I LOVED living here!
I lived here for about a year and just moved out at the end of September 2023. I loved it!
PROS: environment is a block off the Hudson River path and consists of a tree-lined oasis between two parks - the absolute best neighborhood with a cleaners/restaurants/Pilates-Yoga studio within a 2 minute walk, a grocery on the first floor of the building and breathtaking views as soon as you walk out; best place in the world if you have a dog - you can literally go out in the middle of the night and... not feel unsafe and there are several grassy areas with beautiful views; the entire staff (management-Dave/Jericka, concierge-Christine/Marta/Whitley, and maintenance) really go above and beyond to provide residents with a superior, stress-free, and convenient living experience and, to top it off - they are kind; convenience - literally an 8 minute (pleasant) walk to the ferry that goes over to Midtown and the Financial District; layout - the rooms have great finishes, large closets/baths, higher than average ceilings and just feel instantly "comfortable;" parking - a little pricey but right there in the building.
CONS: None really -- the kitchens/baths, while roomy/spacious, were a little dated but they're currently updating them beautifully; the rent went up fairly significantly in a year but that's more a function of the real estate market and the fact that the building is in demand because it really is great.
I am now able to work 100% remotely but if I ever need to get a place in/near the City again, I will probably go right back to 55 Riverwalk. I looked at several of the other buildings in the area and found that, unless I wanted to purchase a condo, it's probably the best rental in the area.
