    Review Summary for 120 West 21 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 120 West 21 Street highlight a well-managed luxury building with highly responsive staff and excellent amenities, including a rooftop gym and spacious, modern apartments. Tenants appreciate the friendly doormen, cleanliness, and convenient location near Trader Joe's. However, recurring pest issues, especially roaches, have been a significant concern for some residents. Noise levels vary, with some noting street noise and lively neighbors due to apartment configurations appealing to younger tenants. Ongoing renovations have drawn criticism for delays and minimal improvements, while rising rents and occasional management lapses impact the overall experience. Despite some drawbacks, many recommend this full-service building for its comfort and amenities.

    Very Great Building

    Clean, but mostly flexed apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very clean, huge laundry room, easy for guests
    Cons:
    Very impersonal with the large number and rotating cast of doormen. Most apartments were flexed to 2-bedroom from 1, which gave the building a very young party vibe. The gym and rooftop were not well appointed with equipment/ furniture.
