Reviews from the web

Showing 8 highest rated

Absolutely loved living here! Some of the best people I’ve ever met! From Peter, Pablo, Christine, and Antonio at the front desk, to Will at Maintenance, it’s been super nice to know everyone and live here. Management has changed a bit and some of the changes are not for the better, but the people I see day to day have made this experience so pleasant and nice!

My husband and I have been living in the Madox building in Jersey City for about 2 and a half years and have truly enjoyed our experience here. Not only is the building and its amenities kept up extremely well but the staff is incredibly lovely and make living here a much more personalized experience. From the 24 hour concierge team that always welcomes you with a big smile, maintanence staff that works so hard to keep the building at its best, and the office staff that’s dedicated to organizing events and perks for residents the Madox is a top notch building! I would recommend the building to anyone with a family or a pet as well as working professionals commuting to Manhattan.
