Broker & Resident Comments

Add Your Own Comment

This pre-war building offers "surprisingly spacious" apartments in a "prime Columbia University location" with "convenient access" to multiple subway lines, parks, and restaurants. While the "generously proportioned" units and "reasonable prices" draw tenants, the building suffers from "inconsistent maintenance" and "temperamental elevator service." The location "can't be beat" with proximity to "three parks" and "multiple transit options," making it a practical choice for those prioritizing space and location over luxury amenities.
