Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.
I lived at 1 University Place during my time in New York and really enjoyed it. The building has plenty of old-school character, though it's showing its age and could do with some updating. The big selling point is the space: the rooms are genuinely large by Manhattan standards, which made it feel like a proper home rather than a shoebox. The trade-off is the bathroom, which is tiny. Overall, a lovely place to live if you value space and character over modern finishes.
The other thing to know is that the apartment could get very, very hot all year round, so be prepared to keep the windows open, even in winter.
Doorman building Furnished lobby Large closets Art Deco design details Recently updated interior decor in hallways Great location near Washington Square Park Desirable neighborhood
Some services eliminated in the past 10 years. Doorman rarely uses intercom to check visitors. Deliveries from local eateries limited to lobby. Rare use of service entrance, 1 service elevator. Erratic elevator service (long waits, floor skipping.) Package room eliminated, packages parked in lobby.
Hold doorman accountable for important gate keeping.via intercom. Restore local food deliveries to our apartment doors. Comply with NYS law to consistently make due repairs/replacements and paint jobs. Manage communication professionally. There is little info about building-wide developments.
