I was nervous that a modern apartment would feel cold, but my unit at Iron65 feels warm and livable. The finishes are minimal but not sterile, the lighting is soft, and there’s real character in the layout. It’s one of the rare new buildings that feels like it was designed for real people, not Instagram photos.

I toured a bunch of “modern apartments” in Newark and most felt sterile. Iron65 nails the balance—clean, sleek finishes with character. The floor-to-ceiling windows in my unit show off an amazing skyline view, and the open-concept layout makes it feel bigger than it is. It’s functional and beautiful.

Good property management makes a huge difference. Iron65 is always clean, issues get handled fast, and the front desk staff are actual humans—not just warm bodies sitting at a counter. It makes the whole building feel taken care of. I’ve lived in “luxury buildings” before that were chaos behind the scenes—this isn’t one of them.

What stood out at Iron65 was the consistency—cleanliness, quiet, professionalism. Every part of the experience feels intentional. Even the mailroom works smoothly (which is rare). It’s one of the best-maintained modern rentals I’ve seen in Newark.

I thought “luxury apartments in Newark” would either be overpriced or all talk. But Iron65 is neither. For the price, you get a lot: quality appliances, real amenities, responsive staff, and a space that’s genuinely enjoyable to live in. If you're trying to level up without breaking the bank, it’s a solid choice.
