The Reserve at Becks Pond Apartamentos

We drove down from NJ and as we entered the property all I saw was trash! The garbage was piled over every bin and was spilling into the parking lots and then carried further by I assume animals or wind! We left without going on our appointment to see apartments!

In the beginning things were great but as time has passed, all that glitters isn’t gold. I’ve had issues with the trash. The residents must be blind as they overload the cans and drop everything on the street and walkways and continue to load up! The complex has done nothing to resolve it! Cameras or bigger bins come to mind! The trash flies all over and in the summer, that’s an issue. These prices are too high for this type nonsense. The rules state nothing should be left in the halls and yet... people leave their smelly shoes in the halls and no one will do anything about it! Why have the rules!!! Mattresses have been left on balconies and sidewalk, had to call. Cars with expired tags have sat for months even though I called and reported it. My car had been vandalized which I feel wouldn’t have happened if cameras were installed and to top it off now, someone is stealing my packages. Since we need key access to get in, it’s obviously a resident. I’ll be buying a home by end of summer!! Lee mas

Although this is a very well kept community, it is very expensive. The apartments are new and spacious. The staff is very nice but strict, they will be checking for violations. I did find that other apartments had things on their patios that we had out at one point but we were asked to remove it. I think that was due to our apartment being in plain sight to anyone coming in/driving around. The neighborhood next to the complex is not the best, it's quite loud and some people had their cars egged,... the eggs were thrown over the fence. There are no stop signs and people tend to speed through the parking lot, it was addressed multiple times, staff worked hard to monitor this. I would have loved to rent there again, but the rent was going up and I could no longer afford to live there. The dumpster area usually had a puddle around it, and if not, sludge was surrounding it, I had a pair of dumpster shoes due to this issue. When I spoke to staff about it, they told me to go to another dumpster across the parking lot...okay? Logically that makes sense, but I think we pay enough to live there, the sludge issue could have been taken care of. Altogether this neighborhood is very nice compared to many places in Newark, perhaps that is why it's so expensive. Lee mas

I have a laundry list of reasons to avoid this complex like the plague! Yesterday they turned the whole buildings water off with out notice to any of the tenants. When we call maintenance they already knew they just fail to notify anybody. This community does not care for they're tenants, and for the price it's a rip off! This complex is plagued with defects such as periodic building alarms going off, building lights going off, and crappy leasing agents it's like a revolving door of idiots. This... community has a lot of issues, and I don't have the time to write a thesis size paper on all the complexs problems. Lee mas

We have been at Becks Pond for just about 1 years. The facility is well maintained and the staff are friendly and efficient.
I would recommend a friend to live here.
