Resident Reviews

The community is a great place to live. Improvement is needed so that it is a “secure“ community as it is situated near less than ideal neighborhoods. Additionally, leases should be permitted for longer than 12 months and raising said leases should be done on a percentage basis, under 5%. My last rent increase was $200 per month (7%) and that is unacceptable as many residing in a 55+ community live on budgets & fixed incomes. Otherwise, the management personnel are lovely and easy to get along with. Maintenance requests are attended to in a timely manner.

I thoroughly enjoy living at The Cornerstone Hauppauge. I would recommend living here to anyone I know. I have been here since 2022 and hope to stay for much longer.

We have a great community with many friendly residents that we spend time with. The management is doing a great job of introducing new events and bringing the community together. They also do a great job of keeping the clubhouse looking beautiful

May 29, 2025

I wish there was a pool here. A pool in a community is the best way to meet other residents. The office staff is wonderful to work with. Any issue or request that you have is handled in a very timely matter.

Cornerstone Hauppauge is an extremely enjoyable community in which to reside. The premises here are safe, quiet, clean and well maintained. Community events are frequently provided and enjoyable. The management team strive to provide all residents with an outstanding and affordable living experience. We have resided her for four years and are very appreciative towards Andrew, Kristina, Dave and other resident volunteers for providing a wonderful living experience here.

There has been an abundant increase in the amount of dog waste behind the townhomes, especially building 7. People are not picking up after their dogs. Many dogs relieve themselves very close to my patio. It is getting quite difficult to walk back there there is a walking trail) without stepping in a pile of dog pool. The piles left by the large digs here are extremely large. Its disgusting and can potentially attract rodents

Feb 28, 2025

Its a very nice community, management is awesome! We would love to have a pool, but other than that it is a very nice place to live. Nice neighbors also!

Feb 18, 2025

Really nice community. Grounds peaceful and beautifully maintained with a natural setting. Administration and community events provided are top shelf. Safe and quiet place to reside.

Nov 17, 2024

The new management team are excellent! They do an outstanding job and make the community a better place! Would still love a swimming pool! Nice people that live here.

Nov 9, 2024

Very pleasant experience. This is the first time ever living in an apartment so far it is fun!!I have met some very lovely people and I enjoy our get togethers

Oct 18, 2024

The community is quiet and affords privacy along with safety. Although, adding locked gates at both entrances would secure and control access, ease any questioning minds while also adding further community appeal. The staff are all kind, welcoming, and understanding, while offering assistance whenever needed. Maintenance requests are easy and quick to file through the community App and 99% of the time handled (thank you Dave!) within 24 hours. Although my requests have never exceeded “high priority”, I am certain that anything of a more serious nature (emergency) would be tended to immediately. The community provides activities on a regular basis that are diverse and therefore attract tenants with various interests. So anyone can take what they like and leave the rest! The apartment units are modern, clean and very comfortable. While the surrounding grounds are maintained on a regular basis. I remain happy having chosen this community 6 months ago and highly recommend it to everyone!

Oct 3, 2024

Very bad experience they did not care I had Upstairs air coning in and 3 units of wash smells coming in and no body fix this my entire lease

Sep 20, 2024

Overall the community is lovely. The new management team is trying new events to bring the community together. I do think after three years your apartment should be repainted as well as the front door. I would also love to see privacy fences installed between the apartment patios. A hot tub or swimming pool would make the experience complete!

Aug 1, 2024

Great community with friendly people and staff. Love book club such a fun group of ladies. I like that we’re a small community too. The landscaping looks great.

Jul 19, 2024

As my wife and I approach our fourth year living at the Cornerstone Hauppauge we are pleased being residents here. The neighborhood is active and accessible to stores and other local amenities. Our community oasis is safe, clean and peaceful. The management and maintenance staff do a wonderful job ensuring the residents enjoy their experiences here with numerous and varied Clubhouse activities. Rents are reasonable compared to other Suffolk communities and grounds maintained beautifully. Thanks Andrew, Kristina and Dave!

