEAK NEW CHARGES AND FEES. WHEN YOU CALL TO ASK ABOUT THESE AND TO REVIEW THE LEASE THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THESE DOCUMENTS

New ownership/corporation turned this nice community upside down in a matter of two years. They…read moreare the absolute worst!!! "Maintenance" is non existent as is the "office staff". Good luck finding someone who doesn't lie. Nothing that comes out of these peoples mouth is the truth. I've dealt with 732 different people in this crappy corporation and not one has come through on anything. They raise rent and charge fees for amenities that aren't even available. Lived in this complex for 12 years, not one issue these "people" come along and it's been a complete nightmare!!! Allowed me to move into a filthy, rundown unit (after Mr Yitz Ostrow stated that everything that I mentioned needed to be done was part of the "turn process" turn process my ***), garbage is a constant issue, work orders go under answered (which may honestly be a blessing because when they do attempt to complete a work order, you would have wished you've done it yourself) Save yourself the aggravation and look elsewhere. Nothing positive about this community except for the people in it (residents).

Do not rent at Dorchester House. You will regret it! The condition of the apartments is nice, but…read morethat's about all this place has going for it. Over the past few months, the quality of tenants in the building has significantly declined. When we moved in, a detailed background check was required, now it seems that management is filling the apartments with anyone who walks in off the street. Noise levels have increased and people are hanging out at all hours of the night. Recently, there have been several car vandalisms in the lot, including one just last night, where all four tires were stolen from a vehicle. The building super is rude and denies any problems, but talk to any renter here and you will see behind the facade. We no longer feel safe here. Thankfully our lease will be up in a few months, and we will be getting out of here. Future renters - find somewhere else to live!

We moved in to Stone Bridge in 2013 when the apartments were first built and have enjoyed our time…read morehere very much. So much so that we just renewed for year three. Our two bedroom / two bathroom apartment with a den is bright and very quiet. The development itself is beautifully landscaped and very well maintained. We enjoy the fact that the community is gated with very little car traffic. It's a great place for walking, and Duke Island Park is close by if you want more space to roam. The clubhouse includes an exercise room and business center, which are a great benefit and very convenient. There is even a multi-purpose room that can be rented out for events such as birthday parties. There are two charcoal grills to use, and the outdoor pool is clean and great fun for the summer. The complex is within walking distance of the town of Raritan and trains to New York. Somerville with its great restaurants is just a five minute drive. As with any apartment, sometimes things go wrong, but we have always found the property manager Dawn and maintenance man Dave to be quick to respond and address any issues. All in all it's a great community to live in.

I would not recommend this company Landlord promised to remodel several times never followed through I've had rodent infestation for over six months it took several emails text messages to landlord and maintenance guy They don't respond and when they do it's weeka or months after the complaint The apartment was left with minimal damage and this landlord took $1200 from my security deposit for fees in which are absolutely overpriced and ridiculous. Every complaint for maintenance he will try to charge you a fee if it's found that you are the cause of the complaint. The landlord who is the owner of the con company is rude and disrespectful If you choose this person to rent from be sure to take pictures of apt or house before you move in and after you move out he will make up prices and fees just took take your money. I hope this company fails for poor customer service

She worked around my schedule and was readily available to show me houses at any given moment.

Throughout the process, she was extremely thorough, professional and kept in contact with me daily. I have found my dream home and a wonderful friend.

The apartment lease does not have any clause that the landlord will do the maintenence, so it is up to the discreation of the landlord to do maintenece even for minor things like fixing kitchen faucet. The local apaprtment manager is very unfriendly. Several times I called for minor maintenence and the local manager (Kathy) charged me for the maintenece claiming that the damage was caused by me. Eventhough this place is close to the somerville train station and convenient to commute to new york, I do not recommend this place to anyone. Now that I have moved out of this place, I am considering filing a complaint with NJ authorities. If you want to join me for the complaint, drop me a note at brendanc@mail.com -Brendan.
