The Links at Manhattan Apartments

Applied for an apartment that magically became available mid-month. They refused to prorate rent on the lease agreement and are refusing to return my deposit.

they sent the statement of deposit. I learned they charged cleaning, carpet replacement, painting, and CLEANING AFTER PAINTING and CARPET REPLACEMENT. Don't you think that they are responsible for the cleaning after painting??

I have lived in 3-4 apartments in MHK but this place is the worst. Don't ever consider it.

This place is awful. Not conveniently located to anything in Manhattan except the middle school. Dog “droppings” everywhere so you can’t walk without watching your every step. I’ve seen 3-4 cars have their windshield smashed by college kids using the golf course. The management here is the icing on the cake. If there’s any sort of issue, they say it’s YOUR fault and that you should “be more careful”. Maintenance guys are creepy and caught one them looking through my belongings when they were... supposed to be changing my air filter. Don’t give this place your money. Far better apartment complexes in Manhattan for the price. Not to mention the price increases every year you’re here so it will only get higher. Read More

No place to park. Abandoned unlicensed wrecked vehicles are in the parking lot despite signs posted everywhere that they will be towed . Pool is full of people drinking openly on the weekend even though the first rule is Absolutely No Alcohol, People party on their patio decks till 4 a m. Substance that looks like Mold grows in apartments

If I could rate this place zero stars, I would in a heartbeat. This place looks so nice on the outside and when you’re initially touring it but once you sign the lease, EVERYTHING CHANGES.

People in the office are so rude once you move in. Like come on, I know your job sucks but you could at least act like you know the basics of customer service.

The management is TERRIBLE. I understand that it’s a big complex and a national chain but they are just so bad at managing things. There have been... multiple occasions where they made a mistake but blamed tenants for it.

Recently, they forgot to bill several buildings, if not the whole complex, $25.00 for water. Rent is due on the 1st - residents receive a utilities bill usually the week before that includes the whole total of your rent and utilities. The complex didn’t bill the $25.00 until the 1st, didn’t let anyone know until the 3rd/4th, and slapped everyone with a late charge notice. They printed out, wrote the address, and hand delivered the notices to the buildings (we’re talking hundreds of people) and didn’t think to themselves “huh, lots of people are late on a $25 charge. Maybe we messed up and should notify them of the mistake.” Like seriously?? You couldn’t email the complex and mention the mistake and add it to the next month? You had to give everyone a letter that said we’ll be charged for being late when it’s your mistake?

Don’t even think about getting your deposit back no matter how much you clean. Advice from past residents is just clean enough so you don’t get an extra charge.

You know that rule about giving 24 hours notice before entering in your apartment? Well that doesn’t exist here! My neighbor had maintenance come into her apartment several times (to fix something they damaged) without telling her. I was the one to notify her.

Parking is terrible. Cars sit in spots for months on end (one has been there for over a year) and they don’t do anything about it. They don’t regulate guests or anything so often times, you can’t find a spot near your building. Not terrible but females walking alone at night should be aware of that issue.

The apartments themselves are just cheaply made. Our dishwasher barely cleans our dishes, despite several attempts to clean it. The vinyls floors in the kitchen are coming up. MOLD GROWS ON THE WINDOWS. It’s in between the top and bottom panels and nothing gets done about it.

Overall, just an awful, awful place to live. Spend your money elsewhere. Read More
