City Centre Ithaca

I honestly think they are deleting negative reviews. If you are looking for a luxury building with amenities, this is ... one of several that Ithaca offers. Generally I expect a building at this price range to be hospitable to tenants, but the management was just so petty and stingy at every possible juncture. I was irritated by a few small things, by the rent increase ($500+), but what broke the camel's back was their blatant attempt to foist the final cleaning off to residents by suggesting that we pay $400 to one of their friends to do it. As a reference, Spruce, a cleaning service app that operates in large cities and is already more expensive than most services, charges $150-80 for the equivalent work and time, maybe $200 if you do add-ons like decluttering. I think this should tell you something about the values of the people who run this place. If the amenities are a priority for you, this place does meet expectations. Nevertheless I still recommend looking elsewhere as many other such buildings exist in Ithaca within walking distance of this one and there are hidden gems with more space at a lower cost to be found as well. Shoutout to the maintenance crew, who are truly spectacular, and always respond quickly, efficiently, and so warmly!

I like living here. Overpriced. The new receptionist is not friendly, everyone else is okay. The coffee machine could be upgraded. Could have more services like recycling collection from apartments instead of my having to go to the basement.
