Apex Hudson Riverfront Apartments

I have lived here for 4 years. If I were in a position to leave this place earlier, I would have. Every bad thing you have read about in other reviews for this apartment is absolutely true. I do not feel safe living here, there is no security, the building is unkept, filthy, and probably violating some type of hygiene laws, management sucks. And for the most part, management will do whatever in their power to make you believe that living here is amazing when you are a prospective tenant. The... application process will be relatively smooth and everything you hear about the building and see on the tour will be roses and butterflies while they are attempting to get you to sign that lease. I can go on and on with all of the legitimate problems with this building but I did want to highlight one particular issue that has affected multiple residents including myself which still remains unaddressed to this day despite numerous maintenance requests and emails to management. Management did not maintain the grills on the second floor courtyard areas. At some point, someone finally decided to do some type of haphazard "clean" of the grills, which were infested with centipedes. The centipedes then needed a new place to go, and so they proceeded to go into the hallways and eventually make their way into units, including my own. They are all over the floor within my unit, then one Saturday morning I found one crawling up my wall, inside of my unit. One morning as I was walking through my kitchen I stepped on one with my BARE FEET. I have sent numerous maintenance requests about this issue, as well as emails directly to management, but the issue still persists. The amount of centipedes aren't one here, one there. I have had to kill at least 2 centipedes inside of my apartment every.single.day. and within the hallways in the apartment there's approximately 15-20 crawling around at a time all along the floor. Management has not reached out in any way to attempt to resolve this crisis nor have they issued any type of communication as to how they are going to address it. This infestation makes it extremely uncomfortable to relax in my own home, and it is truly disgusting to constantly see centipedes in the hallways and crawling up the walls. Management has done absolutely nothing but send people to clean the dead centipedes from the main hallways but not actually address the root issue. Therefore, the centipedes continue to come back week after week. Read More

Yes, Apex is in a gorgeous location. However, Apex is a nightmare. There are tons of other apartment buildings right along the water that are better choices. DO NOT RENT HERE.

I had issues from move-in day to move-out day.

Building has terrible management. It’s advertised as a “luxury building” which you’re definitely paying for, however it is the furthest thing from it.

Rent increases randomly. Their billing system makes no sense and you will not know what you’re paying for.

It took... weeks for maintenance requests. The building is disgusting and dirty. There is essentially no security.

I am having trouble getting my full security deposit back. In NY state, the security deposit must be returned within 14 days. Mine was not. They are also supposed to give you an itemized list of any deductions from the deposit. They literally gave me a sheet of paper with random charges on it, with no date ranges, and no explanation to figure out what it means. I’ve spoken with multiple former tenants who had the same issue.


Look at all of the reviews saying the exact same thing. DONT MOVE HERE because by the time you realize how awful they are, you’ll be stuck in a lease.

The garbage is disgusting and smells. property management will ignore your calls and emails. They will tell you you will get a refund and never do. What a headache.

you will not get luxury living if you move here. Management practices in a very sleazy manner. If you have any issues they will sooner ignore you than fix/resolve it. Read the reviews, the long overly positive ones are definitely written by staff.

Living in Apex ended up in a nightmare, as I was out of the country my car was vandalized in the building parking that I paid for monthly. The garage has no cameras, they would not release any footage of the cameras entering the garage without police present despite being a tenant for 24 months. I asked to be let out of my lease two weeks before because I am scared of my safety although I gave a proper 60 day notice and they made me pay the entire month not taking in to consideration the... expenses I incurred such as a car rental while they fix my vehicle, a deductible because my car was not safe in the building I live in. Apex and Corporate JRK takes 0 accountability and simply does not care. We were not asking to stay there for free or for the expenses that we incurred due to our vehicle being vandalized to be paid, all we wanted was to leave as soon as we could (2 weeks before our official lease date) because we were scared for our safety but $1800 is more important to them. The management doesn't care and corporate cares even less. In fact we emailed corporate 4 times before we received a response and as I waited for their response which I never received until I followed up with them again they charged me a late fee for not paying my rent by the 5th of the month. The management is terrible, there is ALWAYS new staff, they do not respond to your emails, the rugs in the hallways and rugs are dirty and never cleaned or replaced. Money is their only concern, they do not care about your safety or what happens to your property while living there. I will never live in any Apex or JRK building and I do not recommend anyone does.
