(Photo: JOHN ZIOMEK/Courier-Post) Story Highlights The Short Hills complex, to be made up entirely of affordable units , would be developed by Fair Share Housing Center , a Cherry Hill- based advocacy center for affordable housing . CHERRY HILL – A deal to preserve Woodcrest Country Club could put more than 800 apartments on commercial sites on the township's west side, including the current headquarters of Subaru of America.

Township officials have said the agreement would bar future development at the 180- acre country club . The club's owner, Cherry Hill Land Associates , had sued the township in an effort to build an 844- unit apa...

People can't wash dishes," said tenant Brittany Albright .  13 Action News reached out to management Saturday and Sunday and received no response.  On Monday, a manager who would not give his name said over the weekend water was shut down for scheduled repairs.

Renata Sanches DO NOT RENT HERE!!!!!!!! Do yourself this HUGE favor. First of all, I feel like living inside of a garbage can. My apartment is infected now with small cockroaches, the pest control company came … several times and I think they are spraying water because is not working at all. I have a baby at home who I'm afraid of getting sick and the office staff don 't do anything about it, actually they don't even answer the phone so you will probably need to take a day off if you want to get in touch with them. They charge us extra fees for trash services and the company hired ALWAYS miss to pick it up the bags, smells nasty outside and I feel ashamed of bringing guests home . My mom came visit me and she didn't know that here is a free smoking community , No warnings signs, so If you don't live here it's just impossible knowing that. She was smoking downstairs when Pam, the lady who works at the office came SCREAMING, I could hear her voice from the thi...
