The Landings at Port Imperial Apartments

We have been living here for about six months. Before moving here from Hoboken, we actually looked for waterfront property for a while around Hoboken, Jersey City, and Port Imperial. We picked this place because it fit our requirements of waterfront view of NYC skyline, parking, gym, swimming pool, business center, and security (No doorman, but you need security key to access building lobby door and parking garage, plus I pay 20 dollar every month for my own security system –through Landings management or any third party). We work in the city, so we were worried about commuting. However, ferry bus (7 – 10 mins to terminal) comes right in front of apartment building and NJ bus to Port Authority stop is just outside of complex. The greatest asset of this place is their staff members. Omar helped us onboarding, and in our view, he is the jewel of this company with his attentiveness, sincerity and understanding of our all issues. Property manager Fanny is very helpful and courteous. Emilio, and his maintenance team, is always sincere, and fixing anything we are in need of. We are extremely satisfied here and we hope to transfer soon (within the complex) to an apartment with direct views of NYC skyline!

We moved to The Landings in December (2015) so it’s been 5 months now, and i am extremely satisfied living here. While the apartments are a bit dated and fully carpeted (i prefer hardwood floors), i find the neighborhood quite charming and the neighbors very friendly and helpful.
Transportation is very convenient. Quick drive to shopping areas along River Road, and a 7-​minute drive into Hoboken. The ferry bus runs through here frequently, and the ferry ride is the best part of my commute to city for work. Ferry service is reliable and efficient. The nearest supermarket (Acme) is within walking distance– about 10 min walk along the river… Also you’ll find Starbucks, liquor store, upscale Pizza (and bar) restaurant and Son Cubano for a night out. PF Chang is close by as well. Forget about the nail salon here– the workers are rude.
The gym is small but has plenty to work with and is clean. I haven’t used the pool yet since it will open by Memorial weekend, but i am very excited to try it. It is located by the walkway so you can view partial NYC skyline while sunbathing and lounging in pool. Our apartment does not have direct view of the skyline, unfortunately, but we are only steps away from the magnificent views! Great walkway to stroll, bike ride or run. Lots of people walking their dogs.
I haven’t used the business center here, where they offer computer/​internet service to residents. But its nice to have. The only drawback is that there is no printer. We have our own printer so that’s not an issue for us.
The price we pay for our apartment is very reasonable, considering the location here at Port Imperial. After viewing most of the complexes in this area, we found the best value at The Landings.
Last, but not least– the staff at the leasing office is the best you’ll find anywhere! They are so friendly and helpful, particularly Fanny, Omar and Lisa! They are super nice and professional, always courteous and responsive! I can’t say enough nice things about them– they really make living here very enjoyable! I feel well taken care of here, and my service calls are handled swiftly by the maintenance staff, notably Emilio and Ivan.
I am happy living here, and would definitely recommend The Landings to anyone looking for value at an ideal location!

Friendly, responsive staff in a great location. Apartments are a little dated, but the price is right for the space. The balcony is a nice touch. I visited a couple of other buildings in the area that had a lot of amenities but what matters is that this felt most like home.
This is very convenient to NYC and any where else in New Jersey. Public transportation is limited to the ferry and NJ transit bus, but the ferry is reliable. The local ACME supermarket is convenient, but just ok. I go to Whole Foods or Trader Joes in Edgewater (quick drive from the Landings). I really like having Starbucks, Ben & Jerry’s and Son Cubano within walking distance. The walkway next to the community along the water with the NYC skyline just across is breath taking.
A couple of neighbors are negligent and rude but it’s the same anywhere you live.
I love living here!

