Overlook at Piermont

The only reason I did not stay was because of a job relocation, otherwise I would have renewed. Since the new management took over last year they have been updating the property, repainting and refurbishing hallways, new storage units, the parking lot asphalt, roofing and more. The superintendent is unbelievable, always on-call and every maintenance request I've had he was always prompt. The grounds are kept clean with weekly lawn services, although in the beginning of winter the snow removal wasn't as good - they quickly turned that around.

Best part is not getting charged for garbage removal or maintenance fee like other complexes may do. Parking (not assigned), water and Diplomat gym membership was also included so that was a huge plus. I had a high ceiling apartment with my balcony facing the courtyard that I enjoyed very much. I do recommend them getting an online payment system but they do have an on-site office there where you can drop off payments.

Overall, I had a good experience with the Overlook.

There's only one word and it's beautiful, friendly people, nice families and most importantly the management is always on time and gets the job done. Highly recommend and the only reason why I'm moving is for a job relocation.

Since the new management company took over a while ago I would not recommend living here. Although the apartments appear beautiful inside and out, they soon reveal their true colors. Mysterious staining on the ceilings (I live in a second floor apartment with 1 apartment above me and I was told to just ignore the stains unless they get bigger), multiple times I have found mold on the bedroom closet walls (they "cleaned" it each time then just painted over the area), rusting metal fixtures in both bathrooms (even though we use the exhaust fan and open the window when we shower), ceiling sheet rock seems are starting to show through, and yesterday there was a water problem in the apartment above at 1pm and no one alerted us to look for water coming through the ceiling and at 6pm at night we came home to toilet water in our light fixtures, all over our bathroom counter and floor and all in our hallway carpet. Now the only thing they want to do to fix this issue is change out the light fixture. Snow removal is terrible. The new Super lives all the way in the Bronx and is not pleasant when being called in the evenings to come out for water damage problems.

Overlook Circle

I would highly recommend the Overlook Circle if you are looking for a safe, friendly, well-maintained community for a home rental.

My tenure at Overlook Circle was 3 years +. The apartments are updated to the current design styles of the times and are within 10 years in from being fully renovated. The apartments are spacious and feel like home. There is a lawn in the center that is a great place to meet and talk with your neighbors or just hang out. The property is friendly to animals and there are numerous dogs living on the premises. There are numerous families living on the property. The location is central to all points of travel. Close to the Palisades for easy on and off to head to NYC or to Up State. A short drive to the Tappan Zee Bridge. Ten minutes to all local restaurants, super markets, and your daily errands.

The original management team was friendly and organized. The property was sold in October 2016 to a new owner. From that point forward there has been a fully committed plan for improvements to the property. There is a full-time property manager who works on site and will return your call within the same day. There is also, now, a full-time superintendent who lives on site. The super will respond to your concerns right away.

The local Piermont Fire Department, Police and Ambulance Services are top notch and response time is immediate.

If you are looking for a rental community in Orangeburg that has everything on your checklist, Overlook Circle is the place to visit and a place to call home.

Multiple issues with management both during my time there and afterwards.
