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.
Kips Bay Court is a great option
Pros
Stable, reliable, responsive, great amenities. Gym is fine. Mailroom is great. Rooms and kitchens are huge. Balconies are great.
Cons
Walls are a little thin, and doormen aren't very personal. High lockout fees.
Advice to the owners
Solid place to rent
