RIVER TOWER OWNER, LLC · avg 4.4 ★★★★★ · New York City
“Pros: - Modern finishes in the kitchen and bathroom - Amazing rooftop - Fitness center that's well equipped - Sun drenched apartment with view of the East River - Proximity to transit - Tranquil neighborhood - The doormen are amazing - Maintenance is lightning fast with fixing any issues in the apartment Cons: - We're in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom and it's a bit on the pricy side - The unit we're in is a bit small - We're up for a lease renewal and they increased the rent by 8.8%”
— 420 EAST 54 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Great accessibility across uptown and downtown, good building considering the older neighborhood, good rooftop views, in door washer dryer, friendly doormans. Cons: it’s an older building and changed management last year - feels like amenities are outdated - thin windows that leaks air, noisy old PTAC units makes it hard to sleep during summer, and new management increase the rent for old tenants.”
— 420 EAST 54 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 706 Pros: great staff, terrifice rooftop and 5 elevators with gym and great outdoor space Cons: not a ton of light on lower floors”
— 420 EAST 54 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Nice staff, nice lobby, good views from rooftop and decent gym facility Cons: Small sized rooms for the price”
“Pros: Recently renovated units, the kitchen and bathrooms are especially beautiful and nice. Kitchen appliances (stove, fridge, microwave) are very modern and beautiful. In-unit washer/dryer Quiet Friendly doormen Rooftop is beautiful with great views Easy access to the new East River Greenway Cons: Expensive, even when considering the amenities, I don't think it's worth the price for how little space you get Construction seems questionable in some aspects. None of the doors inside the unit actually fully latch closed except the door to the bedroom which only closes if you hold the door handle at a very specific angle and force. Also, none of the doors have locks (not even the bathroom) No central air, I know that's a rarity in Manhattan anyway but it hurts when you're paying this much Amenities fees (gym and rooftop) are mandatory even if you don't use them The elevator doors close VERY quickly to the point you basically need to speed walk as soon as they open, which can make it stressful to use--I can see this being a problem if you have any kind of mobility issue”
— 420 EAST 54 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Really nice building, the doormen and building staff are excellent and some of the best in the City. Renovated apartments are nice. Cons: Rent keeps going up 10% a year. The rent hikes are getting out of hand, they get people in in the door and then raise your rent to no end.”

— 420 EAST 54 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 1413 Pros: The doormen/women we're always sweet and helpful. Great to see them throughout the day. Cons: Management had this lady named Sheeri. Very rude lady, you could tell she did not know what she was doing when it came to her job. Advice to landlord: Would be great if this building had a more capable manager. Sheeri was just terrible in so many ways.”
— 420 EAST 54 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Staff is great, common areas are cleaned regularly Cons: Roof deck and gyms not in the best shape. 1/2 of the BBQs haven’t worked in about a year. Equipment from the gyms has been missing since start of the pandemic. The roof deck furniture is incomplete (missing cushions). Easy fixes but they need to be addressed.”
