Nice, but pricy

Pros:
Units are relatively large, maintenance people and doormen are responsive, efficient, and kind. Updated appliances, very clean building. Amenities are great (gym, study space, kids room, and beautiful roof overlooking downtown manhattan and the Hudson river.) Friendly neighbors and an Amazon hub in the building. Easy walk to Fordham--only takes about 10-15 minutes. Building also has a shuttle that runs to Columbus Circle that is clean, timely, and efficient.

Cons:
Very expensive, relatively far from the subway (but the bus system and shuttle help make up for it). Can be a little noisy if you're on a lower floor or on the street side, since it's located at an intersection, but very quiet above the 10th floor or facing the other way. Also not a great bar or restaurant scene immediately close, but getting to the upper west side or downtown is very easy. Previously had a couple of issues with the AC, but they were all replaced this summer so that shouldn't be an issue anymore (and maintenance was really timely fixing it every time.)

Expensive, but worth it for 1L to be so close to the law school.

Reviewed by Fordham Law Student living at Wilshire Plaza
I always feel safe and welcome. The people are very nice and talkative. The sights are truly remarkable and living in Midtown is an extraordinary experience, especially with the bar and restaurant scene, the entertainment scene, and so forth. Even Central Park is a wonderland to explore in itself and can be done freely. What's also a highlight about this location is the accessibility of places and people around you; everything is in walking distance, unless you're looking to venture to another area of New York City. You will never run out of places to explore and people to engage with, as people are always traveling to and from New York City - it is a melting pot of many cultures and ethnicities and one of the most diverse places in the world.

I LOVE living in Chelsea. It's close enough to the office so the commute isn't bad but there is so much good food and nightlife around you so you feel very connected socially.

Center of the Universe, between time square and central park.

For commute to school, the NYU shuttle is extremely convenient with travel time under 15mins.

Great bars and restaurants, and close to Central Park, but a distinct lack of affordable grocery options.
Reviewed by NYU Law Student living at Kips Bay Court
5 minute walk to Trader Joe's. Target in-building. Fairway 3 minute walk away. Several bars and restaurants nearby on Third Ave. 40 minute walk to Washington Square Park area. 10 minute walk to the closest subway (the 6), but there are bus lanes nearby. Incredibly close to two major hospitals (great during the COVID age, but lots of ambulance sirens).

See first thing I wrote. Kips bay/murray hill has a great bar and restaurant scene, very young. You don't really go out Friday/Saturday night here, not enough dancing type bars, but it's awesome for just about every other occasion. Central location for everywhere that you would go in any situation though.
Reviewed by Stern MBA Student living at Peter Cooper Village
Great food, bars, and people and very close to multiple modes of transport to easily get anywhere in the city. There are several bus stops right at your doorstep and a ferry about a two minute walk over on the Ave C side. Easy access to East River Walk for other activities and sports as well. Very easy to get to major hub at Union Square by foot or transport.
