Renter Q&A

Is noise from area ever an issue? How is the sound insulation of the apartments?

I'd say apartments below 15 or so facing 48th may get some noticeable street noise from the fire station & theaters sometimes, but nothing loud after 10pm or so. Anything facing inwards is real quiet. Lived on 20 facing 48 and 10 facing 49 and both were very quiet

Over 3 years ago

There is a fire station on the corner of the block that can be heard. The tourist noise from Times Square can’t be heard.

Over 3 years ago

As of now, the fire house and the building foundations being built on 47 are heard daily. Don't forget about the nonstop construction in house that is every day. I have lived here for two plus years and it's loud all the time.

Overall good experience

Pros

- Luxury building, so kind doormen that are helpful with packages - Good water pressure and modern amenities

Cons

- I am a deep sleeper but I will say not the best place to live noise wise. Fire trucks will blare at night. Elevators can take FOREVER. This is not the biggest issue with me since I leave in the early hours for work but I’m sure if you go to work at 9 AM with everyone it will take a while to get to you
