Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Tenants at 211 West 56 Street praise its prime Midtown Manhattan location, clean and well-maintained building, and responsive, friendly staff including helpful doormen. Apartments are spacious with updated kitchens and new double-pane windows reducing street noise, though some noise remains due to busy surroundings. The building offers basic amenities without extras; the rooftop is underutilized and could benefit from relaxation features. Long-term issues include frequent elevator breakdowns, loud and prolonged facade maintenance, and steep rent increases with little negotiation. Some find interiors outdated and common areas dim. Overall, renters value the convenience and management responsiveness despite aging infrastructure and pricing concerns.
