Orchards of Newburgh Apartments

Do you do laundry? Guess what, it won't happen here. They can raise your rent without reason and none of it actually goes to new appliances. And even though it's common knowledge that basically every laundry machine is broken, the management had the audacity to leave a sign up that says "Use at your own risk". That is the care that Orchards shows to its tenants.

If you have a pet, save yourself money by never telling the office. they will never find out. There is dog poop everywhere on the... grounds, despite the fact that they tell you they can identify the type of dog that made the poop from some DNA test thing. It's all just talk. They wouldn't even know I had a dog without my honesty.

Bugs are atrocious on the grounds and in the windows, and crawl through the AC units.

The AC/heat are electric and draw a LOT of power, so your DTE bill is going to be hefty unless you like being uncomfortable.

Perhaps the worst crime they've committed, though, is the negligence of appliances. My toilet supply line burst early morning on a Sunday, spewing water everywhere. The shutoff valve would not turn (needed replacing). The water damaged my carpet and leaked into the neighbors apartment beneath me. Their "emergency maintenance" did not come out for maybe an hour. Had I not been home, my entire apartment and my neighbor's would have been flooded and ruined. Water was getting into the lights, so it was dangerous, not just inconvenient.

This is not a safe area, apparently. My bike was vandalized, and speakers were stolen off of my neighbor's bike. there are no cameras and break-ins happen a lot.

I held off saying anything for a while. I'm stuck with these people until January. but if I can prevent one more unlucky soul from landing here (especially with these probably fake five star reviews), then I have to say something.

However, if you like that 1999 aesthetic, musty/wet clothes, and waking up to a toilet flood, this might be the place for you! Lee mas

So far in this apartment there’s good and bad. Management never answers their phone but when they do, they are able to get maintenance to your place in a timely manner. When I moved in, everything was in decent shape for the first 24 hours… but then everything fell apart. The towel and toilet paper holders came out of the walls, the outlets weren’t properly installed and the covers kept breaking off… and there is NO CENTRAL AIR so despite the good price of this decent sized apartment, the PTAC... unit makes the DTE bill incredibly high.
Other than all of that, it’s a quiet apartment and everyone is respectful of your packages. Take all this as you will, but I personally won’t be living here forever. Lee mas

Overall its not a bad place to stay. Maintenance is timely when you have a request. They keep things clean. The only gripe I have is the thin walls. You can hear people through the wall talking and dog barking if your neighbor has one.

Been living here about a year and it’s a very nice place.

I have been here going on 5 yrs. Only the rent increases too much. Outside of that when I initially came was quite. In the past 2 yrs its been a little more noisy, due to change of residents.
The management part, I have never had an issue personally. I get my mail and packages never an issue. My neighbors we keep an eye out for our floor..

So far okay. I am still here because I like the storage space and ambiance of the property. I like the space of my 1 bedroom apartment and the layout.
