Tenants appreciate the building’s cleanliness, well-functioning elevators, strong heat in winter, and decent water pressure. The building offers a generally quiet environment with good neighbors, though some street noise is noticeable. Pest control is active, yet occasional issues with roaches and bedbugs have occurred.

Overall a good place to live

Former Tenant

Pros:

The doormen are wonderful, and management is very responsive. The apartment was clean and neighbors were generally friendly and quiet. No broker fee.

Cons:

Have to pay for amenities like the gym. You can still hear street noise even on higher floors. Saw roaches a few times on the stairs and in the laundry room.
