I have been living here for the last 2.5 years. The Vue is great place to live. I currently take…read morethe train into the city for work after a year finishing school at Rutgers. It's an easy commute to Penn Station that is almost exactly 60 mins. I've never heard the neighbors above, below, or even next door. Not once (and we had a newborn living next to us for over a year). You can hear hallway noise or if you are passing someone's front door. The location is fantastic. There are a dozen great restaurants that are walking distance. The "Vue" actually has an unbelievable "View" of NYC on a clear day. There is a doorman named Eric who is wonderful. Maintenance requests get filled rather quickly. The lounge is beautiful. The gym is nothing special but gets the job done. The gym, lounge, and front office are on the 9th floor (the lowest floor in the residence). Verizon Fios is wired in the building so you could opt for lightning internet. Never had any big problems with management at all. I think the only con is that monthly parking is expensive and the rent rising at the end of each year. If you are looking for living near New Brunswick, I highly recommend considering the Vue. P.S. Not sure about the other review (could have been when it just opened) but all three elevators have always worked since I've been here. Also make sure to say hello to LaRoy!

And no, management doesn't care because at this point I think it's only the students who live in this building and the building can make money. They've also been trying to outdo the negative ratings on Google and other sites by asking the doorman to post 5 star reviews on Google and calling it a "quiet place". The units are overpriced, "wooden floors" are really cheap - you can literally press them down with your fingers. The walls have begun to crack, not the best construction quality. Management is a whole different issue - at least 3 follows ups are required and after may be showing up another 5 times in person, your query MAY be answered. The elevators keep breaking down, there is no 24/7 security as they claim and there's no one at the front desk when you need them which means you can't pick up your packages when you want them. Would give a 0 star if I could for the price charged and quality received.

My partner and I moved here from NYC during the pandemic and it was the best decision we made. I…read moreLOVE this place. From our spacious and beautiful apartment to the facilities to the management, everything about Plaza Square is wonderful. As a result of the pandemic, many amenities (gym, pool, lounge) were restricted but accessible nonetheless. It actually meant a lot that management cared so much for the health and safety of its residents and did their best to accommodate everyone's need for leisure and exercise safely. I love that Plaza Square has many unique layouts for its apartments, and is arranged in a way that allows a lot of light into the rooms. Our early days weren't very smooth (high utilities bills, internet issues) but management was super responsive and did their best to resolve them. Management makes a HUGE difference in the quality of where one lives, and I honestly believe Plaza Square has the best of the best in NB. They have been so responsive and engaged with the community since we moved here. A few friends who live in neighboring complexes have outwardly expressed feeling envious when they hear me rave about this place. Besides that, Plaza Square has outdoor and garage parking options, a cute dog run (with lots of pandemic doggies!), a gym, a beautiful lounge and pool, a great mailing system and clean and renovated spaces. There's not much else one could ask for. The only tip I would provide is to pick apartments away from the highway. They cost a little more, but are completely worth it for the lack of noise at night. We will unfortunately be moving out of state in a few months due to work, but if we could stay or had friends looking for a place in New Brunswick, we would recommend and sign with Plaza Square in a heartbeat.

First of all, don't be fooled by all the good reviews in 2021. There were actually several…read more"contests" that were held from June onwards for reviews for prizes to boost their past rating. Honestly, this place is OK if you want to worry about your car being damaged and being submerge under water during rainy/hurricane season. Or having the fire alarm constantly go off. Or having to step in dog poop every few days. Or having the sprinklers broken, leaving your doorway soaking wet and stinking of mold and being a health hazard. Your car parking spots would be taken up by random cars from the public (esp if you're parking on the top deck). Hallways are not camera monitored, so you'll probably end up finding dog poop at 8am in the morning while you walk to the nearest elevator and there's nothing management can do about it. Let's see what else? Your neighbors can be inconsiderate and the walls are paper thin. Garage doors actually never works, (but you wont know this until you're already deep 2 months into your rent and you constantly see everyone complaining and management does nothing) & there have been a lot of thefts. Garage panels are caving and falling in. The side doors (by the parking deck) do not lock, so anyone can come in. You pay trash fees, but you got to constantly bring your boxes down to the trash area? Not a big deal, but I am saying you're going to pay money for something that does not make sense, Plaza square used to be great prior to Covid, but boy are we glad to move further away to the city and pay more to experience nothing of the above! The only great thing about plaza is their OG maintenance crew. Over the past 2.5 years, we've made at least 30 friends (those kind where you actually have their numbers) in the community, there's only 7 who is currently living there now due to the increasing number of issues happening within the apartment complex. Also heard (and was verified by a few current tenants) that new management lacks communication with their tenants. There was no communication/updates about the recent water pipe burst that damaged over 30 apartments and the garage. That said, we don't care if they increase the rent, but why are we paying for the same things year after year and the building 's integrity is turning for the worse?

