Overall I had a wonderful experience with the Ellington. Preston does a wonderful job with tours of the building. The handymen and doormen were top notch. They were always efficient, helpful, and kind. Huge props to the community manager Alexis! She is prompt, communicative, accommodating, and went above and beyond for me. If you choose to live here you will be in good hands!

I have lived at The Ellington for 16 years, and it’s the only building in Manhattan that I’ve ever in! Over the years, I’ve even moved apartments within the building, and that experience was also seamless and perfect. The apartments here are notably more spacious than those in other doorman buildings in the area, and the pricing is much more competitive as well. Although the building itself dates back to the late 1980s, the apartments have been thoughtfully renovated over time, offering modern and stylish interiors. One feature I particularly appreciate is the on-site gym, which is included without any additional fees—a rarity in the city. The building’s staff, including the super and team members like Raul, Juan, and Pedro, are incredibly friendly and responsive. Anytime I’ve needed a repair or replacement, it’s been handled quickly and efficiently, which makes living here all the more stress-free. One amenity I’ve always wished for is outdoor space, and I’m thrilled that a lounge with outdoor seating is set to open in the spring of 2025! I’m eagerly looking forward to enjoying this new addition—I’m hoping it will have an outdoor shower to make the summer days even better. I can’t recommend The Ellington enough. It’s a wonderful place to call home!

I recently signed a new lease in this building and it's been a great experience overall. Building is in great condition. Recent renovations of the bathrooms are fantastic. The units themselves are very spacious, offering plenty of room to make yourself at home. The building team is exceptional — super helpful, friendly, and proactive. From the leasing office, which ensured my move-in process was seamless, to the maintenance crew, who have been quick to respond to any requests, the staff really set this place apart from any of the other buildings I've lived in. It’s clear they care about the residents' experience. Overall, highly recommend this building for anyone looking for a central, well-maintained, and professionally managed apartment in NYC.

We’ve been living in The Ellington for about two weeks now and we couldn’t be happier to have chosen this place to call it our home. Since the moment we visited the building from the moment we settled in, all staff has been extremely kind, effective, and accommodating. The leasing agents were extremely helpful, thorough, and responsive through our application process. Moving in was smooth and stress free. Maintenance is very responsive and fast, and all staff has been amazing with us. The apartment’s size is perfect, plenty of storage space, amazing light coming in, renewed bathroom, and top-notch appliances. Everything we need is right outside and even though it is a busy area, noise is not an issue. If you are considering The Ellington, don’t think twice!
