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.
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.
Visitors repeatedly describe a calm garden setting with fountains, flowing water, flowers and mature greenery beside the tower.
Residential noise recurs at the address, making floor, orientation and neighbor exposure worth testing.
100 United Nations Plaza has a 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center and direct-access garage. Residents have a landscaped garden plaza and shared laundry room, with in-unit laundry in some apartments.
