The second largest municipality in Union County, Plainfield is nicknamed “The Queen City” because of early comparisons to Denver, Colorado for its proximity to natural springs and the Watchung Mountains. Just a short train ride from Manhattan today, Plainfield is considered to be a New York City suburb, boasting the diverse benefits of urban and suburban living.
Primarily a residential area, Plainfield offers plenty of things to do. Residents and visitors can stroll through wide tree-lined streets, admire Victorian architecture in ten historic districts, attend Plainfield Symphony Orchestra concerts, stop by an award-winning public library, and visit the Shakespeare Garden in the expansive Cedar Brook Park. Plainfield also presents a variety of markets, shops, and restaurants in its commercial district stretched along Front Street.
Getting around from Plainfield is easy with access to multiple NJ Transit railroad stations, the Garden State Parkway, and Interstates 78 and 287.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Frontier Flats
The apartment is really nice, quiet and clean. Washer and dryer in the unit and new appliances. Nice wooden floors. Everyone with frontier has been very helpful.
I recently moved into Frontier Flats and the experience has been great so far. The leasing team made the process smooth and straightforward, and the property management team has been very responsive and welcoming. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and exactly as expected. The assistant property manager, Dario, has been especially helpful and friendly, which made my move-in much easier.
We are new tenants and honestly it feels like such a warm cozy vibe! It feels like youre living in a airbnb all the time, love the luxury and affordability of these apartments. Everyone seems so friendly and the streets are filled with amazing food!

Welcome to the community! We're so glad you're loving the cozy vibe, luxury, and the friendly atmosphere. Enjoy the great food and your new home! - Frontier Flats Team
Deciding to live here was the WORST mistake I have ever made. There is absolutely NOTHING luxurious about these "luxury apartments”. 1. Water has been completely off at least three times since I’ve lived here. They don't give notices via email or telephone, they never explain why and never let anyone know when it is back on either. 2. There were multiple water leakages throughout the apartment, especially on the third floor. There were some ceiling breakages. I notified the property manager and nothing was done. There is still breakage in my ceiling. 3. I am convinced the cameras do NOT work. There are packages stolen, car break-ins, etc. When requesting security footage, the only excuse is “we aren't able to have access to them.” (Mind you, it is the PROPERTY MANAGER claiming to not have access to the security footage throughout the building.) 4. Not a safe living environment at all. If you have a family or are living alone, you will deal with people who are high/drunk around the premises constantly. There have been multiple car break-ins and the property management are completely useless when it comes to asking for video footage. Do not let them say “it is a rare occurrence” when items are stolen within or around the building — they happen often. 5. Having a car living here becomes an inconvenience. There is NO secure parking and your car is not safe here. You have to pay the state $60 a month for parking, which wouldn't be an issue, but you risk your car getting broken into, drunk/high people around while watching you every day, and the lot not even being open. The parking isn't secure because the city is always having events which take up the lot. So not only are you paying $60 a month for an area your car is not safe in, your parking spot isn't even guaranteed. If you were able to at least park in the front of the building, you'd at least have a solution to this issue, but after 1 or 2 AM the roads need to be cleared, and you'd end up getting a ticket. 6. Management is completely useless. They're not usually on site, they don't take concern seriously. I have multiple unread text messages of concerns. The messages they do reply to will have no actual actions being taken. The 1 star is only because I can't leave 0. You are paying for an unsafe, dirty, uncomfortable place of living, not anything luxury about it. I am counting down the days until I am able to leave.

From the moment I started my apartment search and interest in Frontier Flats, Samir has been very helpful and responsive! I moved into Frontier Flats this August 2023. As a teacher for Plainfield, I decided to move into the city where I teach. This has been an awesome decision! I absolutely love my new studio apartment. Everything is brand new and gorgeous. Not to mention, my window view is of our beautiful courtyard that's lit up so nicely every evening! Living here is a little piece of Peace living in a busy city.

One of the things I appreciated about Paramount Management was their quick response time. Whenever I had a question or concern, whether it was through email or phone, they were prompt in getting back to me. This made me feel like my concerns were being taken seriously. Moreover, their online tenant portal was easy to use and navigate. I could pay rent, submit maintenance requests, and access important documents without any hassle. This added convenience is definitely a plus for tenants who prefer handling things digitally.

Recently leased a studio here and couldn't be happier. The kitchen has all new appliances and the size is incredible for a studio. The room itself is also a wonderful size and to top it all over washer and dryer in unit can not be beat. Highly Recommend
