100 Court N Dr, Melville, NY 11747, United States

“Do NOT Rent here. Management in the leasing office is beyond shady, a different resident/ family is evicted here literally every month, rent increases for current residents are predatory, and there is dog poop EVERYWHERE. 1) The leasing office unprofessional. I called in weeks ago to talk about my lease renewal offer. I have been living here for three years, and have been raised $900 dollars in that span. My current lease renewal offer would have me paying more for my 1 bedroom than any of the MANY vacant 1 bedroom apartments currently available along with most of the 2 bedroom apartments that are currently sitting vacant and listed on the website. After calling in and being promised a conversation with management, no one ever called me back. When I called in days after they promised to call back, I was told that the manager that was supposed to call was sick and that the other managers were all traveling. Fast forward a week later, I called in again only to be told the same story and they would call me the next day i.e. the last day I had to make a decision on my renewal... of course, no one called me back. I had to call customer care to beg them to get a manager from the renewal team to speak with me, which they finally did at 6 PM that night. I was told but the manager, named Sydney, that it would be ILLEGAL for them to adjust my rent to something more akin to the prices they have listed for the vacant 1 bedroom apartments because they rely on an algorithm/ formula to spit out prices. I reminded this manager that there are currently 23 vacant apartments, ALL 1 bedroom and many two bedroom options listed on the website are less expensive than what they are quoting me, and that there has been an eviction each of the last few months. Again, nothing they can do. Moreover, starting with this new lease cycle, they are throwing in additional hidden fees such as a technology package that includes cable and a new television... I told Sydney I already use another cable provider and have a TV and asked if she could remove this additional monthly expense from my rent. Unsurprisingly, she refused to remove this baked in nonsense charge from my rent, even though i would not be using the service. To recap, the leasing office had hiked my rent $900 in three years, is charging me more money to renew than it would cost to rent any of the vacant 1 bedroom apartments and half of the vacant 2 bedroom apartments, dodged my calls and hoped I would cave without a conversation before I had to make a decision on my lease renewal offer, and is now tacking on additional expenses for services I don't need/ already have. Sydney, the manager, while polite, was particularly unhelpful and frankly incompetent. 2) If you move here, expect to see rain drenched mattresses, furniture and assorted belongings laid out all across the street and sidewalk in front of the development for weeks at a time. Why? Because this place evicts tenants left and right... all while half the apartments in the development sit vacant and they refuse to make remotely fair renewal offers to current residents. 3) If you are a long term renter, DO NOT MOVE HERE. New residents are quoted at reasonable prices when they move in, while current residents are hiked beyond belief from cycle to cycle. Like I said, I've been raised $900 a month in three years, or roughly $11,000 a year from when I first moved in. 4) The grounds are in awful shape. There is dog poop EVERYWHERE. No one picks up after their dog and management does nothing. There is poop on the walking path, so over the grass, along all the fences and all over the tiny dog run. The development also FLOODS FOR DAYS any time there is a heavy rain. Do yourself a favor, and move somewhere else.”
