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.
