There are a lot of people who live here that are extremely complacent with bad services even though they are paying to live here. I m not a complainer, but I expect great services especially when I m being charged so much for it. My fianc e both lives here. We work all day, and are both college graduates. We have been here for three years. Every other month raccoons climb on top of our roof keeping us from sleeping at night. We have kept our apartment extremely clean from day one, still ROACHES are everywhere. Quality of service from maintenance is cheap. Office management is horrible. Be ready they will be increasing your rent every month even though services are getting worse. Please I have been here for 3 years and it is a nightmare. If you come here they will sell you the world, but after signing your lease you ll see.

is this a fact across the whole place or maybe just yours? Did you see them when you were looking around the first visit?

Dear Anonymous..roaches do not stay confined to one apt. If 1 has them, they all have them. They breed like crazy and go through the vents. Look them up online.

I really feel bad for anyone who unknowingly moves into this nightmare of a place. I agree with the reviewer. My fiancee and I have lived here for 2.5 years, we live on the first floor, and I can tell you this much: TERRIBLE maintenance, they wont fix anything and when they do, it's clearly not a priority. You can tell the apartment is old as there are many cracks and patches here and there, and a bad paint job (where they just paint over anything and everything and there are lots of bumps). Old radiators that don't work so well and take forever to heat up, and they recently changed the thermostats so that the highest temperature you can set is 75F. Bugs GALORE- spiders, roaches (giant ones at that), beatles, and other misc. bugs (meanwhile we're extremely clean people). We should have known two days after we moved in when we found a giant cockroach dead in the living room! They just keep coming in through the front/back doors (we have 2), so we had to line the doors with boric acid powder (to keep our sanity..because we're terrified of them), and now they just come in and die. They have NEVER vacuumed the carpet in the hall at the apt entrances, and the stairs are filthy and full of dead bugs. There are window unit air conditioners installed below the windows, in which the edges aren't sealed properly and small bugs and spiders often come through there. Also, heres an example of the bad maintenance: One day we had a storm and it rained a lot, and our living room flooded because they hadn't cleaned the gutter. Water was just pouring in through the top of our windows in the LR, and the people upstairs- their ceiling collapsed! We called maintenance (it was a Friday night around 8PM) and they sent this guy over who practically refused to come over and fix it, and when he did, he didn't even do anything about it. He said that there was nothing he can do at that time and that they would clean the gutters the next day. Meanwhile, he couldn't even help us remove, or provide a wet vac for all the water in the LR (because he said they didn't have one). Now there are lots of water stains on the ceiling as well, and around the window sills. There are raccoons living in our bedroom wall, which we hear every early morning crawling into the wall, banging into the wall, scratching and making noises and sounds, thus not letting me sleep. I've also seen maintenance riding around in their little caddy carts with rat poison in the back which leads me to believe that people here have mice/rats as well (which after speaking to someone here and reading reviews else where, they've confirmed the mice/rats). I thought I heard some downstairs in the crawlspace squealing (those crawlspaces are often left open and are rarely closed properly). OMG...there are just too many nightmares..the list just doesn't end there. This post was originally intended as a short comment confirming what this reviewer has said, but after all this, I think I'll make this my review too! Now you may be wondering, why have we stayed here...honestly...because after reading and hearing about all the other apartments in the area..they don't sound any different or better. We were only willing to move to somewhere that was actually better, and so we were waiting for an available apartment in Somerset which seem the like best of them all. We're moving next week. That day can not come any sooner!! Please, for your own good, STAY AWAY FROM ROYAL GARDENS and PRINCETON GARDENS...better yet...RUN!

Its 2008 and I am having the same problem...HUGE GIANT COCKROACHES!! THE RACCOONS ARE LIVING IN MY BEDROOM WALLS ALSO AND I HAVE TO GET UP AND BANG THE WALLS TO STOP THE NOISE THEY MAKE SO I CAN AT LEAST GET SOME SLEEP. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO MGMT ABOUT THE ROACHES AND THEY COME AND SPRAY TO NO AVAIL. I AM NOW FINDING LEGAL RESOURCES TO BREAK MY LEASE AS I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS ANY LONGER.
