340 On The Park

I lived here for a year and a half with my boyfriend-​I had previously lived in The Shoreham and Aqua, this was the 3^rd high-​rise within the New East Side I had lived in–
The residents in this building are more settled and you will not have the noise factor here at all-​This is a condo bldg where some owners rent, so the residents do have money and are older-​However there are a handful or younger residents and a couple of families–
I will list the pros of this building:
1) Convenient location, above a grocery store, CVS next door, restaurants–
2) Great gym, not as nice as Aqua’s, but not full of douche-​bags either–
3) Staff is great and very helpful–
4) Pretty decent structure, never heard noise like you would at Shoreham or Aqua–
Cons:
1) The condo owners are a little stiff, which makes sense but I think there are some very bored people living here-​For instance… there is no need for a HUGE fan in the gym-​I never saw anyone that looked like an athlete busting a sweat so intense that they need a 3 foot NFL fan blowing at them-​The gym is meant to «warm up» the body… I bet the owner association meeting are intense here for someone wanted that fan pretty bad–
2) Mariano’s causes a lot of foot traffic, so it is very, very busy by the building–
3) GEM’s Academy is now open so a lot of families/​kids have moved into the area-​I moved into the New East Side in 2009 and it was very different, it’s very populated now, good or bad thing-​If you like kids then you’ll be happy in the area–
4) Heating/​Cooling is so annoying in the bldg and the monthly bill is high-​I believe they are correcting this issue now or is already corrected–
Overall this is a very nice bldg-​Management is limited though, they take off early and are not in on the weekends, but the front desk staff can help with almost everything–
This is for a person that doesn’t want to live in the loop, by the el and doesn’t want to live in a bldg with young people-​Ideal for me, but wanted to try a new area–
