    TERRIBLE! HORRIBLE! SHADY

    Im reporting this entire management!!!!!!!! These people approved me, gave me a run around, gave the apartment away after I was told I will be contacted because Iā€™m on the WAITING LIST! And then cancelled my application due to them saying I wasnā€™t int contact. I recorded everything! EVERY CALL FROM THE FIRST DAY! Yā€™all take money and donā€™t do yā€™all jobā€¦ not with me

      They don't care to help with the repairs or anything at all. The water is brown and the basement is always flooded. Don't get fooled by the apartments here they are all broken down and not keep upkeep

        I was so happy to finally start reading some positive reviews because I have not experienced any of those negative reviews that I have just read. I haven't seen any rats or roaches or anything of that sort. My apartment building is very quiet, clean and well-maintained. So like I said, I was very happy to finally read some positive reviews. I was beginning to feel discouraged about living here, but then again I have no reason to feel that way because everything has been perfect since I moved here. Even the front desk staffed has been respectable and professional with me. And as far as the security is concerned, they are more than efficient. I've had a couple of complaints about the same tenant playing noise over my apartment, but when I complain to security they came immediately and took care of the problem. And I haven't heard any loud music ever since then. And yes, we have covered our floors with rugs because it's in the lease that that's what you have to do. I don't want to destroy these beautiful floors. And I don't want them to keep my deposit. So whatever those horrible negative reviews wereā€¦Ā See More>

          Why are all positive reviews from Google users and download names attached? Number one, not everyone who signed the lease agreement about laying carpet down on wooden floors and smoking adheres to the lease, place is very noisy. They shouldn't market it this way anyway. The pictures are deceptive. Even if the neighbors do not try to be noisy you can I still hear noises because of the paper thin walls and wooden floors. There's marijuana smoke constantly coming through my windows and underneath the door. Hallway windows are bolted shut which is definitely a fire hazard regardless of the fire escape outside of the windows. What if the fire escape was blocked! maybe the front door and window in the hallway is the only access even if the stairs were blocked. Still I cannot deny the fact that we have rude neighbors. I have to exterminate three times a year to keep the roaches out. Rent continues going up unfairly. So in a matter of three to five years I will be priced and forced out regardless how good of a tenant I am. This place is totally unethical and I'm sorry that I didn't take the time toā€¦Ā See More>

            The Wavecrest Gardens is managed by a group of incompetent imbeciles. Maintenance request takes several weeks to be answered then are closed out without ever being completed. The idiot ----------- who is the construction manager who does not know how to manage anything as he allows 3rd party contractors that are working for Goldfarb Properties to simply do as they wish at all random hours of the day without informing the tenants that pay rent so he can keep his job, which is merely a simple courtesy. There are roaches all over the properties, in the parking garage, laundry rooms, stairways, etc. The worst place I have ever lived at, therefore regret signing the lease and moving to a Goldfarb Property but will be sure to NEVER make the mistake again. ---------- was fired in June of 2020 because he was a complete dimwit. He generally managed the complex to the ground, not sure how he was able to run a muck for 6 years. -------------- is the vice president of operations for Goldfarb Properties which is the parent company, he is more knowledgeable than ---------- and ----------- but his priority is to to make decisions to ensure that Goldfarbā€¦Ā See More>

              This place is one step up from living under a bridge with a shopping cart, and the majority of consumers who frequent the local shopping center appear to have been doing just that. The management is doing all that is possible to accelerate repair and reconstruction of outdated units, but the unfortunate result is continuous disturbance of long-term tenants who are still living in said units, without any possibility of an upgrade. If you don't drive, or are conservative of fuel, it's a great place to live, since there are starting points for Queens and Nassau transit right at the front gate, but you'll find the noise and pedestrian traffic to be irritating if you're searching for the 'coastal experience,' or want to sit quietly and listen to music on any given day. The beaches in this area are dirty, restricted, and generally unpleasant, therefore, the street side will be the majority of your experience. Dirty, low-class neighborhood, with instant access to immigration offices for obvious reasons.

                Don't even bother. The apartments look nice but after a few weeks here, you'll be miserable. The apartment I rent was said to had been renovated and gutted but I believe that they gutted the apartment and did not replace the materials that were needed for insulation. The noise factor comes from poor construction of the walls. Do not even bother considering bringing a baby here... terrible.

