I lived in PD apartments from 9/18-8/22 and had a decent experience. Each year, the rent increased by approximately $100. A month after my first renewal, they notified us they were constructing a 3-story apartment complex with 7AM start times right behind our building. Later that winter, my car was towed because their system couldn't find the number on my parking sticker; however, they covered the fee. To make moving easier, I downsized to a one bedroom located on the basement level with uneven concrete floors and LVT flooring, plus cheap shaker cabinets but no drawers for storing silverware(?). Stainless steel entry-level GE appliances were included though! Additionally, since closet doors weren't cut properly for new carpet installation, they kept falling off their tracks; this resulted in me being charged $421 as "prorated carpet damages" despite living there for only thirteen months. There are nice amenities like grass mowed twice weekly and an office that answers calls 9-5 daily; there's also a pool in the shade along with treadmills in a low ceiling trailer which give off an authentic corporate vibe. However, residents must pay for doggy DNA tests even though dog poop can still be found around — maybe it's why securitI lived in PD apartments from 9/18-8/22 and had a decent experience.

Lastly they gave us toilet plungers when COVID quarantine was declared — very thoughtful of them!more ...hide ...
I was ecstatic when I moved into Princeton last June, however, the enthusiasm quickly dissipated due to the terrible experience I had over the course of a single year there. The building seemed decent from afar, but upon closer inspection it was apparent that it wasn't up to code. My upstairs neighbor would often make loud noises late at night, depriving me of sleep and affecting my performance at work. On two occasions I found myself without hot water and even worse; a critter had infested my kitchen due to faulty seals under the sink! In addition, rainwater was able to seep through poorly insulated walls in their laundry room and ruin some of my possessions. When I requested reimbursement for these items from their recommended renters insurance provider they denied my claim!? What is the purpose of having such insurance if not for protection against this kind of thing? Andrea DeLuca (the manager) laughed at me when I asked her about compensation - which left me feeling dismayed. After months of remaining quiet in hopes that they would eventually do something right; black mold began forming on more items in my apartment as no proper mold prevention had been employed after said water intrusion - which they attributed to me lightinI was ecstatic when I moved into Princeton last June, however, the enthusiasm quickly dissipated due to the terrible experience I had over the course of a single year there.

After months of remaining quiet in hopes that they would eventually do something right; black mold began forming on more items in my apartment as no proper mold prevention had been employed after said water intrusion - which they attributed to me lighting candles (though all items were new). Only after confronting them with evidence did they offer a small refund towards some damaged belongings. This entire ordeal has been very stressful and disheartening; if it weren't for putting up a fight nothing would have been done regarding restitution. It's wrong how people canmore ...hide ...
