Gotham West

I moved in less than a year ago. There is ongoing construction that I was never told about and it's constant noise and dust dare you open the windows. Constant noise on the corner of 44th and 11th, I've heard several fights and violence late at night. AC/heater units constantly break down and are noisy; I had to have mine fixed 3 times just to get it to a tolerable sound. Washer Dryer in unit is ridiculously inefficient, cycles last hours and washers pool water in front gasket, so you need to dry it manually after each use or it smells. Kitchen is very nice but panelling on cabinets fall apart. Gym is nice but tv on machines never work. Staff is helpful and amenities are nice but too many issues with unit.

This is the absolute worst building in all of NYC. I have never encountered a more unprofessional leasing office. If I ran this building I would fire Cynthia immediately. We scheduled a viewing for a 2 br/2 ba apartment. We called, emailed and confirmed the appointment. We arrived 30 mins early and were asked to wait in the lobby. When we asked again to check on the status we were told there was no appointment made and Cynthia refused to accommodate us despite my 7 month pregnant wife and I both having scheduled the appointment 6 days in advance and having taken the day off work. I would avoid this building at all costs. Extremely unprofessional and unlike any experiences I have had at dozens of other luxury buildings in the city. 0 stars filing formal complaint with Gotham west.

New building in midtown New York City. Has beautiful garden, lovely rooftop, gym and great recreation area! Right near the theater district as well!! What more could you ask for!?

Great building. Clean halls. Wonderful staff. Playroom for kids. Available gym. Front desk 24 hours

I moved into Gotham West on west 45th street about a year and a half ago. The rooms are beautiful with hardwood floors, washer/dryer and diswasher. We also have central airconditioning, as well. The whole block is basically new apartment buildings and it's proving to be an up and coming area!

We are the first to live in our apartment at GothamWest. First off- the views of the Hudson River from our unit were gorgeous. Stunning, unobstructed sunsets every night fill our apartment. The finishes are quite nice- well appointed bathroom, nicely finished kitchen, on par closet space. The negatives: Noise! The walls are paper thin, if you are within 30 feet of the elevator expect to hear every time someone calls the elevator (DING!). You can hear your neighbor shower. Most annoyingly- the street noise. We live 22 stories above street level and from 4:10PM to 7:45PM EVERY SINGLE DAY the traffic noise from 11th avenue is deafening. If you plan on renting here- please visit your unit at 5:00PM with the windows open and closed. Both have street noise levels that are unacceptable. The HVAC units are freestanding-unfortunately the fan is exceptionally loud- expect to turn the unit off during phone calls or turning your television up several decibels when running. The lack of luxury- door guys interestingly and incorrectly referred to as the "concierge" (with the exception of Mike) do nothing unless directly asked. This means not acknowledging you or even looking up when walking through the door (no door opening, good morning/evening, or even knowing your apartment number or name after living there for 14 months.) Odd policing of rules, for instance: no glass on the roofdeck, wait, depends on the day and the guard. Sometimes glass wear and a bottle of champagne are completely acceptable, other days everything must be consumed in plastic and alcohol is prohibited. Strange level of staffing, many times during torrential rain hours passed before rugs were unrolled- yet security was stationed in the service entrance to patrol single dog owners from utilizing the exit unless the dog was over 50 pounds (strange and specific use of resources.) The building is located one avenue from Pier 84 dog park, GREAT! This makes the building dog friendly. Unfortunately they are not able to keep up with the level of feces and urine surrounding the building. You may notice wet pavement twice a day around most buildings during the summer to help offset the waste. Not here- the staff likes to sweep but is neither active nor proactive to help eliminate the smell. Having looked at all of the lux elevator buildings in HK last year, and living in the hood for four years- GothamWest is a 3 out of 5. Noise & lack of service take the biggest points off of the review.

We found gotham west after visiting the market downstairs which is one of the best food courts in New York. Very nice to have all sorts of food and drink options right below the building and with a building discount it is even better. The building amenities include a roof deck which is open during the warm months and limits guests you can bring with pretty strict security. It's a great view and fills up pretty fast when it's nice outside. We love the gym and the free gym classes that include spinning and yoga. It's definitely saved us some money on a separate gym membership and it's more motivational to workout when you are already in the building. The building is so new that the units couldn't be better. Some units have really high ceilings and all have great built-in pantrys and full length medicine closets to make the most of your manhattan space. The one negative would be for those on the 11th ave side, while the views of the Hudson are great, many of the units are within earshot of the ups trucking facility which is constantly beeping at night. You can't hear it during the day, but trust me- when the lights go off and you put your head down- you will hear it until the sum comes up. It's not just honking, it's the backing up electronic beep from never ending trucks. Overall though, we love this building because of its quality of life, close proximity to great restaurants and bars (9th ave is the best) and services. All for some of the most reasonable prices in manhattan for a full service. New luxury building.
