Great experience. A lot of information was requested and it was cumbersome, but we also understand the process. We are happy and glad to recommend other prospective tenants to this building if need be.

I'm quiet, clean, and friendly. I enjoy occasional interaction with neighbors and staff. I think Juan and his team are great. There are little things like fitness equipment upgrades, more frequent updates to appliances, and updating various things like cabinets, shelving, and the lounge. The building is in good shape overall, but starting to show its age.

I've been living here in The Balton since the building opened and I've been mostly satisfied. The staff is efficient and courteous. The door man (Julio) is fantastic! I would recommend this building to any of my friends or colleagues.

The Balton is cool community. Everyone knows each other. Many people have lived here since the building opened. The staff is pleasant ND always willing to help. The building is kept relatively clean ND problems are usually addressed in a timely fashion.

This is a great building and the fact that its rent stabilized with so many wonderful amenities makes it a gem for tenants. The common spaces could be a little better maintained but overall the maintenance staff do a great job.

I love the people in my building. They are all so kind and friendly and good neighbors 90% of the time. Couldn't ask for more in the place where I live. The staff is also so wonderful and kind and timely with their jobs and working with us. Very lucky to have them and be in the beautiful space we live in.

I cannot say enough great things about The Ballton. From the moment I moved in, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism by the management team, who go above and beyond to ensure residents feel at home. The building is impeccably maintained, with spotless common areas, modern amenities, and top-notch security that gives me peace of mind. The apartment itself is spacious and equipped with high-end finishes that make city living both comfortable and stylish. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the views of Harlem's historic streetscape is simply stunning.

The property is maintained well on the inside and outside. Any issues are typically handled quickly and properly. The maintenance are helpful and professional. Although the rent is HIGH, it is low comparing to what you will rent in it's equivalent in size, location and amenities.

So far so good. It looks safe and friendly. The amenities are great for New York, and ratio price/size is amazing. The fact that it's rent stabilized too. Great for the kids with the playroom. Keep doing what you're doing!