Jun 29, 2024

The apartment is clean & modern and the response time for a maintenance request is usually less than 24 hours, unless an emergency which I have not had! Management personnel are friendly and always happy to answer questions and offer help. Moving from a 3 bedroom/2.5 bath with an attached garage townhouse, to a 1 bedroom/1 bath w/outdoor parking (AND under 1000 square feet) should have been a difficult adjustment…it was & is not!! I am very happy here & so glad I chose Cornerstone over at least 20 other communities I visited or ‘interviewed’ and ruled out on the phone. At the moment, my only suggestions to make living experience better would be (IN ORDER) 1) Make this a gated community. I believe I speak for many residents when saying that although feeling secure, it would go a long way in making things safer! 2) Obtain adjacent property and build a swimming pool 3) Allow residents to have garbage pails that are affixed outdoors. Yes, this is why I gave 4 1/2 stars when moving in☺️

Jun 22, 2024

I moved here last August because you had a social experience, with activities for us. I've loved these experiences and love living here!!

Jun 13, 2024

I have a terrible experience i complained and nothing is done I have the upstairs air coming into my unit with fragrances abs wax and the resident told me if she had a candle business she would not stop on the count of my getting sick that management would have to take the walls done or you have to move I took that to the community manager Matt Ambrosio and he did nothing I have been sitting in this 8 months now waiting on a court date to plead my case can you imagine this I can t this is hottie

May 14, 2024

Living into Cornerstone is very convenient as far as location and accessible. I enjoy the size of the layout of my apartment and the neighborhood is relatively quiet. I like it when you walk by someone they say hello.

May 10, 2024

We have an amazing community here in Hauppauge. Please consider the ability to pay monthly rent with a credit card (without additional fees) and also consider a discount for veterans who served our country. Many other apartment communities offer this.

May 6, 2024

It would be nice to have more events on the weekends so that people that work during the week can participate. All the day events are Monday-Friday.

Apr 26, 2024

Cornerstone @ Hauppauge is a wonderful place to live. The staff is amazing. Always helpful and quick to address the needs of the residents. Matthew, Michaela, and Dave provide great activities and extra care throughout each month. The residents are quick in welcoming newcomers. It is easy to find new friends here. Whether it's spending time gathering for book club, crafting, or game night there are happy times for everyone. I am so happy to be part of such an amazing community.

Apr 10, 2024

I have not moved in yet, so I cannot complete this the way it is meant to be done. However, I will say that visiting your community, and the assistance that Michaela provided went above and beyond the MANY others I visited. I am in the process of signing my lease and looking forward to becoming a member of your community.

Mar 19, 2024

So far so good. I haven’t moved in yet. Like what I see so far. Enjoy working with Michela. To see the different apartments. She was very professional in her job

Feb 23, 2024

I really do love it here love the community gatherings it’s a quite peaceful place grounds are well kept as well as the clubhouse and the homes are but I have an issue hope I get some help on it will keep you posted

Feb 10, 2024

Quite very nice the response to maintenance is very good . Events are very good need more events after 5pm we have a lot of people who work.

Feb 1, 2024

I have been at The Cornerstone over three years, my family and I are comfortable here, we have great neighbor's and I have made many friends that feel like family now. The overall management staff is always friendly and hard at work to make The Cornerstone a great place to live.

Feb 1, 2024

Our overall experience during the past three years at the Cornerstone Hauppauge has been excellent Our most recent experience occurred this past weekend when the temperature outside was in the teens and our heating system was not functioning We placed a service request with maintenance department and Dave was alerted Dave promptly called us and put repairs in motion Dave kept us informed throughout repair process and provided temporary heaters in case system vendor could not repair promptly Fortunately system was repaired few hours later Very thankful to Dave and others involved

Jan 21, 2024

Overall a great community, we do have some maintenance issues that haven't been addressed. I do think Dave has too much on his plate and cant get to everyone. Staff is awesome!

Jan 16, 2024

I'm having a great time living here! I moved here in 2022, and plan to stay for a long time. Everyone is really nice, and the apartments are beautiful.

