The Anthem — Local services in New York

My fiancée lived there for three years. I lived there for two.

Pros: Nice apartments - new appliances, great views, well laid out Nice rooftop Nice-sized and clean gym Most doormen are very nice and friendly If you have a car, the garage is very well run

Cons: No auto-pay option for rent. Must drop off a check. Horrible management: No negotiation on rent during height of COVID pandemic (mid-2020) when we moved apartments within the building. After we moved in, we saw an identical unit on a different floor for two or three months free and a lower net rent. Extremely disappointing given we were ideal tenants with no complaints against us. Gave us no time to move out. We were given a two hour window, when every other building in NYC gives you 3-5 hours. When we hit the 2 hour mark, they stopped letting us move out to let someone else move in, and were only allowed to resume when they were done. Would get multiple emails if anything was left in the hallway, even if it was just delivered. During height of pandemic, one doorman refused to wear a mask, and management didn't do anything about it as far as we know. We got a package delivered there by accident instead of our new apartment. After calling to ask to hold it until we can pick it up the next day, they said okay. The next day, the package was sent back to FedEx.

My opinion: don't live here. There are better options in and around Murray Hill that are less expensive, maybe just as quality of a building, with...

For the past 4 Years, The Anthem has been a very special place for our family. It was our 1st apartment together, where we welcomed our first baby, and then our second baby. And if we weren’t moving out of the city, we would most definitely still be living there. Its a fantastic building with a beautiful garden rooftop, great amenities including a gym & children’s playroom where I used to take my firstborn to play and for complimentary music classes which were held twice a month. The building location is also ideal in Midtown, just a couple of blocks from the subway with easy access to uptown, downtown, and even crosstown via the M34 bus with the stop right across the street. I honesty cant say enough good things about our experience with The Anthem, staff, and management. We’ll surely miss...

I absolutely loved living at the Anthem! It became an oasis for me to escape the city. The amenities like the rooftop garden, gym with sauna (membership through crunch), and the friendly doormen made it stand out in my housing search. I also appreciated the large windows, the abundance of storage/closet space in my unit, and convenience of the location. I cannot recommend living here more! If there is one thing to be careful of, I would say make sure that the moving company that you hire is approved by the building management as there are some restrictions. Otherwise, management is quite accommodating and flexible in general. I am very grateful to have lived in...
