I've lived in this building for 4 years and have no real complaints (except for the occasional 1…read moreelevator not working). My husband and I looked around White Plains for an apartment, and this building was the best bet in terms of size of apartments, price, and convenience. The higher floors get tons of sunlight and the 12th floor apartments have fireplaces. There's also a gym upstairs and laundry on every floor. The building is about a 10 min walk to the MetroNorth train station and a 5 minute walk to the Mall and Target/Shoprite. There are so many other things within walking distance including the library, DMV, restaurants, bars, biking/walking trails, etc. etc. With regards to the negative reviews left, it really depends on who you are renting from. They may have had a bad landlord who tried to rip them off and weren't attentive to issues that came up. The units in this building are owned by individuals and either lived in by the owner or rented out to others. I think the review by Steven L. which is filtered out for some reason states valid points. Each unit has separate heating and cooling units. If yours is broken ask your landlord to fix the unit in your apartment! No regrets living here.

It offers nice amenities, 24 hour concierge service, indoor pool, small gym with lockers and showers, indoor heated parking, central a/c, outdoor balcony for each unit, top floor lounge area and some rooftop lounge areas. There is some parking for guests in front and parking on the street. One negative is that most of the kitchens are on the small side. Its very close to Turnure Park, and 10 minute walk to Stop and Shop, The Westchester and under 15 minute walk to Mamaroneck Ave. and central downtown. WP train station is just under a mile also. Great location, quiet because it's not in the middle of downtown, but still very walkable to all. Its priced a little higher than your average White Plains condos, but it is a luxury building and has a lot to offer.

I have written a review of the Avalon before. I remember mentioning that alarms were going off all…read morethe time however it is now fixed. The alarms are no longer a reason why this building ranked so low in my mind. All the amenities make it worth living here. The reason it is three stars has a different reason than my first review. Most of the staff at the Avalon are friendly enough but there are a couple unfriendly ones in an otherwise great building. However that does not hurt the rating too much. It's just something that can be improved. There is no need for unfriendliness towards any tenant no matter your thoughts on them. That is my only thought.

As I write this, 4 alarms have gone off. Multiple tenants have emailed corporate office, local management , to which they all reply with "we're aware, we're sorry , we're fixing it". How are you fixing it when it continues to happen every day?????? I call a SCAM! With apartments going from $2150-$5000, this is what you get. Horrible! Such a shame too because all the tenants are nice, it's a dog friendly building and the concierge and maintenance staff are superb.

I went to look for a condo purchase here. This is a 16 unit condominium with elevator that looks…read morenice from a distance, but upon closer inspection not so nice. The unit itself was fully updated and beautiful. The hallways appeared fairly clean. Neighborhood is about average for White Plains, but convenient to a lot. I put in an offer and it was accepted. I had the inspection a few days later and my inspector found a live cockroach in the kitchen cabinet. Gross! I then decided to take a further look at the apartment underneath me. The first floor apartments are partially underground and from the outside look terrible. You cant even see the windows from the street. You need to walk up to the building and look down. Anyway, I obviously was not able to gain entry into the apartment, but what I saw from the outside was shocking! The deck was filthy, not touched in years. The sliding glass doors were filthy. The screen to the sliding door was torn, rusted and hanging off he door. All units are supposed to come with central ac. This one had no air condenser on the deck. Now I now at least one location were the roaches were coming from. My inspector looked at the pic and was grossed out also. He said it looks like they have a pest control box on the deck. I emailed the pic to my agent and told her to withdraw my offer. I forwarded the pic to management and they said everyone is responsible for their own unit. Duh, and this is why there are rules written that you must keep your unit in clean condition. Obviously, no such rule in this complex. Hell, I live in a nice rental building in Port Chester and that rule is written into the lease along with no smoking on property and quiet times between 10 pm and 8 am. I emailed Ferrara Management to provide me with the by laws (rules and regulations). Turns out that there are the most minimalist of regulations I have ever seen. They were all written back in 1988 when the complex was first built with nothing ever added. No smoking regulations, no noise restrictions other than to use a "reasonable amount of carpet". There is nothing about quiet times. I asked how many were being rented. Management said four. There are 4 units per floor and I would bet that at least three of those are on the so called, first floor. Do yourself a favor and don't waste you time and money looking into this building. It was unfortunate because the unit was very nice, but the building is a poorly managed with a joke of a condo board (3 unit owners).

Although the circumstances were quite complicated, with our internal family squabbles, Ann remained professional and diligently worked day and night, weekends, too.
