    • *Read Before Signing Lease*

      January 13, 2021
      I currently live in apt 1240 at Plaza 50 and I would strongly recommend people look elsewhere before signing a lease for any apartment located above the big house gym! The combination of the noise/vibrations from the gym makes it extremely difficult to live in these apartments.  The apartment literally shakes when gym members below deadlift or drop dumbbells. The gym is also 24 hours so it is almost non stop during the day and will continue in the middle of the night as well.  It makes it almost ...
      impossible to sleep/live in these apartments without getting headaches and anxiety. As for the other aspects of plaza 50, the underground parking is a plus and the staff is good to work with when you can get ahold of them.  Bottom line, I would look elsewhere.
