  We had an outstanding experience working with Yantez at The Beacon! From our very first tour, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. We visited the property multiple times because we were looking for a very specific layout—a spacious one-bedroom with a patio—and she never rushed us or pressured us into making a decision. Instead, she took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect apartment. She also gave us a thorough tour of the community, explaining all the amenities, the shuttle service, gym, parking options, and answered every question we had with great detail. Even after we decided on our apartment, she continued to be responsive and helped us secure a parking space in the garage, making the entire move-in process much smoother. Apartment hunting can be stressful, but Yantez made it a genuinely enjoyable experience. Her professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to helping residents stand out. If you’re considering The Beacon, I highly recommend asking for Yantez. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure you find the right home. Thank you again, Yantez, for all your help!

  Horrible my daughter’s apartment flooded and water kept coming down the ceiling and walls. They changed her to a different apartment but still wanted to charge her a ridiculous amount for moving you can check for Tiffany Besosa’s review.

  I have never encountered a resident service team that is so incapable of helping their residents. It took 3+ weeks to get a new key to my apartment when we were told it was ready to be picked up. The building will put a sticker on your car that leaves paper stuck to it saying you are parked illegally even if you pay each month. The shuttle is a failure, point blank. If you are looking for an apartment in Jersey City, stay clear of the Beacon. There is no urgency with any issues you bring to management and it seems that the goal of resident services is to do anything but help you.

  Lived here for 2 years. Terrible experience across the board… The shuttle is never on time, broken down, not enough drivers, etc. it’s horrible. The package pickup system is atrocious. The staff can not figure out how to organize the packages and constantly lose them, and give attitude while telling you it’s “not there” The fire alarms in our building are constantly going off, either due to tenants being dumb or faulty system. Either way it’s constant. Our next door neighbor was a nightmare, we complained to the building that something was off about it (constant flow of strangers in and out at late hour, yelling at night, banging, obvious drug usage ) and they said sorry cant help you unless you file a complaint formally, which would’ve made things terrible for us because they were our only neighbor. Would’ve been obvious to them we complained about them. The gyms equipment is completely falling apart and nothing is done to repair it in the 2 years I’ve been here. There’s a key fob system to supposedly keep people who aren’t residents out, but you will be harassed by DoorDash drivers waiting at the gate constantly because the person who ordered the food isn’t coming down to retrieve it. Nobody picks up any dog poop on the property. The community grill in our building had either an empty lighter or empty gas tank all the time. Making that useless. I had my car broken into twice while living here (street parked right behind the building I lived in) and my car was within view of a camera operated by the security team at the beacon. Twice I reached out to see if they could pull footage of the incident for me to provide insurance, and twice they ignored me. The only good thing about living here is the maintenance staff. Upon mentioning broken items in our unit they were attentive. Absolutely would not recommend under any circumstances
