Broker & Resident Comments

This "pre-war behemoth" near Herald Square offers "unbeatable access" to eight subway lines and "vibrant" Korea Town nightlife. The building features "soaring ceilings" and "renovated units," plus amenities including a gym and rooftop terraces with "city views." While the "friendly doormen" earn praise, the building struggles with "dated infrastructure" and "maintenance challenges." The "prime location" at one of Manhattan's busiest intersections means "constant energy" but also "urban noise." Best for those seeking "transit convenience" who don't mind "basic accommodations" in exchange for a "central location."
