I LOVE living in Towne Center! I feel LUCKY to call this home. After living in NYC for over 20…read moreyears, I could not have found a more perfect fit for me. Where to start.... Leaving the city was scary. I was deciding between living in a house or an apartment and I visited many of both. I decided, as a single mother, I would rather live in an apartment building, with doormen, security, and lots of neighbors around. Luckily, I have an Aunt who lives in Alpine who told me I MUST live at Towne Center. She kept saying "These are NICE people" (the NICE was heavily emphasized and had multiple meanings). I am so grateful to her! First, I met with Anna the leasing agent of the building. Anna was a breathe of fresh air compared to other agents I have encountered. She is a true professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and kind. The smile on her face is genuine and warm, not fake and sales like. She was an absolute pleasure, made the application process seamless and worked with me to meet my needs. I am extremely gratefull to Anna for helping me in so many ways. Research: I spoke to numerous people who currently live and have previously lived in the building. Most of the my aunt knew already so they were very honest with me. One couple who were both doctors lived in a beautiful three bedroom with high ceilings, an upstairs loft and storage area and they had a grand piano in the living room and a full dinning room table. They had lived there for about 12 years. Also, I spoke with young couples and professionals in their 30s and 40s who worked in Manhattan and had no plans on leaving Towne Center even though they could afford very nice homes. True story: When I first moved to Engelwood, I met a family on my sons soccer team who had lived in the building. The wife told me wonderful things about the friends they made and the husband told me if it was up to him, he never would have left. They had a live-in nanny in their apartment with two children and a third on the way (both Harvard graduates). For me, coming from Union Square where I could get anything at anytime, I put a high value on location and convenience. As a parent, being able to run downstairs to CVS for late night cold medicine or across the street to Shop Rite when I forgot the hamburger buns was a life saver. I knew I wanted the safety of a 24 hour doorman and round the clock security. The under ground gated garage means I would never have to shovel snow or get stuck at home because of weather. And when my car battery died, I had people to give me a jump in minutes. When I walked into my new apartment, I felt the sun shinning on my face, saw an openness and lightness in the rooms and knew immediately that I made the right decision to live in Towne Center. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large, the living room has tons of natural light and there is plenty of closet space. If that wasn't enough the other reasons I rave about my apartment building are as follows... SASHA and JORGE are the superintendents of the building, taking care of anything and everything. I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH can not how phenomenal they are and how welcoming they have been. To say they go above and beyond is an understatement. They take pride in their work, do an exceptional job and they care about the people who live here. You may think this is not so important and I promise you it is! They make us smile every time we see them are always able to lend a helping hand. I have been living in apartments for 25 years, with many superintendents, Sasha and Jorge are in a class by themselves. In addition, from the first time I stepped foot in the building and every time since, ALBERTO at the front desk and ALFONSO made me feel like I was home. They have such positive energy and have been so kind to all of my extended family and friends. Concerns: no place is perfect. I listed some things that are challenging. - There are some doormen/woman security guards who are outstanding and there are some who are not. Turnover is high and so there is inconsistency. - We pay an assessment fee for a few amenities but before I lived here there were Sunday brunches for everyone with bagels and stuff. During the pandemic that stopped doing them COVID. The assessment fee did not go down and nothing was introduced instead of the Sunday brunch. - I am thrilled to have a gym in the building and it also needs a tech update. Only one of four TVs works well on the treadmills, there are 5 "watchable" channels - In this day and age I would at minimum expect ESPN (sports at a gym) and basic cable / streaming. - For new tenants rent went up 6% in one year and you can only sign a one year lease. You should be able to sign multi-year leases. - We have a cool movie theater, which also needs a tech update. BOTTOM LINE: I LOVE this building and my happiness greatly outweighs my concerns. The friendships I have made are priceless.

We moved to Towne Centre of Englewood 6 months ago. We downsized from a home to a two bedroom…read more After seeing many of the apartments in the area and dealing with a lot of sales people we were very taken by Anna and her honest concern for our needs. she didn't try to 'sell' us on anything, she readily admitted when a floorplan was not right for us. she was incredibly patient with us and worked with us the whole step of the way until we got approved. She remains a great resource for all our needs well after the lease was signed. since moving in, we have been pleasantly surprised at every turn. coming from a large home where things needed fixing every other day, I can't say enough about the maintenance duo of Sasha and Jorge, lead by the building manager, Jude. for a building this size youd expect to have to wait for repairs, instead, they show up almost immediately. there is a very efficient online maintenance request form and it really works. since moving in we had A/C issues and appliances malfunctioning and Jude made sure we had replacements in our apartment to minimize any discomfort. one time I told Jude not to bother bringing a replacement, that we'd be ok until the repairs were done, but he insisted! he had a new unit purchased and installed at quite an expense to management. we really feel cared for. the front desk staff are wonderful. eager to help and always greet me with a smile and a kind word. the other tenants here are so friendly and caring and respectful. I find it very quiet and kept clean. I highly recommend Towne Centre.

