Im currently living downtown at 10 Hanover Square...I absolutely LOVE the building and the amenties as well as my place but I want to live in a different part of the city when my lease expires in september.

I've heard mixed reviews about peter cooper village...can anyone give me any first hand reviews about it? I know they have quite spacious places for nyc's standards and I've also heard the rents have gone up significantly this year (around 2700-2800 for a one bedroom, i think)...while that price is ok for me I'm wondering about the quality of the apartments, the maintenance, the security, the managment etc....

Any opinions or views would be highly appreciated...I really like that the peter cooper one beds are almost 900 and some odd square feet large , which by nyc standards is pretty massive!

And if you have any better options let me know...I perferably want a doorman building, gym, and nice clean units (i know pc/stuy does not have a doormany or a gym)...I think i've been spoiled living at 10 hanover cuz the units and amenties there are gorgeous www.10hanover.com

My budget is around 2800 but perferably less, and a 1 bedroom is a must (no duplex or converted studios).

Thanks!!

Here is the link to the Peter Cooper apartments and some other options. Most have a virtual tour or pictures of the units.

The one beds at Peter Cooper/Stuyvesant start at $2500. How much are the Hanover Square and how far is it from the school?

I live in stuy town actually, it's through NYU's grad housing..while it's a really nice apt im paying 6200 a semester which works out to 1550 a month which is a bit steep considering it's a 2 bedroom apt..the only real problem i have is the location, unfortunately out of all the buildings i got stuck in the farthest one (20th and Ave C) so i feel a bit isolated out here, if i would have gotten one of the buildings on first ave it probably would have been a lot better. Overall though it's a nice area but you don't really feel like you're living in the middle of the city, there's little parks all around and the majority of the people that live here are young families or old people, im not sure yet where i'll be living next year though, i should probably start looking though

I'm curretnly paying 2250 for a studio w/home office which is practically a one bedroom but the bedroom does not have a seperate door to its enterance...the one beds start at 2600 but thats if you cna find it on the 2nd floor every floor above that is 30 bucks more per floor and i'm living on the 19th...the building however is very very nice...if you check out the website you'll see what i mean, it's exactly as shown...minus the lounge which isn't ready yet...

it takes me about 13 mins to get to college from there, i jump on the 4 and then transfer to the 6 at union square and walk or bus it to 1st ave from lex.
