385 Palisade

Its been great to live here. Staff is really great and love the location.

I've lived in this apartment for about three, almost four years now, and in that time the flaws have become very clear—it's hard to change the lightbulbs or smoke alarm battery because it's too high up, the bathroom faucet came off within days of my taking possession of the apartment, there is no residential parking except on the street (not even an enclosed garage in walking distance!), no building management live IN the building, packages have been stolen from the mail area inside the front door, the air conditioning doesn't work most of the time, there's no camera for security, the door doesn't always close right so people coming in might accidentally leave it open—all this for a rent that keeps going up every year?

This apartment is too expensive for what I get

I've been living here for nearly two years, and it's been a mixed bag. The building is recently renovated so what's here is in good shape, but there's very little in the way of amenities—No Laundry Room or in-apartment laundry, no common area for cookouts or get-togethers, no elevator, not even tenant parking. There's also no super or building engineer so you have to make an appointment if you need something done. OTOH, there's a kitchenette, a largish common area that's sort of a dining room/living room mix, my bedroom (the only room in my apartment with windows!), and a "study" or spare room which right now I use mainly for storage. The neighborhood is mixed residential/business, and is a safe and pleasant place to live. It's a good apartment over all, and not too horribly expensive given it's in Jersey City—but I'd really like a laundry room, common area, and parking garage....

The area is a great place to live. The staff are great as well. love the experience with this company

I moved in about a year ago, in the middle of an ongoing divorce—and while this place isn't perfect by any means (no parking garage or lot, no patio for grilling or socializing, no elevator), it is a newly-renovated building with a nice if small kitchenette, one bedroom (the only room with a window), a "general area" that serves as living room/kitchen/dining room, and a small "study" or storage space. Jersey City buses stop right down the block, and the NJ Light Rail station is about a 8-10 block walk. There are several bars and restaurants of various cuisines including Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, upscale casual dining, seafood, bakeries, coffee bar (sit-down as well as takeaway) within a few blocks, a Supremo Supermarket two blocks away, laundromats/dry cleaning, barbershops, at least three preschools, a Pharmacy/UPS Store a block away, and Christ Hospital is five-six blocks down the street. The rent's on the high side, the trash room is down a steep flight of stairs (not easy for a retiree like myself to navigate), and maintenance isn't always as prompt as they could be—but on balance it's a good place for adults to live. Now if they could just convert the vacant lot next door into resident parking and a patio for summer entertaining....
