We found The Hammel by doing a simple Google search for luxury apartments when we were looking for somewhere to live in Westchester, and I am so glad that we did. We looked at every 'nice' building in New Rochelle, and this was hands-down the best one. When we came to see it for the first time, not only did Tony show us three different apartments in the two buildings, he also showed us all of the restaurants, bars, etc. plus the metro north station (4 minute walk) on a map, further encouraging us to live in the area.
We have been living in the Hammel a year now, and it has been a dream. We've rented at multiple buildings over the past ten years, and this has definitely been our best experience thus far (moving in and living).
The lobby is absolutely beautiful and always pristine. Marie is always putting out cookies for tenants, watering flowers, and running around making sure the place is perfect. She even brings our packages right to our doorstep (never a lost/stolen package in a rental building is a first for us!)
There is a very nice little gym on the first floor with 2 treadmills, an elliptical, and a bunch of weights machines. Plus a giant CLEAN garbage room, covered/secure garage parking, and a dog walk.
It is super easy to get into / let friends and delivery men into the building - they have instituted a system where when your door bell rings, you can hook it up to answer the door on your cell phone - how cool is that!!
They have a HOLIDAY PARTY every year at a local Italian restaurant with a buffet and an open bar. Such a nice way to celebrate the end of the year and meet the neighbors. We made great friends in the building at that party.
Our apartment is so spacious, always quiet, and OMG the closet space. Washer/dryer, giant sound proof windows, personal hot water heater, crown moldings, gorgeous hardware, and a chandelier in the middle of the kitchen! The elevator and hallways are also giant and well-lit. Moving in last year was a cinch, and walking in and out every day is a great experience.
This building is pet friendly, but you'd never know it. It's kept SO CLEAN. When we adopted our kitten Poe, he was welcomed into the Hammel with open arms.
I can't possibly recommend this building / management company enough. They are doing great things for the community. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the building and/or neighborhood!! read more
