Summary

City Tower is a 439-apartment Downtown Brooklyn rental above the City Point retail complex, with high-floor views, in-unit laundry, a roof deck, fitness center, basketball court and lounges. Residents praise the location, staff and generally spacious layouts, while recurring smoke infiltration, leasing or deposit disputes and uneven pest or floor-level conditions are the main cautions.

Reviews

City Tower combines one of Downtown Brooklyn’s most convenient addresses with friendly staff, quick routine maintenance and practical apartment sizes. The strongest negative pattern is smoke traveling between homes, followed by difficult application or move-out disputes and unit-specific pest concerns.

What residents praise

The location is exceptionally convenient

Residents value living above City Point with Trader Joe’s, Target, restaurants and several subway lines within a few minutes.

Staff and maintenance are generally responsive

Residents describe friendly doormen and leasing staff, with maintenance requests often handled quickly and common areas kept clean.

Layouts, closets and views add practical value

Residents praise larger rooms, useful storage, good windows and high-floor views, along with laundry rooms on each floor or in-unit laundry in advertised homes.

What residents complain about

Smoke can travel into neighboring apartments

Multiple residents describe persistent cigarette or marijuana odor entering through vents or from nearby homes despite reporting it to management.

Applications and move-out charges can become contentious

Applicants and former residents report poor communication around unit holds, documentation and security-deposit deductions, making written terms important.

Pest and noise exposure varies by floor

A prospective renter reported recently disclosed bedbug incidents on one floor, while other residents mention occasional roaches, neighbor noise or nearby construction rather than a uniform building-wide problem.

Amenities

City Tower has in-unit laundry, a 24-hour attended lobby and a fitness center. Residents have landscaped outdoor terraces, a lounge and package service above the City Point shops.
