Update

Terrace finally fixed! Still moving though. Sound of neighbors apartment door slamming this was recorded at 9:00am on 04/02/23. We were in our living room watching TV and this a regular occurrence multiple times throughout the day. Oh and there is no quiet enjoyment evenā€¦Ā See More >

    DO NOT RENT FROM BARNEY SQUARE!

    It is a horrible place to live!! I am so happy I moved out! I don't even know where to begin. Maintenance is absolutely horrible! The one maintenance guy, I believe his name is Dave, it's just a horrible human being, who thinks it's okayā€¦Ā See More >

        I lived in barney square apartments for over 6 years and moved out recently. it's not great but it's cheap and it's in a secured building in downtown so if you prefer downtown living with restaurants walking distance away then it's one of few choicesā€¦Ā See More >

          This place is horrible! They never shovel the walkways in the winter, the steps to the courtyard apartments are crumbling off, the floors in the hallways are always dirty (they never vacuum), the buzzers always go to the wrong apartments, never any parking spots inā€¦Ā See More >

            The same people who run these apartments own a few houses in Cohoes which they rent apartments from. Different cities, same problems. They should not be running buildings in which people live in. Nothing gets fixed, if it does its by unprofessional maintenance, and everythingā€¦Ā See More >

                I was allured by the low rent, but quickly realized I made a mistake. I eventually ended up moving out because the maintenance problems kept piling up and their staff cannot keep up and eventually stopped showing up. Parking is a problem unless you payā€¦Ā See More >

                  HORRIBLE!

                  I moved into Barney's as a last minute effort to get out of where I currently lived. I loved the apartment and did not mind the city. Unfortunately, Barney's can not keep up with the need of it's tenants. Maintenance is twoā€¦Ā See More >

                    Over the year I was at Barney Square, I saw 6 broken windows in the parking lot. The management isn't very clear on where to park...Ive gotten countless notes on my car to move it or it will be towed. Maintenance men are nice butā€¦Ā See More >

                      Don't do it

                      We are both so much happier after moving out of the Barney Square building. We knew we hated living there but we didn't even realize how much until moving into a new apartment complex that actually cared about its tenants. At first Barney Square wasā€¦Ā See More >

                        I lived at Barney Square on the State Street side of the building in a 1BR 2-story apartment on the top 2 floors of the building. It was the best apartment at the best price that I've seen in this area. We had beautiful hugeā€¦Ā See More >

                                  The previous comment is absolutely fair. Overhearing noise from other units is routine and although I had an out of the way apartment, any noise in the hallway sounded like it was in my apartment and noise also carried across the hall from my neighborsā€¦Ā See More >

                                    First off, the apartments are not that nice but what can you expect---You get what you pay for. The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the neighboring apartments. The worst part by far is the lack of responsivenessā€¦Ā See More >
