Resident 2017

10/15/2017

Hello, I have lived in the building for about 4 months and with every apartment there are pros and cons. This company claims to offer Luxury apartments. Having granite counter tops and in-unit laundry don't qualify as luxury. My previous apartment offered a coffee bar, dog treats at the door, a pool and grills to be used by all. My previous apartment wasn't in NJ but it was less than half the price of this place with far more amenities. As far a must haves to be considered luxury the lobby should be more user friendly, including a coffee bar for tenants, a business center to allow for printing and vending machines should be added to the garage area. The building also claims to be dog friendly but they have no secure area to walk your dog that isn't on a 60 degree incline. Management doesn't like when you walk your dog in the front but clearly it is the only accessible place for both the dog and the human. The website does a great job of making the surrounding neighborhood look less ------ but in reality the apartment location is in the hood. The area will be changing as the buildings across the street have been purchased by Rutgers, but seriously they should be require to tell you how many shooting have taken place within 500 yards of your "luxury" apartment with in the last year. Last major issue is that they didn't spend the money on expensive windows because I hear sirens and people from the street at all hours of the day and night. Some of the pros for the building include the new building manager is young and hip and is making efforts to make the building more inviting to its tenants by organizing events. The full-time security guards are always nice and friendly. The secured parking lot is a nice add on although with a "luxury" apartment you would think a parking space would be included in the already asinine rent. The building also offers guest parking spots for friends or family. As someone who works at the University Hospital it is an easy commute and could be walkable if your willing to walk through the surrounding area. (I am not, but some do.) I hope this information helps you make a more education decision on the building you are thinking of living in.

    Our motto is Inspiring Our Neighbors. All of the staff at 24 Jones believes that housing is the most fundamental of needs. Each evening and each morning we are there as you start and end your day. We hope you pass on to others the good service, good deeds, and acts of kindness we provide every day. Our staff works hard to inspire you so that you can inspire others. We strive to do good deeds for our residents. When we pass on a good deed, we know it never dies. We are proud of the amenities at the building. They are extremely competitive for this market. We understand that someone moving here from another area of the country may be surprised at the local cost of housing in general. Newark is basically a suburb of New York City, one of the more expensive markets in the country. It's the Big Apple. Nothing else compares. We welcome the comment about the dog area and in response actually created a larger dog park for pets to play freely. We love our dogs and cats. This location has a 24-hour door man, two security guards at a time patrolling the grounds for the building and the adjoining Shop Rite, and and full array of cameras recording activity. Safety is our primary concern. We don't rent apartments to people only to have them feel unsafe or run into bad experiences. We welcome your visit at any time for an accurate impression of the building and are sure you will understand how proud we are of our mission of Inspiring Our Neighbors.
