Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 121 Madison Avenue emphasize its prime Manhattan location, attentive and friendly staff including doormen and supers, and well-maintained amenities such as package areas, laundry, and rooftop access. Many tenants appreciate spacious apartments with pre-war charm and good water pressure. However, challenges include noise from street and nearby construction, occasional pest issues especially roaches, slow elevators, and dated building infrastructure.

Renter Q&A

How kid friendly is this building?

Over 3 years ago

The folks who live here tend to be young professionals. I didn't see many families/kids in the building from when I lived there, though that does not mean it's not kid friendly. Just a note, if your kids are quite young (i.e., in a stroller), the front door swings outwards (not mechanized) and then you have to go up 3-4 stair steps to get to the main lobby / elevator level.
