Reply to comment by bodhipooh in Please help! - Looking for input on a 2br/2ba apartment in Jersey City by muchD

I meant it was the newest one out of all of the ones that he listed, which it is. I did not even realize they opened so close together.... I guess Vantage just feels newer and nicer to me, I don't know. 65 Bay is not impressive to me.

I was mostly thrown off by the line "I'm not really sure how they can possibly compare" considering they are actually quite close together in age, and not all that different overall. But, agreed that the Vantage is definitely a different aesthetic/vibe. Both are good buildings, in my opinion. But the location of Vantage was a dealbreaker for us. We ended up choosing 65 Bay and happy here at the moment. My only quibble/complaint are minor things that others wouldn't care about: the cabinets could/should be nicer, the floors are 100% crap (wood laminate?) and the main bathroom has a single sink. We used to have dual sinks and I miss that. Great kitchen and unbeatable view, plus the location is convenient to both PATH lines.

Totally! We lived at DVORA ArtHose for a long time, and loved it. Never had an issue with management, but they get slammed all the time, so definitely experiences vary widely, and I think housing can be particularly personal and unique based on combination of factors and priorities.
