Love it here

June 14, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

Beautiful backyard space with a lifeguard and pool, grills for tenants and parking. Management has been quick to respond to any requests/maintenance calls I've made, and I'm very happy to be living with so many wonderful neighbors. Will not be moving again any time soon, and love calling this place home.

Honest review - thank me later

May 23, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

If you have any standards for how you would like to live, run as fast and far away as you can from this building. The hallways perpetually smell like cigarettes, weed, and/or trash. The garage floods after 3 raindrops hit the ground, when there was management they did more harm than good, the heat hardly worked, the AC is non-existent but the absolute worst part is the tenants. The community in this building consists of the rudest and most entitled people I've ever encountered. They spend all day ...

badgering and disrespecting the owner and other tenants. Good luck trying to get a package or let your guest in without being rudely questioned by another tenant. The owner has no business charging the rates in place when there are 0 amenities. I will gladly pay the same amount somewhere else for a new building, washer/dryer in unit, rooftop space, gym AND civilly acting neighbors. Save yourself the headache and go to one of the newer apartment buildings in the area. I am so glad I only signed a 1 year lease, because I am absolutely fleeing the property once it ends.

Great place to live!

February 22, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

I have lived at Hawthorne Towers for 4 years. The apartments are very spacious with lots of closet space. The property manager handles requests and maintenance in a timely manner. If it's something as simple as a lightbulb in the bathroom or needing to replace the refrigerator, the property manager handled it in a timely manner. Hawthorne Towers has a lovely pool and is situated in a park-like setting. It's a great place to live

HAWTHORNE TOWERS REVIEW: A Work In Progress

February 21, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

"Yes, Hawthorne Towers is an "elderly" (vintage) building. It is both part of its charm as well as its challenges. There will always be need for repairs or upgrades to infrastructure, equipment, fixtures of any building. This was true even before Rockledge LLC took ownership / management of the building I call home. If everyone is being honest and sincere -- yes, there is room for improvement -- and the need for listening and learning on "both sides of the aisle" as the political saying goes. ...

I cannot speak for other residents and their individual needs, but the upgrades that have been made in the common areas in less than one year have been surprising and welcome: new furniture and upgrade of the lobby decor; new lighting fixtures and furniture, carpet cleaning and painting in the common areas of each floor; new washing machines and dryers in the laundry room; upgraded barbecue / picnic area; parking garage repair; indoor / outdoor pest control; improved messaging and updates on building news or issues. The on-site staff have been courteous and professional with me. Yes, like most things in life -- it seems to be a work-in-progress.

Poor Management and Inadequate Heating

February 17, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

All of these sparkling reviews are full of lies. The building lobby looks like the Apple Store, but other than that, there are major structural issues. All of the renovations to the building have been cosmetic. On Sundays, the garbage is not tended to and by Monday morning, the floors all have that garbage smell. Currently, in mid February, we have no working heat. Management makes up excuses and gas lights the tenants on a daily basis. Not worth the money they are charging for these ...

apartments. My girlfriend and I would love to move out of this building, but the rental market is insane right now. Rockledge is a joke.

Recommendation for Hawthorne Towers

February 14, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

I would recommend the apartments at Hawthorne Towers. They are nice size apartments in a good location, overall nice neighbors. The staff at Hawthorne Towers is very friendly and hardworking. The new property manager has only been here a few months, but she is very competent and is doing an excellent job. The new management has been here for less than a year and the changes are significant: brand new lobby, renovated apartments, renovated heating/cooling equipment, new laundry, new outdoor ...

grills. There are always some things to be tweaked (as in almost every building), but the updates so far have

Satisfied long-term tenant

February 13, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

I have a spacious one-bedroom with great natural light and four closets; rent is reasonable by Montclair standards and a rent-control ordinance limits increases. The previous landlord did not upgrade the heat/AC system nor fix the chronic roof leaks, but we did have doormen. We were the last rental in Montclair with that wonderful amenity, which the new landlord eliminated, kicking off the undying enmity of some tenants. There have been some issues since the change of ownership- like some AC ...

units not being fixed promptly, issues with pool maintenance last summer- which may have been one-offs; time will tell. It has always been an especially friendly building, in part due to having a pool and a grassy outdoor space where people can socialize. The common areas are now cleaner and the laundry room has new machines. Overall this remains a very nice place to live.

Love the new updates throughout the building A+

February 13, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

I recently moved to Montclair and looked at several different buildings and multifamily properties. Hawthorne Tower had the perfect combination of safety and style. The building is clean and location is close to everything downtown. I've recommended it to a few people looking to move to the area. Keep up the great work!

I’m enjoying my new apartment!

February 13, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

I moved into this building at the beginning of 2023 and I’m really enjoying my apartment. It’s in a perfect spot of Montclair just a stone throw away from all the shops and restaurants and close to public transportation into NYC. I moved into a newly renovated unit and it’s amazing, new appliances and floors. The amount of closet space and overall space is great. This building has a rich community and lovely neighbors. I moved from a high rise luxury building in Weehawken and can honestly say I’m ...

enjoying this way more. The building is under new management and I see the constant improvements. There’s a lot of potential here and great for someone who is looking for a comforting place to live close to everything you need in Montclair!

Poor management

February 9, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com

Issues with communication, addressing large issues, and inappropriate challenging of tenants. Also, constant construction noise and potent cleaning solution smells.

fake reviews

October 28, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com

dont believe the fake positive reviews. current tenants can't even get the new owner to put the heat on. this place is a ghost town from everyone leaving. building owner is shameful and mean to tenants because they have rent control.

Home is here!

October 12, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com

What a great place to call "home". Newly renovated units. The entire staff is always courteous and very quick to attend to any issues that arise. The grounds and facilities are kept clean every single day. The pool area is spacious and the pool sparkling clean. Convenient elevator and covered parking garage!! Safe area and beautiful neighborhood. Located amidst various shops, restaurants, transportation and good schools. Rent is moderately low for the area. **10/10 Recommend**
