        Quite Good. The building is fairly new and so the apartments are in good condition. The parking is not in good condition though which is outside the building control. Apart from that, things are great.

                                          I viewed the listing on Zillow for one bedroom apartment for $2600, I scheduled a tour and when I arrived I was notified that prices change every single day, and suddenly the price has jumped and studios start at $2800. I inquired about the one… See More >

                                            Hi Mitch, Thanks so much for taking the time to review our community. However, we are a bit confused as to why prices increasing in all luxury buildings in the area should leave us with a 1* review. We pride ourselves on our customer service and strive to give our prospects and residents the b est experience. As my team will have mentioned to you, our pricing fluctuates daily due to the use of pricing management software that sets pricing daily based upon a supply and demand algorithm. As of yesterday our studio was $2400-$2550, not the $3K that you are referencing. If there is anything we did to deserve such a low score, we’d love to work to resolve this asap, as we take pride in our reputation and providing excellent customer service. I hope others take the time to thoroughly read your review to realize this is based on your opinion of pricing and not upon an actual customer service experience. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to reach us at 201-617-5818. Thank you, 3 Journal Square

                                            It has been exceptional and amazing. Definitely the best decision i have made regarding housing. I will make this decision to stay here over and over again. The apartment was easily accessible to the train station which i loved so much.

                                              I really miss some amenities like a barbecue place and better gym equipments. Note that we usually have a lot of fire alarms, mostly false. This is annoying and raises concerns because at this point I mostly assume that it's a false alarm and don't… See More >

                                                So far, I enjoy living away from the city and conveniently commuting to the city as the PATH is close proximity.
