You haven't even gotten to the apartment yet, and this is easily my favorite place you've shown on the channel. The neighborhood is quaint, the building is extremely impressive. Looks like a homerun!

[@washburn9999]

i live in the neighboring town of Maplewood and it's downtown i extremely quaint and would remind you of Charles Dickens...as a matter of fact, every Christmas the town puts up a Dickens Village in the town square...very cute...

@@washburn9999 that sounds amazing!!! I hope get to visit that place one day around Christmas!!! 😍

they have to make it worth your while to move to New Jersey. I love it though. It's better than every luxury apartment I've seen in New York so far.

OMG!! I went to school there. I went to Seton Hall for my Masters Degree. I can't believe I am watching the street I use to run up and down to catch the train back to Manhattan. I worked on 3rd Ave but lived in new Rochelle so I was running for the train all the time trying to get to class or going back home. They also have a connection to the path and the NJT gets you into Manhattan in less than 30. South Orange is amazing! They also have the theatre there where they have concerts and plays and all that jazz, it's called SOPAC. Thank you Cash for giving me this little burst of nostalgia. 😃😃🤗

[@invincibul]

Why did you move and which place was better than this 😄

[@Bobrogers99]

The neighborhood and the train access to Manhattan both look good! Compared to most NYC apartments, you get a whole lot more in NJ for your money! The building is shiny new and offers many amenities, the rooms and closets are large, the finishes are high-end, and you have in-unit laundry and outdoor space. There's even garaged parking available to rent. I've run out of boxes to check. The value here makes it worth a few more minutes and a bit more train fare to get to work.

WOW!! That's just a beautiful building! Even the hallways are impressive. I loved all you showed. I could never afford to live there, but $3400 is what you were showing in NYC for something that would be considered dumpy, so that's a really plus for moving to Jersey instead of the City. I couldn't believe how BIG the bathrooms were in those apartments! I could live there. Well, except I still can't afford it. LOL

[@jamesslate1026]

This is, hands down, the nicest building you've ever toured. I know that native New Yorkers always poo-poo Jersey, but for my money, you get so much more value. The 2-bedroom apartments in this building would easily run more than $6k/month in Manhattan. For $3400 in NYC, you can rent a small studio in a similar luxury building. Here, you get a massive 1-bedroom apartment, where you can live like an adult and enjoy real amenities. And the train into Midtown is the same commute as if you lived in Brooklyn. The taxes in Jersey are so much cheaper as well. That view of the mountains cannot be beat. New York has man-made mountains, but Mother Nature does it best.

[@tigergreg8]

I was in love with this place before I even saw the apt. I'd LOVE to have that 1 bedroom. If I worked in NYC, I'd take that apt in a millisecond. It seems as though they thought of EVERYTHING. I don't know who designed this, and put so much thought into it, but whoever they are, they did an Excellent job. This rivals any NYC apt by far.

[@ceeletter5772]

Me too. If I accepted a favorable job offer in NYC I’d call them first. Absolutely perfect. Thank you for featuring this fantastic place.

[@Pintexx]

4900$ for a true luxury apartment is a great price. A lot of NYC apartments lack the space and quality to be genuine Luxury apartments and basically fool tenants into thinking it’s a luxury apartment.

[@drewh3224]

[@plutoplatters]

oh hell.... $9,900 would be far greater.

[@chellem1136]

Truthfully said!! The price is great for the space and amenities. Some apartments in NYC ask for prices like that with no space and have relatively dated appliances and fixtures. This is so beautiful I can't find anything negative about it. Cash you outdid yourself this time!! Makes me want to relocate to New Jersey!!🤗

[@FrankiesFancy]

How ironic that you say "trick tenants into thinking..." When you're basically brainwashed into thinking that almost $5k is "a great price" for rent on these places. Anyone who believes that much rent on _anything_ is acceptable is completely brainwashed. We're sliding into a bad situation where only those who make $200+k per year is entitled to a home...and you're tricked into thinking this is okay.🥺

[@Pintexx]

@@FrankiesFancy dawg, it’s a luxury apartment. Obviously it’s for people making 6 figures or stellar credit scores. There’s many apartments in NJ 2 bed that are 2000- 3000 that’s are nice but lack the luxuries like a gym, lounge, and private outdoor space

[@Honkiavelli]

[@sinash]

OH! Is this your FIRST NJ listing showing??? Thank you Taylor-Vose! Now... it's $5K/month for that two bed-two bath, nicely sized rooms, with those amenities? That's an OPPORTUNITY! I even liked the $3500/month one bedroom. The last two bed-two bath (I assume is the same rental price as the first unit) was quite nice too. IMHO, the Architect/Designer did an EXCELLENT job here.

[@Chaka70]

Cash, this is the first video of yours that I have viewed; very nice. Let me say that first. As a resident of the area for over 3 decades, I can say that South Orange has changed drastically. It has gone from practically a ghost town (a lot of the stores were vacant) to a bustling town where parking is almost impossible to find on the weekend. Anyone who lived here, left for a few years and came back, would probably not recognize the village/town, with the number of "luxury" apartments buildings built over the last 10-15 years, with Taylor/Vose being the latest. And there are others under construction right now! That said, I watched the construction of Taylor /Vose and toured the complex when it opened. All the amenities, as you have beautifully shown in your video, are lovely. However, what is a great disappointment is the size of the apartments, more specifically, the bedrooms. I toured ALL of the units: 1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms w/den, etc. The apartments are lovely, nice floor to ceiling windows. It's lovely that there is a vented out range over the stove and not a microwave, and that the washer and dryer are regular size. BUT the rooms are SMALL! Really, 27'x12' or 14' is a large space...SPACE (singular). It is not a large space if it accounts for 3 rooms; kitchen, dining and living room, as is the case at Taylor/Vose. Each apartment has an open floor plan, which is how most apartments and homes are built today. But when that space is broken up into other rooms, then you really are talking about the square footage of the space designated for each room. My husband and I toured the complex, as soon as it opened. We oohed and aahed over the amenities and left unimpressed because at the end of the day, you are not going to live in any of the amenity rooms. You are going to live in an apartment... in a fancy building (I might add) that just happens to have a lot of outside things going on. And some people may love that. But for my money, I need LIVING SPACE! Unless they have changed the rent prices since we were there, the largest apartment is over $7,000.00, and I do not think it's 1400 sq. ft. That's outrageous! I don't care what amenities are being offered...OUTRAGEOUS! None of the apartments are at 1500 sq.ft. You did a great job making the apartments you featured look huge. However, like you, I toured the apartments. They are not that big for all that money. There are 3 other luxury apartment buildings in South Orange, recently built (meaning past 10-15 years): The Avenue, Third and Valley and The Gateway. Seen them all. Third and Valley is the loveliest of the 3 with it's own pool, magnificent library and community room. However, I hear it's having problems. I will not reveal my favorite and why. New York residents may find this Taylor and Vose fabulous (and it is in some respects) and compared to NY rents, cheap...or at least cheaper. The train being only a block away is certainly attractive. Years ago, New Jersey Transit South Orange became a NY Direct stop. Of course, property values instantly went through the roof. I guess it's all relative. It's all about how people want to live and what they are willing to pay to live that way. if you've got it and don't mind spending it, and it meets your needs...great!

[@bobbiemooser7417]
