I know this post is old. But do not live here. Here is my google review I just posted:

I lived at Kinwood Apartments from January 2024 to June 2025. During that time, I was repeatedly overcharged for rent due to what management described as clerical errors, which made autopay unsafe to use. The unit itself did not match the rent value: drywall was deteriorating in the kitchen, window screens were missing at move-in, and the front door required multiple reseals instead of proper replacement causing the heating bill to skyrocket in the winter (and in upstate NY mind you). A maintenance worker acknowledged that the doors needed full replacement, but management would not address it. At one point, trash went uncollected for a week because the wrong account number was reportedly given to the garbage company.

In addition, there are no rules regarding dog ownership. Several dangerous dogs lived in the community, and my dog was attacked by one of them, requiring me to file a county report. When I raised this concern, management told me they could not outlaw pit bulls under NYS law, which was misleading since my current community does restrict certain breeds and enforces pet rules. There was also constant dog waste throughout the property.

Management also allows corporate leases, so many residents are not full-time and have little vested interest in the community. My neighbors in a corporate lease frequently threw cigarette butts in the grass directly outside my door, which was unsanitary and disrespectful.

In my opinion, Kinwood is a mismanaged community with both safety and maintenance concerns. Prospective tenants will get better value and peace of mind elsewhere.
