Riverwatch Commons: Overall Pleasing (Recommending!)

2008-03-05T19:20:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for 7 months and I have to give this place a positive review. I have a single facing Dennis St., so route 18 noise is a non-issue. The restaurant Delta's can get a bit loud on Tuesdays and weekends, but it's usually just from about 11-12 am ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: I really don't want to leave... (Recommending!)

2008-02-06T19:25:24-06:00

From aptrenter1220: With any apartment complex there are Positives and Negatives. I think that this place has far more positives. First of all, the unit I live in is really nice. I was impressed by how clean (especially the bathrooms!) everything was when my boyfriend and I first moved in. I distinctly ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: NEVER AGAIN!!! (Not Recommending)

2008-01-28T21:56:03-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When I visited Riverwatch Commons before signing the lease agreement, I absolutely loved the place. It seemed to be one of the best looking buildings in New Brunswick, it appeared to be safe, and the management team presented themselves to be very courteous and professional. Well, in my short stay ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: A Winner (Recommending!)

2007-08-30T09:53:53-06:00

From rrmdx9: I've lived here for six years, and I'm renewing my lease for a seventh year. It really is a lovely, convenient, attractive complex. The recent addition of a new manager in May has made a significant, positive impact. The marked professionalism and friendliness of Joe and Cristin in the office ...

2007-08-26T20:07:20-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have lived here for over a year and could not be happier. The building is very well taken care of. I always see the staff vacuuming, washing windows, and cleaning.

Riverwatch Commons: BAD BAD BAD (Not Recommending)

2007-04-17T17:12:24-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I only lived here for a year and had a horrrible experience. They find a way to charge you for absolutely everything and are not understanding at all. The building may look nice and luxurious but this is an unpleasant and expensive place to live and it was definitely not ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: Excellent building, highly recommended (Recommending!)

2007-02-11T17:12:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: A gem in Middlesex Co.'s notoriously expensive rental marketplace. Riverwatch is priced competitively for a new construction building, and features spacious apartments luxuriously appointed with a parquet foyer, marble-tiled bathroom, and kitchen with new appliances. Building management and maintenance staff are responsive to requests. Office hours are frustratingly limited many ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: (Recommending!)

2007-01-16T12:40:16-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I actually got my notice for the parking raise about 1 1/2 months before. I usually try to make it to the office on Wed or Thurs to pick up my packages because they are open until 7 and Im pretty sure they work on Saturdays too. The maintenance staff ...

Riverwatch Commons: Management Absolutely Pathetic - High Cost of Living (Not Recommending)

2007-01-09T17:43:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Good luck getting someone in the managment office when they are OPEN. That's right. There office hours are worse than the bank. Open 8:30pm to 4:30pm - I have to take off work just to talk to someone - and good luck with that. Most times they open 20-30 minutes ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: Great location, nice place.... (Recommending!)

2006-07-29T16:18:01-06:00

From bobsaccount: NB is on the up and if you like to have lots on your doorstep and a nice comfortable place to rest you head at night, then this is perfect. Management very helpful and my ONLY complaint is there is not AC in the common areas.
Parking is not covered ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: Never any problems (Recommending!)

2006-02-27T19:51:45-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for a short six month lease and I thought it was great. Mindy is the assistant manager and she is very nice and helpful. The maintenence guys are really nice too.

Riverwatch Commons: GREAT PLACE!! (Recommending!)

2006-01-13T09:02:48-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I've lived here for over 2 years and have never had a bad experience. If I call the office to get something fixed they are here within a day or two (unlike other places I've lived). The gym is free and they have donuts and coffee every Friday morning.... what ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: i don't think it's worth it (Not Recommending)

2005-09-13T17:57:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Yes, this is a nice place. You never have any problems with bugs, the management takes your packages and they respond within reasonable time when you have a problem.

BUT: even though general things are ok, I think for the prices they are asking, the service is NOT sufficient.

Take an ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: Worst Management Ever (Not Recommending)

2005-07-01T17:34:30-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Well, I liked living here, too, when I first moved in.

However, I found out very soon that the management does not do good job on managing it.

1. They do not keep the office schedule. They are never there 10 minutes before closing time and sometimes, close the office ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: High Electric Bill (Not Recommending)

2005-03-23T21:01:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The electic bill is very high in this building. Last month, I was not home for over 10 days and the heater was off. For the rest of 20 days, only the living room heater was on, only at night.

I cannot believe that I was charged over $150... My ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: Don't rent from Applied Company - ANYWHERE! (Not Recommending)

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

From -Anonymous-: We actually have rented at the Palisades in Fort Lee, but our experience with this disgusting company has led us to write a review on any apartment building they lease.

Riverwatch Commons: Under-appreciated and Great! (Recommending!)

2004-04-30T00:00:00-06:00

I moved out of New Brunswick in early 2002 and moved back in late 2004. Right ... [click to read full apartment review]

Riverwatch Commons: Not worth it (Recommending!)

2004-04-01T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It´s a really nice place if you have the bling bling. I lived there for 1.5 years. The place is built better than most of the places in NJ. But, that is not saying much. I didn´t have any issues with bugs or anything of that nature. Only issue I ... [click to read full apartment review]

2002-12-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have had a pleasant experience living in this apartment building.
