It maybe cheap to live here and there's a reason. At 1st I thought it was me just being bipolar but no other tenants have told me about their own experiences. Had I known I wouldn't have moved here.

This place is awful. Worst living experience of my life. Don't live here. Bugs, loud neighbors,…read moreterrible management. Kitchen was old and gross. Could hear every single thing my neighbor below me did. Heat never worked and I froze every night during the winter. AC unit had mold in it and you could smell it whenever you turned it on. Windows and back door never closed right and you could always clearly hear outside because of it. Snow removal was awful. Property manager would just let himself in randomly, including one time when I was taking a shower. Some units have moisture and mold issues, and I knew one guy a few units over that had to throw away all of his clothing and shoes because of the mold on them. The buildings and grounds were poorly maintained when I lived here. It was basically like living with my downstairs neighbor as I could literally hear every single thing they did, even though we had separate units. Just awful. House centipedes, large beetles and more inside the apartment constantly. Disgusting. Absolutely shameless property owners. Do not recommend

The buildings were built in the 1960's s and the brick does show it's age, but that too adds character to the living arrangement. The units are oversized, and you faintly can hear your upstairs occupants, but the space is well built and noise is not an issue. The unit, I moved into, 1-1-2021, was fully renovated and well done. The Residence Manager, has lived on the property for 26 years and takes pride in his responsibilities and workmanship and it shows. This place is a wonderful little gem, and should not be overlooked. On a separate note, the upstair occupants are very friendly and respectful and I am blessed to have them above me. I look forward to meeting more neighbors as the season gets warmer and planting flowers around my patio space.

Avoid Verdana Howell Like the Plague. This property was originally managed by a very competent and…read moreexperienced property manager. A little over a year ago the property management changed and the new manager is nothing more than incompetent, rude, racist and bias. Before I even begin you should see how all other reviews on other sites have been removed and no recent reviews exist because of the horrible ratings since the new manager took office. The new manager at one point stole my garbage can because it was left out for more than 2 days neatly stacked near my garage door. When approached she proceed to tell me how the garbage can belonged to the management company. When confronted with that statement and lease terms she claimed it belonged to me and was left in a common area. Some other eye openers under the new manager is her bias towards good tenants. Steal my garbage can but she cant enforce toys and coolers left outside. Not to mention that there is dog feces through out the neighborhood. When confronted on the issue I was told that they were taking care of it and fining people using a DNA testing service. When asked how they were testing it when its still sitting in the grass weeks later. Well you can figure out the answer and look on her face. The bias continues. The landlord who lives on-site and works without handicap utilizes a family members handicap placard to utilize handicap spot right next to her apartment building. Additionally since they have an additional car she took it upon herself to create her own reserved spot so she doesn't have to find a spot like other paying tenants. Oh did I forget to mention she has a garage and driveway too? Now it gets even better. She will harass tenants that she dislikes or anyone that challenges her. For example I had an issue with a tenant that was smoking on the deck which prevented me from using my windows and balcony. What did she do? Nothing. I had to begin a lawsuit against my neighbor and the management company. What do they tell me? I'm correct she's violating the lease but there is nothing they can do. In the meantime the neighborhood continues to become nothing like the "Luxury Lifestyle" they claim to provide. Tenants violate the lease by hanging laundry out side, even one neighbor has had a red cooler sitting outside for over 2 months with no action from the landlord. Whats more while there are rules about glass bottles on the pool deck and visitors having to pay the landlord takes no action. Meanwhile while my mother came to visit and simply sat with me on the pool deck for less than half an hour she checked the cameras and instead of confronting me and asking me to purchase a pool pass kindly. She used the lifeguard to come over and tell me "that one of you must leave or purchase a guest pass." This was beyond the scope of the lifeguards job and completely immature and unprofessional of a property manager. I wish I could say that this was the end of my long review however this gets even more controversial when the property manager takes it upon herself to spew her personal opinions about creed, race, sexual orientation or feminism on social media related to the property which has been documented to the point that she has since made her social media accounts private. Seems to me she doesn't read the news to the likes of Travis K, or Justine S. Now the best for last. The state of New Jersey requires licensing of all property manages that show and lease any rental property in New Jersey. To date since her assistant quit because of the amount of potential lawsuits. She has continued to manage the property, show residences without any realtor license, salesperson, broker/salesperson. For any critics please feel free to check the NJDOBI database yourself. This is a property to avoid until the current manager a relieved of her duty and the management company understands that not only is she a liability but the amount of people compiling information to file a lawsuit behooves them to remove her from managing the property.

