His friendly personality makes it easier to communicate in addition to his dedication to fix all issues. His wife Florinda is extremely helpful with any issues related to the apartment! Other staff members - Arnav(Concierge) always assists with delivery concerns or reaching out to the management. And lastly, Miriam - Property Manager goes above and beyond to resolve any service or billing related matters. The apartments are beautiful and spacious and the quiet area comes in handy when I have to work from home! Love staying here!

But I will exempt Somerville Parc because of how I've been treated and my great experience staying there. I lived in Somerville Parc for about a year. I would not have left if not only for my son's school location. There are a lot of positive things I can say about this place. The concierge is always available if I have questions or need help with repairs for my apartment. I love how secure the place is but at the same time easy access for deliveries. A very pet-friendly place. Which I love! But though I noticed a lot of dog owners, they still kept the surroundings clean. There's also an indoor dog park. Very useful especially if it's raining. The gym, though small, still has everything you need. It's also a nice area to run outdoors. I had a smooth move moving in and even a smoother move moving out. I got my security deposit within a month. Just amazing! If I need to be back in Jersey again and need a place to rent again, I will definitely go back to this place. And recommend it to anyone I know.

One guy that drives around in a white Tundra truck "checking things out" is probably supposed to but doesn't do anything. -You will 100% NOT get your deposit back EVERYTHING is very POOR QUALITY and from regular use. Don' even try to dispute or argue with them. Just save your energy. No logic in what they say ever.

When you call them back and ask, the male manager will literately threaten you! Very bad experience! Parking is very limited. If you come home later than 8pm, there won't be any common parking. The building is old. If you live on the first floor, good luck with all kinds of Cockroaches! The heating was very strong during winter and spring, and it's not adjustable at all.

I lived in this apartment for 6 years and I will miss this place. The super and maintenance guys…read moredoes a great job in maintaining the grass, parking lot, and apartment. If you have problems they come and help as soon as they can. When it snows they clean up the lot and sidewalks pretty good. The landscape is pretty well kept. It feels like you are quite at home with the trees, flowers, and green grass. I got to know my neighbors pretty well. They are nice people - students, singles, families, elders. It is a good mix. Also It was great to have a balcony and the laundry facility is right outside the parking lot. The location is also great for public transportation. It's 8 minutes to catch the Suburban bus by NJ Turnpike on rt18, 7 min drive down to New Brunswick train and about 10 min to Edison train station. Highland Park is a great walking town with lots of culture and diversity. You can walk to post office, grocery store, church, and restaurants. And also there are 2 parks to get some exercise - Donaldson Park at the end of the road and Johnson Park (bigger) 10 min away. The apartment is also within an hr from NY city, the jersey shore, and Philadelphia - plus or minus traffic of course.

My fiancé & I lived here for about a year & a half. We moved in when it was brand new construction…read more It used to be a factory building years ago. We actually watched our apartment being built which was really cool. We had an OKAY experience. To let people in the building, a guest types in your apartment number & it calls the phone number you used to set it up. For example- my fiancé & I both lived there. He was away on business & I had my parents stop by. When they came, the call went to his phone while he was out of the country & there was nothing we could do about it. He just had to let them in. The pool rules are SO WEIRD. You have bands for entry but can't have guests. Hours are strange. No music allowed. Basically no fun allowed lol There is storage underneath the building but the amount of space you get is ridiculous. Don't bother try to store your Christmas tree down there because it won't fit. You can store your bike though, it kind of just hangs on the walls. There are carts available for residents to use to bring things to & from your apartment. There are only 3/4 for 2 entrances & you're supposed to bring them down back to the door when you're done but no one ever does. Imagine going to the grocery store, coming home to get a cart & there are none, so you grab as many as you can, get all the way up to your door & see a cart someone left in the hallway- ANNOYING. People do that all the time. When you get the keys you get an actual key & a fob. The fob is what you scan in order to get into the building, you use the key to unlock & lock your door. They also give you ONE key for the mailbox. Washer & dryer in unit- HATED both. The dryer always stopped when it shouldn't have. We got the Kodiak apartment design, which we liked because there was a little nook which we thought would be perfect for a sectional couch. We were told that the nook runs through the entire building because that's where the old factory's elevator was- pretty cool! The bedroom closet we had was sad. It was barely a closet. We had zero space for our clothes. The #1 reason we couldn't stay there, we outgrew it before we even moved in. VERY nice game room & community area on the first floor near the lobby. That's where we had our housewarming party- we had 70 people come!!! I doubt they let anyone have parties there after that LOL FYI The building is along train tracks & the trains are LOUD & sometimes run in the middle of the night & early morning.