INFESTED WITH MICE. STINKS. OUTDATED. LOW LEVEL OVERALL.
I broke my lease running from this place.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
2 BEDROOM APPROX. $ 3000. PER MONTH. CHEAP.
— There is theft going on, NO CAMERAS, your packages stolen left at the mail room. They stole my packages a few times here.
–There has been a few burglary’s since the time I moved in until I moved out, not in my home, but neighbors homes as management sent letters and neighbors were concerned about a huge burglary that happened while they were on vacation.
–People have all types of adornments on their doors, extremely tacky, and the hallways at night smells like ROTTEN CURRY, pee, etc.
–THE QUALITY OF PEOPLE who moved in here had gone downhill (thieves, alcoholics, drug addicts).
— A woman who drinks like there is no tomorrow — was asleep with pee all the floor which she caused.
–The apartments are outdated, and something is always breaking. The bathroom floors are breaking and they won’t change it.
I coud have waited until the end of the lease to move out as moving is hard and tiring BUT… When the mice issues came, I decided to break the lease due to hazardous conditions.
–There are MICE in the building, I am a very clean person, clean deeply twice a week as my family own a cleaning company, I installed beautiful chandeliers, Horchow furniture, had my home on top, but the MICE ISSUE started in December, and I realized end of January it was actually mice, I never ever had this issue before and would never think a «luxury place» would even allow this. I didn’t want to believe there would be MICE inside these apartments. My apartment is not the only one, another neighbor who moved out also had these issues.
1)The landings did not offer the first time to take down all cabinets (CHEAP) to find where the mice are coming from. They only placed some cover on the laundry room where the mice were allegedly coming from. They are INHUMANE where the mice venom slowly suffocates the animal until it dies, yet they are animal friendly? There are humane methods to take care of this, but they cost a little more, so that tells you a lot, unless of course, which may be the case, the building could be infested with mice.
2) The exterminator came a lot of times because he FAILED to fid out what was really going on. Placed venom in my living room knowing I have a dog.
3) Problem went on for 2 months I could not take it anymore, I LOST ALL MY ORGANIC FOOD, GOT VERY SICK WITH A STOMACH VIRUS, until I found a real professional higher level pace and ran out of this place.
4) After going through hell the last 2 months they offered to take down the cabinets. Too late. This had to be done in the beginnings. Not after 2 months and complain letters to corporate.
And on top of LEAVIG UNDER HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS AND THEY EXPOSED ME AND MY DOG TO DANGER, THEY ARE CHARGING US A $ 5000 FEE FOR LEAVING. I received the letter and now I am EXPOSING THEIR TRUTH, I have pictures of my whole apartment covered with mice poop. Take this in account, my apartment didn’t have fireplace as others do in this property.
I HAVE ALL PROOF OF THE NIGHTMARE OF THE LANDINGS.
IF you move into the landings, be mindful that you will be exposing yourself to this and much more. THERE IS THEFT GOING ON.
THEY GOT THEIR LITTLE 5000, WE HAVE A NICE LEGAL SURPRISE FOR THEM COMING UP WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, LETS SEE WHO WILL BE LAUGHING THEN :)
The place where I live now, near by, is outstanding, professional, they take care of me when I need something and the neighbors are on the higher scale.

I’ve been to Equity Apartments in NYC and all their staff members/​office members were nice. EXCEPT THIS ONE IN NJ.
They made us wait 10−15mins outside the hallway without explaining why. not letting us into the office. Then say she’s so busy with the move-​ins today so we would have to wait another 20 mins or so at the HALLWAY. Ok. We were actually going to wait since we wanted to see this property in nj all the way from NYC.
BUT
she had the most awful attitude towards us. and actually said. «LISTEN are you going to wait 20 minutes or leave? I gotta go.» (note that she didn’t even say sorry for making us wait in the hallway or ignoring the appointment)
I mean. we made an APPOINTMENT. And we had the most kind and polite attitude towards her even though she threw negative bombs at us. I can’t believe this office belongs to the Equity because ALL THE OTHER STAFFS IN NYC were 100 times nicer.
I don’t understand how can do business like this.
Well it was nice seeing you guys. And we had fun looking around your competitors’ buildings. And we liked them better.

Best place to live in NJ… awesome location, pool and great staff

Pros: Highly recommend The Landings. The leasing consultants (i.e., Lisa) are hardworking; in many regards Lisa is a one-​woman staff on-​site maintaining long hours and a pleasant demeanor. Lisa facilitates guest inquires and requests and comments in a to-​the-​point, efficient and effective manner. She’s genuine and candid; down-​to-​earth — her authenticity is refreshing. She goes above and beyond the call of duty to manage both prospective tenants and current residents. She’s easily accessible via phone and email during business hours and prompt about returning calls. The property is beautifully landscaped with classic style architecture (unlike the overly modernized high-​rises) including spacious balconies and heavy-​duty washer/​dryer units in apartments. Safe location alongside the Hudson with miraculous view, plus convenient courtesy shuttle to the ferry, local AP Fresh grocery store, nail salon and more…
Cons: Not sure what the on-​site parking enforcement attendant («Security») does all day and night.
Some dropkick dogs on site…

The Good: Nice location, convenient commute to NYC.
The Bad: Pet Friendly but a few negligent owners result in urine soaked hallway carpet and the occasional turd on the sidewalk.
The Ugly: As with any place, watch your lease terms. They will say one thing and then back out of a verbal agreement.
