I know moving in and moving out is cumbersome, time consuming and expensive. It may test the community commitment of a resident. For my family the co-op residency served our purpose very well and we have no desire to move out anywhere else in the world. It is such an ideal place to retire in New York City given the very high cost of living in the City. Numerous special assessments were inevitable due to the rising taxes and utilities. Compared to the escalating home ownership expenses of single family home Westmoreland is still a bargain basement price. Long Live the co-op board..!!

When we left (and it took us almost a year to sell because of all the assessments and all the legal problems this apt complex had) we tried to get our refundable deposit back. That took 3 months and numerous calls/msgs/emails. When we tried to sell our place, rarely any agents wanted to take us on because they knew all the issues with this apt complex and the mgmt company! What a huge mistake we made buying an apt there. A huge, expensive headache!!!!

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.

My Grandparents got the apartment for $300.00 a month for a 2 bedroom in the 60's which was pretty high priced for those years even though my uncle did all the architecture work.... Id still love to live there again with the front of the building facing the Grand Central Parkway & the back apartments are facing the pool. I still give it a five star

The park across the street has tennis courts and paddleball courts and a nice playground. Of course Flushing Meadow Park is a huge Park with many many amenities. One of our favorite things is to walk around the lake at sunset. Priceless! The pool is closed right now pending renovation but when it's open I think this building will once again be five stars. We love our Doormen, especially Antoine and Tony there more like our own private concierge, much more than Doormen! They go out of their way to make sure that our needs are met and have often exceeded my expectations; sometimes I think they know what I need even before I realize I need it! These hard-working men make it a pleasure to live at the Fairview. 24 hour security is visible and constantly patrolling the building and the grounds. There is a courtyard with picnic tables and chairs to relax and enjoy the evening breeze. There is also a private play ground for residence and a small basketball court also. The huge laundry room makes it almost a pleasure to do laundry it is card operated and almost all the machines work very rarely have to wait for a machine. Parking can be a challenge so you may want to purchase an apartment that has a parking space on the lease already. There is both indoor and outdoor parking that is reasonably priced. The management office has always responded to my needs and addressed issues quickly and appropriately. Although I am not a pet owner, the building is pet friendly. Management seems to understand the importance of pet ownership and pet owners are respectful of their home and surrounding property. I have no issues with noise or pet waste. The subway is about a mile away. Plenty of buses within walking distance Including express buses to Midtown and downtown Manhattan.

I'm a current resident…read more The location is great. It's a nice building, modern, good aesthetics, the interior is well taken care of. Nice communal spaces. 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...

We went home with a box and it's so rich that I've been snacking on it for the past month with more than halfway to go. -Lady M Cafe: The best crepe cake spot. Purchase a whole cake or by the slice. - Muji: I spent way too much money and time here putting together my perfect planner and trying out all of their pens. - Kura Sushi: Another favorite from back home, but this time with no wait! - Gatcha - One of the biggest Japanese style arcades we have been to! My daughters were so psyched to win a little stuffed bear from the claw machine. - Kokuru Cat Cafe - I didn't get to go in because I'm allergic but we had a fun time watching them play through the window. - Potobox: Giant, Korean style photo booth with long lines!

While there's the Classover Academy educational center and Goldfish Swim School, most of the other stores and vendors are gear to extract beaucoup bucks from your wallet when the children with you start making demands.

There's Kokoro Cat Café, PopMart character tchotchkes in a vending machine and storefront, and Gatcha arcade. For all ages, there's also Regal Theaters, a sizable food court and restaurants. On the whole, Tangram was different than any other mall I've seen in New York or the U.S. Maybe worth checking out, but if you have young ones with you, ensure you have your wallet!
