Apartment
January 2, 2026When I got this apartment heat was supposed to be included but I was not told that the boiler was not working, The maintenance supervisor told me to use the air conditioner/ heater. These units are not efficient and are only in the bedroom and living room there’s no unit in the bathroom or kitchen . I would have never signed the lease if the boiler was down! There is an open window under my kitchen and exposed to the elements and this makes my hardwood floors ice cold ! Cars park on the grass ...right next to my kitchen window. The maintenance department is a joke they do crappy work! If they come at all! I informed management and they said if I want another apartment that I have to go through the process again and pay a fee again. Ridiculous !! I definitely would not bring a family here it’s a dump!Property Manager Responded
January 8, 2026Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable in your home, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience you’ve experienced. While heat is no longer included, each unit has its own temperature controls so you can adjust your comfort level. We also offer free parking and a 24/7 maintenance line to quickly address any repair or parking concerns. The building is scheduled for additional improvements to continue enhancing the community, and we appreciate having you as a part of Brookside.

Do not
April 1, 2025Do not move here. I have never wrote a review for anything but I am hoping to save someone some burden. Roach infested, car was broken into, plumbing is terrible, walls are thin and falling apart, and the staff is extremely rude, maintenance will walk in without any notice. Please do yourself a favor and stay far awayProperty Manager Responded

Review from Apartments.com
Think Twice....
December 3, 2021The plumbing is terrible and you are constantly told that it is because the building is old. Maintenance also chipped our overly re-enameled tub when they came to unclog the shower, too. We had issues where the air conditioners leaked and any time it rained there were puddles on the floor. Rain would seep down through the window sills and mold would grow. They cut down a bunch of trees and were doing "upgrades" to some apartments where they were actually installing venting grates in the basements ...(I use the term install lightly as it looks like they were placed in the holes that the plywood used to cover but multiple times you would see them falling out of the holes and on the ground...) They never installed grates or provided any ventilation in our unit...ever since then the humidity in our apartment was unbearable. I went through countless damp-rids, humidifiers, fans, etc and we had mold growing in the closets. There's no ventilation in the kitchen or the bathroom. If you like to cook, expect to have a thin layer of grease go over everything, no matter how much you clean...it's disgusting. We had ants that no matter how clean you were or how many traps you set would always just be present....even in the bathroom! It was insane. There are cracks in the walls that really look to be structural that are covered up repeatedly by spackle. After Ida, we noticed that our bedroom floor was starting to shift. We lived on the second floor. We put in a service request to let them know of the issue. No one came. The shift became about a 6 inch hump in our bedroom. My husband fell and hit his head pretty hard because of the hump. We called and sent in more requests and no one ever came until on Veteran's day, unscheduled, at 7:40am I answered constant banging and ringing of our doorbell. When COVID first came about and the state was shutting down, we received notices about how they expect rent paid in full and on time.no direction of resources. But that's nothing to how they treated the poor residents who were severely impacted by Ida. No communication, they failed to evacuate apartments when the gas and electrical boxes were compromised, they posted notices on people's doors that their belongings were going to be removed with very little care at all. We also had to be evacuated the day before Christmas Eve last year due to a gas leak and did not receive any credits towards rentProperty Manager Responded

Roaches.
May 23, 2021Roaches and ants. You will be battling even if your home is immaculate. Not enough parking especially in the winter time. There is no vent above the oven or fan in the bathroom which is odd because that causes mold.Property Manager Responded

Don’t move here it’s unsafe! And they care more about money then the safety!!
March 1, 2021My family and I have been here two years almost three.. If you think your moving to a quite nice apartment complex you are wrong. Lots go on especially on Mercer street; people wielding guns, drug dealers and murders living under families. And the icing of it all is they say you can transfer for safety and etc and tell you once thing of information but then slap you with a bill that is uncalled for! They don’t care about your safety or anything just money; so again if you want to move we’re crime ...and stuff doesn’t happen or you see cop cars constantly Brookside that the place. The other complaint is the condition some apartments are in when you move in for the price.. is terrible not worth the money they charge!! Also they are terrible at snow removal that we had to email the mayor of town in order to get dug out durning the huge snow storms; again think twice before moving in!Property Manager Responded

