Briarcliff

The building is well maintained, but considering the high maintenance, I feel all amenities should be free to shareholders. We have to pay to reserve the community room, pay for our parking spot as well as extra for the garage clicker. It wasn’t until recent years that we were even allowed to use the pool for free, for years an additional membership was required. Also, this building is for those with a small baby or retirees. Don’t expect this to be an investment, as you’ll never really be able to rent, and their strict no pet policy deters future buyers from even considering it. Are you someone who enjoys entertaining? Well forget it, here the walls are thin and bedrooms are adjacent to neighbors living rooms. If you get a mean and grouchy neighbor as I did you’ll be forced to coordinate dinner parties and holiday get together a for when they’re out of town. Also, there seems to have always been issues with pipes, plumbing, etc where they demand entrance to your unit whether you are there or not. I have never experienced such a thing in another building. After a while you will start to feel that although it’s technically your «home» you really have no freedom, privacy, or say so.

This is a great building. The apts are very large with great closet space and incredible views. All the amenities — valet, ²⁴⁄₇ doorman, pool, gym, etc. Easy commute to NYC. Best of all, the staff is wonderful. I lived there for many years and loved every second there.

Terrific building! Very good management as well.
