Autumn Ridge

I'm usually not one to write bad reviews but Autumn Ridge is a special case.

I lived here with my girlfriend for about 3 years and just moved out last week. The reviews tell you everything you need to know. 2.9 stars? You wouldn't even buy a phone case on Amazon if it had 2.9 stars. Why would you spend your life living somewhere with 2.9 stars?

Here's my list of grievances:

1.) The apartment. Look, I get it's not gonna look like the showroom - they all lie about that, whatever. I accept it. But this is totally different. The oven was covered in pools of rancid, smelly grease from the tenants before me (and probably the tenants before them, too). I lived there for almost 3 years and no matter what I tried to get rid of the bugs, I had to deal with spiders, roaches, ants, and silverfish almost every single day. The walls were cracked and the paint was chipping the day I moved in. It should have been an exciting time - our first place together! Instead we just felt like we had been scammed. Awful.

2.) The parking. How is this parking situation even legal? I'm shocked New Jersey doesn't have some kind of code prohibiting this. THERE'S MORE APARTMENTS THAN PARKING SPOTS. It's like a sick twisted game of musical chairs every day. If you're one of the unlucky people who get home after like 6 PM, you're parking almost a quarter mile down the road. Imagine taking your laundry (no in-house) or groceries that far. It sucks so bad.

3.) The neighbors. I had 2 nice neighbors. Everyone else sucked. I couldn't even have friends come over with beer because it's impossible to make that quarter mile walk I just mentioned without passing by a group of creeps who would bother you and follow you around until you gave them beer. I didn't even let my girlfriend walk alone from her car. There were always cops there and you could hear fights and shouting through your window almost weekly.

Ran out of characters - see my google review for all 7 points. In summary - STAY AWAY

My experience at Autumn Ridge was great! I lived there for about eight years and the staff is wonderful to deal with. Maintenance is there if you have any issues. There willing to resolve whatever problem your having. The only thing that bothered me was the parking. There are no dedicated parking spots and it would become difficult to find parking due to people in one apartment having too many cars. Although the leasing office employees were great and had people towed when not authorized to park in resident area. It was still difficult to get parking sometimes. I would still recommend living here though.

I visited the rental office, which has a model of the apartments, and they look great

Very spacious and lovely community. Also maintenance and rental office staff are very helpful.
