140 Seneca Way

I love my apartment and hope to stay all 3 years. The management team is responsive and easy to access, and the location of the apartment is fantastic. My only complaint is the cost. I wish they covered more in the way of utilities, I feel nickeled and dimed given how steep the rent is. Granted, it's downtown Ithaca and all the apartments are expensive, and the units in this building are particularly big, considering how much adjacent buildings charge. But I still wish that more was included in the rent. Otherwise, extremely happy with everything about this building.

140 Seneca is a renovated and semi-managed property located in downtown Ithaca, and the nearest managed building to Cornell's campus. Many of my classmates and friends say they either "wished they rented in our building" or are planning to move into our building. My roommate and I feel that our apartment is the best value in Ithaca because it is an 1800 sqft, modern/renovated 2 bed/2 bath unit, and the building has basic amenities like a rooftop and gym in addition to being located in the middle of everything.

Management company a little slow with inquiries at times. Maintenance is fairly quick. Great size apartments with updated amenities. Building is mostly filled with MBA’s/other grad students.

Good Apartment

Very nice apartment units, but the building isn't anything special. But it comes with free parking, a storage locker, and access to the little gym. So I recommend it.

Great place to live. very spacious

The apartments are very spacious (1-bed apartments are upwards of 900 square feet and 2-bed apartments are upwards of 1600 square feet). Building management is not responsive though and it takes quite a long time to get anything repaired properly, etc.

The cost does not make up for what you get.

The apartments themselves are big and nice. And it's great to have parking and a storage unit included. There is a very small gym, but it isn't well kept and it took them nearly 2 months to have the air conditioning turned on, only after I had to badger them often. There is a small, but fine 5th floor shared outdoor space. I think it's a pretty good deal for your money. If you can reach maintenance, they're very helpful.

Lots of MBAs in the building and great price/square foot ratio.

One of the better downtown locations (closer to campus than the other end).

Amenities are not bad although basic (gym has basic equipment only, rooftop is nice but not the best in the area).

Building management is not the best at communicating (takes some time to get help).
