“It’s really fun to see new, young-minded people move in,” she said. “We’re seeing a lot of new community members, and I think this is a great starting place for them. It truly is a warm, wonderful community.”

Gelman Lapinson moved into ParkVue at Livingston after nearly a decade renting at an older complex nearby. She was struck by ParkVue’s luxury amenities, well-landscaped grounds, and picture-perfect residences.

“When you walk around the grounds, everything is as beautiful as the day I moved in,” Gelman Lapinson said of life at ParkVue at Livingston. “The grounds are gorgeous, and the management cares about what they do and the people who live here.”

Since becoming a ParkVue tenant, Gelman Lapinson has gotten married, and she and her husband are so happy at the complex that they’re considering upgrading to a larger unit.

“I always say it is, for lack of a better word, easy living,” Gelman Lapinson said of why she and her husband love ParkVue so dearly. “I feel that management puts their heart and soul into the development — everything is so well-maintained.”

The care poured into ParkVue at Livingston is clearly apparent within each unit. The community’s one- and two-bedroom models feature large living space, an in-unit washer and dryer, an oversized tile shower, a balcony/patio in select units, a walk-in closet, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living, and dining areas. Residents also access secure underground parking and video intercom security with their units.

“Whether I’m home by myself or with my husband, I always feel safe,” Gelman Lapinson said. “There are cameras everywhere. I’ve never had an issue with security or feeling nervous coming home by myself late at night. It’s a very safe, well-maintained community.”

Beyond the apartment, ParkVue offers residents open community living designed for exploration and relaxation, featuring winding outdoor scenic paths, a barbecue and picnic area, a state-of-the-art gym, a heated outdoor pool, and a spectacular clubhouse—all set within lush landscaped grounds.

“I use the gym, I use the pickleball courts, and everything is always clean and well-run,” Gelman Lapinson said. “I never have an issue having to wait for machines at the gym. There’s always something available for us to use. It’s the same with the pickleball courts — always available.”

Even with all the amenities and high standards of living, it’s the people of ParkVue that keep Gelman Lapinson the happiest.

“We have our own little ParkVue family,” she said. “It really is beautiful. It’s just so nice to be in a community, within the community where I was born and raised, and where I work.”

Squiretown Properties, and the family behind the creation of ParkVue, are deeply rooted in Livingston. Their pride in Livingston’s exceptional lifestyle is clearly reflected in their commitment to meticulous details in every part of ParkVue at Livingston.

Former Long Island Tech Executive Finds New Life at ParkVue at Livingston

December 27, 2021

Accommodating service, modern amenities, space and convenience drove Todd Kosik’s choice

LIVINGSTON, N.J. – When Todd Kosik was looking for a fresh start, he had his heart set on living in one of New Jersey’s most sought-after luxury rental address, ParkVue at Livingston. With no available units at that time, he had to settle for an apartment in Roseland. Fortunately, the following year, a 2-bedroom corner unit, the Burnet, in ParkVue’s Building 4000 became available. Todd jumped at the chance to move. For him, it was all about finding a home rather than a run-of-the-mill apartment.

“The apartment in Roseland was old and run down,” said Todd. “At ParkVue, everything in and out of the apartment is so modern.”

Todd immediately signed the lease (sight unseen) and hasn’t had one regret. “It has everything you could want in an apartment,” said Kosik. “It has an open layout, lots of natural light, and everything is modern and new.”

This 1,257-square-foot residence comes complete with a chef-inspired kitchen, extra cabinet space, stainless-steel appliances, hardwood floors, 9-foot high ceilings, walk-in closets and a private balcony. For Todd, a divorced father of two, a spacious second bedroom has become a necessity when his sons stay over. “The layout is great. The bedrooms are far apart, the bathrooms are large, and the ceilings are high,” he added.

Todd moved to Livingston in the early 2000s to start a family and immediately fell in love with the area. He now spends most of his time there, since like much of the workforce, Todd finds himself working remotely. For him, a spacious ParkVue home in the heart of Livingston represents the best of both worlds. He also loves the fact that the apartment offers spacious storage units. “It’s very convenient when you have a lot of stuff and want to avoid clutter,” he said.

Aside from the conveniences and comforts, Todd has been impressed by the residents in the ParkVue.

“ParkVue is a very diverse, welcoming community,” he explained. “From young families to older retirees, everyone has been very friendly and accommodating.”

