Had a great stay at Urby Abode earlier this month! I stayed in a studio apartment, and it truly had everything I needed. The apartment had a wonderful, fully-equipped kitchen (which was surprisingly big for a studio), a nice-sized bathroom and sleeping area, and a lovely living area. The furnishing and design of the apartment were modern, sleek, and inviting. I truly loved it and felt very much at home.
The complex itself is a real gem in Harrison. I particularly enjoyed Urby's coffee shop and the many beautiful outdoor spaces where I could sit and work in the complex. Urby's longer-term residents seem really lovely, and there's a true feeling of community here.
What made my stay the best it could be is the staff. Anna, who was my point person from day one, is truly exceptional. She was friendly, professional, and generous with her time when I came to tour Urby before my stay. She also answered any question I had after I booked my stay, and was so incredibly helpful during my time here - always welcoming and with a smile on her face. She immediately resolved a minor issue I had, and was quick to follow up about another question. She truly made me feel well taken care of during my time here.
Jazmyn at the front desk was also really wonderful! She checked me in when I first arrived, was incredibly helpful during my week, and was always so welcoming and friendly! She immediately made me feel like I was welcomed to the Urby community. Sara, who I briefly spoke to when I checked out of my unit, was also lovely. And Rome from maintenance was incredibly helpful in promptly and professionally resolving a minor issue for me.
Overall, I truly enjoyed my time here. I wish my budget would have allowed to stay here longer, as it truly felt like home. I would definitely recommend staying at Urby Abode, and hope to...
Read moreWe recently moved into the Urby, and I couldn’t be happier with our decision. Tenzin, our leasing agent, was incredibly helpful—she made us feel so comfortable, never pressured, and went above and beyond to show us multiple options.
The sense of community here is unlike any other building we’ve lived in. There are so many amenity spaces, and people actually use them! It almost feels like being back in college dorms (but with a much higher level of maturity). The design of the building is stunning, and the overall vibe is relaxed and welcoming.
We’re saving a lot of money compared to living in Jersey City, and this building offers so much more. The restaurants on-site are a huge bonus, and as a weightlifting fan, I’m thrilled that both gyms have squat racks—something you almost never see in apartment gyms. Add in the fire pits, cozy common spaces, and more, and it feels like this place has everything. Plus, it’s just a 20-minute PATH ride to Jersey City!
The staff here is amazing too. Olenna and Jordan have stood out, as well as the teams at Charley Bistro and Coperaco Cafe. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming.
Moving here was the best choice we could have made—it makes us feel young again! Highly recommend living at the Urby.
UPDATE: Also wanted to give a shoutout to David on the maintenance team for saving the...
Read moreWe needed a month to month place while we were in between coming back from aboard and finding a home or rental. The Urby's location at the PATH and a grocery story, great amenities (free parking garage, two gyms, library, outdoor grills etc), friendly/flexible staff, and well thought through apartments made this a no brainer to extend for 2 more months. Also, there's a nice 10% residence discount at the Austrian restaurant called Charlie's on premise, which is well run and delicious. We never had a leak problem in our apartment, but every rainy day it seemed the next day the maintenance/repair team was fixing leaks in the hallway. This went on the 3 months we were there. That said, it was the perfect place for our short term stay. The apartment was turnkey and the staff amazing,...
