Summary

4545 Center Boulevard is a large Long Island City waterfront rental with bright apartments, Manhattan views, tennis and beach volleyball beside Gantry Plaza State Park. Residents praise the doormen, maintenance and apartment space, while inflexible renewals, amenity-fee value during renovations and noise near shared rooms are the main cautions.

Reviews

What residents praise

Doormen and maintenance earn strong praise

Residents repeatedly describe front-desk and maintenance staff as professional, quick to solve problems and careful with packages.

Apartments offer light, views and useful space

Water-facing homes, three-bedroom layouts and solid construction stand out, with many residents finding the apartments quiet away from shared rooms.

Outdoor and sports amenities are distinctive

The roof terrace, tennis, beach volleyball and direct park access provide more outdoor variety than many LIC towers.

What residents complain about

Renewal decisions can feel inflexible

Some residents describe limited room to negotiate renewals even after a positive living experience.

Renovations can weaken amenity value

A resident reports paying the mandatory amenity charge while large parts of the gym or outdoor spaces were closed for work.

Shared-room noise matters on adjacent floors

Residents near the gym or children's room report more noise, making exact floor and exposure worth checking.

Amenities

4545 Center Boulevard has a 24-hour attended lobby and shared laundry rooms, with in-unit laundry in some apartments. Recreation spaces include a fitness center, sports courts and landscaped roof terrace, with a connected garage and resident storage.