The high-end conveniences are also what drew Todd to ParkVue, which includes a clubhouse, an advanced fitness center, basketball courts and even sanitizing stations throughout the area. ParkVue also incorporates communication in a way that other places lacked. For packages, you’re instantly alerted with a text so you can pick it right up at the clubhouse. The management is constantly in touch with residents, letting them know about community events, parties and even emergency alerts.

“Honestly, ParkVue has been perfect for my current life situation,” Todd added. “It really is easy living.”

Squiretown Properties is the developer of ParkVue, whose family has lived in Livingston for the past 40 years. Select one and two bedrooms and lofts are now available for immediate occupancy.

“I wanted to simplify my life, and it was time to downsize,” Reed said. “Plus, the only reason I lived in Parsippany was for work, so I was looking forward to exploring a new neighborhood.”

Reed narrowed down his new neighborhoods to South Orange and Livingston, and eventually chose ParkVue because of its intuitive floor plans.

“ParkVue had the floor plan that I really liked – all the rooms have the right amount of space, and the whole layout makes perfect sense,” Reed said. “I like that the kitchen opens up to the living room, which makes it nice to entertain. I also like that the study and the bedroom are tucked to the side.”

Reed moved into the Bel Air residence, a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom loft apartment on the third floor of ParkVue’s first building, in April 2017. He said he was happy to be the unit’s first occupant, noting that he has “an appreciation for new construction.” The 1,062-square-foot apartment features a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors throughout, a walk-in closet in the bedroom, and a sizable den area in addition to the loft. Reed added that the third-floor level and south-facing windows let in welcoming natural sunlight.

“The Bel Air has a study and loft, so it feels more like a three-bedroom apartment than a one-bedroom apartment,” Reed said. “This floor plan supported my vision to have true separate spaces for entertaining and an office.”

Accessibility was also important to Reed, who has arthritic knees. As the stairs in his townhome became more difficult to climb the fact that ParkVue’s elevator offers direct access from the underground parking garage, coupled with the apartment’s single-floor design, made everyday living easier for Reed.

“I wanted to be all on one floor, and I don’t really need to go into the loft that often, so this layout provided tremendous accessibility and simplified daily life,” Reed said. He added that the apartments are well-insulated, saying that “there seems to be a great amount of soundproofing” at ParkVue.

“Once I get into my unit, I don’t hear much of anything – even though I’m in an apartment building, it’s wonderful to feel like I’m in my own cocoon,” Reed said.

The community boasts a private clubhouse with a game room, bar, and lounge. Tenants can break a sweat in the cutting-edge fitness center and cool down in the outdoor swimming pool. Afterwards tenants can fire up the BBQ grills for delicious outdoor dining.

“The people who live here are very nice – it’s always a pleasure to run into them in the common areas,” Reed said.

Just 20 minutes from work in Warren and a quick drive to local hangouts, Reed said that ParkVue’s accessibility to major highways made Livingston the perfect new place to live. “Route 10 has every possible store I’d want to shop and every type of restaurant I’d like to visit,” Reed said. “I also like that I’m close to Route 280, I-80 & 287 and Route 78. In terms of access to highways, I think ParkVue at Livingston is ideal.”

Five apartments are now available for immediate occupancy in Building 4000, which is currently 85% leased.

ParkVue at Livingston celebrates the groundbreaking for the final building (#5000).

“All the other apartments we saw had two bedrooms immediately off the common area, and this one isn’t laid out like that,” said Koenigsberg. “It feels more like a home and less like an apartment.”

The couple chose Livingston because of the township’s proximity to work. Koenigsberg is a kindergarten teacher in Newton, while Baranker is assistant director of Jeff Lake Day Camp, Stanhope, N.J.

“Many of the campers live in Livingston, and it’s so wonderful to go to the bagel shop and run into my camp families,” Baranker said, adding that he and Koenigsberg can easily get to New York City on weekends. “Livingston is the epicenter of my community.”

According to the couple, ParkVue at Livingston incorporates technology in a way which provides modern conveniences other buildings simply didn’t offer. And it’s not just the new appliances and modern architecture: Baranker and Koenigsberg regularly use a smartphone app to safely retrieve packages and mail after hours, a feature which has added great flexibility to their daily routines.

“At my last apartment, the leasing office held our packages and we couldn’t retrieve them if we came home after the office closed,” said Koenigsberg, who previously lived in Cedar Knolls. “At ParkVue, we can retrieve our packages up to 11pm if we wanted to… it’s been a great option for our boxed meal service, since we don’t want food sitting outside our front door until we get home from work.”

