Troy Towers Apartments

smoking building, and they changed the visitor parking hour till 10pm, but they will have to pay $10 if they stay after that. My biggest complaint is tenant parking however. If you come home after 10pm on a weekday, it will be very difficult for you to find parking, ESPECIALLY in the winter after a snow storm. It gets so bad that people will have to park alongside the curb in the no parking zones, and you will have to hope that you don't come back to a parking ticket. It's just annoying that if you are paying a monthly parking fee, you should have a guaranteed place to park when coming back home. Renovated apts can be pricey, especially for a one bedroom. I work late hours, so parking was the deal breaker for me, if I'm paying a monthly parking fee, I would prefer assigned parking so at least I know I have a spot to come home to. If you work late hours and drive, just keep that in mind. Besides that, the apartments are pretty nice.

which has really resolved maybe the only issue we had with the building. The tenants are very nice and mostly quiet. The fact that all utilities are included has spoiled us a little bit with energy saving. Overall, our experience has been wonderful.

a full week without a/c. Top of that they do not have enough parking space. You are allowed only one space if you have one bedroom apartment. So be prepared to park your 2nd car back and forth between visitor parking and township parking lot behind Ihop. New management is the worse. Only good for posting memos. Would not recommend at all!!!!

between building A and B and if you live on a higher floor, you get great views of the city or the park. The laundry room is on the basement, and if you avoid peak hours (sat/sun noon) then there is no problem with finding available washers and dryers, which work great. They recently have verizon fios available which is super fast if you depend on wifi like me. People: The tenants are very friendly and the building managers Frank and Anna are awesome and always ready to help us if we needed anything. The security guards are generally very friendly and people stop by to chat with them all the time. The super was prompt if we needed anything fixed, and the whole time the only issue we had was with the faucet, which was changed for us promptly. Parties: Yes, they even have parties here! Twice a year during halloween and once in the summer, they arrange get togethers for the tenants with music, food and drinks. It’s a really nice way to get to know the other tenants and the building staff. Parking: Parking is very convenient to find either during the day or night, there is always a space available. Each apartment gets 1 space outdoors, which costs an extra $25/month. And there are options to get indoor parking. There is guest parking available until 10pm, and you can pay extra to have your guest leave their car overnight. Convenience: Bloomfield is a pretty quiet and convenient town. The montclair-boonton line goes directly into the city within ~35 minutes and is perfect during peak hours. It’s a bit harder to find trains during late at night. There are buses that run along bloomfield avenue and it’s very easy to get around. There are lots of supermarkets around, and if you drive for 8 minutes you can reach super fresh, which has really great produce and prices. Overall: I loved staying here, and I definitely would have stayed longer if I didn’t have to go back to new york to finish medical school. Couldn’t recommend it more!

you have guests over and who your guests are, it gets recorded. 3. Elevators do not work. in building B we had only one elevator work for like 6 month and on going. This is a safety issue especially for emergencies. Elderly and sick might need EMTs, I am not even talking about fire emergency where people can not physically evacuate. 4. They like to write memos. The whole building is plastered with those memos. Usually the memos threaten police or legal action against elderly and retired. 5. Plaster is coming off the ceiling. Upkeep lacks basic supervision. (I had my place renovated last year, it needs it again, simply because the work is bad). Corridors are the same way. 6. They can't seem to make up their minds about their dog policy. It changes more often then you can tract it. 7. Heating cooling units do not work, you are not supposed to get your own yet after enough vain repair requests you give up. 8. Parking issue, there is a parking issue. Basically for what I am paying pier month, given the area and the quality I do not feel like I am getting a good deal. They turned the place into a dump. I mean to give a review this bad to a place i live in....
