Rental building
Website

Summary

ARC is a 428-apartment Long Island City rental with a half-acre courtyard, rooftop saltwater pool and more than 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities. Residents consistently praise the staff, maintenance and clean shared spaces. The main tradeoffs are an industrial immediate neighborhood, separate amenity costs and apartment-specific noise.

Reviews

ARC earns unusually consistent praise for the people and the way the shared spaces are maintained. The location is highly practical for trains but less appealing for nearby food and grocery errands, while sound depends heavily on the apartment and its neighbors.

What residents praise

Staff and maintenance are consistently strong

Residents describe a stable, friendly team and routine repair requests handled the same day or within hours.

Amenities feel usable and well kept

The courtyard, rooftop pool, fitness areas and work spaces are repeatedly described as clean, spacious and actively used by residents.

Transit makes Midtown easy

Several subway lines are close enough that residents can reach Midtown quickly even though the immediate blocks feel industrial.

What residents complain about

Noise varies sharply by apartment

Train-facing homes, mechanical vents and neighboring apartments can create very different sound conditions. Visit the exact unit when the trains and building systems are active.

The immediate neighborhood is still sparse

Residents mention limited grocery and restaurant choices within a short walk, despite the excellent subway access.

Office communication is less consistent than maintenance

A smaller group of residents describe difficult management interactions, fee or deposit concerns and slow resolution once a problem moves beyond a routine work order.

Amenities

ARC has in-unit laundry, through-wall heating and cooling, and a 24-hour attended lobby. A fitness club, rooftop saltwater pool, landscaped courtyard, lounges and coworking spaces form the shared amenity offering.

Location

ARC is located at 30-02 39th Avenue, New York, NY 11101. ARC is beside the 39th Avenue N/W station and close to Queens Plaza lines, making Midtown commutes unusually quick. The immediate area is more industrial and has fewer everyday shops than the Hunters Point waterfront.
