Summerfields West - Williamstown, New Jersey

The 'owners' say "...resort style amenities" HA HA that is laughable. We lived there 7 years - in which time we know All the Facts. THEY are the ones out of touch with people as human beings. And the Municipal taxes did not go up enough to warrant $35 from EACH house in SFW and that is EVERY month
Old review: I was reading the Summerfields page and it is Laughable how they describe it "no taxes (except for the EXTRA you pay in your lot rent for THEIR property taxes going up); no maintenance - REALLY? NOT..; " Selling out? People who move in, find out what it is Really like and want to move out!

The people who own the homes are nice and generally friendly. However, the management and owners are rude, entitled, and downright arrogant. They are only interested in your money and nothing else. I would look elsewhere for somewhere to retire or at least somewhere that cares about the people who pay their rent.

Edit: In response to Summerfields finally responding to my review after 4 months.... I don't live in the community but my parents do. They've lived there for 6 years now and it has gotten progressively worse over time. They've had to fight for everything they've wanted to do to their house and rented lot, causing a lot of stress for them in what is supposed to be their place to relax and enjoy retirement. The lot rent goes up every year with no explanation as to why other than "because we can", if the office responds to the inquiry at all. My original review still stands as I believe you would be better off looking elsewhere to downsize and retire to. This is my only "agenda".

Just moved in to a beautiful Brook model in Summerfields West last month. Every person I’ve met has been kind and welcoming. The staff is very helpful and efficient, responding to any questions or concerns immediately. From the owner to sales people, office staff, maintenance staff, warranty manager, property manager, neighbors…they all have been wonderful!
My house and this neighborhood are absolute gems and I’m so blessed to have the opportunity to live here!

Patty Lamplugh was selling us a house and we absolutely loved it!!! We had some hurdles but we we’re pre approved ( have the pre approval) had $ $1000 dollars down for deposit! Wanted to bring the rest of the deposit money to her but she said no. Well out of no where she sold the house to someone else! We had kept in touch with her the whole time. The mortgage lady went out sick and were told but another person who worked in the office they were short handed and had to wait until she came back to go any further. We called Patty Lanplugh and told her. At NO time did she say she sell the house to someone else!! We thought we were pre approved, had the down payment $1000 down just waiting for mortgage lady to come back from being sick get everything signed and move in!!! Nope!! Patty Lamplugh sold the house and while we were at our grandsons lacross game left a message in my husbands voice mail!! My husband called her in the phone, we were crushed her answer was it is business!! She feels she did nothing wrong!!! I have been sick since all this happened! But I have to move in( very bad diabetic , my health isn’t good. But Patty Lamplugh you were 100 percent wrong what you did to us!!! I believe in karma !!! If you did it to us what will you do to other people!!

I cannot wait until we move into our new home in Summerfield West. My husband and I looked all over for a 55 plus community, and we were so happy to find Summerfield West. Beautiful place and wonderful people that I have meet. The management is terrific Anne Marie is GREAT, construction men have been great. I am so happy to be moving in such a beautiful place. There should be NO complaints AT ALL about Summerfield West management, construction workers or anything else.

Been working with these people for about a year now waiting for the second section to open. Very disappointing when talking to them today. Found out that the original price of the house was going to go up anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 in addition to the purchase price. This increase was based which lot you wanted to put your house. This is an addition to the increase in monthly lease fee for the more desirable lot. When I question the sales representative she was rude and said that the owner had to make money. Where you put your house should have no bearing on the price of the house since it has nothing to do with the cost of construction.

My husband and I over the years have looked at so many 55+ communities in the South Jersey areas...even down the shore and Summerfields West has just about everything we could want. We have not moved in yet but everyone we have met has been so gracious and so friendly and welcoming us already! There is always something we can find wrong in anything....but if we positively look we can find happiness too! We can't wait to now there!

Don't buy in phase 2. The prevailing west winds in this area will make you smell the bad animal stench from the farm all day. Also, loud dogs are in the area that bark all the time.

Response to owner's reply (1/10/20): There is a farm right across the street on Corkery and a kennel across the street on the Pike. Why is the owner trying to deceive potential buyers by denying basic facts of the surrounding area? I know exactly which community that I am reviewing.
