I’ve lived in Argyle hall for almost 4 years and it is great. I live in one of the studios which is really big enough to be a one bedroom. And when I first moved in the rent was only $900! I currently live in my studio with my boyfriend which is a challenge, but because the closets are so spacious and the layout is so well planned, it seems to work out. And I agree that the maintenance crew is awesome. So are the doormen. And in general people are very friendly in the building. Its a fun mix of all different types. My only complaint is that during the winter you can hear your neighbors, but compared to other large buildings it really isn’t that bad. And the pool is kind of a waste. I wish it kept longer hours, but at least its there at all right?

@ Andrea
We moved directly into a “junior” two bedroom, which is definitely a real two bedroom (both rooms with lots of light on the corner of the building) and huge by comparison to more expensive neighborhoods. We are at $1650 as of april and there is only one larger style apartment available to my knowledge.

We looked at the building recently. The junior 2 bedroom is actually the same apt as a 1 bedroom, but they have enclosed the dining room for the second bedroom and they charge $100 more (+?) for them. (It’s the same at 415 Stratford). We were told that the 2 bedrooms are usually rented to people moving from within the building and for those there are long waiting lists. Not sure if that is true. Nice apartments, though!

@inez Yes, the application process is a bit involved [at least it seemed so to me; maybe it's standard]. The management company works with one realtor only [they're listed on the site] so if you’re interested, you need to contact the realtor. I don’t think there’s currently a waiting list as, in our last rent bill, there was a “refer someone who rents and get a $250 credit” form.

Oops. Forgot to say that we pay $1600 and that includes heat and hot water.

I’ve lived here with my boyfriend for 2 years now and I love it. We live in a junior 2 bedroom and this place is HUGE [for example, the living room is 12 by 33 feet...yes, THIRTY THREE FEET...I almost peed myself when we first saw it]. The maintenance is impeccable, the doormen are great and the neighbors are super friendly. I’ve never actually used the pool so I can’t comment on that but, check this out: there are seven closets in here [one of which is a walk-in]. Verdict? I feel like I hit the jackpot in finding this place.

shhhh…stop talking about how great our buildings are! Ahhh, who am I kidding, it ain’t a secret anymore… I’ve lived in the “sister” building on Westminster for 14 years. I love living here…spacious sunny convenient etc (all of the above reasons).

The real downside? The is no insulation in the walls and ceilings and the sounds from your neighbors can drive you bonkers. Last tenant upstairs? KIDZILLA lived there…running, crashing, banging…oh lordy lordy…thank god they moved…. I’m lucky now, both up, down and sideways are great.

I also have lots of friends living in both the buildings!