Jan 12, 2024

I have been at Cornerstone Hauppauge for about five months now. It has been such a wonderful experience. The community has been so welcoming and I feel part of this family in such a short time here. Matthew, Michaela, and Dave are so friendly and helpful. They are quick to address any issues promptly. There is always so much going on at the clubhouse. Keeps me on my toes never a dull moment. From game night to potlucks it is a socially engaging and learning experience. I enjoy every minute spent with such special new friends.

Jan 6, 2024

I really feel at home here the apt I love it’s hime and Matt and Michaela make me feel part of the family Love the people to it felt like sitting at my family tab,e getting together like a family get together just a nice warm feeling and welcoming. They should sell the units to people who want to stay but I don’t know it’s a good question 🙋‍♀️ I just love it here I feel right at home and not many places do you find that The corner stone should build more places like this it’s beautiful and it’s sold foundation just love it And I Merton Dave he was very nice too he help me fix my shower and showed me that the bar turns I didn’t even know that lol. I truly can say you won’t find another apt like this one Long Island I looked and didn’t feel at home or was all a business not this place I feel right at home

Nov 9, 2023

Love the Apartment. It is my first time ever in an apartment. I miss the yard and garden where you can always find something to do to pass the time and be busy.

Oct 9, 2023

Since last year when mathew and Michaela started there's been a wonderful transformation as far as entertainment events they always have something going on for the community to participate and get to know I love it here. Cornerstone is like having an extended family Dave he's just the best

Oct 9, 2023

Nice community nice people well kept grounds. Management is excellent and maintenance is excellent. Area is okay but convenient to Long Island railroad and Long Island expressway and you're at 111.

Oct 8, 2023

We love the community of people and have met alot of nice people that are now friends. I wish more people would participate in community events so we could get to meet more residents.

Oct 3, 2023

I have to say that whenever I have an issue in my apartment I make a call and Dave is here to fix it almost immediately. I love being here and the atmosphere.

Sep 27, 2023

The staff is so wonderful. Patient with all my questions. They just are so very nice. People I have met in the community are welcoming and warm. I look forward to meeting at the clubhouse for some interesting events.

Sep 25, 2023

I love living here! My loft apartment is beautiful, they take wonderful care of the grounds, and I enjoy participating in the activities! It’s a great place and I highly recommend it.

Sep 24, 2023

Easy to maintain and live in the townhomes. Its comfortable living spaces. We enjoy our weekends. and our community events at the clubhouse. I enjoy my outdoor living space and socializing with my neighbors.

Sep 10, 2023

Love this community! Neighbors are very friendly and helpful. The amenities are amazing and everything is on point. Very clean and beautiful landscaping.

Aug 27, 2023

Really enjoying my apartment and the clubhouse. I have met some very lovely residents. Participating in the activities such as waffle Wednesday, game night, Friyay nights and crafts projects are joyful. The outdoor movie night was great.

Aug 25, 2023

Very quiet and clean community. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is located in great area. Lose to highways. Stores, supermarkets you name it. I love love this place.

Aug 5, 2023

Wonderful community with a great management staff. List of various activities is always well thought out and lots of fun. Community is clean and well kept. Text system from the office keeps you informed at all times.

Jul 25, 2023

Very quiet & peaceful. Nice neighbors & good location. In unit regular size washer/dryer is wonderful. We really love living here, but just wish the yearly rent increase was less or that we could sign a 2 year lease with no increase.

Jul 21, 2023

I have been a resident of this community for one year. It is a quiet community, very well kept and just steps from the LIE. Residents are barely seen except when there is an activity or event in clubhouse. Staff is friendly and very helpful and accommodating. Property manager Michaela is a sweetheart and aims to please everyone. I have no complaints and so far I’m very happy living here.

