Resident ā€¢ 2017 - 2019

Not one to write negative reviews or reviews, but this property has gone down hill since Summer '18. Since they are aggressively moving people from 70 to 90, I thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of special rate. Boy was I wrong! Even though I moved buildings and am a new resident, I was told I have to pay a renewal fee when my address has legally been changed to 90 versus 70. The property is completely overcrowded negating the ability to enjoy outdoor communal space. Since the addition of 90 Columbus, we have noticed an abundance of people utilizing grills and basketball courts. It's highly questionable when your communal space looks like a frat/sorority mixer. I have never experienced such overcrowding in the 24 years I have leased apartments. Lots of hidden fees not explained such as pool renewal and it's World War III trying to get into pool area to select a lounge chair. People go up at 10am, throw their towels down, then come back hours later. Guest policy is absolutely hideous for pool area. Hidden fees to bring guests for swim, but unlimited amount of people for outdoor and lawn space. Weekends, one person will easily have 30 guests and occupy the entire lawn area. Although these features are nice to have, don't expect a relaxing experience compared to every other apartment unit in Jersey City with a pool offering. Property is overcrowded and there are lots of people with suitcases hanging in lobby from foreign countries mainly looking for 50 or 90 Columbus. The place has turned into a free fall. As stated, I never have written a review online, but after speaking with current residents at 50/70/90, I was directed to write a review so perspective renters are aware certain services cease to exist. A few of us have toured Ellipse over in Newport and are heading over there in October when our lease is up. Amenities for my spouse such as pool is important because he works afternoons as a volunteer firefighter. 90 Columbus never should have been built. I don't understand how this is not a health hazard.
