Lenox Terrace Apartments

you end up paying brokers fee, which is expensive.

longer felt valuable. But that's not even what immediately drove me out. After being there for two years, I saw a rodent run across my floor. I called the building management and was told that they would sign me up for the exterminators next visit. No urgency to address the problem whatsoever. The porter even offered to come check it out for me, and they didn't permit him to do so. So I decided to be a big girl, be patient and let them fix it. Well, to make a very long story shorter, they sent maintenance and the exterminator to my apartment at least 4 different times and the mice kept coming. We caught about 3 or 4, but it had gotten to the point where I literally saw one scale my wall and climb over the counter. My boyfriend saw one climb the curtain and walk curtain rod. There were droppings everywhere. Keep in mind that I lived on the 15th floor. You would think they would offer me another apartment. Nope. After emailing the management company on numerous occasions for months, they finally let me out of my lease and tried to charge me penalties (which I fought and won, thank God). So be wary of this place. I knew others who have lived there and didn't have any issues, and others who have and just dealt with it. I am traumatized by it all, to say the least.

thru my kitchen window because that's how close I was to the street. True Story. Needless to say, I moved on up (and out) like the Jeffersons. Now I live in a 900 square ft, 1 bedroom apt.(in the same building) with a terrace and it's expensive like most in this city, but it's mine. I converse with neighbors, tip my doorman, and take turns blasting my music with my next door neighbor, who owns Saturday mornings for his Bob Marley speaker party. It's Harlem. And for 14 plus years, it's been my own.

Manhattan. I can see as far north as the Washington Bridge that connects Manhattan to New Jersey. I can also see as far south as the Upper West side. The 12th floor apartment in which I live is located in Central Harlem. The building in which my apartment is located serves as the showcase building for all properties that comprise the housing complex where I live. This particular apartment building has a beautiful circular driveway that is adjacent to one of the more vibrant streets located in Harlem. There are doormen in all buildings in the complex, ready to assist tenants, as well as visitors. We have merchants, located in front of the building where I live, selling good produce. Also some of the merchants in the same location, play beautiful music during the day to provide a pleasant feeling of belonging to a vibrant community. I must admit that I found an ideal place to live in, where it's relatively difficult to find a New York-affordable apartment with such great amenities, and management. It also helps a lot that the nearest sources of public transportation--both subway and buses, are less than a block away from my apartment. Last, but not least, one famous New York Public Library--the Schomburg, is also adjacent to the subway stop that is near my apartment. I'm glad that I decided to live in the apartment that I've chosen, and as long as I live in New York City, there is no other apartment that I would rather have.

would highly recommend living here.
