Reviews

Summit combines dramatic views with a deeper amenity program than most Midtown East rentals. Resident feedback is strongest on the doormen, office and maintenance teams, though apartment quiet and management response are less consistent.

What residents praise

Staff make the building feel personal

Residents describe the doormen, office and maintenance teams as friendly and supportive through move-ins, repairs and even early lease transfers.

Views and apartments leave a strong impression

Residents praise the city views and comfortable homes, while the official program adds floor-to-ceiling windows, in-unit laundry and distinct tower and penthouse finish packages.

The amenity program covers work, sports and downtime

Residents value the facilities, which span an indoor lap pool, basketball and squash courts, fitness rooms, coworking spaces, a backyard and a skyline lounge.

What residents complain about

Noise can reach the apartments

Residents mention construction and other recurring noise around the building, making the apartment’s exposure and floor worth checking rather than assuming every high-floor home is quiet.

A few disputes involve management response or deposits

A smaller group describes slow help with apartment problems, contested floor-damage deductions or difficult communication after moving in.

Amenities

Summit has in-unit laundry, central air and a 24-hour attended lobby. Its recreation spaces include a fitness center, basketball and squash courts, indoor lap pool and terraces, with a valet garage and package room with cold storage.

Building records

Housing complaints are relatively uncommon compared with similar buildings, and almost all concern noise. An open rodent violation makes pest control worth asking about, alongside potential disruption from nearby conversions.
