Could hear every single thing my neighbor below me did. Heat never worked and I froze every night during the winter. AC unit had mold in it and you could smell it whenever you turned it on. Windows and back door never closed right and you could always clearly hear outside because of it. Snow removal was awful. Property manager would just let himself in randomly, including one time when I was taking a shower. Some units have moisture and mold issues, and I knew one guy a few units over that had to throw away all of his clothing and shoes because of the mold on them. The buildings and grounds were poorly maintained when I lived here. It was basically like living with my downstairs neighbor as I could literally hear every single thing they did, even though we had separate units. Just awful. House centipedes, large beetles and more inside the apartment constantly. Disgusting. Absolutely shameless property owners. Do not recommend

The buildings were built in the 1960's s and the brick does show it's age, but that too adds character to the living arrangement. The units are oversized, and you faintly can hear your upstairs occupants, but the space is well built and noise is not an issue. The unit, I moved into, 1-1-2021, was fully renovated and well done. The Residence Manager, has lived on the property for 26 years and takes pride in his responsibilities and workmanship and it shows. This place is a wonderful little gem, and should not be overlooked. On a separate note, the upstair occupants are very friendly and respectful and I am blessed to have them above me. I look forward to meeting more neighbors as the season gets warmer and planting flowers around my patio space.

This Place is Way over priced for seniors unless they are on welfare and have no savings... The…read morerent was determined after all Income and Savings info was revealed. My mom and dad were paying over $1000.00 a month! There were some that were paying 1/5 of what my mom and dad were! Which they really couldn't afford with their income and all there medical / prescription costs (That obviously, is not taken into consideration sadly). It used to be a nice place years ago. It's such a shame.. The manager let it get run down. The office staff seemed to spend more time sitting outside and smoking than working. They would be out there for hours. The manager (Bob) was a big jerk! He was routinely rude with the way he spoke to the residents He was not caring at all about the people renting there, just about scamming more money from them. My parents were told before they moved in, that If they wanted the existing rug, ceiling fan and blinds in the apartment they would have to pay for them up from before moving in??!! Really. I have never heard of anyone having to do that in my life! They were told when they moved out they would get that money back when the next Tennent moved in and if they purchase them. My mom and dad put in brand new blinds and carpeting about 3 years before they moved. They have never seen a dime since they left and probably never will because it probably went in his pocket. I heard he made sure to redo his mothers apartment when she moved in there though, with new cabinets, and I'm sure new carpeting and blinds.. (probably with the money he scammed from everyone else) The hallway rugs have been there since at least the 70's when my husbands grandmother lived there and are dirty looking, I don't think I have ever seen them shampooing them, Ever, in 15 years. I was over there several times a week visiting my mom and dad the rugs always looked stained and dirty. The halls are dimly lit and have no ventilation and smell like they need cleaning. A whole other issue are some of the tenants they are allowing in there! Younger adults, mooching off of and living with parents and grandparents illegally (who are not reported tenants). hanging around outside, sometimes I would notice their interactions with people and cars that pulled in, I would swear they were selling drugs. One day on the way down in the elevator I noticed someone had hacked spit on the the wall. Which I reported and it stayed there for the entire day. Discusting. It got to a point that I would not allow our teenage daughter to visit on her own, We did not feel comfortable with her going in there and the elevator by herself. The only good thing about it was the location. I recently heard that the building was taken over by someone else, has a new name and that the jerky manager is gone. That is the best thing that could have happened to that place. Hopefully it is on the up-swing!

