About Riverside Estates Apartment Homes
Located on an idyllic and quiet tree lined residential street steps from the one of the best rated and active downtowns (recently named best downtown in NJ!) in New Jersey, Riverside Garden Apartments is a wonderful place to call home. Our community offers apartments with fantastic layouts, wonderful light, updated kitchens, spa-like tiled bathrooms, in-unit stackable washer/dryer (in renovated units), hardwood or wood-look plank flooring, dishwasher, gas range and stainless steel appliances. Situated in a serene, park-like setting along the Rahway River, Riverside Gardens is steps away from all of the amazing nightlife, shopping and amenities, including the NJ Transit train station, that Cranford has to offer. Our ideal location offers the best of all worlds. If you drive to work or school, I-78 and the Garden State Parkway are easily accessible from our community. Cranford consistently ranks as one of the best and safest communities in NJ for young professionals, families and retirees. Our location allows our residents to take full advantage of the unmatched lifestyle that the charming and popular town of Cranford has to offer. Office hours are Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Some photos may be virtually staged. Furniture not included with unit.

Renters Reviews and Ratings
Outstanding Management and very attentive
September 7, 2020The only reason we moved out of Riverside Garden Apartments at 12 Riverside Drive is because we finally made it to buy a house, if that were not the situation we would definitely stayed there. The current management of the apartments is really responsive and attentive (and I have to say, very understanding). My wife and me were really impressed with the very quick response times we always got from both the Management and the Maintenance areas. If I have to recommend a very safe and decently ...priced apartment-complex in Cranford, I would definitely recommend Riverside Garden Apartments at 12 Riverside Drive. Also, they have been refurbishing all the apartments lately!Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
