Summary

100 United Nations Plaza is a 236-apartment Midtown East condominium with individually owned rentals, large layouts and a distinctive landscaped plaza with fountains and greenery. The setting and apartment sizes stand out, while owner-specific finishes, building charges and a recent concentration of residential noise calls deserve apartment-level review.

Reviews

The landscaped plaza is the clearest recurring public impression, with visitors repeatedly stopping for the fountains, water and plantings. Recent feedback offers little dependable detail about living in the condominium, so unit condition and owner responsiveness remain apartment-specific.

What residents praise

The landscaped plaza is unusually memorable

Visitors repeatedly describe a calm garden setting with fountains, flowing water, flowers and mature greenery beside the tower.

What residents complain about

Check the apartment's noise exposure

Residential noise recurs at the address, making floor, orientation and neighbor exposure worth testing.
