Cedar Lane Apartments Do not rent here. There are pros but they are so over shadowed by the cons that it's not worth it. PROS -Pricing is great -location is convenient, access to major highways, close to edison and new brunswick train station, close to downtown new brunswick - lots of great food and entertainment options -Apartments are spacious and the hardwood floors are nice -Maintenance is very prompt and responsive as far as any issues you may have. -Pool is clean and reasonably available. -No bug issues, they did put traps in the apartment, but never saw a bug. CONS -Walls are PAPER THIN. You can hear your neighbors snoring, talking, watching television, breathing. -They allow dogs but they have not put out pet litter bags for people to use or have convenient garbage can locations so there is dog feces EVERYWHERE. Large amounts of it everywhere that stays for days/weeks on the sidewalk and grass.. -They do nothing about barking dogs or noise in general. Some dogs bark for hours and hours morning and night. -The water temperature is so inconsistent you risk scalding/freezing yourself while bathing without warning. -The dryers trap clothing inside the door of the machines leaving you with sopping items after continued drying. (tried multiple different machines) -very poor job of cleaning between tenants. All of my kitchen cabinets were sticky when I moved in, still can't get grease off no matter what product I use. There was (and still is) lots of garbage (toothbrushes, used bars of soap, product caps) from previous tenants in between the bathroom sink/wall that I can't reach to remove but should have been taken care of before I moved in. Same thing with under the fridge. -Parking spots are very limited. Your spot gets taken by inconsiderate neighbors and you have nowhere to go unless you want to cause someone else the same problem or park far away. No where close for visitors to park. -Office staff is very helpful, but VERY defensive about any complaints and concerns. -Management office like to leave notes on doorsteps regarding rules and regulations of the apartment complex. Annoying to come home to after a long day when the issue doesn't pertain to you. They do not address complaints directly so end up harassing everyone. If you're on a budget/in college, this will fulfill your basic needs. However, if you can afford just a bit more and are a working professional like me, this is not the place you want to be. Your quality of life will be negatively affected from the lack of sleep you'll get, to the shortened showers you'll be forced to take, to not being able to just park your car at times. I regret trying to save money and living like this. Waiting on management to write a response. Save it. I actually live here.
