I lived here when this was an Equity building so my review pertains to that management company. First, the best feature was the neighborhood. Lincoln Square is very safe, quiet and close to transit. The building was solid, so the apartments were quiet. However, there were chronic issues that never got addressed — packages left unsecured and repeatedly lost, one or two of four elevators out virtually the entire two years I lived there. I had a ceiling leaking rainwater in my bedroom that they took six weeks to repair. I paid on time every month for two years, then they raised my rent 30% — bringing it above the market rate for the interior laminate floors and cheaper appliances. This forced me to move, and still they had the nerve to keep some of my security deposit. The apartment was very clean, yet they claimed it cost $200 to prep for the next tenant, who ended up paying less rent than they had demanded of me. Left a bad taste in my mouth and I would never rent from Equity property management.

Worst ever experience in NYC. Can you imagine you spent much time coming to an appointment but the leasing agent never show up? Evan Osur, he is an outside leasing agent. He will not show up the appointment .

Pros: leasing office, concierge is nice. I lived there for a year. I rented without checking the place first and I realized the first apartment didn’t have much natural light. I asked for a change of unit and they helped me with that. The rent was decent The location was near a park, a grocery store and a wine shop. Amenities are ok. Cons: rent keeps getting more expensive. It is kinda far from the subway, like 10mins walking with it was a lot for me in the winter. And it felt like a lot of walking to go to a coffee shop…Since its closer to the river, there was more wind so it was challenging going home in the winter.

The reason moving trucks are at this bldg several times weekly is bc of the mass EXODUS of its tenants. From the moment A&E bought 160, they completely destroyed it: •Elevators are consistently out of service for WEEKS at a time; •Common areas, elevators and hallways are filthy; •Visitors and deliveries aren’t screened/announced; •Strangers are allowed to freely enter the bldg; •No permanent doorman on post; •24hr security has been removed; •Repairs and maintenance are deplorable; The best part: They refuse to negotiate their insane rent increases. We are THRILLED to have just moved out of this overpriced, horribly managed dumpster.

Currently, I had really good experience with 160 Trump Place so I'd like to share with you guys. I lived in a beautiful river view corner unit from 2013 to 2014. Of course, every rental property has pros & cons but overall I had a good time with nice amenities and kind staffs. Currently I got my really important mail delivered to here and I have been there a day ago. The receptionist Sofie remembered me and she helped me so much. She even called me twice to calm me down and called everywhere to find my mail. She was kind and professional for whole time and now I understand why this building is a truly luxury one. It is easy to make nice looking front desk and kind staff while you live in the property. But not so many so called luxury buildings care about their previous tenant even after they move out. Thank you again Sofie, for your kindness and professionalism.

It’s OK for corporate housing, but not a good place to live. A lot of instability in the building and management doesn’t respond when repairs are needed. Elevators are often out. Riverside park is nice but you have the roar of Westside Highway, can be heard from apartments. There are much nicer places in Lincoln Square.

We recently moved into 160 Riverside Blvd. The experience has been more than we could have hoped for. The management team Rebecca in particular were great - very helpful, flexible, enthusiastic to help, showed us all the available apartments. When we were ready to sign a lease it was all very smooth. On taking over the apartment the walk-through was comprehensive, and the facilities team addressed everything that we identified. Without exception, the employees have been friendly, helpful and efficient. The building is quiet, and meets all our needs and expectations. And the pet policy is perfect for us, so our dog is happy too!

Caitlin is a phenomenal broker. She made us feel incredibly comfortable from the start with her warm, friendly, and relaxed demeanor. Never did we feel rushed or pushed in any way, and she answered all of our questions honestly and thoroughly with grace and understanding. Highly recommend.

The management recently changed for the Worst. The new management A&E Real Estate Management is doing a terrible job in managing this building. They are totally unresponsive in answering emails. phone calls regarding repairs and rent payment. and other issues. They have no online portal for residents., no information how to pay rent directly from bank. They only provided a PO Box number to send checks. Looking to get out of here as soon as my lease expires.

Beautifully located on Riverside Park in the UWS. Unbelievable management and employees! The front desk and other staff members made my move-in process absolutely seamless. The members of the leasing office are some of the kindest people I've met in NYC. In the first few weeks of my move-in, they would reach out to check in on how I was settling in and make sure all my questions were answered. I absolutely love this building and would recommend to anyone looking to move uptown.
