The Modern Apartments

I don't often write reviews, but the staff at the Modern is so consistently impressive that I felt I had to write this one. Anytime something needs to be fixed or taken care of, Adam is there and on top of things right away (which I really appreciate). I'm sure that's a direct reflection of management and their mindset regarding tenants so here's to you guys!

I have had a great experience living here, but the real standout is Nicole Coates. She is incredibly professional and a true problem-solver. In a market where property management can often feel impersonal, Nicole goes above and beyond to work with tenants and find solutions that make sense for everyone. If you are looking for a place where the management actually cares about the resident experience, this is it. Five stars for Nicole!

I have been living here for over 2 years and the change in the new management handled by Nicole Coates is exceptional. She is responsive even on the weekends and goes out of her way to show courtesy to us and other tenants in the building. Adam, the new Super/Manager is awesome too. Good dude and overall good people. Thank you Nicole and Adam for the amazing turnaround from the previous management.

I have lived at the Modern for almost two years and renewing again. The complex provides convenient parking and has one of the best locations in town with proximity to the downtown area and the train to Manhattan. The property manager Nikole is excellent and any time i have asked her for something she has responded in under 24 hours! The maintenance staff is top notch and keeps the building spotless and the gym and the pool round out what i consider to be a full service luxury elevator building; wish i could buy my unit!

Been a resident of The Modern for 6+ years, through multiple owners and management companies. It's a great building - and a great place to live. It's right downtown - I catch Metro-north trains and leave the building 2 minutes before their arrival - and yet there's little if any train (or downtown) noise. Saw some other reviews mentioning bugs - with photos. Those are lantern flies that have been popping up everywhere the past few years. I have a patio unit and have grown an herb and vegetable garden each summer I've lived here - those lantern appear in the garden, as well. Sort of like complaining about cicadas. The current management is highly responsive to suggestions and requests. The super fixed one of my heaters in 5 minutes the other day, and just returned to take care of something else - all within two days of my request. I also work an unusual overnight shift - I sleep until after 1pm every day. Every staffer has been amazingly understanding - and has worked with me and my schedule since it began - no one has ever entered my apartment without warning, or while I slept, or while I was in the shower. And I'd be the single most likely person here to experience that. The Modern is not a "super luxury, high convenience" top-end building (nor do rents reflect that). It does not have a 24-hour doorman, or full-time concierge - no one sorts the packages in the mail room, residents do that themselves. Really, they just let people live as they want to live, and only get involved in disputes or when problems arise - which seems like the approach most people would want and seek. It may not be for the "bespoken suit" and "top-end fashion" set (then again, perhaps it can be!)... But it's a darn nice place to call home, in the heart of our hardscrabble and ever-evolving village. Fallen in love with Port Chester and the Modern is my happy home. Would be more likely to move out of PC altogether than to consider swapping my place here for something in one of the newer buildings that are going up. See you round the mailroom or pool sometime!
