Solid, Residential Area, but Actively Modernizing & A Bit Far
Pros
This is for 510 2nd Ave in Kips Bay Court (open igloo does not recognize). Responsive with complaints and maintenance. Reasonable rent (3 Bed/2Bath for $6900 in 2022). Very nice living room & flex room windows, views, and balcony. Kitchen is modern. Residential area (Trader Joe’s, AMC, M15, access to East River).
Cons
Noise from modernization and Hospital/Fire Trucks along 2nd Ave (510 specifically). Flex is half size of the other BR. Rent raised each year ~$200. Basketball/Tennis court is worn.
Advice to the owners
Don’t advertise unavailable amenities. Flag their unavailability and prorate it.
Good but pricey
Pros
The apartment itself was nice and renovated, maintenance was very responsive and fast
Cons
Under constant construction, drilling into the walls outside lasted for months, loud since it is near the hospital, the rent is charged at a “luxury” price but the building has no luxury amenities
