It is a very nice community. I would say mostly all owners but some do rent, maybe 30% just a guess. It's a small pleasant community. The only negative thing I can say is the monthly hoa fees have increased more than they should which is making it harder and harder to afford along with property and school tax it's getting hard to manage. I have a few friends sell because of the hoa fees and assessments.

Grandchildren are allowed to enjoy a few hours of swim time everyday. The grounds are always immaculate. Dig friendly. My fur babies love to walk here and enjoy the dog park all the time.

Can't even take a walk without seeing someone passing out in the road or cops raiding one of the apartments. There was even a GROWN man masterbating in the middle of the complex in broad day light and no one did anything, even when I called it in. We had mice and due to it being the weekend they said we had to wait until Monday. They accept the lowest quality of people to move in. Meanwhile, they gave us a hard time needing background checks, etc. we both work full time jobs. 90% of the community is welfare, trash that sit home all day. Not to mention the poor conditions of interiors of apartments. They also treat their tenants poorly. We reported termites on our apartment and it took a month for them to come. Wouldn't recommend this place to my own worst enemy. The list of negative things that go on here is endless. Good luck!!

Twice they have scratched holes in my ceilings. They set traps outside but do nothing to rectify the problem . Every spring when things start to warm up there is a foul odor like rotting carcasses. In my bedroom. By the time maintenance shows up the odor is gone. This year I have been seeing flies and maggots In my bedroom. It is disgusting.They just ignore my requests. In addition the outside maintenance is also terrible. Shutters just fall off. The lawn is all weeds and they do nothing with the bushes near the entrances. The weeds are taking over.There are aunts all over the place. The property manager just ignores calls. Every year my totally inefficient AC unit breaks and they put a bandaid on it rather than replace it. The windows are shot and they leak and the apartment is very drafTy. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. Faucets leak and they restrict our water. My garage door pad never worked. I have no doorbell , although I've been told for years that they are working their way around to my street. In other words, they just say what they think you want to hear. There is no basic upkeep. I've been told that they are understaffed and overworked. Fairfield is a huge organization, and they need to do better! But, those waterfalls out front are kept in pristine condition!

You can't beat it for the price and location which is convenient to Target, you can literally walk a path that cuts through from the apartment complex to the store. They have a CVS inside so I've found it extremely convenient for medications. The two cons I have is parking and neighbor noise, since we live in the first building, spaces are limited when other tenants have guests. I would like to see more parking added, as there is room to be developed all around the building. The tenants downstairs have a teenage daughter who's constantly having huge fights with the parents. I feel that a one bedroom apartment is too cramped for them and we have to suffer the consequences of listening to the arguing late at night and early morning. Lastly, Mary Corbo has been excellent. We take care of this apartment as it is a blessing to us, and I don't expect any issues when we leave. She has been fair and consistent, addressing any and all needs we have, as long as we bring them to her attention right away.

Look somewhere else. The management at this facility is completely abhorrent and unprofessional…read more Mary Corbo, the Setauket Knolls property manager, may also very well be one of the most condescending people I've ever met in my life. They do not take their tenants concerns seriously. After living at Setauket Knolls for a little over one year it took me four months to get my deposit back from them despite my lease saying it should be received within 2 months. Multiple phone calls were ignored. Email requests went unanswered. The same goes for the property management company, M D Carlisle Realty, who similarly did not respond to calls or requests for even an email response. Then when I finally received the deposit back they had subtracted a huge amount of money, nearly $400 claiming that they had to replace an entire countertop because of a few superficial scratches which they claimed were fresh "knife marks" despite the countertop being in only mediocre shape when I moved in. They will use the exorbitant deposit they request (ours was $3200 for a 13 month stay even though we worked at the local medical center and had more than adequate proof of income) to do the normal maintenance that is required for their apartments at your expense. The cheap materials they use here like their laminate countertops and vinyl tile flooring quickly wear out and they expect YOU, the tenant, to be responsible for the upkeep. This place isn't close to worth the hassle. There are many more places in the area where the staff are far more professional and responsive.

I can not say enough good things about these two amazing ladies! They were alway friendly, patient and accommodating! They say some people go that extra mile, these women go way beyond the extra mile. Stonegate is a gem in the midst of mediocrity in the Middle Island area. Every picture that you see is what the complex really does look like! Except that the Clubhouse has been remodeled to look even more wonderful than it was before. The pool-always clean. Exercise room clean. Clubhouse with tv, electric fireplace, sitting/studying room with tables and chairs. Full kitchen minus oven for throwing private parties. Free coffee to grab for a day at the pool. Management and maintenance crew is what will make or break your stay when you are living in an apartment. There were new maintenance people added shortly before I left so I can't speak fully about them except that they are both very respectful. Gabe going above and beyond at all times. Neighbors you have no control over unfortunately. I had many new neighbors move In and out in those years. Have made many a good friend and met some very nice people. Although most people do keep to themselves. If neighbors knew each other and exchanged phone numbers like we did in the past one little phone call to say "hey would you mind not playing music so loud or late" Or if not comfortable with giving out #s then a simple polite note will do. ** I happen to like rap but my new neighbor played blasting satanical rap music, like evil monster sounds set to music lol very odd There are some people that move into a new complex and unfortunately were not raised properly enough to make any attempt to get to know their new neighbors. The only bad neighbor I had -well- all I can say is thank goodness I moved out. How is it possible to have issues with a neighbor and offer an olive branch and bring them a bouquet of flowers and have them practically give you a dirty look and say "thanks". Rather than trying to work out a few kinks they say nothing to their new neighbor but run to management with every little issue. Wether it is a one time occurrence or not. PARKING IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE IN APARTMENT LIVING Although there are no assigned parking spots some new neighbors begin by taking over someone's parking spot that they have parked in for seven years and when asked why they can't move over one spot just one spot their answer was "I don't want to get my feet wet" lol and WOW. I'm and older person and like the idea that I could see my brand new car out of my kitchen window. Too much to ask for I guess? The parking situation in this unit was for a very long time an issue. There were 6 units with 5 spots and one handicapped. There were no handicapped tenants in this unit. I was the only one that brought this up to management for years. Finally when the excellent current management came in they resolved the issue. Yes, no assigned parking but now enough spots that would not have been there if it weren't for me hounding Stonegate. (old management) Yes, no assigned spots. Yes people with garages are supposed to forfeit their assigned spot. Resulting in a new neighbor taking TWO spots. No, that is not a fair policy. Garages are not cheap. I was renting a unit I deserved a spot for the price of the unit and I deserved a spot for the price of the garage. ** most people do not get assigned a garage next to their unit** Both top and lower units were allowed to barbecue when I moved in. I owned a fire pit which at the time was allowed. I used the fire pit for many years until my new rude self centered neighbor moved in. There was ONE night that the person building the fire made it too big. That was a ONE time unfortunate incident. There was ALWAYS a screen on the pit. The neighbor ran to management yet again (allegedly) and I was told to have it removed from my premises within 48 hours. Which I did. The holier than though non smokers that have absolutely no patience with smokers move into a smoking complex and immediately get annoyed that people smoke? Huh? The entire complex became smoke free A MONTH earlier than Nov/2017 on October 1, 2017. I lived there for seven years and had to move out with only 3 months notice because of this change in policy. I have since heard of a renter that was not applying to new regulations who is being asked to vacate. Radiant heaters on the ceiling don't make the apartments super warm but a $20 small heater makes a whole room so cozy warm Ripping apart walls to add more insulation is ridiculously naive. Lol Stonegate was wonderful except for that one neighbor
