    The pounding coming from the gym in the basement starts at 6am. The entire building shakes and is impossible to ignore.

    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.

    5/5 Tahirra S. on Dec 1, 2019

    excellent super- extremely nice, helpful and always ready to help in anyway and take care of everything one needs- all buildings need to have a super like him - thanks Ricardo for doing such a great job!

    Experience was very easy. Building is very quiet and peaceful. The staff is always resposive. The only thing is i would have liked a checklist of all of the subscriptions that are required.

Popular neighborhoods to rent in Jersey City include Journal Square, Hamilton Park, Van Vorst Park, The Heights and Bergen-Lafayette. Many rentals in Jersey City also come with amenities like fitness centers, rooftop decks, parking facilities and communal spaces.