Jul 15, 2023

I love my townhouse and the community ❤️. It's like having an extended family that's always there for each other . Our new managers are absolutely wonder. If they're any maintenance issues which are rare its adressed immediately. They create special weekly activities for all the residents. I highly recommend Cornerstone

Jul 8, 2023

Great I totally recommend submitting application staff is great n nice neighborhood hood is quiet n discreet no disturbances at all I love how friendly ppl are

Jul 4, 2023

Great community, nice people! Have some great friends here! Wish we had a swimming pool! I would also love if we did local trips as well out east

Jun 26, 2023

Communal living comes with its challenges Neighbors occasionally do things which are inconsiderate of others Fortunately the Cornerstone Hauppauge management addresses resident's issues promptly and firmly It is a beautiful and well maintained property Events here are fun, varied and frequent I encourage all residents to promptly report breaches of rules such as personal barbecues, fencing, inappropriate parking and outdoor eyesores to management so that we can all continue to enjoy our shared experience at this great place

Jun 4, 2023

Thanks 4 all the community gatherings, fun & games cookouts and sit down game nights and nice parting gifts to the winners. Everybody can feel like a winner when they join in the community activities planned by staff and the residents who live here. It's nice to share the events with your friends and family that are so graciously invited to share a laugh a joke or to and a tasty bite to eat. Now it isn't that sweet to enjoy a treat. (Smile I know U want 2)

May 22, 2023

I am very pleased with our new staff and management! All or any issues are promptly addressed! We are pleased to announce that we will be renewing our lease.

Apr 1, 2023

Living here is stress free. If anything needs to be fixed or addressed management and maintenance are on it. The property is well maintained and clean. Activities are planned but they are usually to early for me Ti attend. There is plenty of parking. A fire inspection was done for the first time since I’ve been here( almost 3 years). I wish they would change batteries routinely in the smoke detectors. I had one that needed new batteries but I don’t know for how long it was non functioning which is a little scary. All in all a great place to live

Mar 18, 2023

Would love the idea of a pool, and the bathtubs need to be improved. Very hard to get in and out of and very small. Otherwise everything else is wonerful

Mar 11, 2023

I enjoy all the different get togethers - even though many do not show up - but with those that do - we have enjoy the time together and have lots of laughs!

Mar 7, 2023

I wish to express my appreciation to our management team for the their outstanding performance. Matthew and Michaela vigilantly monitor and ensure our comfort, safety and positive communal experience. The monthly events are increasingly enjoyable and well advertised. There is an exciting and stylish vibe at the Clubhouse now. Dave continues to perform his duties with the expertise and politeness we have all come to enjoy from him. Thank you all!!!

Mar 3, 2023

I have lived in a few complexes similar but not even close to what the Cornerstone and the mgt. team have to offer. Unless I reunite with my x I will be here a long time--God willing. Thank you.

Jan 24, 2023

This is a great community, excellent staff and nice neighbors! We love living here, beautiful and modern apartments. Also a pet friendly community.

Dec 1, 2022

This is a beautiful place to live and very quite but the rent is a bit high and recently just went up. Hoping for no additional increases over the next few years.

Nov 20, 2022

Good neighbors, fun events in the club house. Good staff always friendly and available to talk. Up to date appliances and good Maintenace is maintained when needed.

Nov 4, 2022

Much appreciation to Andrew and Dave for their genuine efforts to bring our residents together to share good times with each other in our beautiful facility. Recent events were great and we even got the cars washed! Looking forward to the fall calendar of events. Andrew and Dave have addressed any administrative and maintenance issues we have had quickly and positively. Keep up the good work!!!

Oct 4, 2022

I absolutely love the Cornerstone! Everyone here is so sweet I love my neighbors and friends. We consider everyone like family. This is our first experience renting and living in a community. I would highly Recommend. Andrew is wonderful helpful and address an needs promptly.

Sep 1, 2022

Nice residence good management. Pretty complex quiet complex. But no pool. Gazebo is nice to have. Small complex makes it kind of quaint. I wish as do many residents that the public open areas had more surveillance cameras because of the way this world is going and also because of deliveries and people speeding sometimes.

