Laundry in building, elevator, most neighbors have lived there for a decade+, access to green space in stuytown, right by the L/TJ’s/Target/East Village
Cons:
It is soooo loud if your unit faces 1st avenue (I was in an A unit). Even on the higher levels, 9-10 stories up. Constant sirens from the nearby fire station and hospital. And I believe 1st Avenue is an ambulance route for NYU. I wore earplugs all the time. Would have to go on mute on Zoom calls during work when I heard sirens because they’d drown out the call. Living in a constant state of alarm is stressful for your body and bad for your health. Also we got lucky with our neighbors but the walls are very thin so pray you have quiet upstairs neighbors.
