I am extremely disappointed with my experience at RVR Xchange Secaucus. This property is marketed as a luxury apartment complex, but it does not live up to that claim.
The fire alarm goes off far too often. While it is known that the windows do not open, this creates a serious problem for residents who cook. With no way to ventilate the apartment, even normal cooking can set off the smoke alarm, which is frustrating and disruptive.
There are ongoing heating issues, and cold air constantly seeps in through the window seams, making the apartment uncomfortable. Wind also comes in from under the main door, creating a loud swooshing noise that is incredibly irritating and makes it hard to feel at ease in your own home.
The walls are paper thin. You can hear neighbors clearly, which completely takes away any sense of privacy.
Package handling is a mess. Sometimes you are told there is no one available to retrieve your package, while other times it is suddenly available within minutes. There is no consistency. Packages are also frequently mislabeled. For example, an apartment marked as K may be tagged as R, making it unnecessarily difficult to locate your delivery.
Food delivery collection is another frustrating experience. Residents are required to pick up food orders from the concierge desk, which is inconvenient. This policy is explained as being for resident safety, but that explanation is hard to believe. A simple online search shows multiple publicly reported incidents involving this property, including a major armed robbery and shooting in September 2025 where suspects reportedly targeted a resident.
There are also publicly reported incidents from August 2024 where a man was charged with stalking a woman living in the RVR luxury apartment complex and breaking into her apartment, according to Secaucus Police. Given these incidents, it is difficult to see how restricting food delivery actually improves safety.
Overall, this is not a luxury apartment in any sense of the word. Between the constant alarms, lack of ventilation, poor insulation, noise issues, disorganized package system, confusing delivery rules, and serious safety concerns, living here has been extremely frustrating. I would not recommend this place to anyone expecting a premium or secure living experience.