STAY FAR AWAY. Property management as absolutely horrendous, corporate takes zero responsibility…read morefor their employees and has zero concern for residents' safety, and the quality of the construction is beyond shoddy. I have lived at this property for over a year and while I was optimistic for a short while that things would get better, things have gone from bad to worse. They initially had me sign my lease back in January 2018, however, I did not know at the time there was no Certificate of Occupancy, which violates NJ law. Further, I had selected a move-in date in February and had checked in on the property the week before my move-in date to see if I could peek in a window to figure out whether a piece of furniture I wanted to buy would fit. I was horrified to see that the town house was far from being ready. From my limited view, I could see the laminate flooring wasn't down, the walls weren't painted, the kitchen wasn't completed, and there were still kitchen appliances sitting in the middle of the room. I immediately contacted the leasing office who couldn't give me any info and had to start calling around corporate the next few days for answers, to which I barely got a response other than we'll get back to you. I finally heard from leasing two days before my move-in date that it wouldn't be move-in ready for me (gee, shocker). Fortunately, I was staying with my parents during those two months, otherwise I'd have needed to pay for storage and alternate living arrangements. On my actual move-in date over two months later, I was really shocked at how hurried much of the construction was and how the property had been treated by the team. There were gouges in the floor, in the baseboards, and in the walls. Cabinets and appliances were cracked and scratched. Corners of walls had already been chipped. My walkthrough was supposed to be done with a leasing agent (Melissa Jordan), but while waiting for her in her office, a potential new tenant walked in off the street without an appointment and she pawned me off on the maintenance employee. Not a great start. Things only got worse after I moved in. My A/C had never been connected, so my house became blistering as soon as the weather became hot in early May. I had entered a maintenance request that went unaddressed for three days until I showed up ion the office on Saturday morning. Maintenance came over immediately and discovered the A/C unit hadn't been connected, so he connected the united. The first two floors were okay, but nothing changed in the third floor, where my bedroom was. For the next two months, I had to suffer through 90+ degree temperatures in my bedroom while I begged and pleaded for them to do something. They kept telling me they were working on a solution and working on a solution, that I was the only one with this issue, and meanwhile, my bedroom became uninhabitable. After a month, I had to send a registered letter threatening to sue the property and advising I was going to start withholding my rent until the conditions were fixed. It wasn't fixed until sometime in mid-late July and their fix was installing a ductless system upstairs that doesn't turn on/off like regular central A/C. It blows directly onto my bed and I wake up multiple times during the night to turn it on and off because I'm freezing or sweltering. Oh and as it turns out? EVERY townhouse had the same problem and their construction team that came in to install it admitted that they'd told the engineers the ducts were too small in the plans such that air wouldn't carry to the third floor, but their concerns were ignored. The overall problems in the development continued. Safety is a major concern with management refusing to install cameras and constant police activity throughout the complex. After a technical glitch with their payment portal that rejected my rent autopay, the complex is now suing me for unpaid rent and filed suit 3 days after the day my rent was due and the issue brought to my attention. Given that this was the fault of their chosen tech and a similar issue led the manager to extend the deadline for me many months ago, I requested an extension from the leasing agent. She ignored my email for 3 days and then instructed the suit. Deplorable and unprofessional behavior, total ineptitude in property management. I now have to take off of work to appear in court. Don't make the same mistake we all did. RUN in the other direction.

Janet, however is the most unprofessional property manager that JCM Living has employed. So much so that she had to contact her boss's boss - just to make sure that when we left (which was not only due to the wasp problem, but also the fact she was trying to illegally have her removed, even threatened to purposely withhold payment, so she could file an eviction proceeding, even though rent was always paid on time) - and furthermore, that she wouldn't be charged for the following months rent after she left, since she received an invoice for the month she wouldn't be there. Furthermore, Janet was rude and completely unprofessional, even when trying to leave the property. She even refused to speak with a current resident with legal counsel beside her - and acted completely immature while being questioned about lease termination. I would stay away from this property if Janet is still employed there. I do hope that this review gives insight to prospective renters, letting them know how incompetent the property managers are. Stay away. Rent somewhere else.

I've had the worst experience with Ken Gardens; specifically with Janet and Dawn from the rental…read moreoffice. They are both unprofessional and condescending to the residents. My first issue is safety; my car was broken into within 2 month of living there. I filed a police report and notified the rental office; they were completely uninterested. I asked if they wanted a copy of the report to have on file or if any safety measures would be taken. They never responded to my email. Secondly, my apartment was broken into and I experienced the same behavior; they didn't want to police report, took no safety measures and generally acted as if they did not care. Next, I had issues with a 'peeping Tom' in the fall. I asked if they would trim the bush in front of my window so that people could not hide behind the bush to look into my windows; they gave me trouble for months and advised I cannot get special treatment on landscaping. (They eventually agreed to trim the bush in the spring.) Lastly, 6+ months into my tenancy, I started recently Water/Sewage utility bills from Conservice that I was never notified of. I was told by Dawn that they would not back charge me because it was their billing error. Shocker... I am receiving $300+ of back charges and Ken Gardens is taking no accountability for their error or the fact they told me I would not receive a back charge and am now being back charged. Note, not all residents are charged for Sewage/Water; only selected residents. I am not typically a person to leave a negative review but Ken Gardens has treated me so poorly causing so much stress and I do not wish this treatment on anyone. I would highly suggest looking for another complex. Pickings are tough right now due to high rent prices, which is the only reason I am staying here MTM. I hope this review helps someone when choosing their next place to live.
