The 263 location is the BARE MINIMUM of apartments. I will say that the location is super convenient. It is smack dab in the middle of Newark and Montclair. Very close to the trains to NY. However, the up keep of the apartments is very disappointing as previously stated, they do the bare minimum for apartments. When I reviewed the apartments on apartment.com the bathroom and kitchen looked very clean and up to date. Looking that the actual apartment I must say I was not happy with what I saw. You could tell that they made little to no effort to make it presentable. The tiling in the bathroom was severely chipped and moldy. It looked like the tub was failing a part. The bathroom is extremely small and the fact that the toilet is right next to the door is a huge inconvenience. If someone is using the bathroom that would get smacked by the door if someone were to walk in. The appliances in the kitchen were extremely outdated. Please don't be fooled by the black appliances in the photos. The appliances are all white with access grease stains and stickers on the fridge from the previous renter. Let's talk about the over priced on site laundry room. The washers are EXTREMELY small and outdated and cost $2.00 a load and $1.75 to dry. If you think you can go wash your sheets, comforter, or even 5 pairs of jeans in one load you are sadly mistaken. What's most interesting about this apartment cite is the fact that they do little to nothing to update it but have no problem with charging yearly rent increases. What exactly are you charging the rent increase for? You're not adding anything new for residents. You're not updating anything. From what I hear from other residents that have been here for years, the only thing that has changed is the outside pavement. Goldberg, I've seen, in person, all the work you do for your other sites, maybe you should give that same attention to this one.
