This! In my building now it's hard to do laundry bc there is only one washer dryer per floor for 36 floors and most people do multiple loads on multiple floors at a time. In my previous small elevator building we had 4 washers and 4 dryers and there were only about 16 units so it was never an issue.
Usually you have to pay a fee for all the amenaties. We have a gym but its $400 a year and a pool which is $250 for Memorial Day - Labor day + $25 per guest.
Such poor planing for the washing machines. I wonder if it's intentional so the landlord can save on water and other operating costs.
If you don't mind going to Jersey side of hudson I would look into Edgewater (river road) and Fort Lee. For $3000 you can get a fantastic 2BR 2BA and still be within 30-45 bus ride into Manhattan.
Edgewater is fantastic
$4-$5k, and you would start to find true luxury 2BRs open up, 2/2s with decent bedroom sizes, not a flex, and not a 1BR with a much smaller occasional bedroom. Closer to the Seaport, you may start to find 2/2 in the higher $3ks, as well, say $3800 or so for a newer building, such as those on Gold.

That's funny. None lux building can have laundry in the building just to let you know.
Be aware many gym memberships in lux buildings are an additional cost to your rent. Building I know vary from $500 to $1200 a year.
Untrue. Many luxury buildings have laundry facilities in the basement as well as w/d hookups in the apartments themselves.
Also, not all buildings charge for the gym memberships. My friend's building has a full gym as well as a pool and she doesn't have to pay a penny extra.

I meant non lux. buildings.
ANd your friend is lucky, do you know how old her building is? Most newer building you have to or sometimes they give you the first year free and when you renew you then have to pay. Happened to me in one building.
The ones with w/d in their apts are $2500 for a studio. I highly doubt the op will find a true 2 bedroom with a washer and dryer in his apt for his max at $3300.
Anyway point was if the op is looking for a lux building just for the ease of laundry and gym in the building they need to know not only lux buildings have laundry in them. If they need a gym in the building them perhaps they do need a lux building but it is nyc gyms are everywhere. I live in a non lux building with laundry in my building but the gym is outside a whole 2 minute walk away.
I lived in a lux building like ohio girl and we had washer and dryers on every floor. ALthough we had 2 and she only has 1. But same situation, they were always being used, with 30 some apts per floor it's not quite enough. Often you have to ride the elevator looking for open machines on other floors.
As an agent im going to tell you you can find 2br in non luxury/doorman buildings with laundry in the building. Even some doorman bldgs that dont have a gym. Its a bit harder cause alot of things will be flex/convertibles in doorman bldgs also some you have to pay for using the gym/pool so dont think you only pay the rent and thats it lol.

Do you think 22 is too young to live in a building like that anyway? Are most of the renters in their late 20s/early 30s?
I've been living in luxury high rises in NYC all my life. You won't find what you are looking for at the moment. You missed those prices by about 10 years.
My advice is to shack up with somebody and share one bed.
A good "cell mate" is worth its' weight in gold in this city.
