Keep us posted!
I have not heard anything back yet. Yes I went through some forms allowing them to verify all of the paperwork .


Good luck with the interview. I recommend going in with all of the requested paperwork and be very organized .

My log for this is #14xxx, which isn't that terrible considering that I got an invitation to 605 West 42nd Street with a log of #12xxx. I'm keeping hope for this. Reading through the thread, seeing how this is one of the more wealthier areas in the city, I'm sure Community Preference will go quickly.

66 (33) is a decent number of one-bedrooms.

Building amenities are great. In unit W/D?!?! No fee for gym and spa?! The apartments must be a good size, too. This building just shot up to my number one hope now.

ladygaga1, since you live in the area, how are other amenities such as markets, banks, bars, restaurants in the area. My fear of actually moving into one of these beautiful buildings is the affordability of the surrounding area. I might have to get someone to drive me to BJ's every month to shop. lol

Good luck to everyone who applied! I'd love to see more people actually move into these buildings.

The buildings are located on 36th & 1st which is a pretty quiet location with not much retail .. Most of the shopping , stores etc are going to be on 2nd Ave .. 5-10min walk away .


Not the best location for shopping etc .. But you're in Manhattan so getting an apartment here would be a total blessing .

There's a Trader Joe's nearby which is great. I've read that they were including retail space in the buildings. Not sure how true that is. How do you know the gym and spa are free? That's great. I assumed there would be a separate fee.

Thank you for that! I don't care much for shopping, shopping, just an area where I can get basic things like tissue, soap, etc for not too much money.

On the PDF on Housing Connect it didn't have an *Additional Fees Apply label.
The rooftop pool / lounge had the fee label.

Yes by shopping I meant the basics ... There are a few pharmacies on 34th & 2nd and 38 & 2nd .. There will be some retail on the ground floor of the buildings but not sure who it'll
Be occupied by ..

And yes it is interesting that there wasn't an additional fee sign by the gym/pool in the advertisement, hard to believe that there's no fee but that would be amazing for tenants !

I'm glad to see that there is finally movement! My number is 4xx without a preference. Definitely not holding my breath but I remain hopeful.

There's not a lot of retail, but the M15 bus is right there, and there is a ferry stop too. Nice for the summer.
