    Review Summary for Regency Towers
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 245 East 63 Street emphasize spacious apartments, excellent doormen, and a prime location near multiple subway lines as major positives. The building is generally clean with good pest control and friendly neighbors, offering amenities such as laundry, gym, and rooftop access—though the rooftop and courtyard remain closed or limited for extended periods. Maintenance responsiveness is inconsistent, often slow or unhelpful, with frequent plumbing and heating issues, especially air conditioning problems in summer. Noise levels vary, with some street noise concerns and thin walls reported. Management receives mixed feedback, ranging from professional to unresponsive or difficult, highlighting a need for improved tenant communication and building updates.

    Overall good apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Right off the F/M/Q, overall kind neighbors, spaces vary greatly depending on the unit. I have a huge walk in closet and nice view, so I can’t complain.
    Cons:
    The front desk is nosy, the basement is disgusting and greatly in need of renovation. The carpets and elevators need repair.
