Apt was very clean, repainted, floors re-varnished before I moved in. Some cons are that this is an older complex and there's very little insulation between units- neighbors will be heard! Also no on-site parking for guests, street parking in Cedar Grove is restricted at night so you have to call the police to let them know the car belongs to you.

It is amidst a lot of shopping, restaurants, transportation and schools. It is also a 10 minute drive to two beautiful parks, Verona Park and Cedar grove park. The best part of living here is the management/staff....Eddie, Carlos, Noreen, Ricardo and Santiago. They always greet you with a smile, are extremely accommodating and super friendly. They keep the grounds and facilities clean every day and are quick to respond to any issues that may arise. They are always very helpful to the needs of all the residents here. I also feel very safe living here because of these 5 wonderful and amazing people. I could not be happier and plan to continue living here for a long time to come.

First the tennent upstairs was very noisy and was reprimanded several times to no avail. Although 95% of the maintenance department were friendly, the supervisor was a real curmudgeon! Most of the residents are either empty nester's or work in the city and found that most had a chip on their shoulder. We tried to make friends but a lot of people weren't very receptive. If you like pets, this is the place for you. One thing, the airplanes start flying overhead at 5am so don't plan on sleeping late and the property sits on the former site of a jail and sanatorium. There are a lot of woods behind the property which freaks me out. The pools are nice and the gym is OK. They built a yoga or Pilates studio for the snooty, pretentious women there.

I am a current renter who has lived here for several years, and I am sharing this review across…read moreplatforms to strongly caution anyone considering renting here under Sparrow Property Management unless you are prepared for neglect, poor communication, and a steadily declining property. Since Sparrow Property Management took over, the building has gone downhill quickly. The property is consistently filthy -- common areas are dirty, trash is poorly maintained, and basic upkeep is not being done. It feels like no one is responsible for keeping the building livable. Basic services are also being neglected. For example, there has been no heat in the lobby or elevators for over 72 hours, with no vendors on-site to address the issue. Snow removal is inadequate and unsafe. Entrances, sidewalks, and walkways are poorly cleared during storms, creating dangerous conditions for residents. Management is essentially nonexistent. The property manager is rarely on-site, there is no visible oversight, and communication is terrible. When issues are raised, they are often ignored or dismissed. Being told directly that "monitoring the property is not her job" is both shocking and unacceptable. Like many renters, I do not currently have the financial ability to move, so I am forced to live with these declining conditions. There is no pride in maintaining this property and no real accountability. Profit has clearly taken priority over providing a clean and safe living environment. AVOID THIS BUILDING AT ALL COSTS!

Cars were flooded in the past and were destroyed - as such, tenants moved out. If you have an issue with a noisy, harassing neighbor, you need to take them to the Nutley Court yourself as management will NOT intervene and abide by the Lease you sign. They also play funny with $ they owe you when you vacate. Steer clear and look elsewhere! I hope this doesn't get taken down as they pay companies to remove bad reviews.

Lets start with the bedroom sizes. Where in North NJ can you get a 1 bedroom apartment with a HUGE walk in closet and bedroom size of 15x12 for under $1100??? This $1100 also includes refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave attached to the stove, large pantry, updated kitchen and bathroom, 2 air conditioning units, wall to wall carpeting, chandelier, blinds heat and hot water. The complex sits right on top of highway route 46 and depending on you unit, you WILL hear the highway every second of every day. Some units are louder and much closer to the highway then desirable. They offer garages with electricity built into the bill at a preimum price. There is a pool available for summer months to enjoy though it isn't that big. Its location is close to everything you need and for college students, graduates and couples just starting out its a great place to live. The superintendent lives in the complex and gets around to service calls within a few days depending on the severity of the need. I really didn't have any complaints living here. I think it was a good price for what you get. The highway being so close is definitely a negative and if you don't get to know the property manager and super, you might wait a tad longer for your service call to be completed then you would like. So just make your face known, give a call every now and then and you really shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, you are right on 46, but it's not too bad depending on where your apartment is located. The complex itself is very quiet, with the occasional party which quiets down at night. All the tenants are, for the most part, courteous but a few could use a lesson in parking lol. But all in all, it's a great place to live. Depending on which floor you are on will determine your price. From $1100 to $1600 for a 1 bedroom - the higher price being the top floor. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND renting here!
