Murray Hill Gem
Pros
Modern luxury building Just the right amenities - roof deck, garden with bbqs, gym, package and bike rooms, dog run, etc. Great staff Good layouts
Cons
Nothing worth mentioning other than south side balconies can be less usable facing 34th St
Nice building and staff
Pros
- no bugs ever showed up in the unit during our two years living there - decent rent prices for Manhattan - nice staff - the building is pretty well-insulated. noise isn’t much of an issue even on lower floors facing 34th. - there’s a beautiful rooftop and a small but convenient gym - safe area and building. staff know all residents by name and don’t let in strangers
Cons
- balconies facing 34th are unusable because they get a film of dirt from street pollution after just a couple hours (at least on the lower floors). we put a table on ours and ran a paper towel over it the next morning, and the towel was totally black. - windows also shouldn’t be opened for the same reason
