Rutgers Village Apartments

Apartments are spacious, kitchens are very nice. Maintenance crews are attentive. Overall a very nice and safe neighorhood

I lived in Rutgers Village for 9 months. First and foremost, the apartments here are pretty old. The complex definitely needs to make an electrical update, as my apartment’s electricity was constantly going out. Two minutes after resetting the circuit breaker, out goes the electricity again. I lived on a second floor unit, but from what I remember, we weren’t required to carpet a certain percentage of our apartment. So, the people below most likely had to endure loud footsteps. I lived in the second bedroom of a two-​bedroom apartment and it is definitely not large enough for an adult. The closet was tiny and by the time I put all of my furniture in (not much — a bedroom set and a desk) there was barely any walking space. Plus, my window faced the pool. Not fun to be woken up to screaming kids in the pool on a Saturday morning in the summer.
The upsides are large kitchens, a quiet and fairly safe neighborhood, and for the most part, ample parking (though Sunday nights were often difficult to get spots). There is an air conditioning unit but mine was only located in the living room. The rest of the apartment was scorching in the summer — and because of the electrical issues, it was difficult to use a portable air conditioning unit.
