Sky View Parc Luxury Condominiums

RECONSIDER renting at Skyview Flushing.

EVERYTHING costs money. The condo lease application fee is $550. Lease renewal is $350. The average rental application fees for the Flushing area is usually $20 to $300.

There's a $1000 "security deposit" (you ain't getting that back) to move in or out if you're using the loading dock elevators. There's also a $50 hourly fee to pay the workers to open the back doors for you. Don't go over 2 hours since they'll be a $200 fine. No the workers won't be helping you move, they're just there to open the doors.

Unless you have one or two very small suitcases, you're going to need the loading dock elevators because the front desk will stop you from moving anything larger.

If your boxes aren't folded properly before disposing of them, you will get fined a few hundred dollars. Really? That's probably more than the contents of the package.

Your curtains have to be beige or off-white, or you risk being fined.

Clean up after your pets or you'll be fined (this one's reasonable)

You get a key fob to enter the building. That fob will have your picture in the programming, so don't bother lending it to a friend. No it cannot be copied.

For the price of a one bedroom in this complex, you can get a two or three bedroom in the same neighborhood.

Yes the supermarket and mall is downstairs. But it's New York, where shopping is always within walking distance. Not much of a perk if you ask me.

Nice condo with huge windows offering great views of city. Possesses good luxury amenities (secure entrance, 2 zone climate control inside your condo with Nest thermostat, large gym, pool and sauna. VERY close to heart of Flushing and all the associated shopping and restaurants. HUGE balcony and very thick glass that blocks most aircraft noise flying overhead to nearby LaGuardia Airport. Management quick to respond via email and in-person!

Made an appointment with the management office to see some apartments. When the management office personnel was showing me the apartments and then the outside decks and rooftop pool two Asian men were walking toward us and saying “uuuugh why do they come here” implying with my not being Asian I should not be there. Extremely racist, disgusting place and people. The management office personnel only spoke to me about how many months of rent they want upfront in order to discourage a prospective tenant not surprised after the racist commentary of those tenants on the roof. This was a weekday with not many people home or I would have surely been subjected to more racist, disgusting treatment.

I went there to visit my cousins. It is situated at the heart of Flushing. It is a Chinese neighborhood, and it is absolutely beautiful. The placing of the apartment is perfect in the sense you will get a good crowd as well as a feeling of family which you will miss in Manhattan.

The apartment complex itself is truly an experience. Staff are nice and friendly, the lobby looks like a hotel and very clean. The apartment view from 12L where I stayed in is wonderful. The 2nd floor has a park themed space which is a delight and to be honest I've never seen such an innovation at the heart of Queens! It also has a shopping mall right next to the apartment building (on the ground floor)

Overall I love this place.

Honestly don't know why people pay the amount that they do to live here. This place in no way comparable to 'luxury condominiums' located elsewhere.

The neighborhood honestly doesn't feel that safe at night. Probably why the building needs like 3-4 levels of key fob security for you to get in.
The building itself (at least tower 1,2,3) are poorly designed and poorly built. It's not an old building but the appliances and apartment interiors are in pretty poor shape. At least one of the elevators seems to be constantly down. I'm sure the sewage here has some issues because the guest bathroom is constantly permeating some sort of odor despite not being used.

Your neighbors can be nice or they can be super nosy busybodies who reports and complains about you for absurd reasons. (Ex.: For walking a cat on a leash at night when barely anyone was out.) And there's always a herd of older grannies who feel that they're the only ones justified to the common spaces. (They will chase you out of the gym area on bad weather days when they decide they need to do their dancing indoors instead of outside. They will enlist the help of the gym manager too.) Also some of the residents are thieves. I've been told that there are various incidence of theft in the children's playground area.

And as most of the post here already mentioned, the concierge here is terrible. Some of the workers are really nice, but it doesn't stop them from being unprofessional. There are also just so many absurd rules that they'll try to fine you for or feel the need to berate you for. (Like one day randomly telling you not to let your dog pee on the outside ground, never mentioned by others before, and cause obviously that's something that can be controlled.) Also there's one tiny tiny tiny mail room for two towers. Mail gets lost, doorman will offer to hand your mail to 'visitors.' etc.

Anyways, these are only some of the many many issues that is going on with this building. Honestly for this price range, if you really love Flushing, there are better and newer options such as Tangram, Flushing Commons, Fulton, etc.

Lived here for almost four years. Feel superbly safe during covid19. Easy access to the supermarket and mall.

Amenities are well managed and upkept. Location is undesirable however, and The Grand is inaccessible for food deliveries. The vents inside apartments are weirdly connected. Fines are quite high and strictly enforced. Garage has lengthy lines on weekends since it’s also a Skyview mall garage. The dog park stinks in hot weather.

Keep reading for a catastrophe of an experience I had here today but TLDR: The reception staff was beyond rude and unprofessional and don't care for the well being of their tenants. DURING A PANDEMIC. The lady working at the first floor reception desk at 3:55pm 5/3/20 should be fired for putting the tenants life at risk. I can't imagine anyone enjoying living here for expensive rent and what I imagine to be extremely rude management.

Today I had to visit this place to deliver supplies to a sick tenant during the Covid-19 pandemic. Mind you, I wasn't the delivery person, I was a by-passer on my way home when the delivery partner stopped me asking if I understood Chinese. The tenant spoke Chinese and the delivery person couldn't understand. But the catastrophe I met with at the lobby was so rude I almost dropped the box and walked out.

The ONLY reason I pushed on through to get this delivery through was because the tenant was sick and I truly believe we should be helping each other; not getting in each others way.

When I arrived at the door I explained to the lady at the door that his food was here and that it needed to be sent to him. I expected to be told how to get the food to him or if I was supposed to leave it with her as apartment policy. Instead, she looked at me and said in Chinese "so what exactly is your purpose here?". Not only was this incredibly rude as I'm literally standing there with a box of food supplies, she's looking at me like some terrorist with a bomb in my hands. So I tell her that the tenant on the phone had told me the apartment has policies in place to deliver food to sick tenants and that I could just leave it with the lobby. This wasn't actually the full policy, what he meant was that the lobby on the higher floor would deliver it to him but I didn't know this. Instead of telling me, she just told me "no we don't bring the food to them". and continued to stare at me. I'm not sure if I could have communicated any more clearly but it seemed like she just didn't listen to anything I said. At this point I should have left but I felt bad for the man living in his apartment too sick to buy food so I pushed on ahead and the lady grudgingly let me in and told me to write down my name and address. She specifically told me in Chinese "write your name and address" So I asked her in confusion, "my address?". It seemed odd to me they would care what my address was, and even stranger they would want the address of the building I was literally standing in. Then she exasperatedly responds, "no the room number of the person you're delivering to!" After finally signing in, she asks me if I know how to get to the room and I tell her it's my first time there and there are three towers in this complex so, no. She exasperatedly speeds through the instructions of how to get there as if she's in a rapping competition and literally waves me off without even looking at me this entire time.

Mind you, I am a nobody in this whole affair. All I wanted was to do something nice for a sick man because he only spoke Chinese and I had to face this 15 minute interrogation with the front desk lady. The ONLY reason I pushed through with the delivery was because I knew he needed supplies if he was sick and if I gave up, he would probably be left to starve. It's unbelievable how rude and unprofessional the staff is here.