Aug 10, 2022

I’ve only been here for almost two months and have no complaints. Quiet place and extremely clean. When I needed maintenance service they were here immediately or as promised and very respectful. Best 55+ community I’ve lived in so far.

Jul 30, 2022

Really like the Cornerstone but was very disappointed in my rent increase this year. I understand this is a business but we are people in a 55 and older community living on limited incomes.

Jul 11, 2022

We have been here a little over a year and we still love our apartment. No trouble with parking or neighbors. Everyone we have met has been very nice. I am enjoying the fitness class & would love if it was offered weekly.

Jun 17, 2022

Very quiet and friendly community. Always an activity to do. Lots of dog lovers like myself. Grounds are kept beautifully and the office staff is amazing!

Jun 15, 2022

So far my experience has been great. Everyone that I have met so far has been super nice and helpful. When I have called maintenance for any issue I had they were there quickly and fixed the problem.

Jun 14, 2022

I have not had any bad experience, I have been here since it open up. The neighbors are very polite and friendly to each other. The community offers social events and it is nice interacting with your neighbors.

Jun 4, 2022

The apartments are beautiful and new. the staff are very patient and friendly answering all my questions. This was a difficult decision for me after selling my home but the staff made it so comfortable, I already feel at home

Jun 1, 2022

Thanks to our community management team, led by Andrew and supported by Theresa, who are doing a markedly improved job addressing residents concerns and providing enjoyable community events!!! I haven't met our communities' newest team member Dave, the maintenance manager, but have heard excellent reviews - Welcome Dave!

May 11, 2022

Last year I gave 5 stars. This year only 3. The community has changed. This was a clean place with respectful neighbors but no more. Now there are commercial trucks parked in handicapped spots and large commercial trucks taking up 2 spots. some trucks haven't moved from parking spots, People do not respect the garbage rules and pile the garbage up in front of their door. Pet owners are leaving dog poop all over because they don't feel like cleaning up after their pet. They allow 3 adults a baby and a pet in a 1 bedroom apartment. The landscapers never put down new mulch on the hiking trail behind my building but did the rest of the complex. This is taking away from the good things the community does.

May 8, 2022

The apartments themselves are great - Feels like an individual house instead of an "apartment" - People are also great but, the community is located in a horrid neighborhood. Gates should be put up to ensure all people entering the community are vetted.

Apr 19, 2022

Excellent gteat customer service. I am extremely happy here and blessed to to havw both my daughter and mother living here next to me as well...

Apr 19, 2022

Love our monthly book club meetings!! So much fun. we talk about everything but the book - hahaha And we do pick great books!! Come try it out. Donna

Apr 2, 2022

The bathtubs need to be much bigger than they are, they are hard to get out of and you can’t even stretch your legs in the tub. Maintenance is not consistent and the property cleanliness suffers because of it.

Apr 1, 2022

We have been living here just under a year and we love it. The property is well maintained and we have no issues with parking. The walls must be sound proof because we never hear our neighbors on either side. No trouble with heat or hot water. Love that it is pet friendly. I enjoy seeing everyone walking their dogs. Great staff too.

Feb 4, 2022

Looking forward to joining my neighbors for Super Bowl Pot Luck organized by our super management team! Met Andrew this week, our new community manager, and found him to be very friendly and anxious to continue excellent care given residents by Meghan and Theresa. Today it’s snowing like crazy and Joe out there doing an amazing job throughout the night. Thanks Joe! Everyone stay safe!!!

Jan 29, 2022

Going on 2 years now the place is very nice I wish the bedroom was a little bigger but it's very comparable for what's out there small and quaint. Staff is excellent

Jan 28, 2022

So the Community is very clean. They have a great clubhouse that is very modern and spacious and is available for rent. The management staff is very nice. The grounds are well-kept and maintained.. The maintenance crew always plows shovels and the ice is the walkways. This is a pet friendly community so there are a lot of dogs. The management staff always has something going on at the clubhouse which is a very nice touch.

Jan 27, 2022

All the residents are kind, caring and fun too!! I love the lil gatherings in the Clubhouse. And the best part is you don’t have to drive home!!

