I wanted to provide an update to some of the older reviews on South Orange Towers. My family and I went to see an apartment at this location today. They advertised it as a 4BR/2BA apartment, however, it is still, according to code, technically a 3BR apartment. They closed off the Dining Room and tried to pass it off as a 4th bedroom. However, by code, a bedroom must have a closet. The super told me they were renting the place for $1650, however, when his wife showed us the apartment, she advised me that it was $1750. When I told her the price her husband quoted me of $1650, she called him and they agreed to lower the price to $1675. Hmmm, three different prices for the same place. Now, onto the upkeep of the apartment. The repair work and paint jobs were terribly done. Poor craftsmanship which leads me to believe the other reviews about the terrible maintenance they provide for this property. I am also led to believe that the reviews about the rodents are true as you can clearly smell rodent pee as soon as you walk down the hallway of the apartment building as well as within the apartment itself. There does appear to be water damage on the wooden floors near where the heating units are. I also wondered how one could control the heat/air conditioning flow in the apartment especially when they painted over the control panel thus making it almost impossible to open without a screw driver. Even the super's wife had trouble opening the one of the panels. Some of the other tenants have so much junk stored out on their balconies that it makes the apartment building look like a slum. For a price ranging between $1650-$1750 you can clearly find a much better apartment building with better upkeep and definitely without that smell of rodent urine.
