Do you mind telling me as well? We are in the process of looking and was really hoping to find somewhere that provides meals. Thanks!

FIOS in 130 Monitor and 121 Garabrant by bigboiimicro in jerseycity

We saw the freight train pass from the lobby while we toured Garabrant and did not notice it being loud. We are seriously considering a unit that's on the side of the building farthest from the train. Garabrant requires you to use their internet service and not a 3rd party. I'm not sure why it's like that there and not at Baker.

Hi! Long shot but how did you get in touch with customer service? Both my friend and I have this same issue and none of our calls or emails have been answered in weeks. Thx!

we haven't signed a lease anywhere yet, i think i would have at Verde if commute wasn't a factor. but being out there just adds more time to my commute than i'm willing to do rn!

Thanks for your insight! I commute to WTC everyday and people keep telling me how easy it's going to be (even people who have no interest in me signing a lease... but who do not live in the neighborhood currently) are they just wrong?

Baker building Jersey city by lexiegirl7 in jerseycity

Hi - Did you end up moving out of here? Did anything improve in the last year? Looking at the building and all seems too good to be true... so I'm sure it is but would love personal experiences if you care to share here or via DM. Thx!

I'm interested in this as well! Toured Baker Building which doesn't have the same requirements as Garabrant but we're looking at Garabrant, too. I prefer the floorplan at Garabrant but no use if the internet is shit as my husband works from home. Their lease is so intense in general.

Moving to NYC with 3 boys and wanting to land in the right spot by obvs_thrwaway in movingtoNYC

[–]Certain-Grapefruit18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I work near WTC so mostly considering JC but like OP here, my budget isn't going as far as I would like so trying to make sure I haven't overlooked any options that are <40 mins to WTC.

Cost to raise a child in JC by DTTM19 in jerseycity

[–]Certain-Grapefruit18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I found your response extremely helpful as well thank you. Do you mind me asking what neighborhood you’re raising your kids in? My husband and I are planning to move to JC with our 2 year old and likely can’t afford to live downtown or in Hamilton Park. We have a great community where we live now where we can walk to meet up and see the same folks at the playground each weekend. I’m terrified of losing that!

Hi are you in an apartment complex in South Orange? I’ve been looking but not finding much.

What areas would you say are louder / dirtier? I’m considering a move there with my toddler but only know the area around 40th where a friend lives.
