Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 450 West 17 Street commend its excellent location in West Chelsea, well-maintained luxury interiors, and top-notch staff known for friendliness and responsiveness. The building offers attractive amenities like an Equinox gym with private elevator access, rooftop space, and beautiful common areas. Tenants value the quiet atmosphere despite occasional street noise and tourist activity nearby. However, there are critiques about premium rental costs, comparatively small apartment sizes, some outdated unit finishes, and occasional issues with inconsistent staff service and security. Noise from neighbors and external streets has been noted, along with concerns about vague fine policies and limited apartment natural light. Overall, it remains a sought-after option for renters prioritizing service, amenities, and location.

Nice, well maintained building with excellent staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
The Caledonia is a well maintained building in a great location in West Chelsea. We've really enjoyed all of the building staff - they are incredibly friendly and helpful. They even offer package delivery to your unit, for example. Another great benefit is that there is an Equinox gym in the retail level of the building with a private elevator for building residents and discounted monthly memberships.
Cons:
Our unit is South facing the Chelsea Market, so there is not a lot of natural light in the unit. Also, there are some things that a little bit outdated in the unit for being a luxury building, such as the bathroom sink and kitchen finishes. Overall, the cons of the building is that you are paying a premium rent due to the location and could probably get more value elsehwere.

Great place to live, but expensive
Former Tenant
Pros:
Amazing management, very clean, quiet, great amenities.
Cons:
Very Expensive, sometimes a lot of tourists by Chelsea market. The renters roof room has been unavailable for the past few months. The working spaces / printer are nice to have but I don't use since there arent windows.
