Broker & Resident Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This Upper West Side high-rise offers "generously proportioned" apartments with "well-designed layouts" and "impressive views". The building boasts a "complete amenities package" including an "indoor pool", "fitness center" and on-site laundry, though some note facilities "need updating". While the "safe location" and "spacious floor plans" draw residents, the "dated infrastructure" leads to "temperature control challenges" and "street noise issues". Service receives "mixed reviews" - some staff members are "helpful and courteous" while others provide "minimal assistance". "Basic finishes" and "variable maintenance" suggest a building that's "functional" rather than luxurious, but "competitive pricing" for the square footage keeps occupancy high.
