Bottom Line

Durham Woods Apartments in Edison, NJ is all about an ultra-convenient location just outside of the center of Metuchen. This property is minutes from several major thoroughfares, a hospital, shopping mall, Rutgers and numerous large employers. The apartments are starting to show their age with need of regular repairs.

Lifestyles:

COST

On the lower side– there are lots of rental options within a few miles of here. We took a look at six of the nearest apartment communities and discovered that the one bedroom apartments at Durham Woods are clearly less expensive than other options. The two bedrooms are also fairly low but there are some cheaper options.

LOCATION

Very convenient address – those who plan to commute north can drive around the corner to hop on I-287 towards Piscataway, Somerset and beyond. It is a little further to get on in the other direction but not bad.

If you are headed to NYC on a regular basis you can get a monthly pass to the parking lot near the Metuchen train station.

Nearby you can get to Wal-Mart, Costco and a Super Stop & Shop.

Within walking distance you can find Walgreens, Dunkin’ Donuts and several eateries.

CONVENIENCES

Laundry facilities onsite – living at Durham Woods you will have to bring your clothes to one of the common laundry centers as there are no in-home units.

Package service– your packages can be held for pick up.

PETS

No pets allowed great for anybody with allergies.

LEISURE          

Decent activities– there is a fair share of recreation options onsite at Durham Woods from a refreshing swimming pool to tennis and basketball courts.

If you take a quick ride over to South Plainfield you can watch the latest films at a 16-screen Regal Cinema or jump around at Sky Zone.

REVIEWS (from elsewhere)

Mixed– there are a lot of reviews for Durham Woods and we trudged through 126 of them to get the gist of what renters experienced. We found many of the reviews for this property to be unreliable however there were some clear trends as we compared more recent reviews to older ones.

Renters find this location to be a huge plus for commuters and for doing daily activities. The community tends to be family oriented with decent amenities.

There does seem to be a parking issue for guests and families with more than one car. We found several complaints about snow removal not occurring timely. Also, the abundance of maintenance issues and the speed of repairs seemed to be a sore spot with tenants.

Additional comments include: noise from neighbors, some upgraded apartments are nicer, and issues with laundry rooms.
