The best experience that you and your family can get living in a gated community. The experience is not limited to the amenities alone, but the extended family experience the Core management and service staff bring day in and day out. I should say the DNA of the entire team at core is so infectiously positive, vibrant and lightens up any gloomy day. We have been living here for 2 years since the Core opened and are moving into the new building they have opened, and would certainly continue for... another 3 years.

Overall highly recommended property, given it being very new and thus with full modern designs and finishes in the actual apartment. Being next to the Ronkonkoma station/I-495 is also a plus and probably the un-beatable advantage for whoever needs commute. The property is still expanding with ongoing construction and more incoming merchants. The vibe is getting better as well. Having a reserved parking space in the garage is good, but at the expense of $130 monthly parking fee, and that you... really have no other options.

The core used to be so nice place to live. Every leasing office staffs was kind and friendly. Very attentive and tried to solve issues together. However, ever since the management changed, the satisfaction has gone down significantly. The location and environment is still excellent with no doubt. But overall services and management are disappointing.

I’ve had a great experience here so far. The staff has been incredibly friendly and accommodating from the start. Everyone has been helpful and welcoming to both me and my family, and they offered to help over and over again during the move-in process. That kind of attitude really makes a difference.

The security staff is also very friendly, which adds to the overall feeling of safety and community in the building.

The Amazon drop box is a godsend for deliveries, especially with how many... packages everyone gets these days. Another huge bonus was being able to use the freight elevator while loading in, which made bringing large items upstairs so much easier.

The amenities are fantastic as well. The gym is beautiful, and the pool and patio areas are a great bonus to an already well-designed and beautiful property.

The covered parking garage is also really nice, and the staff there has been just as friendly and helpful as everyone else I’ve spoken with.

On top of that, the community around the property is great. Having restaurants, a supermarket, banking, and even a walk-in clinic nearby is really convenient and honestly just the cherry on top.

Overall, it’s been a very positive experience and I’m really happy to be here. Would recommend to anyone.
