Summary

The Anthem is a 480-apartment Kips Bay rental with a 24-hour concierge, an 8,000-square-foot gym and saunas, a landscaped rooftop, resident lounge, playroom and on-site parking. Long-term residents strongly praise the doormen and maintenance team; summer cooling costs and noise that varies by exposure are the recurring practical tradeoffs.

Reviews

The strongest pattern is unusually consistent praise for the doormen, maintenance and management staff, including from residents who stayed for many years. Apartment exposure matters: south-facing higher floors can be quieter and brighter, while other homes pick up more street or neighbor noise and cooling costs can be high.

What residents praise

The staff inspire long-term loyalty

Residents repeatedly describe doormen, maintenance and management staff who know them by name, make the building feel safe and treat them like neighbors.

Repairs are handled quickly

Maintenance requests are often resolved within hours, and long-term residents describe the building as consistently clean and well run.

The gym, roof and location work well together

Residents value the large gym and sauna, landscaped roof, nearby groceries and a central walkable location.

What residents complain about

Cooling can be expensive

Some residents report loud or inefficient air conditioning and very high summer electric bills, so ask for typical utility costs for the exact apartment.

Noise changes with the exposure

Homes facing busy 34th Street or louder neighbors can pick up more noise, while higher south-facing apartments are often described as quieter.

Amenities

The Anthem is a full-service Murray Hill rental with a 24-hour doorman, concierge and porter, seven elevators and an attended valet garage in the building. Washer/dryers are in select apartments (standard in three-bedrooms), with a fifth-floor central laundry room for everyone; the 8,000-square-foot health club and roof garden are residents-only.
