Excelsior II

We have lived here for 16 years. Never once did the thought of moving cross our minds. The staff is friendly and efficient. (Most were already here before us.)The building is always immaculate. Management is on the premises. We have a restaurant, gym, and upscale vending machines. If I didn’t have to, I’d never leave the building.
In short, 170 Prospect has a sense of community. People live and work here for a long time. It’s nice to come to home to.

I have truly enjoyed living at this apartment complex and can honestly say it has been a very positive experience. From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The property is always clean, beautifully maintained, and has a peaceful, safe atmosphere that makes it feel like home.

One of the best things about living here is the outstanding management and maintenance staff. They are always professional, courteous, and genuinely care about the residents. Any questions or maintenance... requests are handled quickly and efficiently, which is greatly appreciated. It is clear that they work hard to keep the community running smoothly.

The grounds and common areas are kept in excellent condition year-round. I especially appreciate the landscaping, lighting, and overall appearance of the property. The amenities are well-maintained and add so much convenience and enjoyment to everyday living.

The neighbors are friendly and respectful, creating a warm community atmosphere. It is quiet, comfortable, and a wonderful place to come home to after a busy day. The location is also a huge advantage, with easy access to shopping, restaurants, transportation, and other conveniences nearby.

What stands out most is the sense of care and pride throughout the entire complex. It is not just an apartment — it truly feels like a community where residents matter. I would highly recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking for a clean, safe, and welcoming place to live. I am very happy to call this place home. Read More

We're relatively new residents, but so far, we have loved living here! They just built a small 24hr gym free to use which has been great! My husband no longer has any excuse on why he can't work out. Jennifer, the property manager, gets things done. There has never been any delays in getting paperwork completed and no flakiness. Tasks just get done quickly and I appreciate the efficiency and reliability!

1.) The space. All the new "luxury" apartments that they're building around Hackensack... were more expensive for 2/3 the space. We have massive furniture (king bed, full dresser set, large sectional couch) which fit easily into our apartment w/ room to spare.

2.) I actually like that it's an older apartment. It's more sturdily built and I cannot hear noise from adjacent apartments. The new apartments we visited had thing walls and shoddy outlets. I also like that the apartment is cooled/heated by wall units. I like having control over which rooms I regulate while still being conscientious of my energy bill.

3.) I am a huge rule follower, so the I actually appreciate the strict emails and enforcement of their policies. I do not want my living space smelling like weed, or random people parking in assigned spot, and I am glad that management considers the living experience of ALL the tenants.

4.) So far, absolutely NO PESTS! I am terrified of roaches and will die if I see one in my apartment, so I am glad that has not been an issue!

5.) Laundry is shared, but there are two washers/dryers per floor. They are almost always available, and it uses an app which makes it easy to load money onto my account. No quarters. They're also commercial sized so large loads and blankets have not been an issue.

One thing to note is that if your apartment faces Prospect Ave, it can be a little noisy, so if you're sensitive to noise that might be something to consider, but we adjusted pretty quickly and it has not been a problem for us!

Overall, we've had a great experience living here!

I have been living here for almost 10 years.

Excelsior II has an experienced and knowledgeable management office. The staff is friendly and helpful. The building staff from dormancy to security are always vigilant, available and cooperative. The neighbors know each other and pretty much everyone is friendly & caring.
Is a very peaceful existence.

I don’t hand out 5 stars easily… so this 4-star review says a lot. LOL

From the very first tour with Sherri, my experience at The Excelsior Two Apartments has been warm, welcoming, and professional. She was personable, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every detail — from the renovation plans to what living here would truly feel like.

One thing I absolutely LOVE is the space. As someone who wanted room to breathe, The Excelsior definitely delivered. Finding a 2-bedroom, 2-bath... apartment with over 1,500 square feet in this area is almost unheard of. Honestly, our apartment is bigger than some of my friends’ homes.

The concierge staff deserves a special shoutout — Roy, Furhman, and Latif are hands-down my favorites. Always friendly, accommodating, and genuinely pleasant every single day. The management team also has an open-door policy that makes you feel heard, and anytime there’s an issue, they address it quickly.

Victor, the super, is amazing and always willing to help whenever he can. Jen and Rocco bring such a down-to-earth, welcoming energy to the office — they make the building feel less corporate and more like community.

As a city girl, I appreciate the laid-back atmosphere here. What really surprised me most is how friendly the neighbors are. People actually greet you in the elevator or say hello in passing, which gives the building a little bit of that Southern charm feeling that’s rare to find in NJ apartment living.

Overall, The Excelsior Two has truly felt like home, and that says everything. Read More
