StuyTown is pretty much the easiest way to get yourself into Manhattan. There are no broker's fees, the apartments are all pretty much the same (so you know what you're getting), and they renovate the apartments to update them before you move in. Also not a bad price for Manhattan... You will usually put up a wall to make a 2 bedroom a 3 bedroom, a 3 to a 4, etc.

Safe, all utilities included. Only downside is that it's not close to major train lines other than the L.

StuyTown is super well-managed with simple move-in procedures, responsive management and security teams, and good amenities. Unit was cleaned and painted when we moved in, and the move-in process was as painless as possible with the help of a dedicated move-in team. They require that you carpet the majority of the apartment, which limits noise from above units, though the walls can be thin if adjacent neighbors are making lots of noise. Location is extremely convenient - just a couple blocks from the L train, while the M15 bus and NYU shuttle pick up literally at the building's doorstep.

Has a lot of convenience - washer/dryer in every building, utilities included in rent, quiet and residential but steps from neighborhoods like East Village. Main drawback for me has been management that doesn't respond to non-emergency maintenance requests, and paper-thin walls.

Everyone knows what Manhattan looks like from far isn't how when you actually live like a local. You find old apartments with rats, squeaky floors, old style bathrrooms. But thats not the case in stuytown. Though the crowd is old here, but thats what makes it peaceful.

The reality is NYC is the most difficult place in the world to find a apartment. And an apartment with value for money is next to impossible. But thank god for Stuyvesant town. They made our job so easy and saves so much of our time. We are paying for something that we never imagined we would find in this neighborhood.

Great location with immediate access to public transport. M15 bus and 1st avenue metro station steps away from the community. Diverse neighborhood and tons of restaurant and nightlife options. Close proximity to NYU and SoHo for shopping. Overall, highly recommend this community.

I like the location. My favorite starbucks and chipotle and Duane reade, CVS pharmacy and papa johns are at a walking distance. Public transit, both bus and train L are at a walking distance. 4 and 5, the best train lines of NYC are at a walking distance too.

Stuyvesant is a very safe community and has value for money if you go onto to rent during the winter months. The apartments are spacious with a lot of storage options. There are a lot of bars, restaurants and cafes nearby. It is steps away from the L train at 1st avenue and about a 10 minute walk to Union Square station.

I love my home . I love the locality as it is pretty safe and there are patrolling cars all the time around the society. I would recommend this society to my friends and family as it provides the perfect enviroment for kids to grow up. It is situated in a very accessible area and all the modes of transport are seconds away from the apartment.
