34-46 Vernon Boulevard,

Queens, NY 11106

Has a pool, and the gym is pretty amazing.
Neighbors are generally nice, but some floors can be very loud, while others are practically silent.
Any sized animal allowed (many large dogs).
A lot of community events to get to know your neighbors.
Lets you paint the apartment!
Washer/dryer in unit in every unit (honestly, game changer).

Took 2.5 years to open the (promised) pool.
Slow management response time.
Neighbors can be bad at cleaning up pet accidents.
The complimentary shuttle only runs on the half-hour Monday-Friday 7am-10:30am & 4pm-6:30pm. The amount of Ubers/Lyfts we have had to order because we are coming home after 6:30pm or leaving the house on the weekends is INSANE.
Some neighbors have had extreme mold issues surrounding their AC units/balcony doors.

Every unit has a washer, dryer, and dishwasher — and there’s also a laundromat (though it’s a bit pricey). Balcony for every unit is a nice touch, too!

24/7 concierge is great! Staff are all kind and nice. Management makes sure building is ALWAYS cleaned by custodian. Super is always helpful, in our experience.

Rent-stabilized building so prices aren’t too absurd

We don’t use the shuttle often but good to know it’s there if we need to go to Queensboro Plaza on weekdays

Gym is well-equipped and quite nice

Pet-friendly

Fun little activities hosted by building management - weekly wine night, once a month mixology class, workout classes

Lousy neighbors who don’t pick up after their dogs - they leave dog poop all over the promenade. Building management used to get their staff to pick up the dog poop but i think they have stopped doing this since it’s not really their job to clean up after the owners’ pets. Some really lousy neighbors we have

Some strange people live in this building - sometimes these neighbors just yell at other people for no reason, or do outlandish stuff like pulling down their pants in front of you (yikes)

Wood floors have large gaps that did not get fixed prior to our move-in. We’ve seen older apartment buildings with better floors than us.

Not-so-great ventilation in bathrooms and the bathroom fans for certain floors are always on (no way to turn it off and yet it doesn’t suck out moisture from the bathroom well)
