Iron65

I’ve lived here for a few months now and while the apartments inside are beautiful, the building itself has flaws.

Firstly, the key fobs only work on one of the 3 external doors, making it quite annoying to gain entry to the building. Secondly, there is only a concierge from 3pm onwards every day, even though we were told there would be 24 hour concierge.

Lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the spa system is a total mess. You have to BOOK the sauna in advance and then hope the super actually turns... it on for you (which he usually doesn’t), and at the weekends this is done by the door man, so obviously it can’t be used until after 3pm. Overall this building has so much potential but has so many flaws right now for me to give it a good review. It gets 2 stars instead of 1 because the apartments internally are beautiful. Lee mas

I was nervous that a modern apartment would feel cold, but my unit at Iron65 feels warm and livable. The finishes are minimal but not sterile, the lighting is soft, and there’s real character in the layout. It’s one of the rare new buildings that feels like it was designed for real people, not Instagram photos.

I toured a bunch of “modern apartments” in Newark and most felt sterile. Iron65 nails the balance—clean, sleek finishes with character. The floor-to-ceiling windows in my unit show off an amazing skyline view, and the open-concept layout makes it feel bigger than it is. It’s functional and beautiful.

Good property management makes a huge difference. Iron65 is always clean, issues get handled fast, and the front desk staff are actual humans—not just warm bodies sitting at a counter. It makes the whole building feel taken care of. I’ve lived in “luxury buildings” before that were chaos behind the scenes—this isn’t one of them.

What stood out at Iron65 was the consistency—cleanliness, quiet, professionalism. Every part of the experience feels intentional. Even the mailroom works smoothly (which is rare). It’s one of the best-maintained modern rentals I’ve seen in Newark.