PLEASE NOTE: My review is for 300 Riverfront. UPDATE: NOTHING HAS CHANGE! The new construction…read moresite. Complete joke. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! There are so many new and up and coming properties in Bergen County that give you more bang for your buck. They have moved people in with ongoing construction. Many residents complain about their apartment having leaks. None of the appliances work. There is not one "luxury" detail here. Cars have been stolen in the covered parking areas. Residents do not clean up after their dogs. Residents have complained to me that they hear gun shots from the shooting range that is on the property. The building has no number out front so packages are constantly lost. Management send messages on the butterfly app that make you feel like you are residing in a dorm. Constantly telling you they will enter your apartment. Fire alarm goes off daily. Elevator makes this loud screeching sound when ever used. Cops always on property due to residents fighting mind you this property opened Dec 2022. No cameras to see who stole vehicles. Cameras are in front of the building and in common areas (mostly used to stalk residents) No trash cans on property. Peter is rude and mike sends messages with Mike the owner when making threats after you complain. Management question visits if they are on the lease or ask who they are visiting (This is not converge service the building has none). $3200 for a 2 bed 2ba to hear drilling Monday - Saturday from 6a - 6p 6 days a week. Construction workers park any and everywhere. No amenities are available yet. They promised us March 2023. Pool might hold 10 people comfortably when it is finished with construction. Grill area does not exist. "dog walk" is a sh!t show literally no one cleans after their dog. Management wants you to put in work order through them via email instead of maintenance or portal. Save your time and money. Can't wait until my lease is up. They also accept low income housing / Section 8 here. They recently got rid of house keeping so now the maintenance woman has to clean the entire building on top of completing repairs. (They work her like a dog) She does building 300 along with 301 & 400. You will see "Mike the Owner" lurking from the new leasing office in building 300 just watching residents. I will continue to update as time goes on. Hoping other residents write reviews to EXPOSE the BS. I'm almost certain they will have a class action lawsuit for FRAUD!!! Oh and "Mike the Owner" is a lawyer who believes he is above the law perfect fit for a SLUM LORD!!!

I recently applied there and I'm pretty disappointed. I spoke to the owner and another girl. Paula…read moredirectly explained the situation and had assured me that my father the guarantor would be the only credit score that would count. we provided them with more than enough documentation that in case an emergency he could cover the rent. I was told by three different people the same thing that it had nothing to do with my credit score and then when they sent the letter all of a sudden it was that my credit score was not high enough. The owner and PauLa were so extremely nice. unfortunately, when I was younger, I did get in trouble. Nothing crazy but I do have something on my backgrounds and I was nothing but honest with them up from the beginning it was years ago. My father literally sent over banking information that had well over millions of dollars in it. I asked to speak to the owner or whoever makes the decisions directly, and I was completely ignored by Annette. she claims I've only been here for a year if after a year you don't know the rules then maybe you shouldn't be there as I worked with her going forward. She was not very friendly. Annette's was completely unacceptable.. I do definitely feel I was discriminated because of my past history, which isn't an effective anything people make mistakes? What are you supposed to do not live somewhere, i'm hoping after this review that who's ever in charge of making these decisions that they will reach out to me. it's a very lovely community and I would've really enjoyed living there,.n

The management replaced the door and painted molded places in the bathroom. Unfortunately a few month later after I moved in, the mold was back in my bathroom. I have 9 years old daughter who suffers from allergy and asthma. I was forced to move before my lease has expired. Victoria April, 2015 Dear Steven, Thank you for your reply. The smell of the mold it's very dangerous and you need to hire a special MOLD INSPECTION company instead of maintenance staff to find out where the mold exist! Also talking about the Black Dust in my apartment outside and inside it's Fair Lawn Commons responsibility to change filters and keep the balcony clean! Using the Clorox: you will be very surprised but for the people who is taking daily asthma medication it's not a good idea to use CLOROX!!!! Also my bathroom painted before I moved there. The mold show up after I moved there. It was not my request. My request was the smell of the mold and visible mold on the sliding door! The door was replaced by maintenance. The smell of the mold is still exist ! THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS FULL OF THE ANIMAL HAIR AND NEVER HAS BEEN CLEAN! All black dust is coming inside from the outside. The filter located inside of the apartment is black. Thank you.

The only reason this didn't get one star is the building us under new ownership, and it appears the new owner has some common sense.