Baranker, who lived in Roseland prior to ParkVue, added that the tech details demonstrated ParkVue’s commitment to detail from floor to ceiling.

“ParkVue is checking all the right boxes,” Baranker said. “All the details were carefully thought out, especially the tech details such as the video entry system.”

And while it was initially the charm of the apartment that won them over, ParkVue’s communal atmosphere contributed to their happiness in their new home. Baranker and Koenigsberg use ParkVue’s clubhouse, gym and pool. Koenigsberg said she loves that her neighbors know one another and look out for each other’s well-being.
“Everyone who we have met wants to get to know each other,” Koenigsberg said. “At the apartment where I came from, I rarely saw the same people twice. There was a lot of turnover, but we’re getting the idea here that people are sticking around, and it’s nice to see familiar faces.”

On the other hand, Koenigsberg said the unit’s privacy is unparalleled to other places she used to live, citing the private entrance, direct access to the parking garage and even the notably well-constructed walls. “We hear nothing!” Koenigsberg exclaimed. “We’ve never heard the neighbors through the walls, we don’t hear dogs, we don’t hear people in the hallway.”

For Baranker, ParkVue at Livingston sits at the cross-section of ideal location, top-shelf amenities and great community, all of which add up to a perfect place to live. “We’re tough critics in a way – we’re growing up in a generation where things are always ‘cutting-edge,’” Baranker said. “We have high expectations, but it’s obvious that ParkVue has crossed their T’s and dotted their I’s. ParkVue at Livingston has exceeded our expectations.”

Squiretown Properties, the developers of ParkVue, whose family has lived in Livingston for the past 40 years, recently announced that Building 3000 is 70% leased. Immediate occupancies are available.

Marsha, a retired fashion editor and singles event planner, and Richard, a retired nail polish manufacturer and commercial real estate professional, chose The Heritage, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit. They moved after living 12 years at the Regency Club in Livingston.

The Heritage features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring, an in-unit washer/dryer, and plenty of windows so their new home is always filled with natural sunlight. Faced with increased maintenance costs and breakdowns in their old condo, moving into brand-new construction meant less maintenance for the Larners, as well.

“Who needs all this,”Marsha said. “It was enough already. We were ready to live in a rental community like ParkVue which has an on-site maintenance team to handle these repairs and replacements for us.”

Marsha added that a move close by meant that they did not need to find new service providers or change their normal shopping destinations — they’re still just a heartbeat away from the Route 10 commerce corridor.

“Grocery stores, banks, pharmacies — everything is on Route 10,” Marsha said. “Turn right, and we’re at the Livingston Mall. Turn left and we’re close to Nordstrom Rack, Bed, Bath and Beyond, The Container Store and Costco, among others. The Short Hills Mall is just six minutes away. We have everything at our fingertips — we didn’t need to change any of our regular destinations.”

The Larners said the apartment is designed in a way which provides the same amount of space as their old condominium.

“The architect who designed the apartment used every inch of space,” Marsha said. “The closets and kitchen cabinets are extremely generous. The Heritage holds as much as our condo held, something I never visualized until we moved in.”

According to Richard, ParkVue’s attentive management team addresses any maintenance needs quickly, and often without needing to be notified.

“When I let management know about an issue, whether it’s in a communal space or in our home, it’s always fixed the next day,” Richard said. “The owners, management team and maintenance team take great care of the property. There are crews vacuuming and mopping every single day. Everything is always taken care of and you don’t even need to think about them.”

“We hear from many tenants like the Larners who moved to ParkVue because they simply don’t want to maintain a large home anymore,” added Eli Montag, Director of Leasing for ParkVue at Livingston. “ParkVue’s management team takes care of everything from shoveling the sidewalks to replacing appliances that break down. Our residents can relax knowing that the on-site management team provides a maintenance-free lifestyle to all the residents.”

When they’re not spending time in their new apartment, Marsha and Richard can be found taking advantage of ParkVue at Livingston’s many amenities. Richard uses the state-of-the-art fitness center every morning, while the couple attends social events hosted by ParkVue management. And when their granddaughters and great granddaughter come to visit, there’s plenty for them to do as a family: the kids love to swim at the pool and play billiards in the clubhouse.

“We meet neighbors at the clubhouse’s social events who we wouldn’t have otherwise met,” Marsha said. “The complex is diverse and filled with friendly, wonderful people.”

“It’s a pleasure living here,” Richard added.

