I have made my home here for almost two years, just about to renew again…read more My time here has been very good. The primary reason why we have stayed is for the service from the onsite staff. Margie in the leasing office has gone above and beyond expectations to be there when ever I reached out for anything. Mark who handles all of the property maintenance is responsive an knowledgeable, if he can fix the problem, he goes out of his way to address issues when they have come up for me. While no place is perfect, I'd say the grounds are well kept, feel safe here and do recommend Cedar Manor. Best!

If there is any maintenance that needs to be done in your home they make sure it is done in a timely manner. Michael is very attentive, helpful and useful. He has been taught many different task and he completes them all. Mark and Michael work well together and they make themselves available to help and assist any of the tenants!! Who can not appreciate a smiley Michael coming into your apartment/house/town house assisting Mark. This last year I have seen the growth in Michael, he has become a Mark, Jr. (LOL) They make a great pair!! Thanks for all your help Mark and Michael!!!

We rented a furnished apartment for six weeks while my husband was undergoing treatment at Memorial…read moreSloan Kettering nearby. The apartment had everything we needed (they even accommodated us with a more privately situated unit as our dog has never been in an apartment complex) but more importantly the staff here honestly cares about their community! I lived in many an apartment complex in my 20s and has never encountered one got fosters such a sense of community and honestly cares about their residents... even their temporary ones! Any need I had (dishwasher repair, package acceptance at the office, etc.) was handled immediately and followed up with me after completion to ensure I had no further needs. As my husband is immunocompromised, we were unable to participate in any of the monthly events that they offer however, they beyond events that they put on to bring the community together (yoga every week, bouquet making for Valentine's Day, trivia night with snacks, potting & painting, decorating a flower pot and planting a plant into it etc!) I've never experienced another apartment complex that even has these types of events much less puts so much thought into them! The dog park on property was clutch as our dog is not used to having to be on a leash all the time ... so having an area where she can romp around and play was amazing! They also have plenty of grassy areas to walk within the property and dog waste bag dispensers all over the place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and And cannot say enough about the staff , their communication, friendliness, and caring! 100% would stay here again in a heartbeat!

She has always been very responsive and makes herself available when needed. I only had 1 maintenance request ever and it was handled within 24 hours, called after work one day and they were at my door first thing the next day to repair and solve the issue. Grounds are always upkept and nice and they stay on top of things when there is snow on the ground not just clearing it when it falls but cleaning up more during the day when there is less cars in the lot. Everyone I've meet here is very friendly and nice. I couldn't ask for better neighbors or a place to call home. Apartment I moved into was freshly renovated, new cabinets, new counter tops, new appliances, new deck. If you're looking for a place to call home in the area you can't beat when they offer here.

The property is well kept and I must say the residents pick up behind their dogs and they are always on leashes. My only quirk is that I moved in July 2020 and had to pay the $350 fee although none of the amenities that I was paying for were available, swimming pool, club house or fitness center. It would have been nice if that fee was waived for that time. Other, than that it a very nice place to live.

This is a difficult review to leave. When we moved in 2018 we were excited -- family friendly…read morecommunity, knowledgeable staff, clean community, prompt maintenance responses and repairs -- all of that changed when the complex changed hands from Avalon to the Grove. The complex is now mostly college kids who rev their loud cars at all hours of the day or night and have loud raucous parties that will keep an infant awake. The front staff has not been consistent and does not appear knowledgeable at all. We asked a question and received 3 different responses; they seem friendly until you move out -- then they become adversarial when you question a host of unexpected charges. There's no prorated rent upon move out despite the 60 day notice of when move out occurs. They charge additional rent the next month even though the dates on the lease should have been covered with that month's rent. The community has nice landscaping but you have to watch your step as people do not clean up after their pets along the grass and sidewalks. Maintenance comes at their own timing. We understand that they're short-staffed, and when they come they complete the job, but it can take a few weeks before the request is addressed and completed. For the price of rent, it may be more cost effective to rent a house. The conditions of the apartment are not worth the price. The cabinets have veneer that peels off revealing particle board, the plumbing stinks, and the toilet plugs often despite nothing solid in the toilet. This is just a review of our experience. Despite our bad experiences there are 2 superstars which were the light here: Ana Nieves and Zef, the maintenance supervisor. We are grateful for them.

They dont renovate the apartment good its just covered up. My biggest problem is how you can hear your neighbors i live on the 1st floor. My neighbors are active at night and since they moved in since March i cant get enough of sleep on daily basis, a young couple who is really loud. They slam doors and walk really loud at 2am. They used to fight upstairs sometimes till 3 am it took the management to do something after i came to their office 4 times and called 2 times. it took almost 3 months for them to say something. i Asked to cancel my lease and they said they cant do it without me paying for fees its not fair because me and my wife do suffer from not sleeping. And people dont pick up after their pets so dont step on that grass and there was a shooting not long time ago inside the complex someone got shot in their car. Not Safe.. I cant wait to move out in March. They raised my rent after all of that of $55 WOW!!.

