Anonymous on Jan 12, 2021Renewed my lease this year at the Hamilton House. Though more affordable leasing options were available in the neighborhood, the entire DVORA maintenance and concierge teams do an amazing job keeping the residents safe and the building sanitary. Well done!

Property reviewsJess on Dec 31, 2021
Feels like home the staff are great, one thing I noticed is that sometimes the weekly cleaning lady doesn’t thoroughly wash the dishes like she used to, she just rinses it and puts it in the dishwasher with residue still in it. Maybe the way they clean changed? but that is a minor issue
JC on Jun 1, 2022Small building that makes you feel home, excellent maintenance, friendly and helpful staff.

Property reviewsAmer S. on Jun 8, 2020The best place to live in Jersey City
Anonymous on Oct 7, 2019I've been living in Dvora's Art House building for almost a year and they introduced their app and complimentary services offering about midway through. While the apartment and building amenities are great, the service has really changed the way I live for the better. Having my packages and dry-cleaning placed neatly in my apartment is always a pleasant surprise but the weekly refresh is a game changer. Coming home to a clean apartment (bed made, dishes washed, trash removed) literally makes my day. Thank you to the Dvora team for being so awesome!

Ask for pricingProperty reviewsDaniel N. on Sep 28, 2019Love living here! Beautiful building, helpful staff. The bug situation has been rough this month but other than that no complaints.
John R. on Sep 26, 2019I lived here for one year and signed up for another year. I enjoy living in this building. I haven't had any issues. I do hope we could extend the laundry time access, I (like alot of people) work in NYC and its not easy getting back here to do laundry earlier than 8pm. Perhaps it can be extended until 9pm?
