Pros: Excellent location, very close to the subway station. Good security. You can only access your own floor. If you need to visit a different floor, you must ask the front desk to unlock the elevator for you, and they are always responsible and helpful. Nice gym and apartment facilities. Maintenance is very responsive. If you report an issue (e.g., blocked sink), they usually send someone to fix it the next day. Very quick service. Cons: The leasing office and management team can be very unresponsive. Be prepared to send multiple emails before getting a reply. Quite frustrating.

Pros: Overall this is a great building. The reason I am moving is to be closer to friends and work in another borough. * Well-maintained building, newly built (2017). * Incredibly quiet unit. I happened to live next in a 1BR unit right off the elevator. I never heard noise from the elevator or from neighboring units through the walls. In the livingroom, you can hear when people are talking into the hall; and be aware that if a loud neighbor lives directly across from you (or a loud dog), you will probably hear that occasionally. But overall noise levels here were great. * Friendly doormen, have had a number of extended chats. * Windows isolated noise very well when closed. * Management was prompt to respond & make corrections when I encountered issues with the lease renewal online. * W/D in unit. * No broker fee. * Good water pressure, always hot. * Water included in the rent, at least for my apt. Electric bill was $30-40 / month. I never used gas, so can't comment on that. Cons: * The sink has full-size cabinets over it. I am about 6'2", I have to bend over awkwardly so as not to hit my head when doing dishes. I've never seen a kitchen set up this way. * Kitchen/counter space is quite limited. * Train noise: the several subway lines run above ground right next to this apartment complex. Not practical for me to sleep with the windows open, which I would prefer. * The heat works too well. When I left the heat off / windows closed in my unit in the colder months, the temperature was still in the upper 70s Fahrenheit. Given the train noise nearby, that meant using the A/C in the Winter, which doesn't make much sense. And while the building cools the halls during the Summer, this does not make its way into the apartment, so A/C is necessary year-round, except maybe for some times in Spring/Autumn. * Air conditioners have an odd design; they are not in-wall, but they are large units that take up a lot of space by the window, are a bit noisy for my taste, and can be finicky. Also because the building is so good at generating heat, they have to work harder to account for that. * Management was slow to respond when I initially moved into the building. * I put in requests asking for handymen to address a malfunctioning card reader on my door – not a problem, that sort of thing happens. But I explicitly asked them to let me know in advance what days/times would work so that I could be at my apartment, and instead I kept getting notices that they had tried to visit my apartment but left because I was not there to allow them in. Eventually I figured out what time of day they tended to show up and made myself available at that time, but better communication here would have been nice. * In the event that the card reader does stop working, opening the doors with a manual key is a pain. * Access to the amenity complex is about $140/month; seems a bit much compared to what I've seen elsewhere? Though their amenity complex is supposedly pretty unique. * The bathroom sink is flat, thus there is constantly standing water in it which brings more of a maintenance/cleaning burden.

Unit 10B Pros: This building made me feel like I was in Metropolis Cons: Non smoking building, but some would smoke and come through vents. Advice to landlord: be stricter with your younger tenants.

Pros: You can get whatever you expect to have for a luxury apartment here. Nice facilities and doorman. Cons: Noisy. It's too close to the subway to avoid.