Remember that saying, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me?…read more That is a really good rule to govern your decision making at this property. Viewing this development? - Shame on The Lofts at Helmetta for drawing you in with their marketing B.S. Signed a lease here? - Shame on you for being so stupid! For the avoidance of doubt, if you move here, you are at the mercy of the Property Manager. To be clear, this Property Manager constructively dismisses any colleague who is smart and has an ounce of common sense or calls the Property Manager out on their lies. Two staff have left so far and the only one that is left is the one that they are able to put the fear of God into (or they are just plain stupid for staying). Here's a few updates for you since my first review: 1) The landlord does not care about you. You are nothing but a check for their shoddy construction efforts. 2). First Amendment rights are not welcome here. If you write a negative review (like here on Yelp!), the Property Manager will be sure to consult with Counsel and see if you can be evicted (which you cannot). Heck they will even send you a Cease and Desist notice based on trumped up allegations, that under a deposition at Civil Trial would be shot down because the allegations are B.S. and the accusers are friends and employees of the landlord. 3). If you withhold rent because of their shoddy construction and the fact that the unit has habitability issues, you will be sued. How dare you stand up to this landlord for their poor workmanship. 4). You offer to pay said rent just to get rid of the headache? They will limit your options in an effort to get you evicted. 5) Contractors will deal and imbibe in Schedule I drugs and then return to work. (This likely explains some of the construction issues). Does no one here care about Health and Safety? 6). Have kids? Don't move here. Contractors will whistle at minors and the Property Manager doesn't give a damn. You will be advised that Construction have been notified - doesn't help in the event that your child is kidnapped and killed. Seriously, do we know who these people are that the developer allows on site, particularly when they don't care about your complaints and rock up to the job looking like they were picked up off Rt 18 that same morning. 7). Friends of the developer will be up in your business. They know who they are and they makes no apologies for the fact that they are "a friend of the developer". B*tch, sit your ass down, no one cares, least me and if you open your rat mouth again, the community are likely going to verbally put you in your place. 8). Liar Liar, Pants on Fire. That is what our Property Manager is called. Don't address them by their name because Liar is exactly what they are. Anything to save their ass and protect their job. According to their version of events, I withheld rent because of a cracked sink and a couple of other cosmetic issues. No. I withheld rent because of your cheap construction. Issues with the air conditioning, the electrics, the overall quality of construction, the problem with the mantle getting so hot it would likely combust and a laundry list of other issues - you know, stuff you would never tolerate yourself. Guess what? If you had done your job, we would NOT be here right now, but we are because you cannot do your job. I moved to suburbia for a quiet life, to take my foot off the gas and chill out. Unfortunately, I ended up with a cowboy landlord who has henchmen to make your life a misery. Come at me bro? Do not think that I won't fight back! Your reputation as a landlord proceeds you and the community knows your true colors.

When I first thought about renting here at the Eaves, I wasn't sure what it would be like, but I…read moremust say that I truly enjoy living here. I have been treated as if I were a guest, rather than just a resident. It's good to know the Eaves provides outstanding customer service and cares enough to guarantee that clients are happy with their experience. They also ask for feedback in a kind manner. I am always greeted and assisted by wonderful staff like Kathryn and Lincoln, and they also have a beautiful leasing office. The grounds are kept clean and tidy, and you will regularly see the maintenance crew driving around in golf carts doing various work. If I have questions, they never go unanswered and they provide you with an app to communicate with maintenance 24/7. Someone always responds and keeps you updated on your needs. On a personal level, everyone's actions show they really want you to feel comfortable and safe. For example, I was too sick this week to pick up new keys for my mailbox and Lincoln drove over from the leasing office to my building and left them in a cute green envelope with the Eaves logo on it. I would have been impressed with a key on the doormat so you can imagine how surprised that I also found a box of Celestial Chamomile tea there too with a handwritten note. It said "We are so sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. We picked up some tea for you. Hope this brings you some comfort. From your team at the Eaves". It's nice knowing that the staff cares and wants to make a difference. Not one person has an attitude when you need something, and they always remind you to continue to seek them out if you need anything. It's my first Winter here and the grounds are cleared regularly. There are speed bumps, so no one is racing around disturbing the residents. There are perks and discounts too. It's good to be home.

Also, bathroom tiles are falling off the wall- they asked me to use a 'public' bathroom (clubhouse) for showers while repairs are done. All I asked was to let me break my lease and due to the conditions to waive my penalties as it isn't my fault this apartment is not up to code. Management has been extremely rude, has prolonged this for weeks and unwilling to cooperate with me.
