Great place to live
Pros
Lots of open space - huge plaza right outside of building. Great views of east river and access to east river park and paths. Very quiet and peaceful; feels like you are outside of NYC.
Cons
Little bit out of the way and gets really cold in winter bc of wind.
Lived here for 9 years
Pros
Suburb within Manhattan
Cons
They raised up rent too much this year without consideration for long term tenants
