Discussion about
Anyone have any opinions on this recently renovated building? I went to see a few apartments this past weekend and it seemed like a hotel: gorgeous gym, 360 degree roof deck, laundry on every floor, dry cleaner in lobby, completely renovated lobby and excellent location. Too good to be true? -- There did seem to be some disparity between the condition of apartments, though. Some were completely renovated with hardwood floor strips and some still had parque. Some has nice molding, while some had none. All of the kitchens and bathrooms we saw were renovated, though. Has anyone lived there? Tried to rent there? Any thoughts? Thanks!!!!
West 81st is true upper west side. Nice location.
Tried to rent there in '05. Onsite management basically promised me the apt, then never called back (convertible 3, high floor for 6k).
When I visited, the lobby smelled bad.
My concern after hearing rumors is that they get you in the building and renting for a low/decent price and jack up the rent the following year (almost to a point where it's funny and ridiculous). A conv 3 for $5400 sky-rocketing to $6400 the next year??? I don't think so ...
