Overall great apartment
Pros
Great location, good neighbors, large apartments
Cons
Could sometimes hear upstairs neighbors and fire trucks (station on next street over); this didn’t bug me all that much but if you need absolute quiet this probably isn’t the apartment for you
great apartment in a terrible neighborhood
Pros
This is a clean, well maintained and modern building. You would be hard pressed to get better value for your money in this area. The super and staff are all very nice and the neighbors have never bothered us. There is a huge roof that can be used for events free of charge. They have a great package retrieval system (for online orders and deliveries) and are very responsive to fixing issues.
Cons
Unfortunately, this neighborhood is extremely loud and quiet dirty. W 37th st feeds directly to the Lincoln tunnel so there is a constant stream of traffic. There are many 18 wheelers that drive on this street overnight and sometimes the get in honking battles with each other. I have woken up to the sound of incessant honking at 2-3am more than 5 times. Additionally, this street is quite gross. There is always trash / used needles laying around. There is a constant stream of unhoused people since there is a safe injection clinic at the corner of the street. Additionally, there is a massive warehouse for bottles at the end of the street so they are always taking up the sidewalk for deliveries and maintenance. Living on this street feels so hectic and overwhelming. We have decided to leave this neighborhood to find a more peaceful place to live in
Advice to the owners
You guys are in a tough spot - I know you are trying your best but unfortunately this neighborhood is turning into a massive dump
