Very disappointed with the services, my packages kept getting lost and I kept receiving incorrect packages. I once incorrectly received a package full of weed which is very dangerous for my small dog as he could have consumed it since it was in a paper envelope. The hallways on my floor sometimes smelled like weed so to incorrectly bring it into my house really upset me which lead me to leave. The neighborhood is not very safe, I was approached by a man on the block one night who was very dangerous making me feel very unsafe and uncomfortable. The heating / cooling system doesn’t work well, it’s always too hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Their is a lot of noise in the area during the day such as construction so it’s hard to work from home or sleep in. I had neighbors throw loud parties atleast twice that continued throughout the night with people drinking in the hallways. I asked for help removing some TVs from the wall when I moved out but I was ignored which I found rude. When I moved in I asked to live on the top floor since I was one of the first residents but I was lied to and told those apartments were not available only to find out from the neighbors that they indeed where leased out later, I found this very unfair. The only positive thing about the apartment is the large windows with views of NYC and the rooftop but they recently built a new building that blocks half the view. They have a really nice indoor rooftop as well that is great for entertainment with friends. The gym has a peloton which I really enjoyed. The building is really clean but the surrounding areas on the block are not. (Good building but not so good area) The pricing is getting so high that it’s around the same as Newport, Grove and exchange place which are way better areas in jersey city. The management team helped me have an easy move out the building and I received my security deposit back very fast which was nice and appreciated.

When I signed the lease without even seeing the place, (due to corona/fear of taking the subway/work) I had close to a panic attack checking these reviews because I felt like I'd made a huge mistake, but I'm happy to report that this building is great. The other review reporting "shadiness," I think he literally just misunderstood the lease agreement, which I did too, it's written kind of weird, but ask questions and they're happy to answer them. I'd like to offer my opinion to those looking at this building who are unable to visit in person, but take this review with a grain of salt, and of course, visit in person and walk around the area if you're able to. Apartments: The apartments are brand new, the in-unit washer dryers are a huge bonus, and the roof-top / co-working area is worth it in my opinion. When my door was broken, maintenance was able to come in and fix it within a day. Studio was smaller in person than over video but I like small spaces and didn't mind. Wifi: At the time of this writing, my floor is pretty empty, thus my wifi is solid. I've talked to other people on floors that are full, however, and their wifi is really slow. Some people have opted to get their own wifi from Comcost. Others just work on the coworking floor, which seems to be getting busier by the week, but it's still pretty damn empty. So when leasing says, "Free wifi," don't expect it to be fast. Even the coworking floor has wifi in some places that's like 50 Mbps. It's workable, but video calls can be kind of laggy. Leasing warns you about this in the agreement, so it's not like they're scamming you. I think it's just the Wifi setup they have in the building with Comcast that's not very good. If they really wanted to solve it, maybe MRK could install more routers? Area: It's decent, C-town (the grocery store) is insanely close but I've noticed that you have to use the produce pretty soon after you buy it. I haven't explored other produce options in the area yet, but I'd like to. There are sirens frequently on my side of the building, I believe due to the fact that there's a police station nearby. But it's much better than living above a busy street, or above a bar in Brooklyn. I'm more of a homebody that doesn't walk around a lot, but the times I have, I've had some weird interactions out on the street. Nothing too crazy, but there have been certain times where I haven't felt safe, like I was walking alone (as a woman) and this guy pulled over in his van to cat call me in broad daylight. I feel like that was a pretty isolated incident. Essentially, MRK is a really nice building in an area that's in the process of being gentrified (like a lot of areas around NY). It sticks out next to the houses literally right next to it. Overall, I like living here, and no, leasing is not trying to scam you lol Stay safe!

