PARSIPPANY — Vail Gardens has long been regarded as one of the top multi-family communities within Parsippany, offering a beautiful park-like setting and easy access to Route 46.
Parsippany-Troy Hills was rated the fifth best place to live in the United States in their yearly survey “Best Places to Live in 2016,” by Money Magazine.
Over the past two years, there has been a concerted effort to upgrade the overall appeal of the property through some considerable capital expenditure projects.
Much of this began with their participation in the town’s new waste management and recycling program.
In recent months, the community has also undergone an overhaul to their landscaping by planting all new trees, shrubs and flower beds.
In addition to enhancing the impressive brick and blue stone monument at the entry on Vail Road, there have been further building signage updates as well as a new playground facility.
Within the community, residents have also seen positive changes to the laundry facilities, where older coin operated equipment has been replaced with new card operated high efficiency electric dryers and water efficient washers.
However, what might be most noticeable to anyone who has driven or walked by the project at night is the conversion to LED exterior lighting.
With advancements in LED technology making lighting brighter, longer-lasting, and incredibly energy efficient, the effort has been extremely well received.
Long time Parsippany resident and Vail Gardens Superintendent Vincent Petito noted that “The company knew that in having almost 150 outside lights, it would not be a quick or cheap project. But this being very beneficial to our residents, it was a great opportunity to not only add new lights, but also create a scheme that provided brighter and safer parking lots that use 60% less energy.”
This upgrade to being a more energy efficient garden community should be completed by the end of the year and Vail’s sister property, Intervale Gardens has followed suit with many of the aesthetic and practical changes.
Both properties have been fortunate to enjoy a faithful tenant base for many years, and their loyalty is now being rewarded with attention to details that are sure to be impactful for both the communities and residents alike. To ownership’s credit, they did not look to finance these improvements through any massive rent increase, but instead chose to make a commitment to making a meaningful contribution to these already wonderful projects.
This apartment community has two story buildings with 272 units, studio, one and two bedroom apartments.
School age children attend Northvail Elementary School, Central Middle School or Parsippany High School which are all walking distance from the community.
Vail Gardens is located at 100 Vail Road.