CROOKS! My reply to…read moretheir parting charges after my soon moved out, but roommate remained. who shared no one ever came to clean the "common area". To whom it may concern: Why are there line items that read: "Full Unit Cleaning" = $100 "Bedroom Cleaning" = $100 " Damage Charges Trash Out 2 bags" = $50 " Damage Charges Trash Out 1 bag = $25 "Moderate Cleaning to bathroom" = $50 If the "full unit cleaning" for $100, cleaned the "FULL UNIT" please explain this additional cost clearly and what the additional $114 would be for. It appears disingenuous, and possibly illegal to invoice in such a fashion. THEIR REPLY TO FOLLOW: "Thank you for your patience while I reviewed all the charges on your final statement with SoCam 290. Unfortunately, I am unable to reverse any of the charges, as they have been confirmed. After reviewing the Trash Out and Full-Unit Clean vs. Bedroom Cleaning charges, I found that all charges are correct. The "Full Unit" cleaning charge is referring to the common areas (living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.), and the Bedroom cleaning charge is for the Bedroom only. The Trash out charges are stated twice because one is for the trash out of the full unit and the other is for the trash out in your bedroom. I hope this answers your questions and gives a better understand of the charges. Thank you, and we're here if you need further assistance."

Pros: The apartment looks really nice and the amenities are great! I have lived here for several…read moremonths and the apartment has averaged 2 events per month. The staff and concierge are really nice and helpful, they get 5 stars. The annual amenity fee is $500 and over time I see that it is worth it. The amenities are 24/7 except for the pool (which is 100% understandable and probably by law), but you can still lounge on the rooftop deck 24/7. The gym is a really good size with good equipment, lots of TVs, and even TRX. The 24/7 amenities was one of the main things that separated The Quincy from other apartments in New Brunswick for me. If I recall correctly our neighbors' amenities shut down at 10pm and other complexes' amenities don't add up to the Quincy. Location location LOCATION! The apartment location is perfect, you can easily walk to restaurants, lounges, clubs, the train station, theatre, etc. I really like the convenience and will appreciate it even more now that winter is near. Grey Areas: So in the past few months we have had electricity outages 1-2times a month. I'm not sure why but this is becoming the new norm. No wipes or disinfectant in the gym to wipe machines down after using. I have lived here for less than 6mos and have had 2 issues with the package concierge (This is moreso the package concierge and delivery ppl's problem not the apartment. The apartment staff has gone out of their way each time to help resolve the issues, again 5 stars for them.) The kitchen cabinets are not super functional because they lack depth...you only notice this once you start packing your items into them. There is no free parking for your guests so they have to pay and park in the street, or fight for future residents parking spots in front of the building after office hours (if they park there during office hours they risk getting towed. The apartment makes this clear so you know it's a risk) Cons: HORRIBLE SOUND PROOFING. I pay $2K plus a month for rent and can hear my neighbors talking in their living room, I hear every footstep from neighbors above me, dogs barking, every passing sound from the hallway, and I also hear when my neighbor takes a shower, flushes the toilet, talks in their bedroom, or has sex. I have already had several sleepless nights staring at the ceiling. I don't believe (most of) my neighbors are loud there is just poor sound proofing. (I didn't notice the poor sound proofing until people started moving in around and above me...so the 1st few months with no neighbors was lovely.) Also, I am fearful to make any noise or have confidential conversations in my apartment because I am certain that everyone around me can hear me as well. The dishshwasher and refrigerator are brand name but the basic version of the brand. This standard is not in alignment with the other appliances so no filtered water from the fridge (I believe some apartments have this and others do not). Furthermore, there are huge, old school hotel like, loud ac/heat units this is not central air. The units don't tell you the indoor temperature it only tells you what you can turn the temperature to. Also, these ac/heat units are a sore eye and take up space. My last con is the ever ending additional fees that you have to pay. Fee #1 $150/mo for one shared spot in the parking garage. Nope I'm not whining here. Hear me out. This parking garage is open to the public and is also shared with the businesses around us. So if you travel to work and are gone between 8am-5pm you will most likely have no problems with parking. However, I work from home and always have to drive several floors up in order to get a parking spot when I run errands and get home between 8-5 due to all of the non residents parking in the garage. Fee #2 $35/mo for valet trash. Sure it is nice to have someone pick your trash up Sun-Thur 6pm-10pm... however, your trash has to fit in their trash bin which is not enough space for a small family unless you take your trash out everyday. That sucks because now I am using so many trash bags. Also, if you have boxes you have to break them down and tie them together...what? No, writing trash on it will not do. I have often been frustrated and simply walked my many Amazon boxes to the dumpster to find absolutely no space for my items. Ok, last fee...Fee #3 other than your normal utilities and the annual $ 500 amenity fee (which is probably worth it) there is a $5/mo service fee for the apartment to pull your rent, trash, and I think your water bill together into one bill...this is not written in the lease and it's just an extra annoyance. PRO TIP: Ask the apartment about what type of dogs are allowed before moving in. Also, if you currently live here or have already signed a lease maybe consider noise canceling headphones...I am hoping to score some quality ones on black friday...smh