Don’t walk away, RUN
February 23, 2021I've lived here for almost two years and have submitted over 18 maintenance requests, mostly for my own unit. The tub clogs every other month (facilities manager says I should just expect that to happen because of how old the plumbing is), I've had heavy leaks that have taken over a week to fix, and the laundry rooms are absolutely disgusting. We got a couple inches of snow yesterday and it was over before 5pm. Today I walked out to my car and none of the walkways or the parking lot had been ...cleared or salted. There are also paths that the didn't bother shoveling at all. Even in the best weather conditions, walkways at brookside garden aren't much more than rubble and mud, even though before I moved in I was told they were being re-paved. If it weren't for the pandemic, I would've been gone by now.Property Manager Responded

BED BUGS. Stay Away
October 9, 2020Absolutely the worst place I've ever lived in. Bed Bugs, paint chipping, busted heaters, flooded lawns, terrible parking. It's the worst and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.Review from Apartments.com
wouldn’t recommend to anyone
September 12, 2020I lived here for a year last year and was not happy with the experience. What I liked: The leasing office ladies were very nice and professional and responsive. The location is phenomenal, lots to do close by, lots of restaurants, you’re super close to the mall, everything you need is close by, post office shoprite, so many awesome shops are like a 4 minute drive. Some utilities covered. The winters were cozy here, it felt like a sauna all year round but it was really nice in the winter. ...What I didn’t like: Very old dilapidated kitchen and appliances. These places are not kept well or maintained properly. The stove tops are almost impossible to clean and their solution is to repaint it. Plumbing wasn’t great and it took a little while for water to drain from the sinks or bathtub. No attention to detail- everything was either repainted or refinished clearly in a rush because there would be hairs or dirt in the finished surfaces. My bathroom wall was not painted fresh when I moved in, which was noted during inspection. Once I was finally settled I asked them to come paint it and they refused. Bugs bugs bugs, centipedes silver fish spiders on a regular basis. You will definitely have to call pest control regularly. My apartment was across the street from the high school, so our parking lot would be jam packed every Friday/Saturday night during football season. And you would literally be boxed in by people attending the game, they do not care. Police were called several times, but to no avail, they acted like there was nothing that could be done. The most management does is have the school announce not to park there which accomplishes nothing. They also close off the street during games which makes coming and going a pain. The kids that drive to school used our parking lot all the time. Be prepared to squeeze your car onto the walkway to park on the grass. They kept most of my security deposit to paint the walls and wash the carpet. They said every tenant has to pay for that when they leave. I would not recommend living here to anyone. Maybe higher priced units or different locations are better but AVOID any unit near the high school, I.e. west orchard st. The only reason I moved in here was because I submitted an application to a few places, but this place required a deposit. During the tour they said you have 72 hours from the time you get the approval email to change your mind and receive your deposit back. I asked her TWICE to confirm this.Property Manager Responded

SHUT IT DOWN
April 3, 2020horrific place. shut it down. save up your money and go somewhere else.Review from Apartments.com
Avoid this place
January 6, 2020I have never not gotten most of my security deposit back from an apartment. Until I lived here. I take good care of where I live and never thought that I would have a problem despite all of the negative reviews of this place. They tried to charge me well over what I should owe. They also are extremely poor at responding to maintenance requests. I put in 3 for an issue that ultimately was never resolved. I moved out due to this issue.Review from Apartments.com
I will recommend you to not stay here
January 15, 2019They will cut all your deposits amount without any reason. They will take your deposit amount and renovate their old apartment. Don’t come here.Review from Apartments.com
