Rental building
Website

Summary

The Hayden combines a large fitness center, basketball court and roof spaces with a convenient Long Island City location. Long-term residents often praise maintenance and the building staff. Front-desk experiences are less uniform, and surrounding development means older photographs may not reflect an apartment’s current view.

Reviews