Squiretown Properties, the developers of ParkVue, whose family has lived in Livingston for the past 40 years, recently announced the opening of Building 3000 for lease.“Apartments are available for immediate occupancy,” says Montag,” but the building is already over 60% leased so I encourage those interested to act fast.”

“I decided to move to Livingston because I needed a change,” according to D’Andrea, a financial professional who rented her residence in Morristown for five years before moving to the new community. “ParkVue is super convenient to where I’m from and where I used to live – I can keep my shopping, salons and other professionals. The second I heard there was a new rental residence this close to everywhere I needed and wanted to be, I was immediately interested in becoming a part of the community.”

ParkVue at Livingston is a brand-new, 220-unit luxury living complex located just off Route 10 and Columbia Turnpike in Livingston. The 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom community, which opened earlier this year, features a Clubhouse and entertainment center with billiards and lounge; a state-of-the-art fitness center; a heated outdoor pool; sports courts; walking trails; and a dedicated barbecue area.

D’Andrea said she decided to call ParkVue at Livingston home the moment she stepped foot onto the property, noting its luxury features, her proximity to work and the easy commute to New York City. She was one of the first residents to sign a lease with ParkVue at Livingston.

“This was my first and last stop,” D’Andrea said. “The location was perfect and I knew it was a brand-new complex. The second I saw it, I knew I wanted to live here.” D’Andrea selected The Burnett model, a 1-bedroom, 790-square-foot unit in the gated community. Her new apartment – one each of the four styles offered by ParkVue at Livingston — includes 9’ ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with GE stainless steel appliances, an oversized tile shower, a washer/dryer in unit, a private terrace and high-speed WiFi. Lofts are available in some units.

“Our new construction is appealing to young professionals because they know that they are moving to a fine community occupied with other professionals just like them,” said Eli Montag, Director of Leasing at ParkVue at Livingston. “Each one-bedroom and two-bedroom unit offers such luxury features as hardwood flooring throughout, stone countertops and 24/7 security.”

“The extra security is a very comforting feature of living at ParkVue, especially for residents who live by themselves,” D’Andrea adds. “Every security feature from cameras and video intercoms, to lockers for packages, to direct elevator service to the garage, creates a level of security that’s really unprecedented compared to other complexes in New Jersey.”

“And the service is impeccable. When I email management or maintenance, they return my inquiry within a half-hour,” D’Andrea said.

For Montag, hearing feedback from satisfied tenants is a point of pride. “We built a beautiful complex with working professionals in mind, with plenty of places to meet neighbors and forward-thinking security features,” Montag said. “We are really proud of the community we built here.”

Squiretown Properties, the developers of ParkVue have announced the opening of the new Building 3000 for lease. Occupancy is scheduled for January 2018. The building is now 50% leased.

Gelman, who teaches kindergarten at Collins Elementary School in Livingston, spent several years in New York City before returning to her hometown approximately 10 years ago. Since her return, she has been involved in several community endeavors, including a fundraiser for cancer research called Cycle for Survival and admittance to the Livingston High School Hall of Fame.

“I’ve always been connected to the community, whether as a resident or as a teacher — or as both,” Gelman said. “I was so happy to be back in Livingston after living in the city for several years.”

Gelman decided to change developments after renting for nearly a decade at a nearby, older complex. ParkVue at Livingston’s new construction — the complex broke ground in 2015 and first opened to residents this past summer — initially attracted her to the community, and once she saw the amenities she would receive for her rent, she knew that this was the right place for her.

“I kept my eyes open, and I learned quickly that other apartment buildings in ParkVue’s price range do not even compare to the facilities, grounds and new appliances offered here,” Gelman said. “The price is phenomenal for what you’re getting. It’s not even a question that this is the best value.”

The amenities don’t just stop at new, stainless steel appliances. Each 1 and 2-bedroom model features oversized tile showers, a patio/deck off the living/dining room area in most units, a washer/dryer in the unit, walk-in closet and hardwood floors throughout the main living area. Each unit also includes a secure underground parking space, with direct elevator service leading residents directly to their apartments.

“As someone who lives alone, safety is very important for me,” Gelman said. “I have the full feeling of security and safety living here… I have no problems coming and going at night.”

Outside the apartment, Gelman and all the other ParkVue residents have their choice of activities, from a heated pool and sports courts to barbecue areas and Clubhouse, which features billiards and a lounge. Gelman said she gets the most use of the expansive health and fitness center.

