I moved out of River Place in April 2012. I'm writing the review now because I just recently received my security deposit (part of it anyway) back. Yes - it took that long to get the deposit back. I received part of it in October - argued for the rest, got tired of arguing and gave up. (I have a statement, in writing, saying my unit was left in perfect condition and needed no repairs. I also know for a fact that my unit was occupied 2 weeks after I left).
When I moved into River Place in 2007 it was "the place" to live in Rahway. It was impeccable - clean, friendly, safe, great service etc. A while back, ---- - who many people mention here, left for a new opportunity as Oxford managment took over managing the property which was sold to new owners. It was completely and utterly downhill from there.
When Oxford took over, I experienced the following problems: no response to service calls, the grass was rarely cut and the area near the water was not cleaned which caused 2 injuries to my dogs when walking, carpets weren't cleaned in the hallways, garbage pick ups left broken glass and debris that was never picked up causing damage to my car, elevators were frequently out of service and took weeks to repair (twice I had to move out temporarily because of this), stairwells were filthy, garage was never cleaned, a ramp I built and used for my dogs (stored in my garage space) was used by management as per a witness - broken - then never repaired (though I will give them the benefit of the doubt here as I didn't see this for myself), etc.
I was there for ----- but lucky enough to be gone for -----. I'm told told the clean up from ----- still isn't done.
This is NOT the place you want to live.
