It was great service performed. Although we need to have a better service in packaging room and sign up for Luxer. I still need to set up my account at Luxer and Gym. It will be helpful if you have provided a check list onboarding when we are moving here.

    Good location with good price. But my room has poor heating system, window always have drafts. Had asked maintenance staff come to fix more than four times, and the issue persists. It's freezing cold during winter even with AC turned on almost 24 hours. And it comes with expensive electricity bill as price.

      With thousands of apartments in any community you will find your share of problems and complains. However, I want to highlight the great things that differential columbus towers from other JC rental communities. You're 3 minutes from door to grove street path train platform. Base gym membership makes you belong to a real gym not an "apartment" gym. The very spacious pool and grill areas in the summer gives you something great to look forward to in the cold winter month. These things can't exactly be replicated by the many other building in the area but columbus towers has it for your convenience and enjoyment.

        Small bedrooms and the higher the level is the window is more easily to have cracks. But the community over all is ok. The view is not bad so if you don't care about money and space only care convenience to the path station you could live here

          70 Columbus is a great place to live in my experience. Though the rent is pretty expensive, it's worth it for the location, amenities, and community. The folks here are friendly and the office staff is generally really helpful. My only "complaint" if you can call it that is that my microwave is too loud, and they can't fix it but not for a lack of trying. Overall it's a 5 of 5 experience from what I've seen so far.

            This is a friendly and very safe community to live. It is one of the most convenient community around the subway stations. The amenities include outdoor pools and BBQ stations in the summer, and all year long basketball court and ping pong tables on the 8th floor. The gym down below the building is awesome too.

              Great experience leaving here, but the AC fee is very high during the winter compared with other buildings. And in the summer, AC smells bed after rain, it shouldn't charge us for cleaning it. The over all is great so we want to renew our lease

                          The location, price, and quality are excellent for this area. It's conveniently located near PATH, many restaurants, and a gym which is included in the amenities. It has a modern design, the elevators are fast, and maintenance is timely and friendly. I highly recommend it!

                              Building is well maintained, there are plenty of amenities and the commute to midtown/downtown Manhattan is very easy. Those reasons make this a great place to live for the price; however, if rents continue to increase to over $3k for a 1BR, the building begins to lose some appeal. Studio rents become pretty comparable for similar buildings in NYC.

                                              Overall I would say it's good. The community is quiet, a lot of new amenities (part of the reason is that the amenities are shared by 3 buildings 50, 70, 90 so it's more various). NJ Path is just 1-minute walk and restaurants are near the building. Staff are nice too.

                                                Overall my experience has been awesome pretty much due to the attentive and affable concierge/ safety personnel in my building. The location of the property is what makes it extremely desirable and pleasant.
