    Love everything about this place, except the one way in and out of Kelly Lane. High way is always congested and the circle is a death trap. But love The Willows. Once you get in, your home.

    3.5/5 Elaine on Jul 27, 2024

    I have enjoyed living in Tarditi Commons for 5 years. First, I want to say that the location is spectacular!! I LOVE walking around town and having a grocery stores, pharmacy store, restaurants, etc within walking distance. It is affordable, though I find the yearly rent increases to be high at these times when all daily living costs are expensive, especially on a fixed income. Our manager, Amiee, is helpful, thoughtful, kind, cares about us and is quick to respond to maintenance and even some personal issues. The residents are friendly. The building is dated and needs a refresh. Carpeting in the main hallways on every floor are worn, stained and cannot be cleaned. Repainting in hallways in lighter colors is long overdue and would be a great improvement. The property is lovely and has great potential for landscaping improvements. The parking situation was poorly planned way back when the building was built as they didn’t plan on every unit needing a parking space. I think that the parking lot has room for several more spaces to accommodate everyone if it was redesigned. New, more efficient laundry machines for so many folks would be a nice improvement as well. A laundry sink to access water to clean up spills would be a plus. I would love to see a safer way to walk outside from the front of the property to the amazing back property where a patio for safe sitting outside would be a generous improvement! Overall, living here makes great sense for my needs in a comfortable safe community! I’m glad to be living here. Thanks for taking the time to review my thoughts!

    4/5 Rosann P. on Oct 1, 2023

    I love living here however we were promised that the hallways and woodwork would be painted this year. These areas are filthy and need repainting. I feel like management feels that because we're older and the rent is somewhat reasonable that they don't have to maintain the property. The hallway walls and moldings really need to be painted.

    4.5/5 Charisma W. on Feb 1, 2023

    I am so fortunate to live here. It's located in a beautiful area, good schools, safe environment, updated apartments, and very clean. The only things I would have loved to see is a community gym and the paint that is used in the hallways, isn't the best choice. It's easily dirtied because it isn't a white paint that can be cleaned off. My advice would be to use a paint with maybe a gloss? or that's easy to clean. When people move in with heavier items, it can scrape the paint and cause the hallways to look uncleanly. The maintenance guys are always cleaning the stairs though, they are also always kind. Other than that, it's a great place to live.

Apartments in New Jersey under $900

Balancing snug and cheap is no joke when it comes to renting a place to live. “Are there any apartments near me under $900?” is a great question to start from. Knowing your budget means you’re one step ahead and on the right track. We’ve taken care of the rest and found 130 apartments for rent in New Jersey on which you’ll spend less than $900. A small, cheap rental means you’ll have to budget your living space as well. The great news is that keeping it simple pays off in more than one way. The cost of utilities is likely to run low, and you get the added benefit of not having to spend too much time cleaning up the whole place. Smaller apartments are more likely to be closer to the city center, so there are potential cuts to your transportation costs too. And here’s one more very special secret to add to your book-of-perks: you’re less likely to overshop when you know your space is limited.

Rentals near you under $900

Our goal is to help you find cheap apartments that live up to your dreams without crushing your budget. It may be a long shot to go looking for 3 bedroom apartments or even 2 bedroom for less than $900. The average rental size in New Jersey is 892 Sqft, but the $900 limit will probably narrow your search to places with a smaller square footage. Go through our listings and be on the look-out for a hassle-free studio or a 1 bedroom apartment. We trust you’ll turn it into a cozy home which is also budget-friendly to the core.
