Cliffside

Lived at Cliffside for many years. Noisy, dirty, outdated, overpriced, myself and others were attacked by off leash dogs (the manager Stacy new about all of these but failed to tell anyone or even kick the offender's out....gross negligence or her part), paper-thin walls, extremely creaky floors in "every" "single" "apartment", extremely high crime, manager won't higher anyone to plow the snow, stranding everyone in the lower half of the complex, only spends money on lawn care, etc....etc....etc… .... Please, for the love of God, find another place to live! This place is literally a dumpster fire! Read More

Do extensive ratings research first before renting here. This rental property is a large 300unit / 25building complex has a very high turnover rate, for a reason. The problem is strictly management that does not know, nor care, what they do regarding people skills and enforcing Leasing agreements and Real Estate property management statues. The manager does not address problems & leasing violations but instead "Projects" it back onto the renter as their fault or it’s no big deal just deal with… it. Many times the manager gets very rude and demeaning for no reason in the process just to back renters off from a major issue. Major issues just get ignored, swept under the rug, and management moves on like it never happened until the renter finally just gives up and just moves out. The management never takes responsibility or accountability for their own mis-management over a large living community. The renter is totally responsible in fending for themselves when major Leasing or Fed/State violations occur in getting them taken care of, resulting in many times neighbors not getting along. “Bottom line”-- Noisy apartments, extensive auto crime, pet waste, daily pet agreement & leash law violations, speeding cars, sometimes 5-6 people living in 1 bedroom apt for a year or more above or below you, sewer gas coming out of sewer tank tubes next to apartment windows, mail box issues, old apartments in need of repair & updating. Just do your ratings homework. Read More

DAILY car break ins, a couple of reported vehicle thefts, management will blame it on the residents and remind us not to leave valuables in the car but not actual help find a solution to the ongoing issue. They refuse to let you use cameras except in your car, they refuse to hire a security patrol that actually patrols the complex, and they refuse to fund a gate but instead worry about the “beauty” of the complex. This place is an actual joke, especially when you blame the residents. They have… also been quoted saying “the faster you move out, the faster we can upgrade the apartment and get someone else in.”
Very rude office manager.


Now let’s talk about the apartments themselves. They do not have storage space. So no linen closets, no drawers in the bathroom, no pantries. They just paint over mold problems. And if you get a bottom floor, prepare for a mouse problem in your outside storage closet.

I just can’t wait to get out of here.
I hope you find somewhere else to live because this complex is not worth the trouble. Read More

The views are fantastic, the office staff are polite and helpful. Their community website is useful. The maintenance staff are great. The views are fantastic, though not every apartment window has them. I also love the easy access to cliffside park when I want to take a walk. I've enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace.

Only the A-type units come equipped with in-unit washers and dryers. Given the high price tag on all the units here, you would think that would be included on all units. There is a… reason for it, the B-type units were constructed much earlier. However, given the price tags, I would think that renovations to install some form of that amenity on all units would be in order. Especially considering the added risk to communal laundry areas in the pandemic.

The kitchens are usable, but on the small side. They are not equipped with microwaves and do not have much usable counterspace.

The building construction quality is great. I've never had sound problems with my neighbors. You will hear the occasional maintenance job or lawn care. Read More