Pros: The apartment looks really nice and the amenities are great! I have lived here for several…read moremonths and the apartment has averaged 2 events per month. The staff and concierge are really nice and helpful, they get 5 stars. The annual amenity fee is $500 and over time I see that it is worth it. The amenities are 24/7 except for the pool (which is 100% understandable and probably by law), but you can still lounge on the rooftop deck 24/7. The gym is a really good size with good equipment, lots of TVs, and even TRX. The 24/7 amenities was one of the main things that separated The Quincy from other apartments in New Brunswick for me. If I recall correctly our neighbors' amenities shut down at 10pm and other complexes' amenities don't add up to the Quincy. Location location LOCATION! The apartment location is perfect, you can easily walk to restaurants, lounges, clubs, the train station, theatre, etc. I really like the convenience and will appreciate it even more now that winter is near. Grey Areas: So in the past few months we have had electricity outages 1-2times a month. I'm not sure why but this is becoming the new norm. No wipes or disinfectant in the gym to wipe machines down after using. I have lived here for less than 6mos and have had 2 issues with the package concierge (This is moreso the package concierge and delivery ppl's problem not the apartment. The apartment staff has gone out of their way each time to help resolve the issues, again 5 stars for them.) The kitchen cabinets are not super functional because they lack depth...you only notice this once you start packing your items into them. There is no free parking for your guests so they have to pay and park in the street, or fight for future residents parking spots in front of the building after office hours (if they park there during office hours they risk getting towed. The apartment makes this clear so you know it's a risk) Cons: HORRIBLE SOUND PROOFING. I pay $2K plus a month for rent and can hear my neighbors talking in their living room, I hear every footstep from neighbors above me, dogs barking, every passing sound from the hallway, and I also hear when my neighbor takes a shower, flushes the toilet, talks in their bedroom, or has sex. I have already had several sleepless nights staring at the ceiling. I don't believe (most of) my neighbors are loud there is just poor sound proofing. (I didn't notice the poor sound proofing until people started moving in around and above me...so the 1st few months with no neighbors was lovely.) Also, I am fearful to make any noise or have confidential conversations in my apartment because I am certain that everyone around me can hear me as well. The dishshwasher and refrigerator are brand name but the basic version of the brand. This standard is not in alignment with the other appliances so no filtered water from the fridge (I believe some apartments have this and others do not). Furthermore, there are huge, old school hotel like, loud ac/heat units this is not central air. The units don't tell you the indoor temperature it only tells you what you can turn the temperature to. Also, these ac/heat units are a sore eye and take up space. My last con is the ever ending additional fees that you have to pay. Fee #1 $150/mo for one shared spot in the parking garage. Nope I'm not whining here. Hear me out. This parking garage is open to the public and is also shared with the businesses around us. So if you travel to work and are gone between 8am-5pm you will most likely have no problems with parking. However, I work from home and always have to drive several floors up in order to get a parking spot when I run errands and get home between 8-5 due to all of the non residents parking in the garage. Fee #2 $35/mo for valet trash. Sure it is nice to have someone pick your trash up Sun-Thur 6pm-10pm... however, your trash has to fit in their trash bin which is not enough space for a small family unless you take your trash out everyday. That sucks because now I am using so many trash bags. Also, if you have boxes you have to break them down and tie them together...what? No, writing trash on it will not do. I have often been frustrated and simply walked my many Amazon boxes to the dumpster to find absolutely no space for my items. Ok, last fee...Fee #3 other than your normal utilities and the annual $ 500 amenity fee (which is probably worth it) there is a $5/mo service fee for the apartment to pull your rent, trash, and I think your water bill together into one bill...this is not written in the lease and it's just an extra annoyance. PRO TIP: Ask the apartment about what type of dogs are allowed before moving in. Also, if you currently live here or have already signed a lease maybe consider noise canceling headphones...I am hoping to score some quality ones on black friday...smh

When our lease ended they found anything to charge us with, 50 DOLLARS, just for not wiping down the refrigerator which should be their job if new people are moving in. Told we HAVE to do a carpet cleaning so we hired people and paid 400 dollars, then at the final walk through they told us "it was a waste of time" because they were going to rip up the carpet anyways. Wasted 400 dollars and got charged 1920 even after having to pay a FULL MONTH rent even thought our lease only two weeks into the month. They are cheap, not nice people and we got charged with several small fees just because they found anything to complain about. I would not recommend it sadly.
