Broker & Buyer Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This "value-focused" Midtown residence offers "surprisingly spacious" apartments in an "ultra-convenient" location between Park and Lexington. While "light on amenities," residents appreciate the "wallet-friendly" common charges and the "generous floor plans." The "prime location" puts you "steps from major banks" making it a "solid investment" for both owners and renters.
