Tenants often praise the friendly, responsive staff, doormen, and maintenance teams across multiple locations, highlighting cleanliness and well-maintained common areas. Several buildings are noted for good amenities and convenient locations.

Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Decent Apartment , Good Location

Pros

- amenities are great (post COVID) - concierge, maintenance, and staff are friendly and helpful - friendly neighbors

Cons

UPDATE - 3/7/2025 - Constant construction and power outages to deal with an issue stemming from an electric fire in August 2024 - 3+ full day power outages - All day noise - permit runs through June 2025 - Management is not responsive - occasionally hot water will go out and become lukewarm (seems to happen about once per month) - because packages must be checked in at concierge, it may be a bit after delivery before you can pick them up

Advice to the owners

Well maintained building central to subway lines

Pros

- Clean and commons areas always smell good and cleaned - Trash chute and recycle is always disposed of timely - Maintenance responds quickly (day of) and fixes things - Good insulation double paned windows

Cons

- Personal preference but I live in a studio and only have one window so can get stuffy - Wish the bathroom vent was stronger
