Do not live in the Chrystie if you want your security deposit back!

I lived at the Chrystie for two years and loved it for 1 year and 9 months of that time -- the management was exceptional, responsive, and cared about the tenants. Unfortunately, in the late spring of 2023, the management changed and they are TERRIBLE. Completely unresponsive, generally rude, and evasive. It says in our lease that we are supposed to get our very substantial security deposit back within 14 days of our lease ending, and it has been over 2 months and we have still not received it, despite numerous emails and phone calls to management. They either don't respond, or they give an excuse for why they don't have it but can't explain further. Living in a doorman building is supposed to make your life easier, but I cannot recommend this building (or any that FS residential manages) because dealing with FS Residential management is a complete nightmare.

The Chrystie

Due to the construction it is extremely loud which makes it very confomfortable. Very nice rooftop. Nice to have a gym in the building. Doormen are very nice. Location is very good - near a lot of restaurants, shops and bars. Apartments are nice and modern.

About Lower East Side

For an authentic New York experience, come to the Lower East Side. Its gritty reputation of cramped spaces and rusty alleyways is now mixed with vibrant energy.

Fantastic neighborhood. Tons of fun bars and restaurants in the area. The go to social spot in the city.
Reviewed by Stern School of Business Student living at 90 Clinton St
Plenty of grit and character in the Lower East Side - dive bars and cool graffiti on every corner. But there is also a large investment (and gentrification) in progress in the form of new luxury condo buildings, new shopping centers, etc., many of which will not be completed for a few years. On Clinton Street alone, you can find old school Dominican hair saloons, great new restaurants like Ivan Ramen and Yunnan BBQ, seven or so boutique coffee shops, and a luxury condo project.
Pros: walk to campus, great bars/restaurants/coffee shops
Cons: construction can be noisy, some streets feel a little rough at night as you go east of Clinton St, though I've never had any safety issues

Vibrant night life, plenty of young people (not a family environment, lots of noise), plenty of restaurants/coffee shops/vintage clothing stores.... close to the F,M,J,Z transit lines.

a bit far from the train station (F) and it's not the most reliable train. Nice is that there is a citibike station near by. neighborhood is a bit sketchy but its walking distance to LES and Chinatown which, for the price, makes it a good deal
Reviewed by Clifford Chance LLP Employee living at 249 E Houston St.
Extremely fun area with tons of exciting bars and restaurants. As such, it is fairly loud and gets dirty.

Fun neighborhood. Its a huge bar scene and very young. The demographic seems to be a lot of young professionals and new families.

Close to school, lots of bars and restaurants and well communicated with public transportation
