I lived at the New Gothem from 2003 to 2004. I had an Alcove Studio (apt 11C!). After searching and searching for "good" apartments in the city and living in nasty ones (East Village!) I finally found the New Gotham. Back then they offered me $1790 for the alcove, and for a apartment in the city thats not bad! The building was fairly new and none of the other tendants ever bothed me. (The lady across from me was pretty nice). The security guards where great! I miss Steve and Thomas. Do they still work their' The apartment was very nice and had a great veiw of the city. The area was pretty safe, but DO NOT WALK ON 11th ave At NIGHT! 11th and 10th arnt the best avenues at night, but 43rd st is pretty safe and 9th and 8th are okay because there is always people there, but 10th and 11th are dead at night I would sujest taking a cab at night. The only thing is you did have to walk 3 avenues to the subway, but the apt was worth it. The only thing is they rasied the rent. When I left they were going to charge close to $1900 for my apt! If I had of stayed in NYC I probably could of not aford it. But besides that it was great I miss it.

Revised: Actually I retract my prior comment. The rent is below market value, so the hike is reasonable. Where I lived before the rent was only raised abouyt $25-$40/yr., but my rent was less. At NG, my rent is over $1,000 below market value, so it's still a bargain.
