Lotus 315

Lotus 315 was a roller coaster from the start and I agree with the other 1 star reviews from my initial experience. However, I'm finally seeing some really positive changes in the management and the owner over the past several weeks that is bringing this closer to the luxury residence I signed up for.

I'm happy! Things are really turning around, hope they keep the momentum going.

I'm a resident at UMDNJ and the commute is perfect for me. I just moved in a couple of weeks ago and am liking the people and building... don't know enough to give them 5 stars but looking good so far

I just moved into my apartment and I love it! I'm not easy to please and have several demands when renting but everyone was very helpful and pleasant. I'm new to the area and the staff recommended some great restaurants nearby and directed me to the local grocery stores. Thank you!!

My ceiling started leaking around October and Lotus couldn't/wouldn't fix it. It was a big leak, and I have no doubt there will be mold over time. I found a dead mouse in my apartment, my poor neighbor had a huge mouse problem in her apartment. My closet collapsed on my head and when it was "fixed" it collapsed again the same day. There is also a roach problem. The construction of the building was awful, you don't notice until you get moved in how bad it really is. The building must have settled… because by the time I moved out I couldnt close the door to my bedroom.

At this point most of the residents are so mad about everything that they dont respect the building anymore, so people will drop full drinks on the ground of the hallways and elevators and just walk away.

They changed management companies 3 times in the 1 year that I lived here.

The guy who managers operations, Jean, has all kinda of weird rules about not letting delivery drivers come up to apartments. So you'll have to come downstairs to pick up all of your UberEats/Seamless orders. That doesnt sound like a big deal but it wears on you over time.

The only good thing about the building is Karim, who works at the front desk. Hes a nice guy and once I realized he was just enforcing Jean's stupid rules I felt bad for him. He was always super professional and made sure I got all my packages.

The residents are upset- but noone cares. If you are thinking about moving in, stop a resident and ask them about their experience with Lotus 315. Also, dont pick any of the building on South Harrison- they might look pretty but they were all built my Blackstone 360 and likely have the same issues.

The year I spent at Lotus..... all i can say is "YIKES". Read More
