We found this place by walking by. We moved in here with a…read moremove in special. We lived here for a little over a year. There are about a thousand units here. So, keep that in mind. Move in was easy because I didn't have much when I moved in. Lol. We lived in a studio. They have a super efficient front desk that processes packages. If you need something ASAP, you may have to talk to them. But, ours were processed same day. Sign and get it. The front desk overall were nice. They deal with a lot. So, if you have a bad experience, just consider it a one off. Overall, hard working and efficient. After a few months the front staff knew our names. I found that impressive considering there's so many people in the building. You can pay the rent via internet with no service charge. The electric was under a hundred every month. Even less on those months you don't need heat or cold. We used RCN for cable and internet. The box is built into the wall. It's in the closet. They had a promo and we got hbo and showtime. The reception in the building is really bad. You'll need WiFi in the building. We lived on the east wing. I'd recommend that because of the elevator. I rarely waited. The elevator is fast. They have a outgoing mailbox slot for the mailroom. The amenities are nice. The rooftop when we moved in had a mostly unobstructed view of the skyline, but at the end of the lease there was a taller building going up. It's still a sight to see. Try it around sunset the colors and the skyline are amazing. We didn't utilize the grills. But, saw them being used occasionally. A lot of the amenities we not used. The basketball court is a nice touch. Be careful. The gym is nice. A lot of treadmills and weights. Most of the stuff, I didn't know how to use. 90% of the time I got a treadmill. Occasionally had to settle for bike. But. Bikes are always open. When we put requests for maintenance. It was addressed swiftly. The AC/heater is a bit loud, we bought a space heater and cycled the AC. The closets hold more than you think. The studio we had was spacious. Big open space with large windows and views. The kitchen has nice granite countertops. The dishwasher. We used it to hold the dishes to dry, it might have been better to put it on the far side versus near side. The wood flooring is a lighter shade. Not creaky. The washer/dryer combo is nice. It is a Bosch and there is a self-cleaning function. Which we liked. The bathroom has built in shelves and a cabinet. Shower pressure is good. Drain had occasional issues where we probably requested 4 times in our stay there. They use an app called BuildingLink. They cleaned it out every time. Moving out: it was super efficient. There's a lot of families going in and out. But, we got a moving service and they took care of the heavy lifting. We got the first date and time requested. We did the final check out and it went well. They gave us our full deposits back. They also tack on interest. I think the rate is less than 0.01% Overall, I'd recommend the place. It is pricey. But, you do get what you pay for. Thank you guys.

There are a few things that aren't great about the apartment itself and somethings that can be maddening to deal with as a resident. Regarding the apartment, my real only complaint is that the walls appear to be thin. I can hear my neighbors television, I can hear my neighbor when he sneezes, I will know if they are home or not because I can hear their forks against the plate when they're eating. Another thing that isn't the worst, but also isn't the best, is that I smell pot smoke in the hallway and in my apartment on a regular basis. Biggest issue I have is that the (outside of the) windows are FILTHY and management just completely neglects them, refusing to clean them despite multiple requests and complaints. You can't clean them yourself. The windows were filthy when I moved in a year ago, and I have consistently emailed management to ask when they were going to be cleaned, and every time they were cagey about it, which is really annoying: never giving a straight answer or providing any information. I have found out that the windows have not been cleaned since 3 years ago, right after the building was completed. So, you're paying high rent for a "luxury" building, but you're looking out of windows covered in grime. Another issue, is that management is basically absent (this ties in to the window issue). I've never met anyone who manages the building, or seen them around the building. They also seem unaccommodating - if you have any special requests or asks, in my experience, they won't be accommodated. In the last "luxury" building I lived in, management was more attentive and tried to work with you - in addition they arranged for bagel brunches once a month, and wine get togethers so everyone could meet each other, etc. That doesn't happen in this building. The building advertises over 40,000 square feet of amenity space but then they took away all of the chairs and seat cushions in the outdoor lounging area in the beginning of September - when there was still at least a month and a half of gorgeous weather when residents could have been using the space. There is room for improvement...

Parker Towers -- Unsafe Conditions and Serious Structural Concerns…read more 104-40 Queens Blvd, Gramercy Building Living at Parker Towers has become a nightmare. What was once marketed as a "luxury community" is now a construction zone riddled with safety issues. The building shows visible structural cracks inside the walls and ceilings, and residents have been left to deal with the fallout while management and ownership pretend it's all fine. The ongoing construction has caused vibrations, dust, and damage throughout the building. Health and safety violations are being overlooked, and there's zero transparency from management about the impact of this work on the building's stability. Residents who report problems get brushed off or ignored. For the amount of rent charged here, this is completely unacceptable. Parker Towers needs an independent structural inspection and accountability from ownership (Blackstone) before something worse happens. Until then, I strongly advise anyone considering moving in: don't. The cracks aren't just in the walls -- they're in the way this place is being run.

I found the front desk person to be friendly and I was able to pick up a package from a resident. However, despite the building's website advertising a full-time doorman, I did not have anyone open the door for me. The location of the building is quite interesting as it is situated next to the Sculpture Center. The lobby is small but has a few artworks on display. One positive aspect of Vantage is that there are no additional fees for amenities, as there aren't any on the premises.

When I first moved in, the experience--from the front desk to management and maintenance--was truly magnificent. Unfortunately, I have noticed a significant decline in quality recently. It often feels as though the newer buildings are receiving more attention while the standards here have shifted. Having been here since the opening, my perspective comes from long-term experience, and there have been several valid issues that have led me to change my view of the property. Furthermore, I must address the situation regarding the parking garage. While I understand it is under separate ownership, it is an integral part of the resident experience, and the service there is currently unacceptable. As a customer paying $350 a month, I have found the treatment of both myself and my vehicle to be outrageous. There are significant communication barriers with the attendants, and the overall level of service warrants a serious investigation.
