Best Apartment I’ve Lived In
Pros
Large living room space, large bathroom, gym downstairs, 3 elevator, Jacky (Door person) and her family are the best and super sweet, never had a package stolen in the 3 years I’ve lived here, super is very responsive M-F and for emergencies on weekends, repairs are handled quickly, I don’t hear my neighbors often, laundry is basement is cleaned regularly, never seen a bug, prices are much better than what you can get in Manhattan, management is responsive and quick to send renewed leases, they have a physical office in Manhattan if you need to speak to anyone, location is UNBEATABLE (5 min walk to EMR lines, 7 min to NW7, grocery stores, etc.), random but two entrances on opposite roads is also nice haha
Cons
Rent goes up every year. I have a good relationship with management and have been able to negotiate, but annoying that it always goes up. Game room downstairs dated and smells moldy, no wipes in gym, elevators break sometimes, rooftop unfinished, no windows in living room, funky kitchen haha was updated but has quickly things (counter top stove that isn’t functional), no dishwasher in older units, bedrooms do not have closets
Advice to the owners
Consider multiple year leases
Not many complaints
Pros
Spacious. Older, but solid. Jackie at the front desk is just lovely. Renovated gym with free access. Lots of counter space. Sound insulation from other units.
Cons
No storage under bathroom sink. AC unit was kinda loud (window unit). Can hear sirens, especially when firetrucks get stuck on the back street.
