Pros: Wonderful doormen/concierge/staff/maintenance, extremely friendly and helpful. Great at managing packages. You can get things fixed pretty much immediately. Can't hear anything above and below you. Really great kitchen and bathroom. Large for a one bedroom. Cons: Can hear next door neighbors sometimes. Once in awhile, there is construction. AC units are OK but don't work perfectly. Expensive now but probably on market. Neighborhood-wise, this block often feels kind of sketchy.

Pros: Management is solid. Supers are good. Rooms are good and very soundproof. Views are amazing. Location is central. Doormen are super friendly. Cons: Amenities are pretty non-existent. The biggest issue is the surrounding area is awful. Port authority spills over and the homeless are extremely hostile. The area is loud, dirty, and terrible.

Pros: Doormen are very friendly and helpful Cons: If you live in the lower tower, you are less likely to encounter issues with the water. But even the lower towers, the bath water will be a bit brown/yellow if they are doing work on it or it hasn't been turned on in a while.

Pros: Ivy Tower is split into two buildings (one with 8 floors, second with 45 floors). They have separate elevators; shorter one has access to the roof; taller building has the laundry, lounge, and gym. For $150/year per unit, you get a key fob to access the gym and lounge. The gym is equipped with a decent amount of equipment and TVs. Lounge room has a pool table, desks, and unlimited coffee from espresso machine. Laundry requires a separate card to pre-load funds. They recently replaced several machines in 2022. I never had a problem securing a machine for washing/drying. The building allows for flex walls to built in your room and allows for multiple people to pay for rent in the same unit. The building also has a community board for job postings, sales, inquiries of those in the building. Building management is located on the ground floor. Staff are all super friendly and the doormen will know you by name. Cons: I lived in a corner unit on the 19th floor that did not have much noise from neighborhoods or street (despite the close vicinity of one of the busiest intersections in the city). If you open your windows, it will be really loud and they also don’t have screens!! Did not have any pest/rodent problems. Maintenance requests were usually saw in a day or two. Intercom ringing can be really loud and disrupt roommates. The building has access to rooftop but it’s only on the 8th FL (not the tall side).

Pros: Really friendly doorman, helpful team on site and great amenities. Cons: You have to pay an annual fee for the amenities. Advice to landlord: Keep your doormen because youre amazing and easily the best part of this apartment!

Pros: * front desk security people knows everyone's faces * leasing office is very responsive over email * elevators are fast once you are in them * no rooftop on the tall building, but on the mini tower (5 or 6 stories), there's a rooftop * apartments don't come with blinds Cons: * when all 3 elevators are working, things move quite quickly, but for several months, there were only 2 and sometimes only 1 elevator available for a 45 floor building + penthouses which means it would take 5-10 minutes to get in the elevator sometimes * garden and outdoor deck were closed most of the year Advice to landlord: you should live here!
