Stonebridge Campus Living - Binghamton, binghamton-ny

Thank you to StoneBridge for the all-inclusive "Stone Age Experience" package! For three glorious days I've had no power, no internet, and no heat. Who needs modern comforts when you can live like your ancestors, for full rent? My lease says utilities are included. Silly me, I thought that meant I'd actually get them. Turns out "included" is StoneBridge for "included in your imagination." Very creative. Very immersive. I've paid rent on time every single month. In return, I've been gifted candlelit evenings, cold showers, and the chance to reconnect with nature, mainly the part of nature that's freezing. Who needs Wi-Fi when you can stare at the wall and question your life choices? But don't worry, StoneBridge never forgets what matters most: your rent. The power can vanish, the heat can disappear, but that rent notice on the 28th? More dependable than sunrise. Honestly, if they put half that energy into keeping the lights on, we'd have enough to power the whole city. Bonus feature: surprise utility shutoff notices taped to your door for accounts that aren't even yours. Nothing says "welcome home" like a mystery bill in the dark. Management is incredibly attentive, right up until the ink dries on your lease. After that, they achieve a level of silence usually reserved for monks and missing persons. Thinking of signing with StoneBridge? Don't. Try Amicus. Try anyone. Try a tent. At least a tent is honest about not having heat.

This company is so horrible every week they change their rules and how they treat tenants. I’ve been working for a compromise and have been thrown around to so many different employees each telling me something different. They are never consistent nor honest with how they treat students. Beware of this company! For important maintenance issues they are only open during certain hours of the day that affect the quality of living. I had a broken loft window for 4 days during a period of thunderstorms with numerous phone calls. Additionally, we were told the apartment would be cleaned and renovated but there was visible water damage on our ceilings and holes in every wall. This company will do nothing but take advantage of you as a student, I would never rent from them again.

My experience living in a Stonebridge Binghamton property was consistently frustrating due to poor communication, lack of accountability, and constant changes in management. I subleased my room for one semester to study abroad and notified Stonebridge months in advance before the new tenant’s expected move-in. Despite letting them know ahead of time, they waited until the last minute to begin the necessary procedures of moving in a new tenant. Her move-in was delayed forcing her to start work late — something that could have easily been avoided with better organization. Maintenance requests required multiple phone follow-ups before receiving attention, and repairs were often incomplete or delayed unnecessarily. Basic issues remained unresolved for extended periods despite repeated requests. We were required to vacate during senior week with 10 days remaining in May, despite paying rent for the full month. Our unit requested permission to stay a few additional days to complete the academic year but received no response after multiple contact attempts. Meanwhile, neighboring tenants were granted extensions after a single request. After moving out, Stonebridge charged all departing tenants a $200 cleaning fee that was not disclosed in our signed lease. The lease stated that proper cleaning would ensure full security deposit return, with no mention of mandatory turnover charges. After weeks of unsuccessful phone and email attempts to dispute these fees and request status of security deposit return, I visited the office in person. Since Stonebridge did not uphold their end of the signed lease (returning our security deposits within 2 weeks), the cleaning charges were dropped. However, my unit still has not received the security deposit returns and we moved out 3 months ago. Also worth noting: any positive reviews you see here were likely written in exchange for a free drink chip at a local bar. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Stonebridge to anyone seeking reliable property management in Binghamton.

I’ve been with Stonebridge Campus Living for almost a year and couldn’t recommend them more. I’m a student who moved in this June, and everyone has been extremely helpful from day one. Brock especially has been amazing — he’s always checking in and making sure my roommates’ and my needs are met. The whole experience has been great. Would definitely recommend to any student looking for housing near Binghamton University!

If I could give 0 stars, I would. The two years I spent living in a Stonebridge property have been continuous proof that they are mismanaged and a terrible leasing company. To start, our HVAC broke within a month of moving in, and despite their promises, took a year to fix. Second, our fridge broke and it took a month for them to get it replaced, after multiple phone calls. Although they claim they have gotten new management, and the maintenance team was friendly and did their best, there is clearly a lack of resources for maintenance and a lack of care on the part of the management. For a year, our back door into the alley would not lock properly. Additionally, although I had two roommates stay there over the summer during our lease, they had stopped collecting garbage for over a month and a half. It has now been a month and a half since I moved out, and a month since the end of my lease. Despite having documentation proving that I am owed $700 of my $800 security deposit, I have yet to receive it. Even after calling and emailing Lindsey Lancette multiple times, I have gotten no response. This is in violation of NY state law requiring that security deposits be mailed within two weeks of the lease's end. For all those who are considering leasing from Stonebridge, I strongly urge you to reconsider. While they send out 24-hour advance tour notices, they oftentimes do not have an actual representative from Stonebridge accompany potential new tenants. Instead, they either outsource to a third-party or occasionally do not send someone at all. On one occasion, my roommates and I were forced to give a tour of our own apartment to strangers because nobody from Stonebridge showed up. Additionally, it seems that each year they do their best to raise rent as much as possible to see if anyone is dumb enough to pay for it. One person told me Stonebridge had asked for $875 a month plus utilities at the apartment I only paid $825 a month for, with utilities included. I was confused by this because there had actually been no improvements to the property, and even the HVAC (which had recently been fixed) was barely working, as we were told we could not lower the temperature below 67 degrees or it would break again. In conclusion, Stonebridge Living is a pure scam - a negligent company run by people either too spread thin or who simply do not care. Any steps they can take to increase their own bottom line and avoid spending money, they will. I was pleased to find out that by the end of my time there, they had not found someone to rent my apartment and had been forced to drop their ridiculous rate by over $200. If you ever make the mistake of signing a lease with them, be prepared to fix everything yourself or live in squalor.
