    Experience was very easy. Building is very quiet and peaceful. The staff is always resposive. The only thing is i would have liked a checklist of all of the subscriptions that are required.

    I've lived at Dvora for four months, as my first residency in New Jersey. The staff (doormen) are always so welcoming and pleasant - they greet everyone that enters the building and know the residences by name. Its a very welcoming complex. The only negative is that that the leasing office is impossible to get a hold of. They don't have a direct number or email, which makes it complicated to resolve issues.

    5/5 Tahirra S. on Dec 1, 2019

    excellent super- extremely nice, helpful and always ready to help in anyway and take care of everything one needs- all buildings need to have a super like him - thanks Ricardo for doing such a great job!
