Real Estate::Is 75 Liberty Avenue in Journal Square safe/fun for 20 somethings
I lived there for two years. The units are quite nice and the building has a year-round pool, exercise room, and jacuzzi. There is a small green space. Some units on the lower floor have their own small terraces. Some upper units have balconies and some lovely views as well. Units have their own washers/dryers. It is a short walk to the PATH and Little India is two blocks away. The parking is interesting if you have to park on the roof - you drive into an elevator which takes a bit of getting used to. When I was there, the building was well managed and maintained. I never had an issue with safety - compared to my home in the Heights, I felt much safer in Journal Square.
The biggest downside is the noise. If you have your windows closed, you're fine. But you're right on Charlotte Circle and it gets incredibly noisy, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. The dust is incredible as well as the smell of car fumes.
If you're buying, watch the units with sliding doors that open to a patio or terrace. Make sure they are brand new. Some units were not fitted correctly and the amount of draft in the winter makes it very uncomfortable.
