Overview of Avalon Clinton at 515 West 52nd Street
Avalon Clinton is a 627 apartment rental complex organized around two angled 23 story towers with different rooflines and balcony configurations. Designed by Fox & Fowle and opened in 2007 as Archstone Clinton, the complex combines red brick masonry with broad glass façades, corner windows, a low rise wing, and landscaped mid-block passages.
Apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows, central air, and in-unit washers and dryers, while many extend to balconies or terraces. The height and surrounding low rise blocks open views toward Midtown and the Hudson River. Apartment 1816 is a distinctive duplex with a loft and terrace on its upper level, and pets are permitted.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, concierge, fitness center, roof gardens, residents lounges with kitchens, a library, screening room, and children’s playroom. An attended garage, on-site parking, valet service, and shared laundry facilities round out the service program.
The complex stretches from West 51st to West 53rd Streets west of Tenth Avenue, with Ninth Avenue’s restaurant corridor a few blocks east. The Theater District lies to the southeast, while Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle are to the northeast. Two nonprofit theaters and landscaped through block arcades are also incorporated into the property.
This "well-maintained" residential tower offers "breathtaking views" and "light-filled apartments" in a prime midtown location. Residents praise the "incredibly helpful" staff and "excellent amenities" including a "stunning roof deck" and fitness center. The "smoke-free environment" and "virtually sound-proof" units create a "peaceful oasis," though some note it's "a bit far from the subway." The "friendly community" and "safe environment" make it particularly appealing, while the "reasonable rent" for the area keeps residents renewing. "Beautiful apartments" with "great appliances" and proximity to Central Park and theater district round out the appeal of this "homey" residential choice.
