Anybody lived in Setauket Knolls Garden Apt at south Setauket? (Carlisle: apartments, lease)

[Marius6]

Setauket Knolls Garden Apartments, 41 Emily Drive, South Setauket, NY. How is this apartment

The location is very nice, I can walk to shopping. But the neighborhood looks crappy and their carpet looks decades-old, at lease from the pics they showed on their website.

I cannot fly there to see the apt in person. Is there any nice long islanders who can give me some insider's view on this apt.

Thanks a lot

Not sure where you are but a lot of our members are probably without power. If you don't get responses try again next week.

The area is good. I cant speak for the apartments.

Do you need to be situated near the University?

Look somewhere else. The management at this facility is completely abhorrent and unprofessional. Mary Corbo, the Setauket Knolls property manager, may also very well be one of the most condescending people I’ve ever met in my life. They do not take their tenants concerns seriously. After living at Setauket Knolls for a little over one year it took me four months to get my deposit back from them despite my lease saying it should be received within 2 months. Multiple phone calls were ignored. Email requests went unanswered. The same goes for the property management company, M D Carlisle Realty, who similarly did not respond to calls or requests for even an email response.

Then when I finally received the deposit back they had subtracted a huge amount of money, nearly $400 claiming that they had to replace an entire countertop because of a few superficial scratches which they claimed were fresh “knife marks” despite the countertop being in only mediocre shape when I moved in.

They will use the exorbitant deposit they request (ours was $3200 for a 13 month stay even though we worked at the local medical center and had more than adequate proof of income) to do the normal maintenance that is required for their apartments at your expense. The cheap materials they use here like their laminate countertops and vinyl tile flooring quickly wear out and they expect YOU, the tenant, to be responsible for the upkeep. This place isn’t close to worth the hassle. There are many more places in the area where the staff are far more professional and responsive.

I am sure the OP found an apartment 6 years later.