“The gym is the biggest draw for me,” Gelman said. “Like everything else at ParkVue, it’s well managed and very well-maintained. You can tell that the management really thought about the type of fitness equipment to include, and it’s all brand new and super convenient to get to.”

Aside from all the amenities offered by ParkVue at Livingston, Gelman couldn’t be happier with her neighbors.

“Everybody I walk past has a ‘hello’ and a smile,” Gelman said. “Everyone is so respectful of each other, and everyone I pass in the elevator or outside is very nice, especially if you’re new. There’s a true community feel here; everyone I’ve spoken to is so happy living here and feels really good about their move.”

Additionally, Gelman said she was surprised to run into other residents who, like her, grew up in Livingston or were otherwise connected to the township, but all settled on ParkVue as the new and exciting place to live.

“So many people throughout the course of my life have moved into ParkVue, whether they were downsizing or simply looking for a better value for their dollar,” Gelman said. “When I was growing up, there were no communities like this available in Livingston. Everyone lived in a house. It’s a good feeling that everyone can come together in a new, community-oriented place.”

The community boasts a state-of-the-art fitness center, heated outdoor pool and sports courts to get your heart pumping. Prefer the outdoors?

“Residents of ParkVue at Livingston don’t just get home from work and go to bed – there’s things to do and people to see!” Montag said. “We want our residents to truly get to know their neighbors and socialize, a principle that’s ingrained in the very way we designed the community.”

Tucked away off Route 10 and Eisenhower Parkway, the 21-acre ParkVue at Livingston offers an oasis away from the hustle and bustle. The landscaped, semi-secluded property boasts a waterfall and a pond while remaining connected to the surrounding area: the complex is walking distance from major retailers like The Container Store, which recently-opened and restaurants like the drive-thru Starbucks, Shake Shack and Blaze Pizza. Plus there are many local Golf & Country Clubs, too. Commuters to New York City will enjoy a 30-minute trip, while commuters throughout northern New Jersey can easily access interstates 280, 287, 78 and 80.

“Residents of ParkVue at Livingston won’t need to choose between luxury living and a short commute to work,” Montag said. “We are proud to offer a community which truly gives residents the best of both worlds.”

Select one-bedroom units are available for immediate occupancy in building 2000.

Designed by the award-winning GB Design Consultants of Verona, N.J., the furnished model is set up in the “Broadlawn,” a 1,239-square-foot corner unit. Beautifully staged with picture-perfect furniture and home décor, the furnished model showcases the entire set of top-of-the-line, in-demand amenities which come with every rental residence in ParkVue at Livingston.

Amenity highlights include a gourmet kitchen with GE stainless steel appliances, a gas range, stone countertops, and 42-inch-high cabinets; oversized tile showers; a patio/deck off the living/dining room area; hardwood floors throughout the main living area; a walk-in closet in the master bedroom; an in-unit washer/dryer; and high-speed Wi-Fi. Each unit includes a secure no extra charge underground parking space, accessible through direct elevator service.

“The abundant features we offer – at a reasonable price, no less – are the reasons we stand out in a competitive rental market,” Montag said. “This full suite of in-demand amenities cannot be matched.”

It’s not just the stellar features of the living spaces that are luxurious – the entire ParkVue at Livingston complex was designed and built with finer things in mind. The smoke-free, pet-friendly community is meticulously landscaped and semi-secluded, with winding roads, walking paths, a waterfall, a pond and terraced walls. In fact, it might be hard for residents to remember that the 21-acre property is actually located just off Route 10 and Eisenhower Parkway, a major thoroughfare just minutes from shopping and recreation, and just under a half-hour from New York City.

“Just one step into our community and you’ll immediately know that ParkVue is different,” Montag said.

Residents of ParkVue at Livingston are granted access to wide range of activities and amenities without needing to leave the community.

“We want our residents to build fond memories in their community,” Montag said. “There are many opportunities for everyone, including individuals, couples and families, to meet one another and enjoy their time.”

According to Sam Gershwin, Sr. Vice President of Squiretown Properties, the developers of ParkVue, security was a top priority. Each apartment is wired for video intercom security, a gated entrance and secured parcel package delivery. The apartments are also serviced through 24-hour maintenance and have generator backup if there’s power failure in bad weather.

“There are few places in the area that offer such valuable amenities,” Gershwin said. “Residents want to make sure they’re getting high value for their hard-earned money, and they’re truly getting that at ParkVue at Livingston.”