I have lived here for almost 3 years and now reading all the maintience failure requests on here it…read moreis starting to add up. I have no had screens on any of my windows since I've moved in. I have 2 small children, one on oxygen and I've been voicing this concern and keep getting told "they dont make that size screen anymore".... which in result you'd think by now (3 years later) they would find a new window/screen company. My preception is they don't want to spend the extra money to get updated appliances. It is now the third summer without screens on my windows, so we cannot enjoy fresh air ever because there is constant bees/moquitoes/ any outside bugs. I understand we are in a woodsy area but then maintence needs to do better making sure we are safe and our children are safe in our apartments! About a year ago they brought me a USED refridgerator because my brand new one that the provided was over freezing, so instead of getting me a new one they gave me an old used one. I had to clean it myself and it has still not been replaced. But aisde from even that.... we've had a new issue arise where the HVAC in one of the closets was leaking so bad it we the entire closet carpet and they had to rip it up. 3 days ago, they came with a large fan and left it here for about 9 hours (Which of course we pay for electricity, so i had to call myself for them to come pick up the fan) they then put a bucket under to catch all the dripping water. NOBODy has came back since. I've had to emtpy this giant bucket of water myself for the last 2 days. Called yesterday, and again today and still nobody came. The maintince looks like its been out of control for over 10+ years, and I really do enjoy living here, so I hope they can be more on top of maintence requests and being considerate of the tenants and children.

Let me start by saying that this place is actually one of the nicer and newer rental apartment…read morecommunities to live in. That's the ONLY good thing that can be said about it. They have 2 bedroom apartments which have 2 full baths and central air and forced hot air with washer/dryer inside the units but don't include utilities such as water, gas or electricity. I've been living here since April 2014 and my rent was $1745/mo until i renewed my lease in 4/2015 when they raised my rent to $1765 and then when I renewed my rent this year in 4/2016 they increased it to $1805. So they basically raised my rent by $60/mo and yet whenever there were maintenance related issues, they either did nothing or took their sweet time to fix them. Not to mention my wife and I have been searching to purchase a home and asked the property to go month to month so they charged us half of what our new rent payment would be going forward ($902.50) in our case and again - when it comes to maintenance they do little to nothing! It's absurd how the property management treats their tenants. This is typical for apartment communities owned by Garden Communities as we lived at Knoll Gardens in Lake Hiawatha (Parsippany Troy-Hills), NJ prior to this place, though they actually included water and we just paid for gas and electricity and were a lot better with maintenance than Kinnelon ridge. Now the property maintenance/management staff is almost completely useless. There's a few names to mention here: Amal (office manager), Anne (Kinnelon ridge property manager), the "superintendent", Dan greenzweig (who's a complete douchebag with absolutely no respect for tenants and acts like he owns the property or something), and Joseph Frish (Garden Communities' manager) who's a toolbag with no concern for tenants' issues. Amal almost always has condescending comment for issues I've had. To name a few, I had Yellowjacket bees (or wasps?) in my son's room last summer when he was only around 8 months old and she thought it was "hard to believe" and when I told her I caught a couple of them, her response was oh well we have bees on our apartment too, it's normal to have them". Are you friggin kidding me?! I told her that if my son ever gets stung by one, there will be a serious lawsuit on their hands. So finally after a week of me demanding a professional exterminator to come and spray the building, she finally called. For that to happen, I had to speak to Joseph Frish, and he must've yelled at or threatened to fire Amal because she was pretty understanding about a few maintenance requests I made to her after that and didn't make remarks. I only had to deal with the Kinnelon ridge property manager Anne once but she didn't really do anything whenever I had to go over Amal so she was useless. The super - dan greenzweig - literally cursed me out when I was working out in the community gym one night around 9pm because I was dropping the weights too hard and when the gym closes at 10pm he comes out telling me to get the f#ck out and that he'll revoke my gym privileges if I didn't leave when I asked him if I could just finish my last set of exercises which was five more minutes. When I spoke with Ann the next morning about his disrespectful intense attitude, she didn't ask me whether or not he apologized but went on to tell me "well he lives in the apartment next to the gym (which I had no idea about and told dan that if I HAD known that, I wouldn't have been dropping the weights and sincerely apologized and got a response of "I don't want your f#cking apology just get the f#ck out), and has a one year old child." I told her well that doesn't give him the right to talk to tenants that way and she said we apologize for that. That dickhead shouldn't be working here with an attitude like that. I then told Joseph Frish that I don't want that asshole anywhere near or in my apartment and all his response was "well did he apologize to you?". I told him I didn't want his apology since he didn't wanna accept mine and told him he should be written up but who knows if he ever did. There have been a laundry list of maintenance issues that we've had and took forever to address by the maintenance & mgmt staff but I just don't have time to list them all out. One major recent one we've had is a bird got into one of the ducts in the building and it smells nasty from the vent in our bathroom which happened 5 days ago and Amal said she'd have a roof company come on Fri 5/20/16 to get it out but never actually called them and we've been arguing with Mgmt to get it addressed all wknd and we had because we come to find out yesterday that no one was ever called and the issue will be addressed on Monday. If anyone from Mgmt is reading this, you better not expect your rent next month for making us deal with this inconvenience! You're lucky to get 1 star, otherwise I'd give -10 if I could!! New potential tenants beware of this place!
