Ewing Town Center Apartments

I was a resident of Ewing Town Center for almost two years, and while the property looks appealing from the outside, my experience was far from what was advertised and the stores aren’t even open yet, I can’t imagine the issues to arise when that happens. • Decline in community standards: When we first moved in, we expected a higher quality of living based on the price point and marketing. Over time, management began allowing tenants who were not able to maintain basic community standards. This led to frequent noise issues, unauthorized gatherings, and even instances of neighbors facing eviction for non-payment. The overall environment declined significantly. • Lease & policy changes: Mid-lease, management added unexpected fees, including $100 for an additional parking spot, with threats of towing if not paid, some tenants got towed! I parked in the same spot for nearly two years with no problem, and suddenly it became an issue. This kind of inconsistency feels more like a money grab than fair policy. • Maintenance concerns: The building itself was new but not built well. We dealt with a leaking roof and soaked rugs and walls, and when new tenants moved in next door, cockroaches appeared for the first time in our unit. The amount of lighting in the community, good luck getting sleep. Issues like this were disruptive and unacceptable for the price point. • Move-out process: Before leaving, I paid a professional cleaning service out of my own pocket to make sure the apartment was spotless. Despite this, management still deducted a cleaning fee from my security deposit, which comes across as a standard practice rather than an honest charge. • Amenities: For a property marketed as “luxury,” having only two grills for the entire community is unreasonable. Simple things like this show that management is more focused on cutting costs than providing livable amenities. Be prepared for the security guard driving around speeding constantly!!! In short, what begins as a nice-looking complex quickly reveals itself to be poorly managed, with declining resident quality, constant policy changes, and hidden costs. If you’re considering Ewing Town Center, be prepared for frustration and disappointment.

My last apartment was at Lalor Gardens. ETC is a step up in both quality and price. Our only issue is the second hand smoke. It filters up to the third floor and can make living here quite unpleasant. If second hand smoke is an issue, you might want to look elsewhere. Management sent out letters suggesting smokers open their windows. Otherwise, it's quiet, well kept, and has much potential once the complex is finished. 3 stars for my low tolerance for second hand smoke for premium rent.
