“Pros: Beautiful river views. Well-staffed. Building is clean and well-managed. Apartments are large and pin drop quiet. Lots of amenities. Neighbors are friendly. Great closet space. Very clean. Cons: Bike storage is vertical and a bit of a pain if you’re small or lack strength. It’s a bit of a walk to catch a train at Columbus. Shuttle helps, but it’s only during rush hour during the week. Advice to landlord: More shuttle bus hours like other properties in the neighborhood.”

— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: very modern great handymans clean & new super friendly staff great amenities Cons: lots of students have to pay for amenities far out (near 12th ave), however they provide a shuttle to columbus circle”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: I cannot think of a bad thing to say about this building. It is managed very professionally, the apartment was spotless and well maintained when I moved in and the front desk staff are amazing. Wonderful amenities too! Cons: I never want to leave! The shuttle bus was only Monday to Friday which was a pain but now they’ve extended it to weekends too which is great. People whine about the distance to the subway but the M57 crosstown bus is right outside the door and takes you to Columbus Circle where you can catch the subway - the free shuttle takes you right there too! Advice to landlord: The rents are a little on the high side especially for studios and one bedrooms but you get what you pay for! Please please do something about the tenants that stick crap on their front doors - I’m talking about decorations which are tacky and detract from the building.”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: New and relatively clean, close to Riverside Park Cons: Oddly shaped layout. Not on the most interesting block and a bit far to the subway.”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: great location! just steps away from the border entrance to Hudson River and Riverside Parks. This building has very nice common areas and is well-designed.

— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Clean building, helpful and attentive staff, great location which is right by the water. Cons: The real con is lease renewals, it jumped obviously, but as we move into the off-season I’m not sure they would have someone to fill the apartment. Advice to landlord: Take tenant circumstances under account in terms of lease renewals.”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Amenities, staff are too notch. Cons: Great building but a renewals are hard to work with.”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: The amenities especially the garden Cons: Long hallways and the movie theater closed Advice to landlord: Keep up the good work”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great front desk staff, apartments are well maintained, good communication about issues Cons: Amentities are overpriced Blinds are terrible and do not block out sunshine! Runners can take long to deliver food (policy, not their fault) Advice to landlord: Some residents treat the hallways like their person space- very frustrating New blinds- current ones are useless”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Building is very clean, and the doormen are friendly and always greet you. The facilities were always clean, and rarely used. Cons: The apartments are market rate. Come time to renew, our gross rent price increased 10%. If this will be a deal breaker for you, expect to move out once your lease term is up. We also had a terrible upstairs neighbor who would run on their treadmill at very early hours, btwn 4-6am. Building management didn't do anything.”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great location. Great management. Building staff is responsive. Building is still new and well cared for. The amenities are worth it. Cons: It is far from the train but there are shuttle vans Monday-Friday in the morning and late afternoon/evening”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Lovely apartments, great views, quiet and peaceful, great view over the Hudson, good gym (and rarely busy), friendly and professional staff. Cons: The leasing office is awful when renewing. They definitely couldn’t care less if existing tenants renew or not. I didn’t want to move out but they were unwilling to be reasonable upon renewing in the middle of Covid, when rents had collapsed everywhere. They ended up leasing my apartment for much less than I was willing to pay and about 3 months after I moved out. Advice to landlord: Incentivize the leasing office to renew existing tenants.”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Design, neighborhood, quiet, great amenities, responsive maintenance team, composting! Cons: Rents should have been lowered during covid - as an overall policy! Advice to landlord: Allow us to buy or rent to own”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Has a pool, clean building, no bugs or rats Cons: Expensive otherwise no cons Advice to landlord: I’d say that you should consider lowering the rent during covid time”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Front desk staff. Maintenance. Sound proof walls. Leasing office. Gym. Cons: Curtains don’t block sunlight. Advice to landlord: Maintain transparency in leasing negotiations.”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Clean, friendly staff, nice finished Cons: Far from Subway Advice to landlord: Be more communicative about repairs”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Modern, beautiful building Cons: Elevators are awful!!! Advice to landlord: Use all of the elevators you have, ALL OF THEM...not just a select few. You have 4 in the main lobby but only 2 are ever on..There are ALWAYS lines getting on the elevator. And when there are not, the elevator takes FOREVER to arrive, sometimes skipping my floor altogether leaving me waiting around for another elevator...it’s maddening and with covid, this makes it IMPOSSIBLE to distance because people are so fed up with waiting 15minutes +, we all pile into the next available elevator....”
— 625 WEST 57 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Really great noise insulation from neighbors, everything in the building is kept clean and well put together, lots of amenities (that I haven’t seen most of due to COVID) and responsive management team with super friendly staff throughout the place! Cons: There are a ton of flys constantly all summer long, it’d be nice to have screens on the window to avoid them Advice to landlord: Screens, or other tools to mitigate the severity of bugs flying in, we couldn’t leave the windows open for too long without a big fly coming in. Otherwise keep up the lovey building, staff have been amazing and all so friendly/helpful”
