Broker & Resident Comments

This "well-maintained" Chelsea residence earns praise for its "professional and attentive" staff and "prime location" near Penn Station. The "modern" building offers a "sufficient" gym and a rooftop deck with "nice views" of Madison Square Garden and Hudson Yards. Residents appreciate the "seamless experience" with "fast elevators" and "spotless" common areas, while the location provides "excellent access" to transportation and shopping. Though some note "thin walls," the "intimate feel" and "responsive maintenance" make this a "great place to call home."
