Maison 78 Review in NYC - June 2025

I am writing this review to give others a real update on this property.

Pros: This is a brand new building that is beautiful and has great views from almost all sides. Courteous staff and great appliances inside the apartment with a lot of amenities like a garage, shared work space, nice gym, dog area and Lennox hill which has a ton restaurants.

Cons: (A lot of them) - For this price the apartment is nice but not the street it is on. Since there are a lot of restaurants the trash is rampant ,i mean all over the place on 78th street between 1st and 2nd.

  • Rats are everywhere when you walk up 78th from 1st to 2nd due to the trash (bad smell too)

  • Amenities- They claim they will be done in June (they said this May), they wont be done until September or maybe even November they have a ton of work to do. (This includes all amenities other than the Gym which is done but nothing else looks even remotely close to being done)

  • No Keys - You have to use a fob to open the doors

  • Elevator - due to all the construction they only have one elevator for the entire building that you have to cal the front desk to use, very inconvenient.

  • It's a lottery building for rent control and tax savings so while you are paying full price price others got to get in using this lottery for rent control and PAYING 1/3 of what they are asking for in price now.

TLDR: Nice building but trash, rats and smell is pretty bad for the price you are paying and the lack of amenities and all the construction. I will be looking to move in a year when my lease comes up, if I would have known this I would not have rented here at this price point.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
