      Old reviews no longer apply

      The few bad reviews are old reviews that don’t apply now. The apartments have new owners and a great manager and maintenance team. We needed window screens, they ordered them. We needed a new peephole, they ordered one. They are redoing the apartments, and ours is new, clean and roomy. There is no assigned parking space, but we always find a spot in front of our building. There is a roach problem, but every month a professional comes spray and lay out bait. It doesn’t kill them all (yet anyway), but it sure helps. Some people don’t pick up their dog’s poo, but they put in doggie stations, so hopefully that will help. No problems with noise or crime.

      Property Manager at The Emerson Apartments, Responded To This Review

      Thank you so much for your honest and detailed review! We’re so glad to hear that you’ve noticed the positive changes happening at Stoneybrook and that you’re enjoying your new, clean, and spacious apartment. Our team is working hard to make real improvements, and feedback like yours means a lot to us. We appreciate you acknowledging the efforts with maintenance requests, pest control, and the addition of doggie stations—we know there’s still work to do, and we’re committed to keeping the progress going. Your patience and understanding truly make a difference as we continue to elevate the community experience. Thanks again for being part of Stoneybrook. We’re grateful to have you here!

      poor everything

      it has went down hill for the past three years i have lived her. poor management. cant keep a manager. to much drug activity kids breaking and destroying things. it always was looks trash around the grounds.

      4/18/18
      Terrible Management

      Not only will management straight up lie to you and give you backdated notices for payments that shouldn’t exist, they are apparently so terrible at their job they are fired at least once a year. Also, they take forever for any maintenance issue, never spray for bugs, always let their mowers throw grass all over your vehicle, tow cars in a biased fashion showing favoritism...the list goes on.

      7/23/15
      DO NOT LIVE HERE

      This place is not student friendly. Rent is more than a house payment and they don't tell you the whole truth when you go on the tour. They tell you that you will hardly ever go over in electricity, but the truth is that you will pay every month for electricity. It takes them forever to respond to things that you ask them about. There is a sublease but if you do that you have to handle things yourself, such as finding someone and paying a certain amount. My advice is that if you do decide to live here after the many reviews you read,is to play the lottery or hope to strike gold. GOOD LUCK!!!!
