Summary

The Alexander is a 312-apartment Rego Park rental with broad views, in-home laundry, a fitness center, resident lounge, game and children's rooms, a landscaped terrace and parking. Residents consistently praise the concierge and maintenance teams, cleanliness and subway access; pet odors, smoke entering some homes, occasional wear and steep renewal increases are the main drawbacks.

Reviews

The Alexander earns especially strong feedback for its front-line staff and practical family amenities. Most criticism is narrower and apartment-specific, with exposure, pets and the condition of an older luxury building shaping the experience.
