Reviews

Residents value the doormen, maintenance team and unusually broad set of shared spaces. The recurring drawbacks are less consistent management response, hallway and trash-room upkeep, pests and noise in particular apartment lines.

What residents praise

Maintenance and lobby staff respond quickly

Long-term residents describe knowledgeable maintenance workers and friendly doormen who handle repairs and everyday requests efficiently.

The amenity program covers work, fitness and outdoor time

Residents use the gym, basketball court, coworking areas and roof spaces, with the shuttle helping offset the longer subway walk.

Some apartments feel spacious and quiet

Positive accounts mention useful layouts and limited neighbor noise, although the result depends on the apartment's position in the building.

What residents complain about

Cleanliness and pests recur in critical reviews

Residents describe messy hallways or trash rooms and sightings of mice, roaches or other pests, with follow-up varying by incident.

Bathroom ventilation and finishes need inspection

Several residents report yellow residue after showers, limited ventilation and finish problems that were not fully resolved by maintenance.

Noise and transit access vary by side of the building

South-facing homes can pick up bass from Terminal 5, and the subway is a longer walk despite the weekday resident shuttle.

Amenities

The Max has in-unit laundry, central air and a 24-hour attended lobby. Shared spaces include a double-height fitness center, basketball court, yoga room and roof decks, with a laundry room, attended garage and package room.
