I live at 18park and love it. Maintenance and staff are great. I had a slight issue with new tenants making a lot of impact noise and the building handled it so well. It was resolved. There is a parking garage. The light rail is so so so convenient. The only thing I don’t love is I wish the patio had seating or grills but people sit in the grass when not by the pool

Is the parking included in your rent?

I’ve never heard of parking being included in JC buildings, just FYI.

Thank you! I’m also looking into Weehawken. Any thoughts on that area? How is the commute into the city from there?

Weehawken, you’re looking at bus to PABT or ferry.

Are the buses fairly reliable and well maintained?

I used to commute via NJT bus from Freehold, NJ to PABT for 2 years. I swore that I would never set foot on a NJT bus or in PABT after I moved to JC. This is why I chose to move to a town with direct NJT train service.

Short answer, I hate the bus but YMMV

Isn’t that close to Newark and kind of a rough area? I’ll be getting home from Manhattan late.

? Freehold is central Jersey. Newark isn’t bad. Went to school there 15 years ago and it’s only improved. Irvington can be a little rough and some of the outer wards, but you’re also further from public transportation when you get to those areas.
