  1) The rent is too high. Someone told me it was impossible to find a place under $2,000 near Dartmouth. But I’ve now found a similarly sized apartment (2B1B) for just $1,500 per month. 2) The electricity bill was abnormally high. I hardly used any electricity since I spent most of my time at school, yet I had to pay over $100 per month. After moving to a new place, my electricity bill dropped to under $50 a month. 3) There was dog poop everywhere. 4) Poor management and rude staff.

  Lived here for 2+ years. After leaving, they charged me a late fee (which I was not late) and sent my security deposit minus the fee. I deposit the check in my bank, a few days later the check bounces and I'm negative -$1000 in my account causing harm financially. No communication, does not pick up the phone, no explination. Would never rent from a company that does business like that. I still have not recived my money and they still owe me money to this day. Long story short, decent apartments, quiet community but terrible management that does not communicate and bounces checks. Update (Oct 5, 2025): I moved out in late August 2025. The original security-deposit check the property issued was returned unpaid, which pushed my account about –$1,000 and caused fees. Management later said they reissued the check and that a computer error caused a late fee (which they said was credited back). As of today, I still haven’t received the replacement check or reimbursement for the bank fees. I’ll happily update this review once the full deposit and fees are resolved. Nice, quiet apartments—but communication and follow-through from management have been poor.

  For visiting scholars and F1/J1 students on OPT (especially those working as volunteer research assistants): DO NOT apply for Stone Farm Apartments. TL;DR • Not responsive – They rarely reply to emails or return phone calls until after you pay the deposit. • Unrealistic income requirements – They only accept paystubs or a job offer letter, requiring 3x the rent in monthly income or a U.S. guarantor earning 5x the rent. • Unprofessional communication – Their emails are poorly written, and they lack transparency about policies before you apply. ⸻ My Experience • I graduated from the University of Michigan, and used recent bank statements to show I could cover rent despite not having current income. • However, Stone Farm does not accept bank statements as proof of income. They insisted on either paystubs or a job offer letter. • For my case (visiting scholar with no income), I clearly do not qualify, and I doubt even most PhD students or postdocs would meet their income standards. ⸻ Unreasonable Requirements • They require: • Monthly income = 3x rent (around $7,545/month), or • A U.S. guarantor making 5x rent (around $12,575/month after tax). • These conditions were never mentioned in their application materials. Anyone applying should be aware of these hidden rules. ⸻ Lack of Professionalism • They only responded after I paid a $535 deposit. • Before that, I emailed multiple times, called, and left voice messages, but received no response. • After finally getting in touch, I had a 40-minute argument with the manager, who just repeated the policy and offered no real help. • Their poor communication and lack of transparency make the entire process frustrating and uncomfortable. ⸻ Conclusion: I do not recommend applying for Stone Farm Apartments. The process is stressful, unprofessional, and not suitable for visiting scholars, OPT students, or anyone without a high, verifiable income.

  Microwave issues. My microwave broke and after submitting a maintenance request , I was pleasantly surprised to see one of the maintenance crew, Clayton heading up the stairs to my apartment a couple of days later with a brand new above the stoveWhirlpool microwave . He explained that although the main panel could be replaced at a lower cost that it was better to replace the whole unit. He quickly went to work replacing the broken microwave with the new one -he also fixed the knob on my stove that had fallen off. He was in and out in 30 minutes, even replacing the dishes in the cupboard above the microwave that needed to be moved. Many thanks Clayton for a job well done👍

  Stone Farm is a lovely rental community located in a quiet and secluded spot of Lebanon, NH. The property is beautifully surrounded by a forest and features very picturesque 3-story buildings built with traditional New England architectural features. Each apartment feels like its own separate home because the stairs to them are exterior, so every unit has its own door opening to the outside. On the inside the apartments are nice looking and functional. They have wood laminate floors in the living areas, which gives them a more homey feeling. The kitchens are also super roomy. Finally, one of the best parts about Stone Farm is the great management. The application and move-in process is super easy and hassle free. Jillian, the property manager, is incredibly friendly and oh-so-helpful. If you ever have a maintenance issue or any issues related to the apartment, Jillian will react immediately and do everything she can to help you. Overall you just get a really great feeling of community. Great place to live!
