    4.5/5 Sandy on Jun 5, 2025

    We have lived here since the apartments were built. I believe we were the second tenants to move in. I hated the idea of moving from our house in Montclair where we had lived for 42 years and raised 7 kids. I'll confess it took me a while to accommodate, but now, having made friends with neighbors, and not having to walk down to the basement to do the laundry, I love living here. We went through a few glitches with managers over the years, but now there is a feeling of respect among everyone and all is working well. We enjoy the wooded setting, the proximity of the walking trail and the convenience of nearby stores. At the moment, there is no place I'd rather be.
