AnhTest Cozy Upper East Side Spot with Basic Amenities
Pros
The building is situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, a neighborhood known for its quiet, residential charm and close proximity to Central Park and the East River. Public transportation is convenient, with the Q and 6 trains nearby, making it easy to commute to other parts of Manhattan. Apartments are reasonably priced for the area, making this a more affordable option on the Upper East Side while still offering decent space. The neighborhood is filled with cafes, grocery stores, and boutiques, giving residents easy access to everything they need within walking distance. The building has a classic New York charm, with pre-war details in many units, such as high ceilings and hardwood floors.
Cons
The building is older and lacks amenities like a gym, elevator, or on-site laundry, which may be inconvenient for those used to more full-service buildings. Noise from the street can be an issue, particularly for lower-floor units, as the area gets busy during peak hours. Some apartments have older appliances and fixtures that could benefit from updates to improve overall comfort.
1.5 years since I moved out - still fighting for my security deposit back
Pros
Close proximity to restaurants
Cons
Everything else - landlord does not care about his tenants. I have been trying to get in touch with management for over a year to receive my security deposit. They have not returned my emails and have been dodging my calls. I finally got the personal cell number of the landlord and he picked up and said “leave me alone” and hung up. What he fails to understand is that he has $2,300 of my money. I am not the only previous tenant having issues with “friendly associates”, and I know his previous brokerage stopped working with him due to his work ethic. I very highly discourage moving here unless you want to give away your hard earned money for no apparent reason.
