If your looking for a great place to live, with respectable neighbors and respectable leasing Consultants who go above and beyond for you, go to Southern Meadows in Bayport. Everything is in walking distance. You have access to a pool, kids area, basketball/tennis area and it's just a nice town with all around wonderful people in and around the Community. If your interested call them and ask to speak with Justina. She's an absolute doll and will answer any questions, show you any and all possible apartments for rent. Did I mention that if you don't like it there, all you have to do is pay $500 and you can move out on your own time. While most places charge you the rest of your lease to move out. My mother and I tried the 55 and over complex on Sunrise Hwy Service Rd and Nichols Rd, Fairway Manor. And let me tell you, on the outside it is absolutely gorgeous. However, everything from the leasing consultant (Joyce) to the Manager of the actual property, is horrendous. So many things wrong with the place including those in a powerful position as Leasing and Management. We came to Southern Meadows and were completely blown away. Justina made every single possible accommodation to welcome us and to answer any questions we had. She went above and beyond for us. Every place we saw was beautiful and bigger than the apartment before. I wish their closets were to be a bit bigger but hey I can still make it all work. I guess things have really changed since those previous reviews. I haven't seen a single problem with the entire place. And we have been checking back on our own time, just driving through. Everything is so beautiful. Again, I would love the closets to be bigger, and that's why you see all the kids (blow up toys) and BBQs neatly pushed up against Residents own apartments. Its nice, clean, respectable. Everyone you pass, even by just driving through, always has a smile on and welcomes you with a warm hello. Please if interested in renting anywhere in the Bayport area, check Southern Meadows out and ask to speak with Justina. Weeks after we went in, we still stay in contact with her. Email or phone. She is such a sweetheart and helps in any way possible.

If your thing it to live surrounded by drug dealers, felons, and a LOT of section 8, and live three doors down from armed people breaking into apartments then you have found the right place. For my family, this wasn't the best environment. And, if you move due to these unsafe conditions they send you to collections illegally. You see, there's a nice little NYS law which allows tenants to vacate premises without notice if there are unsafe living conditions. I say these are very unsafe. Maybe some people can live like that, but I prefer to live in a place where the cops aren't being called every night of the week.

The people who gave 5 stars are made up people who work at Southern Meadows lol

have been living here for several years, and as i look around, this place only gets worse and worse. you can't polish a turd and you can't put lipstick on a pig. for all the hard work they try to make the cosmetics of this place seem desirable and pleasant, this it is definitely not. There are drug dealers, pest issues, noise complaints, issues with assigned parking spots. The staff here is borderline useless in getting things done and only with persistent complaining will something MAYBE happening, or getting the police involved. I don't have to tell you this place is bad, or unwelcoming, ask the residents of the town it is in and they will all be sure to tell you, a dump.

Dont do it. 3 months of hell left thank god!!
