Great building with large studio apartments
Pros
This building has wonderful views from the 46th/47th floor and the rooftop. It's an excellent location as well. The studio unit I stayed in was quite large by NYC standards and I was able to have separation from my bed to my living area.
Cons
If you are a renter, it may be hard to feel like you "belong" since it's mostly condo owners living there and many for a long time. My unit was sold and I had to move out. Like much of the UES, this building has many children and many older residents. The doormen are friendly. I wish I could have a situation where I was not always walking past them to enter, but that is more a personal preference and this was my first time living in a doorman building. You may hear some noise from 2nd avenue. I always had the fan on for white noise so it never affected me, but I could see it being noticable on lower floors than mine. The "common areas" feel dated but they are soon to be modernized.
