Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-managed" Upper East Side residence offers "hassle-free living" with its "accommodating board" and "comprehensive amenity package" including bike storage and live-in super. The "prime location" across from John Jay Park delivers "serene surroundings" while providing "easy access" to the East River Promenade and "vibrant" First Avenue shopping and dining scene. The building's "resident-friendly policies" and "modern security features" make it a "standout choice" for those seeking a "quiet residential setting" with urban conveniences.
