We no longer have a full-time concierge, so packages are left out a few days a week to be stolen. Last year, they tried to raise rent 15%. We called the city and found out the building received an exception from the rent limit for 30 years. The only reason this didn't get one star is the building us under new ownership, and it appears the new owner has some common sense. If you need to live close to the train, you probably don't have a lot of options, but if you don't need the train, I would look elsewhere.

Bugs,…read morenoisy neighbors, horrible washer/dryer sheet smells in apartments that also permeate throughout everything in your apartment (including my $1,700 mattress that I had to throw out b/c it smelled so bad!) and into your cars as the vents are full of lint that fall on vehicles. Cars were flooded in the past and were destroyed - as such, tenants moved out. If you have an issue with a noisy, harassing neighbor, you need to take them to the Nutley Court yourself as management will NOT intervene and abide by the Lease you sign. They also play funny with $ they owe you when you vacate. Steer clear and look elsewhere! I hope this doesn't get taken down as they pay companies to remove bad reviews.

I LOVE living in Towne Center! I feel LUCKY to call this home. After living in NYC for over 20…read moreyears, I could not have found a more perfect fit for me. Where to start.... Leaving the city was scary. I was deciding between living in a house or an apartment and I visited many of both. I decided, as a single mother, I would rather live in an apartment building, with doormen, security, and lots of neighbors around. Luckily, I have an Aunt who lives in Alpine who told me I MUST live at Towne Center. She kept saying "These are NICE people" (the NICE was heavily emphasized and had multiple meanings). I am so grateful to her! First, I met with Anna the leasing agent of the building. Anna was a breathe of fresh air compared to other agents I have encountered. She is a true professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and kind. The smile on her face is genuine and warm, not fake and sales like. She was an absolute pleasure, made the application process seamless and worked with me to meet my needs. I am extremely gratefull to Anna for helping me in so many ways. Research: I spoke to numerous people who currently live and have previously lived in the building. Most of the my aunt knew already so they were very honest with me. One couple who were both doctors lived in a beautiful three bedroom with high ceilings, an upstairs loft and storage area and they had a grand piano in the living room and a full dinning room table. They had lived there for about 12 years. Also, I spoke with young couples and professionals in their 30s and 40s who worked in Manhattan and had no plans on leaving Towne Center even though they could afford very nice homes. True story: When I first moved to Engelwood, I met a family on my sons soccer team who had lived in the building. The wife told me wonderful things about the friends they made and the husband told me if it was up to him, he never would have left. They had a live-in nanny in their apartment with two children and a third on the way (both Harvard graduates). For me, coming from Union Square where I could get anything at anytime, I put a high value on location and convenience. As a parent, being able to run downstairs to CVS for late night cold medicine or across the street to Shop Rite when I forgot the hamburger buns was a life saver. I knew I wanted the safety of a 24 hour doorman and round the clock security. The under ground gated garage means I would never have to shovel snow or get stuck at home because of weather. And when my car battery died, I had people to give me a jump in minutes. When I walked into my new apartment, I felt the sun shinning on my face, saw an openness and lightness in the rooms and knew immediately that I made the right decision to live in Towne Center. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large, the living room has tons of natural light and there is plenty of closet space. If that wasn't enough the other reasons I rave about my apartment building are as follows... SASHA and JORGE are the superintendents of the building, taking care of anything and everything. I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH can not how phenomenal they are and how welcoming they have been. To say they go above and beyond is an understatement. They take pride in their work, do an exceptional job and they care about the people who live here. You may think this is not so important and I promise you it is! They make us smile every time we see them are always able to lend a helping hand. I have been living in apartments for 25 years, with many superintendents, Sasha and Jorge are in a class by themselves. In addition, from the first time I stepped foot in the building and every time since, ALBERTO at the front desk and ALFONSO made me feel like I was home. They have such positive energy and have been so kind to all of my extended family and friends. Concerns: no place is perfect. I listed some things that are challenging. - There are some doormen/woman security guards who are outstanding and there are some who are not. Turnover is high and so there is inconsistency. - We pay an assessment fee for a few amenities but before I lived here there were Sunday brunches for everyone with bagels and stuff. During the pandemic that stopped doing them COVID. The assessment fee did not go down and nothing was introduced instead of the Sunday brunch. - I am thrilled to have a gym in the building and it also needs a tech update. Only one of four TVs works well on the treadmills, there are 5 "watchable" channels - In this day and age I would at minimum expect ESPN (sports at a gym) and basic cable / streaming. - For new tenants rent went up 6% in one year and you can only sign a one year lease. You should be able to sign multi-year leases. - We have a cool movie theater, which also needs a tech update. BOTTOM LINE: I LOVE this building and my happiness greatly outweighs my concerns. The friendships I have made are priceless.

