The Harrison Somerset Apartment Homes

The apartment quality is not worth their rent prices. The maintenance here is horrendous. On several occasions I’ve caught the maintenance crew looking through the garbage tenants throw out. The plumbing is horrible. My unit has flooded twice. Six months later and they still have not addressed the bubbled paint and now mold in the bathroom. The paint on the tub is chipping, I was told when I moved in my unit was on the list for a replacement. It’s been four years and still nothing. The tub now... fills with water and debris from the pipes daily. The elevators are frequently out of service. Overall this place is a nightmare. Save yourself the headache and avoid all Oxford Realty properties. Lee mas

If you want to know about this apartments, look no further than how they keep their property. There is a constant flow of trash in their front and back areas, despite being alongside the river and forest preserve. It is not uncommon broken glass or random trash floating around what would other wise be a beautiful outdoor area complete with open field, dog park, playground, fire pits and grills, and a pool.
The building has a beautiful view of the sunset and presumably the sunrise and has great... nearby restaurants. It also has its own gym that's not bad. It's really a shame they don't really care about how their property is maintained. Regular fliers appear in the elevators demanding change from the managers. Lee mas

I am renting a Studio. It's pretty good in size, appliances and it has a great view from the balcony on Raritan River and SHI Rutgers stadium. Just 5 minutes walking from Johnson park. Very nice and helpful staff. Extremely secure place.

My apartment is fairly nice but when things go wrong, boy do they. Balcony dividers for multiple apartments broken since 2/2020. It’s now 10/2020. Elevators are often broken, if you come home between 5 and 7, be prepared to wait a while. They often take 3-4 days (or never) respond to email inquiries. Maintenance requests take almost a week to complete, even for the simplest things. I’ve actually taken to going to Home Depot and grabbing the things I need if they’re not too expensive. The pool... NEVER opens on time in the summer. It’s always at least two weeks late. Since the new company took over, the grounds are always dirty. The dog run is unusable as people leave dog mess down.

They also nickel and dime for everything, fee to bill our water now along with trash, sewer and “asset protection”. Oh and they’ll charge you a $350 amenity fee but expect you to pay for guests to use the pool now. Lee mas

This place is all around pretty awful and over priced. The Management of the building has changed 3 times over the past 2 years and they are all horrible and no one knows what is going on. They nickel and dime you for everything trash parking paying rent online im not sure exactly that else they could charge you for at this point. Also, your electric bill in the winter will be about 400 if not more last month was $513 with these temperatures we have been having. Not worth the cost to live here... and deal with the slow elevators that smell like dogs. Lee mas
