Short Hills Gardens

STAY AWAY!!! Things you will need or experience while staying in these apartments. Lived here for two years and this is all true, no exaggeration.

1) You will need several electric heaters and you'll receive a big electric bills during winter time, heat never goes above 65

2) Several floor lamps, there is no light in living room and all bulbs are the cheapest you may find at dollar tree. All the appliances are the cheapest, everything will start breaking apart after one year of use.

3) You… will need mice traps and bugs spray, there are several holes next to heating pipes and you'll never be able close them and stop mice coming from basement, I tried to close them several time, they always find way to come inside and explore. I'm extremely clean person, I never leave food outside and always vacuum in the evening but nothing really works and building manager doesn’t care.

4) Good luck with repairs, either it will take forever or it will never happen unless water or gas is leaking something which may cost management otherwise it will never get fixed until you move out.

5) Property manager is the worst, she will give you a smile but she'll never listen. When I complained about the living conditions She said "I hear you but we have instructions from the higher management and I want to keep my job" Basically she said DON'T ASK!!!

6) On the website it says "no pets" but many people have dogs and cats and if you happen to live next to someone with dog get ready to listen to dog all day. Talking about animals, please watch out for raccoons, skunks and some 20 cats which live on the property and say HI to raccoons when you comeback after dark. Be careful when you get out of your car, they can attack and we all know there is no cure for rabies.

7) You'll hear your neighbor day and night even when they'll be talking normal

8) Rent will increase more than 100-150 dollars a month every year without any extra benefits

7) You will also smell cigarettes either from outside or next door

9) You will get one parking spot and if get visitors there will be no parking, specially overnight parking

10) Lawn mower will be making loud noise 4-6 hours day and at least 4-6 times in a month

12) If you are plaining to rent a townhouse please don't put anything valuable in the basement because it will be flooded at least once a year. You may get some money back from insurance but will never get your stuff back. Read More
