    I've lived at Dvora for four months, as my first residency in New Jersey. The staff (doormen) are always so welcoming and pleasant - they greet everyone that enters the building and know the residences by name. Its a very welcoming complex. The only negative is that that the leasing office is impossible to get a hold of. They don't have a direct number or email, which makes it complicated to resolve issues.
