Lovely place close to subway
Pros
Easygoing and competent staff. Pool and gym that is always available. Apartment in great condition. Lots of light.
Cons
Loud noise from broadway No blackout blinds
Great condo building but assess noise level of specific unit
Pros
Overall we like the building: It's a reliable condo building but vet your specific unit since they are all different. -Amazing access to the 1/2/3 right across the street -Amenities: Gym is comprehensive though equipment is dated (no issues), lap pool in basement, outdoor courtyard & kids playroom. -Friendly building staff -Neighbors: We hardly hear them so either they are quiet or the walls are thick
Cons
Noise: - Our unit has poor noise insulation from the street (it's much louder than we've expected even though we're in a high floor). I've also been in a neighbors unit where the windows seemed different, so it may be unit specific. We have a very loud noise machine at night and that works for us. - Pipes "creaking" are LOUD during the winter. The noise machine does not mask these sounds, so they woke us up not infrequently a few times a week
