Ocean: Bye Bye Deposit (Not Recommending)

2010-01-02T09:55:55-06:00

From mister4000: Don't expect to get your deposit back. They do everything possible not to return your deposit. I had to fight tooth and nail for many many months to get mine.Overall, the building is gorgeous and well maintained with the potential for great views. However, the cramped gym is smelly, crowded, ... [click to read full apartment review]

2009-11-24T05:01:41-06:00

2009-05-11T10:29:52-06:00

From kphu: For those looking to move into Ocean, it's one of the best buildings...until you move out. After you move out, good luck getting your money back.

From -Anonymous-: I have lived in this building for the past year with my boyfriend, and must say it's a great building, great location, nice gym and beautiful roof deck.

2007-10-29T20:13:41-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I liked living in this building for it's views and because the apartments are generally nice. The negatives are the constant construction noise in the neighborhood and the management team, who are probably the biggest bunch of goons you ever met in your life. If a bunch of lobotomized orangutans ... [click to read full apartment review]

Ocean: Not Recommended (Not Recommending)

2007-01-26T15:35:37-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived at the Ocean for 2 years.
The place is allright, but its in a dead end of Battery Park, the Park is full of tourists so not a real refuge by any means.
The noise in this building is insane, one part coming from continous costruction (when facing the west ... [click to read full apartment review]

Ocean: Change of Heart (Recommending!)

2006-08-16T22:20:28-06:00

From jessbabe: When I first moved in our corner apartment in 2005, I must admit that I was not happy.

2006-03-31T12:01:27-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have a junior-4, which is good space for us with our young child. Kitchens and bath are not over-the-top designer stuff but are very clean and nice-looking nonetheless.

Ocean: What luxury? (Not Recommending)

2004-04-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The apartment was recently redone in overdone style. Yes, the lobby ceiling may be fancy, but the apartment windows whistle in moderate winds. The doormen never raise a finger to help; not with packages, suitcases, anything. Plus, what they don´t tell you is that they rent some apartments as an ... [click to read full apartment review]

2004-03-26T00:00:00-06:00

2004-03-14T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: We have lived here in the Ocean for almost a year. We were very excited when we first got here over the summer. But slowly, the insensitivity and inconsideration of somet tenants make it a difficult place to live. The walls are very thin and the noise from neighbors´ yelling, ...

Ocean: There are better apartments in Battery Park (Not Recommending)

2003-09-25T00:00:00-06:00

From mljohnson: The Management at the Ocean is terrible and this is something that cannot be fixed, and management is not like a light bulb or a closet that does not work properly. Management is not fixable. They are rude and very unprofessional. The whole building is only a beautiful facade. ... [click to read full apartment review]

Ocean: Dream location (Recommending!)

2003-06-13T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: Amazing location
Excellent light, hardwood floors, kitchen,
bathroom
If you have car, big time problems.

Overall good construction,
but closet construction sucks.

Ocean: Facelift is not enough. (Not Recommending)

2003-05-21T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: When this building was renovated to be apartments, the owners did a good job of giving it a pretty facelift. However, just below the surface, there are a lot of problems. Case in point: There is a mouse problem in the building that the owners denied existed-even after two mice ... [click to read full apartment review]
