  I lived there for 2 years.
  
  Good:
  1) Contrary to what you may think the North Elizabeth area where the building is located is very safe and no, you can't hear planes from the airport nearby.
  2) Price is very affordable and there are no utility fees, you are paying rent only.
  3) The apartments are very spacious, even studios.
  4) There is a train station nearby (around 10 minutes walk to the station + 35 minutes train and you are at Penn Station).
  5) Huge plus: there is a Super Stop and Shop supermarket near the station.
  6) They returned my security deposit with no issues.
  7) A lot of jew people in the area, they mind they own business and usually have a lot of kids so they contribute a lot to the area safety.
  8) The man who is taking care of the building is very hardworking, I respect what he is doing. The floors are always clear and all other stuff is taken care of.
  
  Bad:
  1) Central ventilation/heating is old and recent "renovation" did not help.
  2) There were workers coming to my apartment dozens of times while I was away without me being notified. They constantly adjusted something in AC system, leaving scratches on the floor and I suspect they scared my cat to the death once (cat is fine now).
  3) Train schedule is not very good, no express trains stop there.
  4) Elizabeth central area is not safe. For me it was fine but my wife was afraid to go from the broad street train station alone. There were addicts begging for money or yelling random things and homeless sleeping on benches at the station.
  5) There is literally nothing to do in the area apart from shopping or fast food.
  6) Some neighbors sometimes smoked weed at 1-2 am. The management is making effort to stop that but with limited success. But.. I think its common issue.
  7) The management don't know how to use internet. You have to call or go in person to ask them for maintenance. All online maintenance requests are ignored for weeks or even indefinitely.
  8) Don't take 1st floor. Most of the one star reviews are from people who were living at the 1st floor and are sick and tired of rats coming from the holes in AC
  
  If you on a budget and working near the Penn Station this may be a good option.

  My first apartment with my boyfriend and I haven't been happier. Of course nothing is perfect but they came to my every need. They fix things very promptly I am very satisfied and happy living there. Everyone is so friendly and feels like everyone is family. Diane and Teresa are very helpful and polite and kind. Anytime I have a complaint they are there to fix it and be has helpful as they can. Maintenance team as well is kind and polite. Thank you all for making my first apartment experience great!
