Worst place ever!

It's so far from subways, restaurants, grocery stores.
It's got really low ceilings and feels cramped.
It's got too many pets in the building.

But the worst part is the management. They've switched hands many times in the past 5 years but none have been close to normal, competent, or good business sensed.

The lower level guys aren't empowered to make decisions and any of the higher ups have no idea how to run a building. Tenants have stayed potentially out of discomfort of moving in NYC but overall, the building is not worth the money.

The view is nice but does not make up for what the apartment feels like. Everything is outdated, the floors are old faux wooden ones.

Amenities are the gym and lounge, but again, these do not make up for the poor management and cramped space.

Don't be fooled by the large entrance lobby with doormen.

Stay away!

Awesome Place!

I absolutely love this building and the unit. The unit itself is very spacious, and the rent is far lower than any comparable two bedroom apartments in midtown. The building responds immediately if there are any problems, and the doormen are very helpful and kind. The gym in the building is also great, and while it would be nice if membership was free, the fee is very affordable (~45/month). The only downside to this building is the location. It is very far west, but the building offers a free shuttle M-F that goes across town on 42nd street during AM and PM rush hour. It's frequent and very easy to use. The new 7 train stop on 34th and 11th is also helpful, but it is still about a 7 minute walk to the stop. The corner deli (Sunac) is great but a little pricey, and there is a Food Emporium and a liquor store very nearby. The building is also great for pets, as there is a doggy daycare right on the block.

About Midtown

Midtown is the central portion of the island of Manhattan. Within Midtown are many smaller neighborhoods, including Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, and Murray Hill.

I always feel safe and welcome. The people are very nice and talkative. The sights are truly remarkable and living in Midtown is an extraordinary experience, especially with the bar and restaurant scene, the entertainment scene, and so forth. Even Central Park is a wonderland to explore in itself and can be done freely. What's also a highlight about this location is the accessibility of places and people around you; everything is in walking distance, unless you're looking to venture to another area of New York City. You will never run out of places to explore and people to engage with, as people are always traveling to and from New York City - it is a melting pot of many cultures and ethnicities and one of the most diverse places in the world.
I LOVE living in Chelsea. It's close enough to the office so the commute isn't bad but there is so much good food and nightlife around you so you feel very connected socially.
Center of the Universe, between time square and central park.
For commute to school, the NYU shuttle is extremely convenient with travel time under 15mins.
Great bars and restaurants, and close to Central Park, but a distinct lack of affordable grocery options.
5 minute walk to Trader Joe's. Target in-building. Fairway 3 minute walk away. Several bars and restaurants nearby on Third Ave. 40 minute walk to Washington Square Park area. 10 minute walk to the closest subway (the 6), but there are bus lanes nearby. Incredibly close to two major hospitals (great during the COVID age, but lots of ambulance sirens).
See first thing I wrote. Kips bay/murray hill has a great bar and restaurant scene, very young. You don't really go out Friday/Saturday night here, not enough dancing type bars, but it's awesome for just about every other occasion. Central location for everywhere that you would go in any situation though.
Great food, bars, and people and very close to multiple modes of transport to easily get anywhere in the city. There are several bus stops right at your doorstep and a ferry about a two minute walk over on the Ave C side. Easy access to East River Walk for other activities and sports as well. Very easy to get to major hub at Union Square by foot or transport.
