Recent reviews for 612 West 137 Street highlight its excellent location near the 1 train and Riverside Park, with reasonable-sized apartments for the price. Residents value the live-in super and generally responsive management. However, challenges include inadequate heating, varying pest control effectiveness, and lack of laundry facilities in the building.

Noise levels and neighbor interactions receive mixed feedback, while water pressure is generally satisfactory. Overall, the building offers good value for the location but would benefit from modernizing amenities and addressing heating and pest concerns.

Good location for the price

Pros

Really close to the 1 train stop. Good restaurants a block up on Amsterdam and loved how close it was to Riverside park. Decent sized apartment for the price and an excellent, live-in super. Management was always responsive.

Cons

Really need laundry in the building given that there aren't a ton of options nearby. Natural light in the units was pretty bad. The heat never felt like it was on in the winter.
