I do not typically write reviews, but I think this one is definitely worth pointing out. I don't have much issue with the actual apartments, they are quite nice but are expensive. I did, however, have an issue with the apartment complex management and how they handled hurricane Ida.
I partly blame myself a bit for not understanding the location of this apartment and its impact, but essentially the garage was completely flooded and all cars within it were totaled (including mine). No email was sent by the complex to give warning that the area tends to flood with heavy rainfall (this was not the

The worst building in New Brunswick please save yourself the headache and do not move here. Does not care about their residents doesn’t keep up with the place and every little thing is about money to them

We have lived at Plaza Square for almost 3 years and really love it! The leasing office staff are great and very helpful. The maintenance team especially Kingsley and the tall gentleman with dark hair and glasses are extremely diligent and go out of their way to assist with any issues we have.
The only downside has to do with the recent incessant theft of items and foods ordered by residents. I think Plaza Square needs to do a better of addressing this problem - either through procurement of additional concierge system on each floor or by employing someone to manage the package system.

Great building, outstanding staff and community! Very dog friendly. Love the calendar of food trucks. Implemented a Conceirge package pickup service that notifies resident of parcel deliveries. Pool, gym, dog park, and entertainment lounges amenities are second to none!

We had the most incredible experience touring this community with Henry! He listened to our needs, helped us select the perfect unit with a layout we loved, and did it all with a smile. Henry is genuine, thoughtful, and so patient. He is a huge part of why we chose to live here--he truly made it possible for us to envision ourselves living there. He went above and beyond to make sure we loved the space, even taking us outside and around the building to make sure the noise levels worked for us. I am so thrilled to be moving here and can't thank Henry enough for his time, expertise, and positive

My partner and I moved here from NYC during the pandemic and it was the best decision we made. I LOVE this place. From our spacious and beautiful apartment to the facilities to the management, everything about Plaza Square is wonderful.
As a result of the pandemic, many amenities (gym, pool, lounge) were restricted but accessible nonetheless. It actually meant a lot that management cared so much for the health and safety of its residents and did their best to accommodate everyone's need for leisure and exercise safely.
I love that Plaza Square has many unique layouts for its apartments, and

We’ve lived here for almost two years and have to say this is one of the best places we’ve ever lived at. From the plethora of amenities to the expeditious maintenance service, there is not much more we could ask for. Thanks to Angela for her highly welcoming presence; we really appreciate the extra step she always takes. The rest of the staff is very friendly to work with as well!

My boyfriend and I relocated to New Brunswick from South Jersey. Not knowing much about the area we searched for rental properties. We found Plaza Square and fell in love! Henry has been our go to person from the start. He has been super helpful, has gone above and beyond answering questions, let us tour the property multiple times, and made us instantly feel at home. The apartments have amazing natural light, are spacious, and have a lot of storage! The community amenities are also a great added bonus. I am so happy we made Plaza Square our new home.

I've lived in three different apartments here, since moving from Monroe
The location is the perfect one for wherever you want to go

Since safety is a priority for me and as it is for many more
The private garage under the building is something I adore

Among the many amenities, I have a favorite one or two
Like the nicely decorated lounge
In which
you can entertain a crew

And when it comes to summertime I lounge around the pool
Taking a swim on those scorching

We went for a tour of the apartments and were very pleased with our experience. Our leasing agent Henry was incredibly kind, welcoming, and warm. We were so lucky to be shown apartments by such a passionate and informative person.
P.S. We hope your pineapple upside down cake turned out well:)

I want to add that they have continued to be passive aggressive management. I was scheduled to get a dog in a month so I started to order supplies from chewy. They immediately asked about my packages coming in in a rush to charge me a pet rent when I didn't even have a pet yet. Not only was this a breech of privacy (who asks ppl about their packages) it made me feel extremely uncomfortable and made them look greedy.

Not to mention the little additions to my rent I've NEVER had to pay before. A trash fee? Water fee when they said water was included on my tour?

Irresponsible staff, rude attitude, unreasonable charges, unsafe environment, I have a car stolen from a paid parking space, yet their staff does not allow us to check the monitoring, even if call the police also not allowed to check the monitoring, as long as it does not affect their interests, they will not answer you anything.

