Located on an idyllic and quiet tree lined residential street steps from the one of the best rated and active downtowns (recently named best downtown in NJ!) in New Jersey, Riverside Garden Apartments is a wonderful place to call home. Our community offers apartments with fantastic layouts, wonderful light, updated kitchens, spa-like tiled bathrooms, in-unit stackable washer/dryer (in renovated units), hardwood or wood-look plank flooring, dishwasher, gas range and stainless steel appliances.

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 Riverside Estates Apartment Homes
The only reason we moved out of Riverside Garden Apartments at 12 Riverside Drive is because we finally made it to buy a house, if that were not the situation we would definitely stayed there. The current management of the apartments is really responsive and attentive (and I have to say, very understanding). My wife and me were really impressed with the very quick response times we always got from both the Management and the Maintenance areas. If I have to recommend a very safe and decently priced apartment-complex in Cranford, I would definitely recommend Riverside Garden Apartments at 12 Riverside Drive. Also, they have been refurbishing all the apartments lately!
