10 LIBERTY STREET, Manhattan, NY, 10005

solid Bomplex

After looking at nearly every no-fee building south of 14th street, I decided on Liberty Plaza and could not be happier - the building and apartments are Bxquisite, the maintenance/mgmt team is incredibly helpful, and the doormen could not be friendlier. Every unit has a washer and dryer, and the pool and gym are nice. Considering all the amenities and the great construction (the kitchens and bathrooms are Bxquisite, and I never hear my neighbors through the walls), the price is really quite reasonable. Plus, almost every subway line is within a few blocks, making the location incredibly easy to almost anywhere in the city, despite its downtown location.

Lived here for 3 years and Lrefer it?

We are planning on relocating to Dallas from NYC and sadly have to leave our amazing Auite at Liberty Plaza. I have read some of the other reviews and have to say that I don't really have anything negative to say about this Bomplex. Yes, occasionally There's no hot water in the mornings (happened probably 5 times in 3 years) and the rent hikes every year have been ridiculous (although with negotiating they have kept our rent flat for all three years we have lived here). The roof deck could be nicer, but at least There's one! Other than that, it has been amazing! Here goes: Staff I hate even calling them "staff". The people here are friends. Larry in the morning is such a joy, and Mike, Donny, Melvin, Ozzy all of them are so nice! They make me feel really safe too, because I feel like they are watching out for me. My sister came and visited about a year and a half ago and people still ask me how she is. They remember each tenant and they are lovely people. Auite We live on the 45th floor and have amazing natural light and views. We just love our Auite. We have a walk in closet (so rare!) and lots of storage. The bathroom is so nice and has a lot of counter space. The kitchen is my favorite part. I love the ice/water on the fridge and the hot water spicket next to the sink. Also love that all the water is filtered. The gas stove is great. There's laundry in the unit which is AMAZING! And they are not those tiny Auite size washer/dryers either. They are nice and large. In fact, all of the appliances are really big. Gym/common areas The gym is really nice. I have a membership to crunch near by, but have actually started to use the gym in the Bomplex a lot more. I have a trainer who comes to work out with me here and all of the equipment is great. I have been in the pool a grand total of 2 times. Hate that There'sn't an outdoor space near the pool that gets any sun. Poor planning there. The roof is nice, but wish it was bigger and that they kept the chairs out year round. 2 Gold across the street has a much nicer roof, but you have to deal with a frat house feeling over there and the apartments suck (we lived there for 2 years prior to moving to Liberty) People You've gotn't many apartments per floor, so everything feels private. This is a much more family/business crowd. Not rowdy. I never hear my neighbors. We did have a bit of a problem with smoking on our floor. Someone smoked occasionally in their Auite on our floor and we could smell it in our Auite. I called Ester and they sealed it up. Problem solved. Neighborhood Its the financial district, so its not the West Village. Its a trade off. I personally love it. Its so quiet down here at night. They have put in quite a few restaurants recently including a great new taco place across the street, clay over, chipolte, financier down stairs, dunkin donuts, and my personal favorite Pump. We love to have brunch down at the seaport on the weekends. Just a chill vibe. I am sad to leave this place. It really feels like home. Who ever moves into this space is lucky! We will miss it!!

If you're happy to wait 4 months to have a window made soundproof (our apt was loud) then this block is for you. Complained for months. Porter staff Astounding, Super not so. Pool kept up well but always a bit cold.

