Presidential Estates at North Brunswick

Noticed they had my review from two weeks ago taken down, so here it is again: Look elsewhere. Save your time, money, and sanity. In July, we were rented an unfinished, not ready for move-in unit. When we saw the unit and were rushed into signing the lease, we were guaranteed it would be ready by July 1. When we entered the unit, not only was nothing done, but the basement now had huge puddles of water in it. It is now 7 months later and we still have code-violations such as an unsealed door to outside, which freely lets in cold air and insects. Even dirt when contractors are blowing leaves toward the unit. Noel, the property manager, is very rude and just today called me "a big mouth" for asking code enforcement about our issues. They seem to have no interest in integrity and are very unprofessional once you are locked into a contract. Whatever they reply here to make it sound not so bad, please take my warning with the others. Do not move here.

DO NOT MOVE IN -- STAY AWAY -- READ THIS FIRST I am posting this anonymously to avoid retaliation from management. I have been a resident here for 10+ years. I loved the community when it was Northwood Estates, but I cannot wait to move out now. Since the new management (Skylark Holdings) took over, this place has fallen apart. They are trying to "sell a pig with lipstick"—making cosmetic changes while ignoring severe health and safety issues. The Reality of Living Here: - Safety Hazards: They do not clear snow or salt the grounds (major slip/skid hazard). - Unreachable: No one answers the office phone. Ever. - Utilities: They cut the water randomly without any notice to residents. I understand that they might need to fix something but they should then send out advance notices. - Predatory Towing: They will tow your car even if it is properly registered. - Hostility: The office staff is incredibly rude and dismissive. Noel, Jose and many more. - Neglect: Maintenance requests are ignored; you have to beg to get things fixed. - Property Removal: They remove and throw away items from your private porch without notice. - Pests: There is a serious roach and mice problem that is being ignored. - Aggressive Displacement Tactics: This is the worst part. They are actively trying to force out long-term residents (who have lower rates) to get us into expensive "renovated" units. They even spam us with sketchy, unsolicited letters claiming they can "help with a down payment" on a house just to trick us into vacating. Do not let the "renovations" or "luxury rentals" fool you. This management will rip you off and gaslight you when you complain. Look elsewhere in the area.
