The Hazel is a newer Bergen-Lafayette rental with in-home laundry, a rooftop pool, coworking and lounge spaces, fitness, courtyards, a dog run and garage parking. Residents praise the staff, clean shared spaces and community feel, while leasing and billing communication, construction or neighbor noise, apartment handoff quality and building access are the recurring concerns.
Residents often describe a friendly, community-sized building with strong concierge and maintenance staff, clean common areas and a useful mix of rooftop, work and fitness spaces. The main friction comes from the leasing and management office, especially around application timing, charges, communication and problems that cross between apartment construction and building access.
Residents repeatedly praise warm front-desk greetings, fast maintenance and staff members who know the community and follow up on everyday issues.
The rooftop pool, gym, coworking rooms, lounges, courtyards and dog-friendly spaces are described as clean, useful and well suited to a mid-sized building.
Residents like the large windows, in-home laundry, comfortable layouts and growing mix of nearby restaurants and parks.
Applicants and residents report slow paperwork, delayed hold-fee refunds, unexplained utility or payment charges and difficulty getting written answers.
Complaints include thin walls, drafts, HVAC odors, poorly finished showers and earlier construction that caused significant morning noise.
Residents describe frequently broken or propped-open entrances, garage-door failures, bike theft concerns and inconsistent enforcement of assigned parking.
A former resident describes months of shower drainage and mold problems followed by a disputed post-move-out balance; others report maintenance tickets closed before the issue was fully fixed.
The Hazel has in-unit laundry, a part-time concierge and a fitness center. Shared spaces include a rooftop pool and grilling terrace, courtyards and a dog run, with garage parking and EV charging.