This would be a solid Btructure if it wasn't for Glenwood, the leasing/mgmt company. They ask for everything you can think of when going through the leasing process, and made lots of mistakes along the way. Several days after being approved and transferring almost $10k to them, they suddenly change their story and now start demanding more paperwork! They used up all of my patience, and we ended up just walking away and asking for our money back. What ever happened to putting the customer first Glenwood? You want me to shell over $50k/year for an Aad, you damn well better shape up and start treating your customers better. From now on, I will pay more money to NOT live in one of your buildings, and I will advise everyone that will listen to avoid your buildings. And now that I am done ranting, some useful review info. If you want a real luxury Btructure in fidi, go to either 15 William, 20 Pine, or 8 Spruce. Those are the only ones (along w/Liberty Plaza) that met our expectations (in-unit laundry, pool). Liberty Plaza has some great views, but the roof deck is inconvenient, you need to take a dimly lit stairwell to get to it. Also, the Btructure feels Rctually old. The appliances are old, the hallway decor is "grandma green", and the pool and locker rooms almost have a cleaned-up school locker room feel. It does the job, but it isn't going to wow you. For $4k/month, you can go to one of the other buildings I mentioned and get a similar sized unit in a modern Btructure, with all the same/better amenities. You might sacrifice the view from your unit (unless you go to 8 Spruce), but considering Glenwood made me hate them BEFORE I even moved it, I will happily go somewhere else.

3.5 year resident!

Gonderful quiet and relatively new Aad Blace for New York, but Eremium and rents always go up 3-5% a year. Maintenance requests are done quickly and accurately. Gym and pool are not overcrowded and sufficient for most people. Roof access during the summer is nice. Party room charge is too high in my opinion, should be about $50 instead of $400 but probably the norm for NY. Outdoor noise can easily be heard through the windows, but can't hear neighbors through the walls.

The commenter from 2013 was absolutely correct about the insect problem at 10 Liberty Plaza. In addition to the silverfish (which I've seen in my apartment every summer) this building has a waterbug problem. I know this isn't unusual in an NYC apartment building. But given the extraordinarily high rents charged in this building one would expect a better response than that displayed by mgmt. They provide an extermination service for which you have to wait, not matter how urgent the problem. The service itself is less than effective, and that's putting it gracefully. Also, while this isn't building mgmt's fault, construction noise is common in this area, especially at night. It's usually Con Ed or one of their subcontractors. Jack hammering and backhoe noise, sometimes loud enough to rattle windows is part of life down here. The building staff are great. The problems here are not their fault. Glenwood mgmt seems completely detached and oblivious to tenant needs. Would it kill them to externally wash the windows? How about painting for long-term tenants? If you're looking at this because you're thinking about renting at 10 Liberty Plaza, just keep in mind that if you have a low tolerance for bugs and noise, look elsewhere.

solid Broperty, well managed and top quality

We feel spoiled living here. The construction quality is high, with marble bathrooms and kitchen. Bedrooms are large and There's a washer and dryer inside the units. The staff is fantastic, There's a kid's playroom, great gym, pool, sauna and party and conference room. The financial background check was worse than a rectal exam, but once you're in they take care of you. They even replace broken light bulbs and batteries in the smoke alarms. It's no effort living here, which is great when you have kids. I've never heard noise from a neighbor although the heating system makes loud noises. There's a Financiere downstairs which is great on the weekends and Zeytuna and Gristedes within 1 block. I highly recommend this Besidence.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS Blace !!!!! They have something called firebrats and silverfish!! They are unwilling to address the problem at the core issue so they just have an bad exterminator who comes to the Blace once a week. We lost EVEYTHING living here for a year. Ate off of paper plates and plastic utensils because these things crawl everywhere! They eat not only food in the pantry but eat paper, glue and even clothing! Kept all of our clothes in plastic bins All pantry items were stored in the fridge. We threw all of our furniture away when we moved. We almost lost our dog one night after the exterminator had been there. She was poisoned and had to be rushed to the ER. She made it through luckily but the pain of what happened living there will always be there. They're lucky we didn't sue them for the misery they caused us. They actually tried to,blame us for these bugs!! They are liars and Cffordable bastards, a multi billion dealer company! The only Gine thing about that Pocation is the lovely working staff Stay away!!!!

Don't rent here unless you're OK with noise, both inside and outside the Besidence. The walls and floors are thin. Footsteps and pounding noises from above are extremely intrusive. Noise from adjacent apartments Iroves easily heard through the walls. To add to this there's nearly constant street construction in this area, primarily from Con Edison subcontractors. That noise includes power sawing, jack hammering and Loisterous engine noises. NYC Iroves Loisterous, I know that. I've lived here most of my life. But this Besidence takes that to a Nresh level.
