My boyfriend and I took a tour in the summer of 2020. Let's just say we fell in love with the property. It was clean, sophisticated and was 2 blocks away from the NJ Transit. At the time they were offering 2 months free to use in the beginning of your lease and allowed us to hold the apartment for 2 1/2 months until we were ready to move in.
We moved in August 2020 and from that day on we noticed some unpleasant surprises about the property.
- The gym was closed for 2 months with no amenity fee reimbursement.
- The amenities closes at 7pm everyday because the maintenance staff leaves work at 7pm. This does not give the residents who work from home late or travel from work enough time to enjoy the amenities.
- The apartment appliances and paint on the walls are cheap. Our cabinet door in the bathroom suddenly came off, the paint on the walls are easily damaged with 1 touch and our shower faucet broke while I was taking a shower.
- the bedroom door constantly becomes loose and squeaky.
-There is not enough guest parking.
- The elevators are ALWAYS broke you have to walk through the garage to get out the building.
- you have to pay an extra amenity fee for the business center. (Non sound proof private rooms, and this amenity fee can be added at anytime but not removed).
- if you don't live on the top floor, you will hear your neighbors foot steps above you. Which is very disturbing.
- While in the business center, I can hear the weights from the gym banging from the first floor. Mind you the business center is on the second floor.
-The management experience can be much better.
The maintenance team RJ and Kevin makes this experience worth it because they are always helping and making sure the residents are comfortable.
Some Pros to the building are:
- Luxe package
- the residents
- transportation
-A lot of cabinet space
- Quiet
- The apartment is not half bad, one of the nicest apartments I have seen.
- A few great restaurants and stores in the neighborhood.
- Linden Clark and Elizabeth is 5 minutes away and you have access to ShopRite, Target, Starbucks, Homegoods, Wholefoods and other great stores.
-The trash rooms are surprisingly clean. read more