We downsized from a home to a two bedroom…read more After seeing many of the apartments in the area and dealing with a lot of sales people we were very taken by Anna and her honest concern for our needs. she didn't try to 'sell' us on anything, she readily admitted when a floorplan was not right for us. she was incredibly patient with us and worked with us the whole step of the way until we got approved. She remains a great resource for all our needs well after the lease was signed. since moving in, we have been pleasantly surprised at every turn. coming from a large home where things needed fixing every other day, I can't say enough about the maintenance duo of Sasha and Jorge, lead by the building manager, Jude. for a building this size youd expect to have to wait for repairs, instead, they show up almost immediately. there is a very efficient online maintenance request form and it really works. since moving in we had A/C issues and appliances malfunctioning and Jude made sure we had replacements in our apartment to minimize any discomfort. one time I told Jude not to bother bringing a replacement, that we'd be ok until the repairs were done, but he insisted! he had a new unit purchased and installed at quite an expense to management. we really feel cared for. the front desk staff are wonderful. eager to help and always greet me with a smile and a kind word. the other tenants here are so friendly and caring and respectful. I find it very quiet and kept clean. I highly recommend Towne Centre.

Not much to say about the place. Lived here for a year and a half, and there were certainly some…read moresmall hiccups here and there, but overall I actually often miss the place. It's impeccably constructed so you never hear anyone around you unless you're in the hallway. It's pretty clean all the time, and the super is SUPER. :) Neighbors were mostly nice and everyone minds their business which is always a plus. My only gripe was that some residents would bring some unsavory characters to the rooftop and pool, and it was annoying to watch them ruin the atmosphere for the families in the building. I know that this was a sticking point for a few people, but unfortunately it's often par for the course in communal living environments. The perk about living in this area is that your landlord is most likely a member of the Daibes family. The Daibes have so many properties that unless you're an especially horrible tenant, you're likely to not have too many run-ins with them. As someone who prefers peace and quiet, I enjoyed this. My main reason for knocking off a star besides the roof/pool issue above is that this place charges Edgewater pricing but fails to hit the mark with some amenities. The rooftop with NYC views, pool, and jacuzzi is AWESOME, but the gym is pretty much a joke. Further, there is no nearby transportation to NYC here save for one bus line. This is a problem which could EASILY be solved with a shuttle down the road to the light rail and ferry, an improvement which would probably draw more tenants who are less likely to be up on the roof cursing up a storm. A secure package system would also really sweeten the deal, considering it was a free for all and I did have a few packages go missing. But for the most part, I would keep this on my list of options if I were looking in the area.

There are so many new and up and coming properties in Bergen County that give you more bang for your buck. They have moved people in with ongoing construction. Many residents complain about their apartment having leaks. None of the appliances work. There is not one "luxury" detail here. Cars have been stolen in the covered parking areas. Residents do not clean up after their dogs. Residents have complained to me that they hear gun shots from the shooting range that is on the property. The building has no number out front so packages are constantly lost. Management send messages on the butterfly app that make you feel like you are residing in a dorm. Constantly telling you they will enter your apartment. Fire alarm goes off daily. Elevator makes this loud screeching sound when ever used. Cops always on property due to residents fighting mind you this property opened Dec 2022. No cameras to see who stole vehicles. Cameras are in front of the building and in common areas (mostly used to stalk residents) No trash cans on property. Peter is rude and mike sends messages with Mike the owner when making threats after you complain. Management question visits if they are on the lease or ask who they are visiting (This is not converge service the building has none). $3200 for a 2 bed 2ba to hear drilling Monday - Saturday from 6a - 6p 6 days a week. Construction workers park any and everywhere. No amenities are available yet. They promised us March 2023. Pool might hold 10 people comfortably when it is finished with construction. Grill area does not exist. "dog walk" is a sh!t show literally no one cleans after their dog. Management wants you to put in work order through them via email instead of maintenance or portal. Save your time and money. Can't wait until my lease is up. They also accept low income housing / Section 8 here. They recently got rid of house keeping so now the maintenance woman has to clean the entire building on top of completing repairs. (They work her like a dog) She does building 300 along with 301 & 400. You will see "Mike the Owner" lurking from the new leasing office in building 300 just watching residents. I will continue to update as time goes on. Hoping other residents write reviews to EXPOSE the BS. I'm almost certain they will have a class action lawsuit for FRAUD!!! Oh and "Mike the Owner" is a lawyer who believes he is above the law perfect fit for a SLUM LORD!!!
