Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

211 West 56 Street in Manhattan benefits from a prime central location near multiple subway lines, Central Park, and Columbus Circle, appealing to those seeking convenience. The building is clean, well-maintained, and features spacious, sunlit apartments with modern kitchens, updated windows for noise reduction, and attentive, friendly staff including doormen and management. However, noise remains an issue due to the busy Midtown environment and ongoing nearby construction. Amenities are minimal, with no rooftop furniture or leisure spaces and aging appliances. Rent increases and occasional elevator malfunctions have caused some dissatisfaction, alongside calls for interior upgrades and infrastructure improvements.

Great location, a little pricey

Pros

Helpful & friendly staff, hallways & trash rooms are well kept & cleaned regularly. Some apartments have great views, and bathrooms & kitchens feel modern.

Cons

Minimal amenities in the building. View from roof is nice, but no terrace or furniture & it's closed on public holidays. Windows are double-glazed, but Midtown is noisy. Residents are generally friendly, but not much of a community.

Advice to the owners

Make use of that roof on NYE!
