Vermella Harrison Apartments

Vermella Harrison has multiple mechanical and safety issues. You'd do better looking at other complexes in the area.

Example: over Christmas weekend, at least 10 apartments were flooded by burst pipes. Management blames this on residents, saying we don't keep our heat high enough to warm the UNINSULATED closets on our balconies that contain our furnaces. Apparently they didn't know it gets cold in New Jersey in winter.

Management had the temerity to claim - the morning after the weekend - that... they had been unaware of the issues and the damages done to our apartments.

Maintenance did their best to stop the floods and the damage. Now there is need for professional mold and mildew remediation and that should happen within days of water damage.

When you manage a building with 500 residents, you cannot do that from 9 a.m to 5pm Monday through Friday.

Add to this the fact that there is zero security in the building and then take your chances if this siuation appeals to you. Read More

Honestly, I used to love living here. The building is still amazing and I love all the amenities but management has changed. They simply don’t care about the residents anymore. When I first got here I felt like I was part of a family. Now I’m just another number on a dry erase board. I promise the second you sign that lease you won’t matter even if their failure to address basic things in the building makes you miserable. Whether it’s a loud obnoxious neighbor, music blasting at 2am, people... above you stomping around all night or just about anything that people dread about an apartment they still won’t address it. I wouldn’t think that I am unreasonable either. I’m talking about excessive things. This is something they used to resolve very quickly but now you’re lucky if you even get a call back to give some lame excuse why there’s nothing they can do. I would not recommend until they change management Read More

Unsafe.
I was threatened by someone while riding the elevator.

Noise.
Noise through the walls, from the hall, from upstairs, from downstairs, from the court yard, the air unit is very loud, it's a cheaply made building.

Unresponsive leasing staff.
Send emails with no response. Submit request online with no response. Ask for info on the phone and they say they will call you back but don't.

No hot water for days.
During the winter months the hot water would go out for days on end.

Dirty... smelly hallways.
Dog poop in the hallways. Trash bags and dirty old shoes in front of apartment doors. The carpets are stained. The floors are warped. Hallways smell awful in the evening (mix of food odors).

Vermella Harrison is not an average community providing average amenities. Here you get more than what you are paying for in terms of service and experience. We checked quite a few rental properties in Harrison, NJ and it would be safe to say that this place is the best. We would and have recommended this place to many of our friends and they are currently our neighbours. Its just 2 minutes from the Harrison, PATH station. About 10 mins to Walmart and 15mins to Jersey City... making it the... perfect location to settle down and call HOME. We have been here for close to a year now and for anyone who reads reviews before renting, ensure that you choose the right view when looking out the window. There is no sound issues from the Red Bulls Arena side which is right opposite the community, so maybe you want to look at that side first. There is currently construction going on at the Crucible Dr side, once that gets done, this is also a good option. The entire house is well lit as the sun moves about right over the window on the crucible dr side. To add - their gym is HUGE and can easily be compared to a professional one, they have every equipment one can think of and a yoga or pilates room (with a virtual training app like the listing mentions).
