There are no common outdoor spaces...so you'd have to find one of the few renters with a terrace.

Out of curiosity, do they allow members of the public onto the terraces or outdoor spaces? I'm a hobby photographer shooting Newark and would love to get some photos of and from Eleven80.

The $10 / floor is added to your rent. So being on the 25th floor, you pay $200/month more than the same unit on the 5th floor.

Units in Eleven80 are well soundproofed if you care about that.

Can you please explain your last sentence? Is $10/floor the charge for Amenities?
Also, thank you very much for your detailed review

Resident of Eleven80 for 18 months.
The quality of the units is great. Historic art deco building, the 2nd tallest building in Newark, and - as a former office building - the ceiling heights are great (~15 feet). Location is wonderful. Right next to Military Park, NJPAC, and Prudential Center. Compared to anything east, the price is a fraction less but on the uppermost end of what you'll find in Newark. I live car free with 2 train stations within walking distance and dozens more bus routes, allowing me to easily get anywhere in Newark and move in any cardinal direction for cheap. The Military Park light rail station is directly below the building with 3-5 minute intervals during rush hour, taking you quickly to Branch Brook Park and Newark Penn Station.
The amenities are also very good and are a mandatory $25 / person / month fee. Full gym, locker room, saunas, lounge with pool table bar TV and poker table, game room, (rarely working) bowling alley, and quarter-court basketball court
If you start seriously looking, they charge $10 / floor, so you can save $$ living on the 5th vs $25 floor.

Too many to choose from. It’s a local institution!

Hopefully it also looks good. A bridge doesn't have to be utilitarian.

This Nightlife Guide is understandably Ironbound heavy, but did mention Swahili Village which is a popular place and one of my preferred spots. It's usually crowded, at least on the bar side, from Thursday on. Bar Vanquish on Market Street also gets a good crowd on weekends. Lit 21 can get crowded depending on the party. The last couple times I've been they did a poor job with space allocation though. They opened up every area but only have enough people to fill one, so the place seems empty although there are a decent number of people there.
I stumbled into a party going on at bunkr on Halsey Street last night which was cool.
And, though not NightLife, Blueprint cafe has a DJ on Saturday. That place is a cool hangout and great food, especially for brunch (closed on Sundays I believe.)

Transit routes arent a matter of opinion. No one knows your exact origin and destination.

Yes I realize I can do this but it's better if I ask a local person for their opinions. Thank you for your input

I lived in 1180 for 3 years...I think many transplants start there before they get to know the city better. It's a great building, with a great staff and close to all downtown amenities plus arena and NJPAC districts and train....its woefully overpriced imo with no rent control. Walker House is a gorgeous building as well. I've only been inside one person's apartment. It was a tad small and seemed similar to 1180. But very nice and again, nice amenities. Close to NJPAC and Halsey but considerably farther from the Arena district.
