    Review Summary for River Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 650 West 42 Street praise the building's cleanliness, spacious units, and professional, friendly staff including doormen and maintenance, highlighting quick issue resolution. Amenities such as a gym, pool, courts, and outdoor spaces add value, though many are expensive and not included in rent. While the building's location offers great river views, it is distant from subways, impacting transit convenience. Some renters report noise and neighbor-related disturbances, including smoking and disruptive behavior. Management is generally responsive but criticized for inflexibility and occasional rent hikes. Overall, it's well-maintained with strong community aspects but renters should weigh added costs and neighborhood factors.

    A solid if overpriced apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doormen/women are lovely, mail service is so simple, gym access is easy
    Cons:
    Gym price is kind of pricey, as are utilities. Laundry access is such that dozens of apts share 3 washers/3 dryers