Even though I am eligible to live in a 55+ community I don't want to. I want to have neighbors with kids, young and old. I love to chat with people of all ages out walking their dogs. Smiles and waves from from the people you pass is the norm here. The office & maintenance staff take the best care of you possible. Every interaction begins with a broad genuine smile from them and an honest attempt to meet my requests. Sure they have rules to follow, but that keeps chaos at bay and creates the lovely community we have here at Verdana of Howell. Come join us and make it even better. Ps. If you are grump, you will hate this place. I'm sure you can find a place you'll be better suited.

I moved into Gillette Towers over a year ago and I have to say that I am very happy to be living in…read morea safe, clean and well maintained environment. The building is very welcoming and it feels like home. When the property manager, Melissa, showed me the apartment I said, "I want it." It had a positive vibe as well as the whole building. It is in a great location with access to stores, highways, parks and it even has an adorable dog park. It's sad that some of the residents with dogs don't abide by the rules with keeping dogs on leases or cleaning up after them. It's a shame that the property manager has to put out call blasts to remind the tenants with dogs to remind them of the rules. The management team is always on top of ANY issues with ANY concerns from the residents. They address them immediately. Unfortunately, some residents don't abide by the rules set in the contract and these are the people who write negative comments. During the last 2 snow storms, Gillette Towers did an exceptional job with cleaning the sidewalks and parking lots. It's a shame that Melissa had to send out several call blasts to the tenants to move their cars so that the lots can be cleaned. It's sad that a few tenants didn't comply and the plows had to work around them. Andy and his team were out during the blizzard during the night keeping up with the piling snow. They did a magnificent job and the best to their abilities. There was a flyer in the lobby if you needed your cars cleaned for a small fee if you weren't able to do it. It's not Andy or Tim's job to clean your personal vehicles. Andy is an amazing maintenance man. He is always friendly and kind. Andy and Melissa always greet everyone with a smile and warm pleasantries. There is no favoritism here. Anyone who has any negative words about this team are the ones who don't like RULES!!! Gillette Towers is a great place to reside. The residents are nice and the buildings are quiet. There's no loud parties, just peacefulness. I highly recommend Gillette Towers to anyone who is looking for this kind of living environment. All I can say is GIVE respect and you'll GET respect. It's a two way street. Peace and happiness to everyone.

From the moment I moved in, it has felt like home in every sense of the word. The apartments themselves are beautiful, comfortable, and well-maintained--perfect for creating a space you genuinely love coming back to every day. What really sets this place apart, though, is the incredible staff. Melissa and Andy go above and beyond in every way. They are not only professional and responsive, but also genuinely kind and caring people who make residents feel valued. Any time I've needed assistance, they've handled everything quickly and with such a positive attitude--it makes a huge difference. The overall atmosphere here is welcoming, peaceful, and truly feels like a community. I absolutely love living here and would highly recommend Gillette Towers to anyone looking for a place that feels like home while being supported by an amazing team.

I moved to Lakewood in late 2017 but several months ago started dating a gentleman that still lives at Primrose Place. The other night I was hanging out in the Women's Spa and this nasty woman rushes in and asked if I lived there, I told her I used to live there and she told me I had to leave or else she was going to call the Police. I tried to tell her I was waiting for someone but was not given the opportunity to do so. Yes, I have been there a lot as I work in the area and stop to see my friend either on my way to work or after. She said if she saw me again she would call the Police. This is no way to treat a former resident and no way to treat a guest. Just terrible and her friend and her coming in and pretending to look for another friend, get your facts straight before accusing someone of trespassing.

When i asked the office about it they said that they can raise us 5% per year ( i didn't think that meant that they HAD to though) I understand that prices are going up everywhere but it's really tough to know that you can't count on a set amount for your rent b/c it's going to go up every year. Also my fridge makes an awful sound. I have messaged them about 3-4 times and they do send someone out to fix it quickly but the "fix" only lasts a few weeks , maybe a few months at best. At this point it would've been cheaper to replace it than to pay a repair person to come out multiple times. But for some reason they haven't done that. So other than the unsteady price and the noisy refrigerator I do like BG. It's quiet and the people are very nice. Oh, almost forgot, also not the fault of Barrington Gardens but the power seems to go out whenever the wind blows. Seriously, it doesn't take a storm, just some rain is enough. It goes out at least once a month.
