111 Kent Avenue

This is the place to be in NYC. My partner and I have moved apartments almost every year of our 12 year relationship together. We have been at 111 Kent for almost 3 years so that says something. We love the view of Manhattan from the apartment. I love having two elevators for a building that is only 7 stories tall. The rooftop is amazing, and the staff that work here make you feel appreciated and taken care of.

111 Kent has been an amazing place to call home! After living in Midtown Manhattan for 12 years, Williamsburg has been an exciting change of pace. It's no less vibrant, but its relaxed, friendly and has a neighborhood vibe that was lacking in Midtown. With so much new construction, choosing a place in North Williamsburg was difficult, but I picked 111 Kent because:1. This particular location along the River allows for quick access to the L train as well as epic summer sunset views. An added bonus: during hot summer days it's always much cooler along the river than it is 3 or 4 blocks inland. 2. The apartments here were built to a high standard. Other neighboring rental buildings seem to have used cheap interior finishes/materials, but my apartment at 111 Kent feels more like a condominium.3. Instead of wall units, my apartment has the HVAC components integrated into the ceiling. This might not sound like a big deal, but it allows for all of my floor space to be utilized and the A/C system makes almost no noise. It's a real luxury!4. The floor plan of my apartment is unique and provides tons of light---even in the depths of winter. It's very different than some of the cookie-cutter spaces I saw in other properties.5. The staff is both friendly and responsive. Problems I have encountered have been dealt with immediately and without hassle. I cannot say enough good things about the 111 Kent staff!6. The building just underwent a significant makeover which made big difference, particularly in the hallways and corridors. Friends who thought I was crazy to move out of Manhattan are now constantly asking to come visit me in Williamsburg which makes me happy to have picked 111 Kent for my Brooklyn home.
