I have lived in Eleven80 for about 3 years. I moved away after year 1 (in an attempt to save money) and rent a walk up in Jersey City by JS Station- not worth it. I quickly found myself moving back here and have stayed for another 2 years. I’m currently leaving at the end of my lease this fall (Oct 2019). So my amazing unit will be available it you’re looking!
These other reviews on here are ridiculous. The privacy is amazing! Because the original building was built in the 30s, but renovated in the 2000s the walls are THICK – almost noise impenetrable. I never heard my neighbors at my old unit at all and have only heard them at my current unit if there is super loud music (rarely), and even then the sound is distant and easy to ignore with my own tv without having to blast my volume. I attribute this to the amazing thick walls. All these other new apartment buildings they are slapping up have the thinnest walls so if this is important to you and you’re looking to rent in downtown Newark – only rent from Eleven80. In addition – you never have to worry about a lost package or issues with grocery delivery as the front desk/concierge handles everything.
The staff at the building are AMAZING! Demetrice, Hurst, Shekinah, and Ralph always say hi to you in the mornings and evenings – they know you by name. They have most everyone’s floor memorized and will frequently remotely press the floor number for you after calling the elevator down. Victor and Jorge are super friendly porters and do a great job of keeping the building running with a quick response time. Every time I see Victor he always says he’s having a excellent day. It’s really inspiring to see someone that has that attitude and just generates it.
Pablo, Ann, and Pamela are fantastic in how they treat residents. They have annul parties a couple times a year and frequently have resident appreciation breakfasts. The Halloween Party is the best! (even though I lost the costume contest to formidable opponents. The first year we lived here we had an issue with the washer/dryer and it was looked at same day and determined that it needed to be replaced instead of repaired. Within 24 hrs we had a brand new washer and dryer unit. This year when we had issues with our dishwasher the response was also about 24 hrs and they cleaned the unit out for us (food buildup in the sprayers) and it worked well after that.
There are basic, common courtesies’ that are common sense and not at all intrusive. Basically, (1) wear shoes when you leave your apartment unit (just because you’re in the building doesn’t mean the space outside your unit isn’t “public/common area” -because it is. You can’t just be down in the lobby in your socks. Especially in the gym – wear gym shoes. (2) If you set off the fire alarm in your individual unit -don’t open the door -it will set off the building-wide alarm and piss off all your neighbors. Be nice. Either open your window or turn on your vent and ride it out. The review on here that makes the comparison to prison or “South Korea” likely doesn’t have common respect for neighbors.
The neighborhood is a great place to live! If the location in Newark (so close to Penn) is something giving you pause I can assure you the area is safe and the building has security, etc in the evenings. There are plenty of places to eat out (bars, burgers, pizzas, etc). There is the Whole Foods at the end of a beautiful Military park. You’re right down the street from NJ PAC -it’s been invaluable. I go to Whole Foods for emergency food – I go to NJ PAC for the comedy shows, and Harry Potter, Star Wars and other films shown with the score done by NJ Symphony -it’s...
   Read moreI recently had the pleasure of moving into my new apartment, and I am absolutely thrilled to share my exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped foot into the building, I knew I had found my perfect haven.
First and foremost, the management team went above and beyond to ensure a seamless move-in process. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail were truly commendable. They patiently addressed all my inquiries, provided thorough explanations, and made me feel like a valued resident even before I moved in.
The apartment itself is nothing short of magnificent. The moment I opened the door, I was greeted by an immaculate space that felt like a blank canvas waiting for me to bring it to life. The layout is well-thought-out, maximizing the use of space and providing a sense of openness. The high-quality finishes, modern fixtures, and tasteful design choices create an ambiance of contemporary luxury.
One of the standout features of my new apartment is the attention given to comfort. The temperature control system keeps the environment pleasant throughout the year, ensuring I can always find respite from the elements. The noise insulation is exceptional, creating a serene atmosphere that allows me to relax and unwind after a long day.
The amenities offered in this community are truly second to none. The fitness center is well-equipped with top-of-the-line exercise machines and provides a motivating environment for a great workout. The rooftop terrace, with its breathtaking views, has quickly become my favorite spot to enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the city skyline. The package delivery system is also a convenient addition, providing peace of mind that my deliveries are safe and secure.
Furthermore, the location of this apartment complex is absolutely ideal. It is situated in a vibrant neighborhood with a wide array of dining options, shops, and entertainment venues within walking distance. Additionally, the proximity to public transportation and major highways makes commuting a breeze.
Last but not least, the maintenance staff deserves a special mention. They are prompt, efficient, and highly skilled. Any concerns or issues I had during the move-in process were resolved quickly and with utmost professionalism. It is reassuring to know that help is just a phone call away.
In conclusion, my move-in experience at this apartment has been nothing short of exceptional. The management team's dedication, the stunning apartment itself, the impressive amenities, the ideal location, and the reliable maintenance service have all contributed to making this my perfect haven. I wholeheartedly recommend this apartment complex to anyone seeking a superior...
   Read moreThis one experience of mine defines the way the management here functions. I lived in 1180 for more than 15 months (From Oct-13 till Mar-15). I was living in 1BHK apartment with lease until May 2015. But to due to some job related commitments I had to relocate to the west coast in Mar-15. Now my company was ready to pay me all the rent closure penalties for the apartment provided I submit proper documentation and receipts (Lease agreement section for early closure policies, move out receipts ). Now as per 1180 Management “you are responsible for the rent until your lease ends”. Now since I was doing an early closure this meant I owed them 2 months of rent (April and May) and I should be good to go. In return I just needed the section of Lease which clearly states the early closure of lease policies and a letter that I vacated the place on Mar 31st. I did my part upfront, I gave them the 2 month rent. In return what I got was a ledger of all my rent logs as a closing documentation which was not I asked for. Then I tried to go through the Lease agreement myself to figure out if I could pin point the section which says “you are responsible for the rent until your lease ends” or something of that sort. But I could not locate a single policy which says so (Probably because I am not an expert in reading legal jargons and that’s precisely why I needed their help). It could be there in some fine print. But the lady who heads the management did not help me in spite of repeated follow-ups and countless emails for over a month. They just plane ignored me. Which even makes me think were they bluffing about the closure policy.
Now I lost the window to submit my claims at my work place. This whole ordeal cost me 4000$ of easy money. I honestly wouldn't recommend anybody to this place looking at the apathy of the management to residents who try to move out of this place. There are few good qualities about this place like its proximity to the Penn station and the building staff is really helpful. But when someone has to beg to get basic information regarding lease policies at a place and not get correct exit documentation, it just boils down to a new level of un-professionalism by...
