Our Top Six in New Brunswick

By now everyone in New Jersey is aware that New Brunswick is the state’s fast growing urban center. Fueled by explosive economic development, the proximity of Rutgers University, and the proliferation of large medical centers, New Brunswick faces constant demand for excellent housing. To meet the demand, apartment complexes fill every nook and cranny in New Brunswick, providing many options for an appreciative customer base. Indeed, from Millennials to retiring Baby Boomers, singles to larger families, New Brunswick’s apartment scene offers something for everybody. Amid this crowded field of offerings, consumers can choose from a variety of layouts, settings, amenities, and price points. But which complex is the star among the group? We think we have an answer. Read on to discover our top six options for apartment living in New Brunswick. One property distinguishes itself as the best.

Our first stop among the contenders is the Quincy. Offering studio apartments on the small end to 1200+ square foot 2-bedroom spaces on the high end, the Quincy has the amenities today’s consumers expect. Convenient parking, a fitness center, and Java Lounge keep busy commuters energized and mobile so they can handle the expectations of kinetic lifestyles that seek to balance work, play, and self-care. The Quincy is at the bottom of our rankings at number six.

In the fifth position in our top six is The Vue, an established property located in the heart of New Brunswick. Boasting excellent downtown and river views, The Vue features 1 and 2-bedroom apartments with nicely appointed interiors that include quartz countertops in the kitchen. Like all the properties in our listing, The Vue’s apartments are customizable; consumers are encouraged to imagine the possibilities for their space. Close to commuter rail stations, The Vue also pleases consumers with a resident lounge, fitness center, and onsite parking. Residents also have the option of upgrading their storage options. The Vue is a worthy number five in our top six.

In fourth place, we turn the Residences at Heldrich, commonly called the Heldrich Condos. Part of a mixed-used project that includes a conference center, restaurants, and a 250-room hotel, the Residences at Heldrich are an ideal property for consumers who desire to be in the middle of the action of downtown New Brunswick. An inhouse spa, fitness center, and well-appointed meeting areas enhance an already strong property. Bars and nightclubs in the area are appreciated by residents who prefer to “burn the midnight oil.” Our fourth-place property is a great option for a large section of the consumer base.

The third slot belongs to One Spring Street, an attractive property near Rutgers University and the Raritan River. From charming 1-bedroom models to a 1700+ square foot 3-bedroom model, The One features convenience, lovely views, and all the amenities consumers expect in a modern apartment complex. We especially like the indoor pool, top floor sundeck, and access to the River Walk. The One may be an especially good fit for larger families who need space to spread-out and accommodate a lot of household furnishings. Congratulations on number three.

Coming in at a respectable second place position is the attractive Plaza Square Apartments. Offering 1, 2, and 3-bedroom configurations, Plaza Square is a gem for those seeking an assortment of amenities. Close to downtown New Brunswick, Plaza Square offers an outdoor pool, dog run, resident lounge, and health and fitness studio. For busy commuters, a valet dry cleaning service is available, eliminating one hassle from a busy day. Near commuter rail stations, our number two property works well for commuters making the daily run to Manhattan.

In the top slot, by a healthy margin, is The Aspire located on Somerset in New Brunswick’s core. What makes The Aspire rise above the rest? Attention to detail. The studio, 1, and 2-bedroom apartments feature beautiful hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and quartz countertops. For those who want a daily dose of fresh air, balcony units are available. In addition to standard amenities like a modern fitness center, and onsite parking, The Aspire also features two rooftop green areas, a library, and a resident clubhouse for small gatherings and large celebrations. Pet friendly and convenient for pedestrians and bicyclists, The Aspire is steps from New Jersey Transit and its fast routes to Manhattan. Restaurants, bars, and entertainment opportunities are steps away from our top ranked property.

So, there you have it. In the middle of New Brunswick’s transformational, economic boom, we fine six apartment communities that consistently deliver amenities and value to a diverse consumer portfolio. In a crowded list at the top, The Aspire is the clear winner. A perfect combination of convenience, value, amenities and attention to detail keep the property filled.
