Like most of the real estate rehabbed by Downtowne Properties, The Gramercy started out with unique…read morebeginnings. One of the newer buildings, it was erected as a hotel in 1992. Geared more towards corporate housing and temporary-living furnished apartments, changing times led this building to be converted into traditional living spaces.
Containing six floors and 150 apartment units, you will notice The Gramercy's hospitality roots at first glance. The hallways look spot on like a hotel, just spruced up a bit with trendy carpet, fashionable doors, and house numbers. Inside, you won't find and exposed ceilings or lofty settings like in other Downtowne apartments. Instead, the units boast the standard, boxy layout of rooms.
The Gramercy offers studios, one and two bedroom units, and two bedroom townhomes. The townhomes have private entrances facing Piatt Park, making a nice change from formal apartment living. The apartments have secure access, a rooftop pool, an on-site coin laundry room, access to the fitness center across the street, and a corner market next door. Plus, a secure parking garage is located beneath the building for $71.00 per month. Most of the units have balconies too, but lookout for the places with "pocket balconies." That's slang for a sliding glass door that leads to nowhere, as there is a fence directly in front of it.
Maintenance is on top of the game, responding to requests within one day, on-call for emergencies, and will help fix anything from a broken stove to installing a curtain rod. They even deliver any UPS packages that arrive while you're out.
Management is very friendly as well: quick to respond to any problems, organizes community activities, makes sure the common areas are safe and clean, and most importantly, goes to great lengths to make sure incoming residents transition easily into their new home.
With a namesake stemming from a New York City neighborhood, you'll find comfortable urban living at The Gramercy.
