Difficult to Deal With
Former Tenant
Pros:
The maintenance team is professional.
Cons:
Management office is awful and has no common sense. I had to pay 8 days rent while not being allowed to move in because the elevator was reserved. Then, I had to move out 5 days early and pay rent because the elevator was reserved. Rent increase was excessive.

Good while I lived here, but not sad to leave
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff are (mostly) super friendly and helpful, and maintenance requests are always handled quickly.
Cons:
I feel a little old living here, sometimes it feels like a frat house. The building management company also has SO many dumb rules (gym and roof aren't included in rent, charging insane fees to transfer leaseholders, shutting off water/laundry a lot and not telling tenants the correct days).

Love it here
Former Tenant
Pros:
Wonderful doormen, great views, spacious apartments, beautiful lobby, building events, pool in gym
Cons:
Large property manager mentality, does not budge for most requests like rent reduction and always difficult when moving out. You have to pay to use the roof $60/mo. Weird rules like you can’t bring your dog through the lobby, you have to pick them up. If Uber delivery driver doesn’t have Uber ID they don’t allow them up to your apartment. Not enough closet space if living with someone in a one bedroom.

It’s all young post grad kids so if that’s you it’s fun. Very pretty building and good packages and nice staff. We’ll kept

Loved Windsor Court

The management company can be a bit frustrating to work with if there’s an issue but not as bad as some reviews I had read

Overall great place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
*Amenities - laundry/trash chute on every floor, health club (gym, pool, rooftop), 24-hour doormen/security (really nice people!), package room w/email notifications; circle drive makes it easy for Uber & move-in/out (small stuff, not furniture which needs to go through service entrance); parking garage private building access after-hours - great for when the parents come into town and you get back from dinner late! *Responsive maintenance team - ie toilet fixes, new fridge request, broken cabinet, etc all fixed within a day. Also thought I might have bedbugs: called mgmt, they sent someone up within an hour to do an initial check which looked all clear, but then they called an exterminator to do a more thorough check with dog the next morning just in case, no charge to me (all clear!).
Cons:
Health club costs extra (although it's cheaper than a lot of gyms in the city with similar equipment); strict rules for rooftop access (have to be a health club member, no guests, no access after dusk, no food/alcohol)
Advice to owner:
Revise rooftop rules - free and available to all residents no matter if health club members, rethink guest access and nighttime access

Great first apartment
Former Tenant

You get what you pay for
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doormen Package room Convenient location Responsive maintenance Affordable laundry
Cons:
Attitude from staff Management very standoffish Had a few cockroaches over 2 years Alll young 20 somethings in the building so there is often noise
Over 1 year ago
Fine but overpriced
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff are helpful and maintenance issues are generally addressed quickly. Thick walls so it’s quiet.
Cons:
Overpriced for what you get. Roof deck is part of health club so you need a paid membership and paid passes for guests. Shutoffs (like water tank cleaning and trash chute maintenance) sometimes take longer than stated without updates.
Over 2 years ago
Strict but fair
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very clean, great maintenance crew. Easy to have maintenance come fix issues and they are very timely. Apartment floors are kept very clean and are maintained on a regular basis.
Cons:
Very strict about move-in and move-out, to the point that they will yell at you if you attempt to move anything through the lobby or service entrance without the proper paperwork. Just make sure you are very organized and have all the proper documentation (you and the moving company) before setting up the move-in or move-out time.
Advice to owner:
Ease up on moving rules

The building is full of young people so it is not the most quiet place for young families and students.

Windsor Court Review
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice lobby; package room well kept; good maintenance services
Cons:
Building management is incredibly strict; makes moving in and moving out quite difficult; no sublets allowed; tons of rules and regulations they do not tell you about; weird guest policy on the roof; no alcoholic beverages allowed on the roof; the list goes on and on
Advice to owner:
Reduce rules and regulations for residents

Frat house
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff (doormen) are friendly (can't be said about management staff). Despite the building being a complete frat house, surprisingly zero noise issues. It is a young building, but a good value for the money (nice enough amenities, rooftop, etc).
Cons:
Management is awful. Rudest people I've ever interacted with. They're nice when you're moving in, and then the next day become evil. Very scummy land lord. E.g.: didn't give me my security deposit until I asked 3 times (clearly though I'd just forget about it??); refused to give me a keyfob to get into the gym even though I had started paying the gym fees two months before. Negotiating on the renewal was impossible - the tenants are powerless and the landlord knows it. Everyone who lives here is under 25, so know what you're getting into. Half of the building has been redone and is actually nice, the other half is still stuck in the 90s.

Good and bad
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great doormen, awesome package room, clean, fancy looking, emails for packages, elevators, laundry and garbage chutes on each floor, great water pressure
Cons:
They charge for access to the roof (you need a gym membership which is super expensive) guests to the roof pay $20, which is ridiculous, delivery gets dropped off a the service entrance which is hard for some delivery restaurants to understand. was a crapton of construction for a few weeks making working from home unbearable. they charge 3 months rent to break your lease where the NYC standard is typically 2 months. people slam doors and you can hear it in your living room
Advice to owner:
allow 2 months rent to break lease, make the rooftop access cheaper
Over 2 years ago
Amazing Place to Live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great storage space, amazing views, clean and well kept
Cons:
Gym and rooftop isn’t free, management can be slow to respond
Advice to owner:
Free gym, better responses from management about issues other than maintenance
