Merritt River Apartments: Pool Collapse (Not Recommending)

2008-12-29T11:12:35-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It's not all it's cracked up to be. The construction continues. The jackhammering, at least, finally ceased after 10 straight weeks seven days a week. Yes, 7 days a week of jackhammering. Water Works of Ansonia is obviously equally as incompetant as the staff at Merritt River. Did I mention ... [click to read full apartment review]

2009-12-13T14:57:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for a year and a half and so far I have no complaints, especially since Lincoln Property took over.

Merritt River Apartments: Merritt River and the Law concerning the word Luxury (Not Recommending)

2007-10-08T12:30:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Legal information:The word LUXURY in the ads for the Merritt River Apartments has no LEGAL meaning and neither conveys or promises anything. It is merely a marketing hook.

Merritt River Apartments: This place sucks (Not Recommending)

2007-06-03T02:13:28-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Location: BITE ME! There are so many empty, run-down shopping centers around here that I hardly know what to do with myself. I just can't decide what's better - the Rainbow Plaza or the Korean massage parlor that just got busted for the second time this year.This place might be ... [click to read full apartment review]

2006-11-28T17:58:52-06:00

From mbugg03@yahoo.com: I disagree with the cranky, rude and abnoxious comments below. I haven't read one comment about delay in maintenance repairs, uncleanliness or even that the building is not being taken care of. The alarms DO NOT go off unless someone like my neigbor falls asleep with burning food. No false ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: The Worst Rental Experience Ever (Not Recommending)

2006-11-27T13:27:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I'd recommend looking elsewhere. At first glance, it's seems like the ideal place.....beautiful deck, swimming pool, secure (so you think). Until you sign on the dotted line. Once you do, you are at the mercy of Merrit River Management. They will charge you for every thing that they can possibly ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: I wouldn't rent here again (Not Recommending)

2006-09-05T12:27:09-06:00

From CaptainSparrow: The grounds are pretty nice, but the apartment interiors are nothing impressive for this price range.

It is true that the staff doesn't treat you like a customer, rather, its more like students in a dorm.

There aren't a ton of choices in Norwalk, but I recommend you take a look ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: Terrible Experience Here (Not Recommending)

2006-07-23T22:09:46-06:00

Facts:

5. Did I mention the staff is rude? ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: Outrageous Treatment by Merritt River Staff (Not Recommending)

2006-07-05T10:46:53-06:00

From MerrittRiverIsTerrible: When you rent an apartment you are really paying for the facilities, the grounds, the location, etc. Most people don't think about the staff both at the apartment and at the corporate office that owns it.

The facilities at Merritt River seem nice enough. Yeah, its next to a loud train, ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: I am a resident (Recommending!)

2005-12-20T14:10:46-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am a resident and am moving out due to a purchase of a home.

Meridith's smile ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: If you're a light sleeper, beware (Not Recommending)

2005-12-15T18:26:15-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Overall, the premises and apartments are very nice. I felt safe and very comfortable with one exception. The apartment complex is literally located right next to train tracks and the trains run all day into the early morning, regularly blowing a very loud horn. In addition, there is currently construction ... [click to read full apartment review]

2005-12-02T22:35:59-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am so glad to finally be out of this apartment complex and I cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone.

Merritt River Apartments: Reviews are correct. Staff is rude. (Not Recommending)

2005-11-11T09:52:00-06:00

From RadKrockDude@krock.com: This is a real review. It wasn't written by Merritt River Staff, it was written by a resident. I'll try to be fair.
I know that the staff can't do anything about trains, demolition explosions, or even the cracks in my walls. I also know, however, that they CAN do something ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: I'm a real resident (Not Recommending)

2005-11-10T21:29:11-06:00

From Snoopy371@hotmail.com: I've read with dismay all the ratings below, and they are horrifying. Many of the stories from residents are true, even if they aren't all that reasonable. The scariest part though, was the reviews written by the staff themselves. That, to me, is eery.
I won't be renewing my lease ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: RENTER BEWARE (Not Recommending)

2004-03-01T00:00:00-06:00

From MerrittFraud: As the building´s fire alarm is sounding, there goes the professional Merritt staff...writing more reviews and calling their customers "losers".
Nice place, huh?
You´ll love this new batch in the main office. Real pieces of work. Customer service disasters (but what do you expect for minimum wage?)
Anyway, think about it: if this ... [click to read full apartment review]

Merritt River Apartments: Fairfield County (Recommending!)

2004-02-28T00:00:00-06:00

From EDavis: It´s funny that one critic mentioned that employees of Merritt River are "one step up from a corner store", when we all know that this could mean great $ considering the cost of living in Fairfield County. The bottom line is, get a life.

2004-02-25T00:00:00-06:00

From wags: Having moved to Connecticut from Chicago I was unaware of the prompt schedule of the New York/Connecticut trains. They are always on time.

Merritt River Apartments: Pass On This Place (Not Recommending)

2004-01-27T00:00:00-06:00

From alaska1013: The Merritt River advertises itself as a luxury apartment. What a joke. Does a luxury apartment have a train running through your living room from 5:30 AM to Midnight? You will certainly get to know each of the conductors very well. They have a special signature horn blow.
