Nope. My browser won't let me view it because it says it's unsecured.

LOL.
I'd be curious for those living in studios there now what the dimensions are of the studio. Not the whole apt but living/bedroom area. Anyone currently living there and have measured it?

In 2018 I was first called to submit all the documents in March and then again I had to show update info in June before getting approved in July for aug move in.

Good luck with the process

Default Congrats CMB57

Congrats on moving in @ CBM57
Glad you like it. We're neighbors! I'm still settling in. Still waiting on furniture shipments. I ordered stuff and had to send back and I'm still organizing things that I just got out of my storage units. It's taking me time to design my living room because I know what I want and I'm putting it all together myself.

So far I'm so happy and thankful. I love my apartment! I find it to be spacious.

This really is a fresh start for me and I am so blessed.

Anyone else move in?*

I moved into a fancy building via the lottery. I've been enjoying it a lot. Love having a gym, nice common spaces, and a doorman. Wayyyy better than my previous Chinatown apartment and just like $100 more per month. I'm in the higher AMI category. I feel like staff treats me very well and are extremely responsive. I feel like I'm treated the same as the other tenants. The tenants skew young and rich and seem to be on their phones a lot (like when in the elevator and stuff). Anyway, I've had a positive experience overall and recommend you win a lottery, too.

I know assumptions can be misguided, but I am going to have to assume that I did not make the cut in the 2019 Lottery. No email, and no snail mail letter at this point.


I am sooooo disappointed.

I love reading these because it gives me hope. I had my eligibility interview for a building around the corner from Elton Crossing (Bronx Commons) at the end of Sept. Turned in more paperwork in October and a couple of weeks ago, had to notarize something about additional income. So now it's the waiting game. How did you know when the paperwork was sent off for approval? You were notified or you called?

my building doesn't look very close to being occupied. construction goes on and on
