Avoid Verdana Howell Like the Plague. This property was originally managed by a very competent and…read moreexperienced property manager. A little over a year ago the property management changed and the new manager is nothing more than incompetent, rude, racist and bias. Before I even begin you should see how all other reviews on other sites have been removed and no recent reviews exist because of the horrible ratings since the new manager took office. The new manager at one point stole my garbage can because it was left out for more than 2 days neatly stacked near my garage door. When approached she proceed to tell me how the garbage can belonged to the management company. When confronted with that statement and lease terms she claimed it belonged to me and was left in a common area. Some other eye openers under the new manager is her bias towards good tenants. Steal my garbage can but she cant enforce toys and coolers left outside. Not to mention that there is dog feces through out the neighborhood. When confronted on the issue I was told that they were taking care of it and fining people using a DNA testing service. When asked how they were testing it when its still sitting in the grass weeks later. Well you can figure out the answer and look on her face. The bias continues. The landlord who lives on-site and works without handicap utilizes a family members handicap placard to utilize handicap spot right next to her apartment building. Additionally since they have an additional car she took it upon herself to create her own reserved spot so she doesn't have to find a spot like other paying tenants. Oh did I forget to mention she has a garage and driveway too? Now it gets even better. She will harass tenants that she dislikes or anyone that challenges her. For example I had an issue with a tenant that was smoking on the deck which prevented me from using my windows and balcony. What did she do? Nothing. I had to begin a lawsuit against my neighbor and the management company. What do they tell me? I'm correct she's violating the lease but there is nothing they can do. In the meantime the neighborhood continues to become nothing like the "Luxury Lifestyle" they claim to provide. Tenants violate the lease by hanging laundry out side, even one neighbor has had a red cooler sitting outside for over 2 months with no action from the landlord. Whats more while there are rules about glass bottles on the pool deck and visitors having to pay the landlord takes no action. Meanwhile while my mother came to visit and simply sat with me on the pool deck for less than half an hour she checked the cameras and instead of confronting me and asking me to purchase a pool pass kindly. She used the lifeguard to come over and tell me "that one of you must leave or purchase a guest pass." This was beyond the scope of the lifeguards job and completely immature and unprofessional of a property manager. I wish I could say that this was the end of my long review however this gets even more controversial when the property manager takes it upon herself to spew her personal opinions about creed, race, sexual orientation or feminism on social media related to the property which has been documented to the point that she has since made her social media accounts private. Seems to me she doesn't read the news to the likes of Travis K, or Justine S. Now the best for last. The state of New Jersey requires licensing of all property manages that show and lease any rental property in New Jersey. To date since her assistant quit because of the amount of potential lawsuits. She has continued to manage the property, show residences without any realtor license, salesperson, broker/salesperson. For any critics please feel free to check the NJDOBI database yourself. This is a property to avoid until the current manager a relieved of her duty and the management company understands that not only is she a liability but the amount of people compiling information to file a lawsuit behooves them to remove her from managing the property.

Even though I am eligible to live in a 55+ community I don't want to. I want to have neighbors with kids, young and old. I love to chat with people of all ages out walking their dogs. Smiles and waves from from the people you pass is the norm here. The office & maintenance staff take the best care of you possible. Every interaction begins with a broad genuine smile from them and an honest attempt to meet my requests. Sure they have rules to follow, but that keeps chaos at bay and creates the lovely community we have here at Verdana of Howell. Come join us and make it even better. Ps. If you are grump, you will hate this place. I'm sure you can find a place you'll be better suited.

Drive north and in minutes you have access to every store and highly rated restaurant imaginable. ShopRite, Stop & Shop, Aldi, Twin Ponds FarmMarket, Jersey Mike's, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. Then you have Lowe's, Walmart, Target, Home Goods, Ulta, Kohl's, Famous Footwear, Wawa, Quick Check and so much more. Need more, the Freehold Raceway Mall is a short drive north as well. PS, the Georgian Chef is one of the restaurants that is excellent and well worth a visit.

The place is in horrific conditions & the harassment coming from the association group is unreal. The maintenance workers will harass everyone and anyone under the age of 99.

It seems the rent goes up at least once a year, and I have found it to be a friendly community. It is kept extremely clean and they have a very wonderful staff. I do have a few issues with getting issues dealt with in a timely manner. Maintenance is usually pretty quick and thorough. There are social clubs here in a few small amenities that you would generally find anywhere In the five years or so that I have been living I have requested my apartment to be painted, but it has fallen on the request for carpeting. The builder grade barber carpeting. That was here when I moved in was in terrible and I've had a professionally cleaned times But it's still is not up to my standards. But the people here are wonderful, great neighbors everyone always willing to help. We have very nice parties during the holidays and everyone pitches in. would generally recommend this complex with a few caveats.
