      City - Morris Plains

      Bordering Morristown and Parsippany-Troy Hills, Morris Plains is a predominantly residential suburb in northeastern New Jersey. Many Morris Plains residents commute to work in New York City via the Morristown Line of NJ Transit and Interstates 80 and 287.

      Despite its close proximity to New York City, Morris Plains presents a small-town lifestyle with access to numerous outdoor amenities and a walkable, historic downtown area. Morris Plains residents have the option to go swimming in Idlewild Pool, stroll through Central Park of Morris County, hike the scenic trails in Mountain Way, or go fishing at Lake Parsippany. An array of restaurants and specialty shops in Morris Plains’ quaint downtown area offer residents a personalized experience in a lush, tree-filled environment as well.

      Was here a while and now leaving due to high rent increases and no communication from management. Also, service requests aren’t followed through and completed… Price is high for non luxury apartments and no amenities.

      Everything has been amazing besides the heater malfunctioning within our 1st week here. The maintenance had to come more than 3-4 times, for now it's working fine.

      So far your leasing office (Jewel) has made this a seamless process. The location is perfect and the amenities look lovely. The apartment itself is beautiful, looking forward to soaking in the tub and having in unit washer and dryer will make things much easier. The kitchen storage and stainless steel appliances are such a nice touch. My move in date isn't until the 31st but I'm looking forward to it.

      Quite community, residents mostly keep to themselves, but all interactions are friendly. Would love to see some simple amenities such as a small playground/swings for kids added. There are also a fair amount of dogs, I feel the community would also benefit from a dog wash. Both things I feel could help this complex simply help build some community as well as keep up with other complexes in the area

      I am extremely disappointed with the leasing office. They have been unresponsive and unhelpful for the past four weeks. Despite repeated requests, they have failed to complete the tasks we have asked of them. They claim that a staff transition is the reason for the delays, but it's poor management to transition all employees simultaneously, leaving no one available to assist tenants effectively. To make matters worse, the staff splits their time between managing our complex and another one, so they are rarely present in the office when we need them. This level of service is unacceptable and has made the experience of living here frustrating and stressful. I hope the management takes immediate steps to address these issues and improve their responsiveness and reliability.

      We have been here for almost 3 years now. Maintenance and Property Management are great. The apartment is nice and the location is convenient. These are the reasons that we renewed our lease one last time. However the noise levels in our building have increased over time. People can be inconsiderate parking in other people's assigned spaces leaving the garbage room a mess etc. The noise can be awful many days and is a big issue for me as it impacts my work. We have already talked to management and this is really beyond their control. So the noise is the main reason this will be our last lease term with The Highlands

      I have been a tenant for the past 13 yrs and have been more than pleased with the cleanliness of the building and the safety assured me when I moved in. Lately I have not been pleased for the two reasons listed above. I notice at times doors are ajared. Too many feral cats roaming the grounds. It is disturbing to see for where there are feral cats there are other vermins.

The location is convenient, close to shopping, the banks post office, parks, medical facilities and public transportation. Justin, Nina and everyone in property management are wonderful. Jeff and Jose in building maintenance are great. The only issue we have is the noise from the tenant above us. Which is not property management's fault.

      I lived at The Highlands at Morris Plains for a year and would have stayed if I had not switched job locations. Beautiful, spacious apartments and never had an issue with management. Maintenance requests were quickly handled within the same day most of the time.
