My wife and I lived at Modera Lofts before kids but with a dog and loved it. The only thing it doesn’t have on your list is a pool. I have lived in a building with a pool in JC, and it’s not all it’s made out to be.
I think the Modera Lofts demographic will be what you’re looking for. Mostly people in their 30s and 40s, some with kids and some without. If we didn’t want to make the effort to buy a place we’d still be there.

Never an issue for us. We were on the 7th floor and someone told us once that there’s more noise on the 8th floor when people hang out on the roof, but we didn’t notice it.

Lived in Modera for about two years and absolutely loved it. The maintenance crew fixed items quickly, management was responsive, and we loved the amenities and industrial style. I would recommend trying to get a south facing apartment (on the front of the building) and you’ll get plenty of light. Amenities like the bike room, storage lockers, dog wash/dog run, and industrial laundry equipment were all added benefits.
As for the garage, it’s separately managed by another company, but any time I had an issue I would inform management and they were usually quick to take care of it. We really enjoyed having a valet and they were typically pretty quick in the morning.
No building will be perfect. There will be issues with elevators from time to to time, an amenity might be closed for one reason or another, or some gym equipment might be broken. Of the five rental buildings I’ve lived in the last 10 years this one was the best.

Only a neighbor who would BLAST music, but I think that would be a problem anywhere. Nothing after they moved out. I heard living on the top floor would get noisy since it’s right below the rooftop where people hang out, but we never had an issue.