MRK has been great all the way from leasing, move-in to living here. They had a great promotion with one month free rent and provided movers for our move. The building is brand new and very well maintained. The staff is friendly and attentive. We had an incident due to our error which caused damage and the staff was co-operative to resolve the issue. The amenities are top notch with multiple lounges, work areas and a well equipped gym. During the summers they organize roof-top events with happy hour and live music with great views of the city. There is a coffee shop (Clo Coffee) on the first floor. Overall, the best to live in the Journal Square area, steps away from the PATH. I'd highly recommend MRK to anyone looking to move to this area.

Lived in the building for a year. I paid a fee with a third party guarantor company to get approved. There were hiccups with initial negotiations and an issue with the shower in the unit, but management has made efforts to provide solutions in a respectful and generally responsive manner. They arranged packing and moving services for me to move to another unit. It took a while for the building's finishing touches, but it was generally nice and they offer a lot of amenities. Utilities were also really cheap compared to NY. Since there was no pet fee when I was there, there were a lot of new pet owners who did not know how to train their dogs not to bark all day, everyday. The hallways and units do echo, so if you’re across the elevator or have noisy neighbors, you’ll for sure hear sounds. The windows are well insulated but the doors and walls less so.

Feels like management here is always aiming to improve. I lived there for over a year and noticed an improvement in front desk staffing and amenities and events. Rebecca from management is always on top of things and quick to respond, friendly and professional (thank you Rebecca!). Rent is slightly pricy, however, living here is a great option if you're young/ working remotely/ feeling isolated and want a place to rub shoulders with tenants and other professionals. Rent includes access to gym, classes, wifi, and rooftop with gas bbq and views overlooking manhattan.

This apartment was love at first sight for my partner and I. The views, the amenities, the work space, and beautiful units made the decision to move here so easy. This is my first apartment on my own and Christina and Rebecca made the transition extremely smooth and seamless. I wish I could rate it 5 stars, but the only downfall is the parking. With the parking restrictions on the street and expensive parking lots i'm afraid it'll get expensive to have our cars. However, regardless of that one thing this apartment is a gem!

I just moved to MRK. This is an awesome place to live. Great amenities that too for no extra cost. Apartments are bright, sunny and specious. Moving in was a great experience and smooth. Everybody were very helpful. Finally, shout-out to Rebecca and Christina for helping us out through the whole process. A much needed addition to the jsq luxury apartments scene.

Feeling at home in a multi-family building can sometimes be difficult but, our family feels very much at home at MRK. The entire staff is professional, responsive and helpful at every turn. Even though we are (a little) older than most residents everyone is friendly and welcoming. The maintenance staff in particular are very diligent and happy to help repair things. For us, it has been a very good experience at MRK. We can sometimes hear dogs barking but all in all we find it very quiet here, especially relative to our last place where we were on a busy road downtown. The finishes in the apartment are well composed and durable. Thumbs up.

My husband and I recently moved into these apartments and let me just say AMAZING!!! Everything from the views to the atmosphere has us feeling like we are in a air bnb! We originally had another place in mind but as soon as we saw these apartments it was a no brainer. Christina was so helpful, so responsive and literally made this process a breeze. She did that! The building, the apartment, the amenities are worth every penny!!! Everyone thus far has been exceptionally accommodating and as a plus the building is PET friendly ( a major plus) We were concerned because there is no parking for residents but we have been finding street parking with no issues so far. We are very picky when it comes to living spaces but MRK really set the bar. Close to everything PATH, Post Office, 4 mins away from the Holland Tunnel so we get to work with no hassle. I love it here!!

From submitting the application to move-in the cmpnd and MRK team have helped to make it a great experience. They were speedy with any inquiries and follow-ups we had, and were accommodating to our move-in timeline. Our move altogether was very smooth since the front desk has multiple trolleys for us to use, and the elevators were big enough to even fit our couch! We've been enjoying the amenities (gym, yoga room, and rooftop) which are usually never crowded. The apartment itself has great appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher) and the floor to ceiling windows are a big plus! But what drew us in was how close the proximity the building was to the PATH station. The amenities, quality of the in-unit appliances, and convenience makes MRK an overall great choice to live in.
