The Highgate at 182 East 95th Street, Rating: 4, Rentenna Apartment Score: 99 (Premier!)
Pros: -Amazingly close to the 6 train -pretty big apartments for the price, with a lot of storage space -dishwasher in kitchen, laundry in basement -nice views -great doormen and supers -dry cleaning and parking part of building
Cons: -no gym -a roof deck that is just okay. Great views, but no tables or chairs and you aren't allowed to have parties. Scary railings -annoying how only 1 of 3 elevators go to the basement where the laundry is. So most of the time you have to carry your laundry down from the lobby and back up to it before getting an elevator.
233 East 60th Street, Rating: 1, Rentenna Apartment Score: 61 (Good)
Pros: Quaint, historic, many original details, convenient location.
Cons: Terrible landlord/tenant relations, constant maintenance issues, NO super (only a caretaker who visits weekly with very poor communication skills), No door release on buzzer (must go down for guests/deliveries). Poorly maintained exterior. Avoid. If you are interested in this apt., ask to meet the landlord-- you will quickly see the source of all issues.

Pros: Great staff! Beautiful building and gym, lots of subway lines 1-2-3,4,5,N,R,W,ACE are the ones I take...but there are a couple more...boardwalk in summer, wholefoods, BBB, easy to get cabs
Cons: 9/11 memorial tickets/gift shop is on the ground floor, forced security IDs, a little isolated....

455 West 37th Street, Rating: 4, Rentenna Apartment Score: 64 (Good)
Pros: Pretty big apartments, with nice appliances. Dishwasher in apartment and laundry in the basement. Nice little FREE gym. Absolutely amazing roof deck on the 11th floor!! So fun to have gatherings up there! Great view of the Empire State building and you can watch the fireworks on the Hudson for the 4th of July. Price was pretty reasonable. Doormen are very nice
Cons:Too far from the subway. Too close to Times Square. Sort of shady around Port Authority at night. Sometimes you had to wait awhile for the elevator.
