Reviews

Ellipse’s views, waterfront setting and service staff are the clearest reasons residents recommend it. The experience is less consistent when a problem needs management intervention, especially around renewals, noise or amenities that are unavailable.

What residents praise

The onsite team earns repeated praise

Concierge and maintenance staff are described as warm, attentive and quick with repairs, packages and everyday help.

Views define the apartments

The curved glass façade creates broad river and skyline exposures that residents repeatedly call out as a reason to live here.

Newport makes daily life convenient

Residents value the waterfront, security, nearby PATH service and the mix of shops and services across Newport.

What residents complain about

Management disputes can become prolonged

Critical reviews describe difficulty resolving renewal, security-deposit and neighbor problems after signing, even while praising the building’s service staff.

Noise varies sharply by apartment

Thin walls, loud climate equipment and persistent sounds inside particular high-floor lines recur in resident accounts. Listen in the exact home at a quiet time.

Amenity upkeep does not always match the price

Residents mention broken pool, gym and playroom equipment alongside rent increases and the required amenity fee. Ask what is currently open and working.

Amenities

Ellipse has in-unit laundry, central air and a 24-hour attended lobby. Shared facilities include a fitness center, training studio, outdoor pool and sundeck, with parking in the building.
