Parc East Apartments at 475 2 Avenue,

Manhattan, NY 10016

Affordable for the space

Can get loud

fast and timely repairs when needed, repair team on site, elevator building with basic amenities, mainly post grad residents ages 22-30, area is decent/convenient for transportation

management company kind of sucks and will nickel and dime you when they can. They also are closed more often than they are open which makes it hard to get in touch

Responsive management and super
great doorman

lower water pressure
don't include utilities like water etc

Amazing doormen, clean building, responsive management

Older finishes including kitchen and floors

Spacious apartments, kind doormen who take the time to learn your name and efficiently get packages to you

Expensive, management jacks rent by $1000+ each year, laundry room is gross - washers always broken leaving clothes SOAKING wet, service elevator constantly out of service to get to laundry room, main elevators are tiny, constantly broken, pack 10+ people in at a time like sardines, drug addicts live in the courtyard and outside the building, bad location far away from subway lines, mandatory gym fee for a nasty cement block gym in the basement, DONT waste your money this building is a frat house and it truly is the worst.

Make improvements to amenities, fix washers, probably make the elevator situation less horrendous for residents

Apartment is fine. Trash and amenities as advertised

Laundry always breaking
management non responsive
elevators always down

Doormen are extremely nice, packages are well received and maintenance is quick

Elevators always broken, EXTREMELY overpriced units and flex walls are not allowed to go to ceiling/need bookshelves. Overpriced

Big apartment, easy to flex and still have significant space

We got in a huge disagreement during move out during covid and they tried to charge me an obscene amount after a mistake by their leasing office.

Quick responses when you have an issue
Location

Lines for elevator were long
A lot of young people so there was usually noise during the weekend
Heat was not warm enough for the unit

I lived here right out of college and it was perfect for that time in my life. The building is full of people in their early 20s. Great doormen. Close to Trader Joe’s, target, fairway, and the AMC movie theater, and it’s above a Duane Reade

It was loud and you can feel like you age out of it quickly.

Fun building, well maintained

Raise the rent a lot every year

Lots of space
Good tenant app
Quick turnaround for maintenance requests
Nice doormen

Water is frequently turned off for maintenance
Frequent drilling noises

Minimize water cutoffs

Great building, nice doormen, packages always handled. Spacious apartment, big kitchen, neighbors never annoying.

Just about no issues

Clean and spacious condo

Very loud A/C in the unit, which doesn't do a good job cooling apartment down.

Upgrade air conditioning

Big bedrooms and convenient

Kind of like a college dorm

Doormen are great, never had problem with trash or heat, friendly maintenance, nice view from high floors, good location with quick walk to 6 train as well as Trader Joe's and good restaurants

Frequent running water outages, frequent loud construction noise as neighboring apartments were renovated, long elevator lines, VERY hot before you are able to turn on AC at beginning of June, gym was basically unusable all summer as the AC has been out even though you have to pay the amenity fee, many college students which means loud late night parties that persisted after direct confrontation and reports to management, laundry machines frequently out of service. Overall, manageable inconveniences but not for premium prices

Make sure you treat your doormen well- they are the most redeeming quality of the building

The doorpeople were amazing. Always pleasant, and the best part of my day was interacting with any of them.

The management company acts like this is the most pristine and luxurious building in Manhattan, which is laughable.

Be a human. You are linked to so many different buildings across the country, which means I and many others will never consider any of them again. I cancelled two showings this summer when I realized they were EQR properties.

- Nice apartment unit
- Nice trash chute
- Nice lobby

- Needs a better gym
- Would like nicer stove/fridge
- Expensive without a flex

decent building for young folks

water gets shut down randomly

doorman service was good - always felt safe, package receiving always secure, maintenance response was fast

building going under a lot of renovations, drilling noises are loud and annoying, sometimes they shut the water off for a whole day which was not great, neighbors are young professionals that threw a lot of noisy parties with blasting music, surrounding area a little sketchy with the wrong kind of people