We have been living this location for little over 4 years. The service is great, best gym by far for apartments in the area, the amenities are the best for the price. The pool and multiple gas grills in the pool area are all maintained well. The maintenice service is typically done on the same day it is requestedand their follow up is top notch. The main downtown area for New Brunswick is one block away and it takes 8 minutes to walk to the Amtrac and NE Corridor NJ Train station. Using route 18 to routes 1, 287, turnpike or garden state parkway is quick and simple to access. The property manager

Unprofessional and rude staff working at the leasing office. Not a great experience, would recommend researching the other apartment buildings around here that are newer and similar in price if you're looking to live in this area of New Brunswick.

Awesome place to live. My fiancé and I moved in 4 months ago, and from day 1 we couldn't have asked for a better experience from management and maintenance staff. Any issues or concerns we have had, have been addressed timely and satisfactory.

Overall, I really enjoy residing at this apartment complex. As with most apartments there could be some changes based on personal preferences. There are also some things that are just annoying and should be fixed. I'll start with the positives. I really feel safe at the complex. They have a courtesy officer present most of the time. I also love the gym, business center, and lounge area (huge selling points)! The atmosphere of the apartments are nice with wood floors and marble looking countertops. I love my balcony that is tucked away, even though it overlooks the highway. Personal preferences

The Plaza Square is an absolutely awesome place to live! We have only been living here for about 5 months now but we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. The surrounding area is gorgeous and I always feel safe-- especially because our parking lot is monitored by a security guard. You get so many luxury amenities here for a very decent price. The pool is such a great thing to have during the summer months and during the winter you can come inside and stay warm in the sauna! Also, the leasing office staff is so friendly and helpful and are always willing to answer any questions we have

This is a great location and complex for professionals and those seeking a "sunburn" lifestyle without actually living in the burbs. Stores, restaurants, etc. are a quick car ride, or you can walk to George street and have several entertainment options to chose from.

The summer is the best time here as I'm a pool person and the pool area is nice and relaxing, plus the provided grills are a bonus. The jacuzzi works when it wants to, however.

Overall, great complex and staff. Amenities are nice, and sometimes overshadow the costs of living here HA!

Hope this helps!

I've lived here for over a year and really enjoy the complex.
The renovated apartments are beautiful and I love the package concierge system, gym, and pool amenities. The management staff are all very responsive to our needs. It's a 10 minute walk to NJ Transit, which makes the complex very convenient for my commute to the city each day.

Has gone downhill. Main problem is lack of supervision on weekend evenings around the complex and in the stairwells. Too much noise in main courtyard, which is used often as a "hang out." People get drunk and sometimes the vomit smell and mess (drink spills on the stairs) are not taken care of until Monday morning. Noise level at night needs to be much better enforced. Used to be better for families.

Second Update 3 Years In:
The management company has changed, and I'm less happy with the complex. The worst change was that they fired the two concierges I raved about below and installed a robotic system called Package Concierge. The staff who remain are good, but those guys and the service they provided were the heart of the community and it was disheartening to see them literally replaced (and ineffectively so) by a machine. The rent goes up every year, to the point that we are now having to consider moving because it's just not financially feasible to stay, though the rent was reasonable

We stopped in today to inquire about an apartment. The staff(appeared to be a manager) was unwelcoming and "snapped" at us about where we parked. Directed us to park on the street. When my husband drove around for several minutes, she was annoyed and not helpful. It is amazing the impact employees can have on the company and the brand. Thanks to her, Plaza Squared lost a customer.

Compared to the other luxury apartment buildings in New Brunswick, plaza square gives you the most bang for your buck. There is a nominal yearly amenity fee but in my eyes it's totally worth it: one of the best apartment gyms I've seen complete with a large yoga studio, a very nice club room that was recently renovated (includes a kitchen, bar seating, flat screens, pool table, shuffle board, pac man and a media room off to the side), a really nice outdoor pool with new built in grills, and a conference room and computer room with a printer.

The concierge is always very nice and helpful

I've been a resident of the Highlands at Plaza Square for 5 + years now. Highlands offers nice amenities for its residents, such as a pool for use in the summertime, a small "health club", with a few cardio machines and weights, a computer room (the printer never has paper) and a lounge room complete with large flat screen TV & pool tables (however, its tough to play pool when college kids steal the cues).

Recently, the Highlands has been taken over by a new management company called Riverstone Residential Group, and the name has been shortened to "Plaza Square". Now
