2006-07-20T20:03:08-06:00

From nbeau: I have lived in the Atlantic Building for a year. Bad plumbing, toilet always backs up and the tub floods. Turns out the pipes are connected from the next apartment.

From -Anonymous-: Terrible just terrible! Don't let the well treated area and modern looking buildings fool you folks!

2004-11-05T09:31:23-06:00

From -Anonymous-: So close to the city with a little city atmosphere. Prices are steep but its a place you have to check out. Be sure to check out the apt well before you sign the lease so they can fix things you dont like before you move in. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: Good if you want to rent close to NYC (Recommending!)

2004-08-29T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Moved in just last month and I have no complaints so far. I was looking to rent in the city until a couple of friends suggest I look in Jersey City or Hoboken.

Towers of America: unless you gotta have the view... (Not Recommending)

2004-07-15T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: You could not ask for a better view, depending on your apartment location. But the management is absolutely terrible. I don't think they've ever returned a call in the 13 months I've been here. There are plenty of nice apartments in the area that are cheaper and better. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: Ok, (Not Recommending)

The buildings are not well insulated, so we on our ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: I would have stayed away if I had known... (Not Recommending)

2004-02-19T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Parking: $160 for non-assigned spot and $250 for assigned spot. I personally think this is rip off. There are way more non-assigned parkers than the available spaces. And I always see empty assigned spots. For $160 a month, I think we shouold get an assigned spot. If you like to ... [click to read full apartment review]

Electricity: $200 a month in Jan/Feb, and $100 a month otherwise (see all other postings on heating bill nightmares). Adds up to a lot. Management ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: Excellent (Recommending!)

2003-12-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: For the price, I think this is one of the best places in Jersey City to live in. The PATH stattion is 2 mins away. The downtown ferry is downstairs. Parking is adequate. The mall is 6 minutes away. Shop Rite is close. U can see Manhattan and u´re mins ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: Good convinience for a price... (Recommending!)

Sure is a great place to live, great surroundings, just 10 mins to the City... but ofcourse all this comes with a price tag. If you consider City view is not important ...

Towers of America: EXCESSIVELY HIGH HEATING BILLS (Recommending!)

2003-10-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Great apartment (1 Rivercourt 2 b precise), good quality of construction. Great management and very friendly and helpful doormen. Alls good, except the excessively high heating bills. As mentioned by another poster here, somehow the constant draft through the windows forced the installed heaters to keep running constantly. Also, the ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: Terrible management (Not Recommending)

2003-09-04T00:00:00-06:00

From atlantictenant: I can´t wait for my lease to end so that I can move out!! The management (Lefrak Corp) is possibly the meanest and most unresponsive to tenants´ needs. Eveyone that I have spoken to at the management office is totally unhelpful. I wanted a six month lease after I had ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: $300/month on heat?? (Not Recommending)

2003-06-18T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Was fine living here, except due to the shoddy construction of the building (30 River Court to be exact), I could feel a serious draft through the outlets, around the windows and any outside wall was freezing cold in the winter. This caused me to have the heat running constantly. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: take it from a veteran tenant (Not Recommending)

2003-02-16T00:00:00-06:00

From riverside: Since 9/11 many tenants have moved out. They are right to do so because the Lefrak management is greedy with a mean streak.

Shoddy construction and poor material/workmanship
The AC units are leaky, meaning you get cold drafts in the winter and the handymen couldn´t do anything to fix them. The AC ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: Merely Adequate (Recommending!)

2002-12-30T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: First, the bad things. Heating and cooling our apartment is a nightmare. There are combination electric air conditioners/heaters in the living room and bedroom. When heating there are two settings: sauna and off. Likewise, the air conditioner has two settings: refrigerator and off. The non-off settings are noisy and expensive. ...

Towers of America: Rude Management/Extremely Expensive/Bad contruction...Run to PORTOFINO or Hoboken or Riverbend or River Club (Not Recommending)

2002-08-24T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 1. RUDE MANAGEMENT

The general manager is busier than the President of the United States. Refuses to return calls and is extremely impolite. Discriminates between tenants. Current tenants should realize that if they want to get a rent reduction/lower lease payments they should speak with the General Manager only. The junior ... [click to read full apartment review]

Towers of America: I do not reccomend such an expensive apt (Not Recommending)

2002-05-15T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: One of the Conceirge is not a very Friendly person, She kinda smiles when she is in the mood, and that upsets me a lot.
Besides the utility bills go way up in winter months,

Towers of America: Unparalleled rudeness of management (Not Recommending)

2002-02-08T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The complex has four buildings- Riverside, Atlantic, East Hampton and Southampton. The location is great if you work in NYC and need access to the PATH.

From -Anonymous-: Great staff at the Atlantic Building. But the management office leaves a lot to be desired. They are sure to send around flyers during the holidays with names of all the staff members so you don´t forget to tip them, but they fail to inform their residents about a water ...

2001-10-31T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Plus: Beautiful NYC-like apartment with all amenities. We have a great view of the river (but no more WTC).
Minus: Make sure you live nowhere near the garbage outside (smells mercilessly). Also, heating bills are enormous because the heat is electric. Sometimes in winter my bills are more than $300 a ... [click to read full apartment review]
