Resident 2017 - 2021

Lived here for four horrible years. I have very little if anything good to say about Towne Oaks and the management. First of all, the place always looked filthy. The neighbors were loud, left garbage out on the steps, and smoked in the apartment which… See More >

    There isn't much good to be said about Town Oaks. We'll start with the positives. The super, Freddy, was genuinely helpful and a great guy. Whenever there were issues (and I didn't have many), he'd come over quickly and resolve them on the first attempt.… See More >

        This complex has more negatives than positives. For starters, my apartment was so poorly insulated that during the fall/winter/early spring months I had to turn the thermostat up to the high 70's which ended up KILLING me in utility bills, but I would rather pay… See More >

          From the moment the agent showed us the apartment, I felt comfortable and well attended to. Our ground floor apartment is spacious, and the bathroom and kitchen are new. The hardwood floors throughout are well-kept, scratch-free and don't scuff at all, which is… See More >

              Thanks for the nice feedback! We especially appreciate your comments on our great Superintendents. Both Freddy and Jose work really hard to keep the apartments and property maintained and we will pass this kudos on to them.

                Dear Tenant... Based on the complaints listed here, we do know that you contacted the management office and we believe that we have worked hard to promptly address your complaints. Regarding the lady upstairs... you are right! The problem was that she did not have the require rugs down on the hardwood floors, which made walking sound quite loud. She has since covered her floors and everything is much quieter. Regarding the incident of the drain backup, we thank you for bringing this to our attention. We had our plumber make an important repair to the main building drain line and fix the problem soon after you called and the problem is solved. We also know that many of your other smaller complaints have been attended to. Regarding the Police... Yes, they do come around, but do so at our request. We have agreements with the local police at all our properties in NJ to make sure they drive through our parking lots regularly. This promotes safety for tenants and their cars. And last regarding the PSE&G issue, we are sorry this occured, but clearly this was an error on the part of PSE&G. However, we are glad you brought this to our attention so that we can help other tenants.

                I've lived here for less than a year, and this complex is an atrocity... For starters, there is absolutely zero lighting... not such a huge problem, but it's topped off by loud stomping from above, the ability to hear the quietest most intimate conversations… See More >

                  We are sorry that you seem not to be happy, but we'd like to take care of any issues. Regarding lighting, please contact us with details, as we have not had any direct complaints regarding and are not sure what the issue is. The parking lots are fully lit with new PSE&G spotlights and there are lights on the front of all buildings. If yours is out, please let us know. We'll fix it. Regarding other issues, we'd be happy to: (1) replace a defective smoke alarm, (2) contact your neighbors if they are making too much noise, (3) fix your faucet and/or tub. Just contact us. We have excellent 2 onsite maintenance supers to get it done. Regarding roads and rain: there was some construction this summer, but all roads are now open, and no, we have not had any flooding issues during rains. That's just not true. And lastly, we do allow the local Police to patrol Town Oaks on their regular routes through town. This partnerhsip makes sure we don't have any problems and that Town Oaks is safe at all hours. Thanks.

                    Dear Tenant... Please contact us directly at the management office and we'll work hard to address any concerns and maintenance issues. The building walls are masonry and are definitely not "carboard." They are also insulated. However, you may have had drafts in your apartment that our superintendents can diagnose and fix. Drafts by windows and doors can definitely make an apartment feel colder, but are usually easy to remedy. But please contact us directly if this ever happens again. Similarly, if your neighbors are ever too loud, please let us know and we'll contact them. Most times, a simple phone call from management takes care of the problem. Thankfully we haven't had too many 'loud neighbor' complaints, but we're here though if it does happen. Just call. And lastly regarding Police visits, please know that we do allow the town officers to patrol Town Oaks on their routine trips through town. We encourage this. It helps keeps Town Oaks safe and quiet. However, going back to the time of your complaint, we did have a specific problematic with one bad tenant (...that's one out of almost 100 apartments!), that resulted in several police visits, but he moved out in April 2010. It was one problem, but it was solved as fast as we could. Again, please contact our management office directly if you have any maintenance or other issues. We have 2 onsite supers to take care of problems quickly.

                        Your concerns are of great concern to us, as Town Oak's new owners are working hard for the complex. We ask that you - and all Tenants - contact the management office right away to discuss any maintenance needs. Town Oaks has two excellent, full-time maintenance superintendents on-site... so please, call us with any issues. As of 5/20/09 all washers and dryers, in our recently repainted, laundry room are working. Regarding the Landscaping... Yes, the complex is getting all New Landscaping and Sprinklers as of May 2009. Town Oaks also has Renovated Entrance Hallways, New Roofs, New Windows, New Driveway... Lots of Major New Improvements. Kitchens and baths in our large apartments have been renovated as well. We have been getting lots of compliments from Tenants regarding all the work we are doing. But obviously, you are upset over something. So, please call us and we'll do our best to take care fo it. Thanks.

                        The reason the rental office is closed is because there is a new owner of the apartment complex and they do not keep someone in the office anymore. There should be a sign in the window that tells you where to call. I do wish… See More >

                          THANKS! As NEW OWNERS we have been working hard to make Town Oaks a really great place to live and to be responsive to our Tenants' needs. Over the last year Town Oaks has gotten NEW Landscaping, Windows, Entrance Halls, Roofs, Gutters, Driveway, etc. The management office was closed, because we felt it would be better to employ 2 Full-Time Maintenance Superintendents than to have 1 Superintendent and 1 Office Manager. 2 Full-Time Supers helps us take care of maintenance issues more quickly.

                            Please note that this issue occured under the PRIOR OWNERSHIP. However, we are sorry about your bad experience from that missed appointment and as New Owners we try hard to make sure that doesn't happen. As NEW OWNERS we've been working hard on completing lots of MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS at Town Oaks. The 'fresh coat of paint' you mentioned, is DEFINITELY being taken care of! Our New Roofs, Windows, Landscaping, Entrance Halls, Driveway, etc. should show that.
