Reviews

Hudson 36's views, transit access and front-line staff make a strong first impression. Resident feedback changes sharply around the apartment exposure: construction on several sides can dominate the daytime experience, while management and interior quality receive uneven reviews.

What residents praise

Leasing and front-desk staff often make the difference

Residents praise agents who coordinate tours and move-ins carefully, along with friendly doormen and responsive maintenance staff.

Views and Hudson Yards access are major strengths

The 7 train, Whole Foods, Hudson Boulevard Park and skyline views are close, making the location especially convenient for Hudson Yards routines.

Modern apartments and amenities appeal

Residents describe bright homes, contemporary finishes, a well-equipped gym and useful shared spaces.

What residents complain about

Surrounding construction can overwhelm the apartment

Residents across multiple sources describe drilling and banging for long daytime stretches, with noise and future view changes varying by exposure.

Management and billing follow-through are inconsistent

Complaints include slow email responses, unresolved rent calculations, delayed deposit returns and an unhelpful tone when problems persist.

Noise insulation and apartment systems need a close check

Residents report mechanical ticking, loud HVAC, thin walls, poorly sealed windows, appliance problems and finish defects in some homes.

Midtown West high-rise with a washer-dryer, central air and dishwasher in every residence, a 24-hour doorman, and a package room with cold storage. Amenities include a fitness center with hot tub and steam room, a BBQ roof deck with river views, and an attended indoor garage.
