The Ashley

I have been renting apartments in NYC for over 10 years-​and I have to say that Dyanna Bruno and her entire crew in the leasing office could not have been more accommodating and patient with my clients. My clients were from Chile (I am a real estate broker in Manhattan), Dyanna showed the apartments on several occasions,.re-showed the apartments when their parents came to town. She explained the entire process and really went to bat for my clients to get them everything they asked for. She made the application and lease signing easy and was engaging, professional and personable throughout. You can tell a lot about a building and a landlord by how they treat the brokers who bring in potential renters-​and they are among my favorite. Thanks for a stand up job-​and I would encourage any of my rental agents colleagues to be sure and bring your clients to The Ashley first!

I have been living here since it was built 3 years ago and now starting my 4^th year at Ashley.
The staff are very responsive and friendly, there is nothing I can complain or feel unhappy about. I feel that the management did a good job at hiring the right people here.
The building was sold to Windsor recently from the previous owner Rose associates but there is absolutely no impact on the tenants. In fact Windsor is more responsive to our feedback and seek to improve the community living all the time.
The GYM is a stunner, I got sold the moment I walked into the gym!
I took a star away as there is a new construction right behind the building now and at times it get a little noisy but tolerable so far. Also the free shuttle bus service is limited to weekdays only, I wish they can start offering every hourly on weekend.

I’ve been here for 10 months now and can’t believe how wonderful the experience has been. I just signed on for another two years. I echo the raves of the other reviewers especially regarding maintenance. As a 65 year old single woman, I feel 100% safe and secure in this building. I rely on the morning shuttle and think it’s a great amenity. I’ve made use of the courtyard, the library and the kids’ playroom. In fact, when I was looking at different buildings, my daughter who was accompanying me said, «If you move here, we (she and her 2 year old daughter) will visit you ALL the time!» And she has. This place has a lot to offer, even though it’s a bit far afield from the activity on Broadway.

We have been living here for 2 ½ years and we totally love the building!
All the staff members are very nice and helpful.
The amenities are very high level
Is a very pleasant experience to live here!

We’ve lived here for over a year now and have absolutely loved it! (We moved in right when construction was being completed.)
1. The apartments — They’re beautiful and clean, with top notch appliances and great light (as far as we know). Whenever there are issues (like lightbulbs going out or clogged drains), maintenance people come by same day and fix asap! This is totally new for us — in past apartments, we always had to wait days and days. Everyone here is super responsive. The apartments are also pretty soundproof, we rarely hear noise from other units.
2. The people — Everyone who works here is amazing! Doormen, maintenance guys, management, people in the gym. Really feels like a home, compared to other places we’ve lived where they felt like dorms. Neighbors are also friendly and respectful.
3. Pets — We recently got a puppy and the building is dog friendly! Took very little time to get all the paperwork sorted out and had no problem at all.
4. The gym — Most beautiful gym I’ve ever seen. Sad to say we don’t use it near-​enough, but it has all state of the art equipment, a great pool, a golf simulator. our friends love to visit :)
5. Transportation — When we signed our lease, we weren’t even aware that it’s a straight shot to the 66^th street 1 train (via the Lincoln center underground)! In the morning I take the shuttle either to 72^nd or 59^th, so it’s pretty convenient to get to different subway lines on the west side. It’s also pretty easy to catch cabs and then go downtown via the west side highway.
Like another reviewer noted, there aren’t very many restaurants. In the summer there’s the Pier 70 café, otherwise you do need to walk over to Columbus Circle or the 70’s, though seamless has some pretty good options. It does make you exercise more to get to food, or cook more, which can be a good thing.
In the winter, it can get pretty cold and windy, but the lovely spring, summer, and fall on the water make it all worth it for us and our puppy. All in all, so far a great experience.

this is a gorgeous rental apartment on UWS, near to west end highway. Friendly people working here and it’s located at a quiet neighborhood but yet easy access to the midtown crowd. It’s one of the hottest building in upper west and has the most awesome gym! From pool, basketball court, rock climbing, bowling, golf etc, practically when it’s cold outside you can really stay home and enjoy the amenities.
There are few supermarkets here as well so another great point. From mon-​fri, free shuttle in the morn and evening to Columbus circle/​72^nd subway.
Its not cheap but if you only gonna live once, enjoy it if it won’t break your bank!
Only shortcoming is not many restaurants around here but there is always seamless web!

Beautiful apartments on the Upper West Side on W63rd St. between Riverside Blvd and West End Ave. The building is one of many high rises in the area (close to the Rushmore, Trump Towers, Archstone).
The building is still under going some construction but is mostly open and ready for rentals. The staff are amazing, such nice guys! They are always willing to help and friendly to chat with. The 40,000 sq/​ft amenity space (shared with the condo building the Aldyn) just opened this week and I have to say I was beyond impressed. It is even nicer than the Equinox I belong to in Boston (which was also brand new). The space includes a full gym with pilates/​yoga studios, spinning and fitness classes, swimming pool, full basketball court, two lane bowling alley, rock climbing wall — all for only $ 300/​apartment plus and additional $ 100 for other adults in the apartment for the life of you living there! Pretty great deal! I was a bit annoyed that it took 4 months to get the amenities open, but I’m getting over that now!
The location is really nice — steps away from the Riverside Parkway — beautiful! You can take the bike path all the way down to Chelsea Piers and the southern tip of Manhattan! Pier 1 and the Boat Basin aren’t far either if you are looking for some fun and food by the Hudson! There is also a park/​playground in front of the building which is great if you have kids or dogs. We are also only a couple of blocks away from Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle, Upper West side restaurants (between 72 – 85 on Columbus/​Broadway/​Amersterdam) and Hells Kitchen.
I would recommend this apartment building in a heartbeat! I am loving my NYC life here.
