Reviews

Friendly staff and the Grove Street location drive most of the praise. Critical feedback focuses on the ownership transition, elevator outages and renewal pricing rather than the apartments' basic layout or finishes.

What residents praise

Staff create a strong sense of community

Residents repeatedly praise leasing, management, concierge and maintenance staff for being warm, responsive and willing to solve problems.

Grove Street PATH is genuinely close

The short walk to PATH, nearby restaurants and groceries make the location easy for both commuting and daily errands.

Apartments feel modern and quiet

Recent accounts praise sound isolation, skyline views and in-unit laundry, with maintenance requests often handled quickly.

What residents complain about

Elevators can be unreliable

Residents describe recurring outages and long waits, especially when one car is unavailable.

Renewal increases can change the equation

Former residents report large year-over-year increases and little flexibility, even after positive experiences with the staff and location.