                  November 26. 2018 I moved in here in less than a month ago and I did like it at first, but now ready to break as soon as i find a new apartment i like due to a gross display of unprofessionalism by a front desk personel at the 20-10 seagirt blvd office.On Monday, November 26, 2018, I was in the 20-10 seagirt blvd office to conduct an official business as a new tenant at approximately 11:44 am. The front dest personnel assigned on duty at that time stated to me " you have to leave and come back at 01:00 pm.because its only 4 minutes to 12:00 pm and I can't take care of you before I go out to lunch at 12:00 pm." I was taking aback for a moment so I asked, do I have to leave because its only 4 minutes to your lunch? The same front desk personnel stated to me again " Yes" " we close the door at 12:00 pm so you have to go and come back 01:00 pm. Well fortunate for me the well trained professional who was assigned to my application, probably overheard the display of gross unprofessionalism by theā€¦Ā See More>

                    I lived here for 3 years and I couldnt be happier to be leaving. Im not even waiting for my lease to end, its such a --------. Its a horrible place to live. Garbage is stored in the basement for rats and mice to thrive on and a horrendous stench permiates through the building.The building are roach, rat and mouse infested. Paint peels from walls every 2 months and maintenance simply over it after you beg them to come for 1 month. Security find every an any reason to fine tenants rather than secure the building, they're a joke. The only pets allowed are the rats and mice that over run the buildings. There isnt any parking if you arrive after 6pm. A garage spot is $120 a month plus a security deposit and there is a waiting list. The laundry rooms and machines are broken down and just junky.

                      Its easily accessible by public transportation, supermarket is right around the corner and beach is right there. They're renovating the buildings and apartments, I can't wait to see what they will look like when they're done.

                          I have lived here at Wavecrest since 2015 and not planning to leave anytime soon. The summers here are great as you can just walk to the beach or run on the boardwalk. My kids enjoy playing in the parks they have here on the grounds. In the winter having a Gym here is great. If anything breaks in the apartment maintenance is fast and responsive. I also have an underground garage spot I do pay additional for but it is totally worth it.

                            This is a horrible place to rent an apartment. Dont live here. Caught 5 mice in 2 days. Bathroom paint peels and molds. They come and repaint every 4 or 5 months. You have to take off from work because they dont work on weekends. They charge you fees on top of your rent for improvements outside the building yet they are content with the fact that the apartment you live in stays roach and mice infested and is a health and safety danger zone. Dont forget the laundry room with 1 cart and a machine thattakes your $ instead of loading your card and the wavecrest isnt responsible for it so your on your own and basically lose your $. Office staff are rude and unwilling to help. Management is never available. They simple pass the buck and sweep you under the rug. This is the furthest thing from luxury. Its hell.

                              I have lived here for several years now and Wavecrest Gardens has been great. I love my apartment & community. I use the gym daily, I rent garage parking & if there is ever an issue or repair needed I call maintenance and the come to fix it. Summers by the beach here are amazing. I did not rent an Oceanview apartment but I am thinking of requesting to transfer to have a view of the Ocean.

                                i am sick of people bashing my home online because of one bad experience. my family and i have lived here for 15 years and have had a great experience, that only has gotten better in the past years. noise: as i mentioned in a previous response - yes you can hear your neighbors, i can hear when the 3 year old upstairs jumps, or when my neighbors are getting home from work but this is an apartment building. if you cannot tolerate noise, maybe you should buy a house grounds: are you kidding? this is the nicest looking property in a 20 mile radius. it looks like a college campus in the summer - the grounds are gorgeous, well maintained, and winter time they do a great job with snow removal. safety: lights everywhere, 24 hour security neighborhood: shopping center a few feet from my building, A train 3 blocks away, express bus out front, new park on 17th is great. never had an issue here - wish the schools were a bit better but the private schools are amazing. maintenance: same or next day service, the super in my building is real chill. staff: never hadā€¦Ā See More>

                                  Badbugs..... I moved to the one of the best apartments of this complex and had to leave in 3 weeks. I informed them 3 days after moving in and left 3 weeks after due to BADBUGS !!!! And you know what ? They hired a lawyer and we had a court; the court decision was to pay few extra month as this problem with Badbugs was resolved! Really? Can you imagine those Badbugs in my new furniture and I had had stay there for whole year then? Terrible experience.
