The Chelsea

Current resident. Building was great under prior management but has taken a huge step back under Greystar. If it was easier to move I 100% would have. Elevators are slow and break frequently. 'Live in' super does not actually live there (or at least spends much of his time elsewhere). Construction planned for this year will make amenities (laundry, gym) tough to use. Policies for using common areas are difficult and expensive. Value is not great for the neighborhood, as many floorplans are on the small side but the building expects to line price with larger apartments in the area. Front office staff are difficult, although doormen and maintenance guys are great. Would definitely not recommend.

This place might be great if you apartment windows aren't over the 7th avenue. But an apartment on the third floor as mine over the avenue is just like sleeping directly on the street. It is so noisy I cannot sleep. And I used to live on 36th street, Murray hill, one of the noisiest street other there!Plus I would add that the closet in the kitchen are stinky, the curtains aren't opaque and the TV sometimes just stops working.