Jan 18, 2022

We are having a great experience at Cornerstone, Meghan and Theresa are a delight to deal with it. We have met some wonderful neighbors as well that have become friends!

Dec 2, 2021

I love it here everyone is so friendly and the apartments are very well maintained also love all the events they have. Love Megan and Teresa they are so helpful with anything I need.

Nov 18, 2021

I don’t understand why when I try to leave a phone message during open office hours it goes to a central answering system where I leave a message but I do not get a return call from the office. Todat was a perfect example. 2 messages left about my garbage not being picked up this past Thursday or last night, Sunday

Nov 1, 2021

Property beautifully laid out and maintained Office staff friendly, helpful and professional My family enjoys the numerous community events We would like to encourage more residents to participate in community events and be courteous to your neighbors

Oct 20, 2021

Community is okay. The garbage pals should be much larger for the garbage pickup you cannot fit your garbage bag inside the pail at all unless you shove it in and break it. It's unfortunate that the nature trail goes right through your backyard and people are basically walking in front of your back door. It's too bad it doesn't have a pool and unfortunately it is not fenced in other than that it's a nice place

Oct 16, 2021

I love this lil community- friendly residents and staff! I’m glad more events are planned - it’s nice to meet new people and share evenings with.

Sep 28, 2021

We really enjoy living at the Cornerstone, we have met some great people. We had a BBQ on Friday and had a nice turnout. Residents made food also, it was great.

Aug 23, 2021

BETTER SINCE THE DOG BARKING SEEMS TO BE MORE IN CONTROL. THANK YOU SO MUCH, CORNERSTONE STAFF. HAVE A GOOD PUPPY PARTY @ THE PARK. THANKS FOR HAVING THE GET-TOGETHERS, GIVING ME A CHANCE TO MEET MY FELLOW NEIGHBORS.

Aug 20, 2021

The agent was very accommodating and extremely through in relaying the requirements for residency and the responsibilities of both the community and the residences. TKU

Jul 25, 2021

From the first phone call I made to Meghan, Manager at Cornerstone, I was pleased. She was thorough, friendly and helpful. When I came to see the apartment in person, I had a wonderful experience with Theresa. She was knowledgeable, answered all my questions and was a pleasure to deal with. I loved the look of the apartment right away. I even met 2 of my neighbors on that day. Theresa was quick in getting the lease ready to sign, took care of having the apartment cleaned and had the keys ready to turn over within 1 day. I was impressed at how professional and thorough Theresa was and still is. Both Meaghan and Theresa are real assets to this company. Now that I have been living here for almost 2 weeks, I have experienced some of the great amenities and love living here. The grounds are well-kept and my apartment has wonderful conveniences. I am more than happy I found this little community and feel sure I will enjoy living here for the next year.

Jul 21, 2021

Great management and maintenance team! Property well maintained and quiet neighbors. Ample parking. Communal events excellent! Just renewed my lease.

Jul 14, 2021

I thought there was an event every month there's been a few that's been very nice though. It would be nice if they could schedule something monthly on a consistent date on a consistent Saturday

Jul 11, 2021

It’s been very nice here..everyone is friendly service is great. I would definitely recommend this place to others. It’s beautiful inside and out

Jul 10, 2021

Simply the best place to live!!!🤗. Convenient and accessible to everything. And OMG...the staff is amazing. They really care about the residents.

Jul 9, 2021

We love our new apartment. All appliances work well and the central air conditioning is great for these hot humid days. Everyone is friendly and we feel very safe living here.

Jul 9, 2021

So far, so good. Been here three weeks, and I'm loving it. Nice and quiet, absolutely no noise from neighbors on either side coming through the walls. This place is sound-proof!!! People are real friendly too. Just needs a pool and a hot tub.

Jul 5, 2021

Only been here a short time, but we love our apartment. The people we have met have been friendly and I love seeing all the dogs being walked. We are very happy with our decision to move here.

May 28, 2021
