  I had a 12:00pm appointment scheduled for today, 6/30/2026, which I was asked to confirm twice and did. I walked into the leasing office a few minutes early and greeted the staff inside, both of which did not reciprocate but I chalked it up to one of the staff already in the middle of supporting a prospective resident. The other staff member, a short man, didn’t even bother to look up from his desk when I entered. I awkwardly stood in the middle of the office waiting for someone to ask, “how can I help you?” but was sadly disappointed. A few more minutes later, a father and son walked into the office. Immediately the man asks the magic question. The father states he doesn’t have a scheduled appointment but would like to see available units. The man then asks him to take a seat and begins supporting his request. At this point, I wait a couple of minutes before politely interrupting the man and ask if I would be supported as I had a scheduled appointment and no one had offered to help me. To my surprise, the man tells me he’s going ask the gentleman he was just helping if he’s ok with waiting while he shows me a unit. Then the man states “actually do you mind if I just give you the key and you see it yourself?” I left. Their customer service from the start is incredibly poor and unsatisfactory. They lack the basic decency to greet people when they come in. After what I experienced, I’m not surprised to find within reviews that others had experienced the same. Now I know to check reviews while I apartment shop…. So far The Crossings at Hamilton Station have earned the number one spot. Their service and attention to detail has been unmatched!

  I had a scheduled appointment at 12:15, arrived on time, and my appointment was not honored. The girl in the office continued chatting about personal topics with another customer while I waited, and after about 15 minutes she finally asked whether I had an appointment or was just walking in. She had no idea I was scheduled, even though I was sitting there the whole time, and I was missing work to be there. On top of that, the apartment advertised on their website, the one I came specifically to see was suddenly “not available” and I was told the only units left were over $2,000. When I mentioned that I had just seen the listing the day before, she brushed it off and said everything rents “really fast” Overall, I felt my time was not respected, and the information they provided online did not match what I was told in person. The experience felt disorganized and not honest.

  I lived at Crest at Princeton Meadows from 2022 to 2024, and my experience was disappointing from start to finish. During our tenancy, we dealt with one problem after another, including outrageously high electricity bills, a constantly malfunctioning HVAC system, and recurring mice infestations. This was a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment shared by two working graduate students, yet the quality of living was nowhere near what we were paying for. If you’re wondering why I’m posting this review two years later, here’s the reason. I moved out in the summer of 2024 because the rent increases had become impossible to justify given the declining quality of service. Before leaving, we hired professional move-out cleaners, thoroughly cleaned the apartment, and complied with every move-out requirement. In fact, we received our security deposit back, so we assumed everything had been settled. Fast forward to September 2025—more than a year after moving out—when the management suddenly decided that we somehow owed $74. To this day, I have no idea what the charge was for. What makes this even more infuriating is that they never contacted us. No email. No phone call. No letter. No attempt whatsoever to notify us about any outstanding balance. You might think, “It’s only $74.” The amount isn’t the issue. Instead of making even the slightest effort to contact former residents, they sent the charge directly to a collection agency. Even the collection agency never reached out to us. I only discovered this a few days ago when my bank’s financial advisor informed me that a collection account and derogatory mark had appeared on my credit report. By that point, the damage had already been done, and my credit score had taken a significant hit. When I contacted the collection agency to figure out what was going on, I learned that the charge originated from Crest at Princeton Meadows. Naturally, I tried contacting the leasing office for an explanation. Unsurprisingly, nobody answered the phone. Just more incompetence and complete lack of accountability. What frustrates me most is not the $74 itself. It’s the negligence, poor communication, and complete disregard for residents—both current and former. A management team that cannot communicate a supposed balance for over a year but has no problem sending it to collections should not be trusted. I would strongly discourage anyone from leasing here. There are far better options in the area. For comparison, I would highly recommend The Crossings at Plainsboro. Their management team is professional, responsive, and organized. Maintenance requests are handled promptly, the service staff is reliable, the apartments have gas appliances and HVAC systems that actually work properly, and utility costs are far more reasonable. The location is also significantly more convenient, with easy access to Route 1, grocery stores, and the shopping center at Schalks Crossing. My experience with Crest at Princeton Meadows was frustrating enough while living there. Finding out more than a year later that their mismanagement had negatively impacted my credit score was the final straw.
