I lived at Carnegie Mews for 2.5 years, and I can confidently say this is one of the best residential buildings in the Columbus Circle and Mid-town area. I'm only leaving due to a job relocation, but would return in a heartbeat. Several friends and colleagues have also chosen to live here, which speaks volumes about the building's reputation. For the location and amenities offered, Carnegie Mews provides outstanding value - honestly possibly unmatched.
The location is unbeatable - directly across from Central Park, with everything you need at your footsteps; (Whole Foods, Morton Williams, and a 24-hour bodega across the street); multiple subway lines (NQR, ACE, 1, F); Equinox and other gyms just blocks away; Hell’s Kitchen restaurants and bars;, 5th Ave .. just overall super central location that’s super easy to get to anything you need or want pretty quickly.
The building itself exceeds expectations - there’s a 24 hour doorman and laundry in the building. I lived in the C-line, so was lucky enough to have an incredible view of the park. The units are modern and updated, I never heard any neighbors through walls, maintenance was a breeze, water pressure is great, they offer a dry cleaning service in the building so that made it easy for my work shirts. Overall checked the box for everything I could want
What truly sets Carnegie Mews apart is the staff. Doormen Calixo and Tommy are amazing, they even used to bring my packages directly to me when I entered the building and was waiting for the elevator. Special mention to Vincent, the leasing manager, who has been consistently fair with renewals.

I have been living in the building for more than 5 years. The building is very well maintained and clean at all times. The staff is exceptional, very helpful and cooperative. Any maintenance issues you may have in the apartment are resolved within a few hours. The apartments are huge for NYC standards, plenty of closet space. The location is great, close to Central Park, Times Sq, theater district, nice restaurants and bars.
There is no rooftop per se, but you are allowed to go up and enjoy the nice views the building has to offer. I read a lot of complaints about the noise in reviews by other people and hence would like to mention that we now have double paned windows and noise is no longer an issue. The only reason i gave it 4 star was because of elevator issues that the building has sometimes. We once got stuck in the elevator for almost half an hour. Though, the front desk was very prompt in calling help to fix it. It was late Sunday night and technician got here within 30 min and got us out.
I lived here from 2017 to 2019. I moved out here due to relocation. Otherwise, I would keep staying there for sure.
I felt necessary to write review for this place, since I did have very good experience here, however, I saw some negative comments when I just moved in.
This place is in extremely great location. It is close to trains A,B,C,D,E, etc.. It is close to many restaurants and grocery stores. It is close to central park and broadway. Super cool location. I really love that.
The staffs in the building turns out to very helpful. Someone is more serious and someone is more relaxed. But all of them are nice and good people to deal with. I personally did not see anything bad during my stay in this place. (I did see some complaint about the staff before I move in).
One thing to note is that this building does not have gym. Personally I use my gym at work and does not use gym at home. So it's totally fine for me. Also, probably because of this, the rent is relatively cheaper than other buildings in the same area. I love that. Another thing you might be careful is that, the apartment has single bladed window, if you are very sensitive to noise, you may be careful. I live on 10+ floor, street facing, and I'm fine with that.
When I was moving out, I was not sure when my last day will be in this place. The leasing office gave very flexible choices, and allowed me to do month-by-month lease. (Before that, I even renewed a half year lease.) After I left, they returned all my security deposit. (Of course, I cleaned carefully. But still I appreciate that.)
If one day, I would have to find some rental in NYC again, I would definitely consider Carnegie Mews as a top choice.
