Review Summary for 505W37
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
The building at 505 West 37 Street boasts excellent management, responsive maintenance, and very clean, well-maintained common areas. Tenants enjoy a well-equipped gym, attentive doormen, and secure, pet-friendly premises. Spacious units with favorable layouts and floor-to-ceiling windows provide attractive views. While the noise level is generally low, occasional disturbances from nearby train tunnels and nightlife have been noted. The location is convenient to transit (notably the 7 line) and local amenities, though some find the neighborhood less appealing or a bit far from downtown Manhattan. Rent stability varies, with some units considered expensive but justified by amenities and service quality.
