The Orion Condominium

350 West 42nd Street, NY 100364.4 ★ (57 reviews)
Condominium

Summary

The Orion is a 551-residence Hell's Kitchen condominium with owner-listed rentals, expansive views, doorman and concierge service, a large fitness program, indoor lap pool and outdoor decks. Residents praise the staff, layouts and amenities; the busy Port Authority setting and slow management follow-through are the most consistent drawbacks.

Reviews

Residents are especially positive about the views, practical layouts, doormen and extensive recreation spaces. The main tradeoffs concern the immediate Port Authority blocks and a smaller set of management, deposit and building-service problems.

What residents praise

Views and layouts stand out

Residents describe broad city views, large windows and well-planned rooms that make the apartments comfortable and easy to furnish.

The door staff feel unusually personal

Long-term residents repeatedly praise courteous doormen and other building staff who are friendly, attentive and willing to help.

The recreation program is a real draw

The fitness center, indoor pool and shared lounges or decks are consistently named among the building's strongest features.

What residents complain about

The Port Authority setting is intense

Residents value the transit access but describe the surrounding blocks as busy and sometimes uncomfortable, especially immediately around the bus terminal.

Management follow-through can be slow

Critical accounts mention delayed responses, a difficult deposit dispute and a prolonged building-service interruption.

Amenities

The Orion has a 24-hour attended lobby, an indoor lap pool and fitness club, three sun decks and an attached garage. In-unit laundry is standard on the upper floors, with a common laundry room serving the building.
