Brookdale Apartments

front doors slam because they can't be bothered to fix the stoppers. Many of the front doors don't even lock or close properly. But it's cheap and the location is decent as it's near the 163T & 162 if you work in NYC. That said, I'm getting out of here asap as I look to buy a house.

with the rent. This is frustrating!!

loud, but still enjoyable. I always find the parking spot for my car, which is free and safe, as well as the location of this apartment complex, situated in a cul-de-sac. As for the management, anytime I called to fix some problems, they came right away and the problems were fixed, besides being very polite and attentive. I cannot be more happier!!!!

here. Try and find a better apartment. If you look at reviews and it says anything about bugs in the last three years, run! I wish I had done so, then I wouldn't have to live in fear that roaches are on my things.

Management is fairly responsive and the grounds are maintained decently, but understand, this is not luxury living. It is cheap and conveniently located-the hospital, high school, NJ Transit bus stops, and multiple restaurants are all within walking distance. If the pros outweigh the cons for you, then proceed.

only, so if you get off from work after 6pm you are not gonna find a spot. A lot of cars with NY license plates. Just want to emphasize that management does not treat their tenants with integrity or compassion. I feel like a mere paycheck to them. There is nothing genuine or helpful at all when you reach out to them about having a problem, and they make you feel like you are BOTHERING them. I was literally told if I don’t like it I can leave. There is a thermostat in the apartment to control the heat but it works when it wants to . The turnover rate here is not surprising, In the couple months of residing here, there has already been at LEAST 11 tenants that I’ve personally seen moving OUT. Not a surprise. Overall, I’m completely DISAPPOINTED in having chose this management company’s property to move into, and I would not move here or ANY property that james e hanson management manages

the 24hr apartment hotline service to request that a super comes to help me get it out of the apartment only to be rudely told that the super would never come to do that. I was also told to get a mice trap from the dollar store and that 'maybe that would help'. A month later, the faucet in my bathtub came apart.This just tells you how old the apartment is and how they have tried to salvage it by replacing it with sub-par items. Prior to moving in I requested that they replace the entire faucet and tub and was assured this would be done. The only thing they changed was the faucet-- which as I mentioned above, fell apart after a month. I also cannot forget to mention that it took three months of me calling the super and management before they came to fix it. I was basically showering from a bucket IN AN APARTMENT I PAY RENT FOR PROMPTLY EVERY MONTH! The lack of concern by management was astounding. It took me having to threaten to take legal action under the New Jersey Housing Act for them to send someone to fix it. THINGS TO NOTE: - Terrible Insulation - You can hear everything from conversations, to when your neighbour gets home, takes off their shoes,drops anything on the floor, walks across the room,if their phones ring you'll hear them, you'll also hear them do the nasty nasty etc. - Fridge is old and makes sounds. If you ask for it to be changed they will send someone to come inspect it and he will recommend that it is working hence it is in good condition. Of what good is a working fridge if you cannot sleep in peace at night because of the noise? Is it a fridge or a generator? - Everything is old. Old AC, old fridge, old oven. I hope this helps anyone thinking about moving here as I was honest and would hate for anyone else to get duped like me. The long short of it is do not move here. I am definitely not renewing my lease here. If you must move here, be very prepared to deal with all the things listed above in exchange for low rental fees.
