Denizen

My experience has been pleasant here at Denizen. Management team and leasing is helpful when I have questions, this building is very unique and has many amenities I personally love the bowling ally and the movie theater and now they have added parking so my friends do not have to circle the block 100 times which is cool.

I was initially skeptical about moving in based on all of the negative reviews, but as soon as I met Vlad, I had a really good feeling about him - he's very friendly and honest and he addressed all of the issues from the past and what they were doing differently now, such as bringing in an entirely new building management team recently. I trusted him and I've been greatly rewarded for it. The building is absolutely wonderful and all of the staff are really friendly and helpful. Have not had a single issue with the management and the requests I have made were all handled quickly. Would highly recommend this place.

Two weeks before Christmas, my husband and I began looking for a new apartment. Mind you, we were casually looking and The Denizen peeked our interest. Long story short, we met with Vladimir Baron a couple times to view the different apartments available. He was AMAZING, great personality, down to earth, grounded, and hilarious! In the end, we made a decision out of our two favorite and Vladimir helped make the choice easy for us. Fast forward, we LOVE our new apartment and the move happened fairly quick! We weren't officially looking in the first place. The building overall is clean and, so far (3 weeks in) the staff all seem to be extremely friendly. The amenities are everything (who doesn't love convenience)! And surprisingly the floors are eerie quiet (lol) Not sure how that's possible with the amount of tenants on each floor! Love it!

I just moved into the Denizen a month ago and I love it. Its an extremely clean building, and the staff is really nice. You can tell they invested a lot into making this space nice. I legit feel like I live in a hotel. My friends are always impressed whenever they come over. The building is huge and I think there are some places I haven't even explored yet. Reserving the amenities and events isn't as seamless as you'd expect it to be for a building like this. The app/web service they use seems a little outdated. I'm seeing other reviews complain about amenity fees, which I have sympathy for, but the building is pretty transparent about pricing when you move in. It's NYC, fees are expected. My favorite part about the building is the community. I love having neighbors that look like me, and that I can hangout with. I've been living in Bushwick for 14 years now. and the location of the Denizen makes it my favorite apartment that I've lived in.

What a fun place to live! :) Last night I came home from a late afternoon-night out of festivities (archery and dinner) and enter the lobby to hear someone playing piano. I have a beautiful place with an enormous patio (considering it’s the city) which I decorated with lights, a planter and lounge/dining area. It’s very private and quiet. The pool is opening next Saturday which is huge! The gym is great to use and so convenient. Absolutely love it here!!! 5 stars. FYI- smart management no longer runs the building, though I never had any issues!

Previously I left a negative review because I had moved to the building because of the boxing gym and social amenities to find out that I couldn’t really use them the way I needed to for my business and leisure. However, they fixed their policy! It was very nice to see the building listen to their tenants, now the tenants can use the gyms and amenities with a few friends. So here is my review. Let me start off by recommending this building to personal trainers. If you see clients one at a time you can absolutely conduct your business here, I am a boxing instructor and they have a legitimate full scale boxing gym with a regulation ring, heavy bags and speed bags. The regular gym is honestly comparable to smaller, but not much smaller equinox. It’s huge for an apartment gym equipped with a rock wall, tons or treadmills and cardio machines, as well as free weights and assisted machines for any kind of fitness enthusiast. I can’t speak for body builders, but I do see a lot of serious fitness people and influencers using the gym daily. There is a super nice bowling alley, a really cute and fun arcade, a movie theater, a spin room, yoga studio, party room, brewery, GOLF SIMULATOR. Also there is a really lovely cafe in the building that makes great food and drinks. The roof is where I do my laps and spend a good portion of my day, it has amazing city views and is very well kept, with grills, plants, lounge chairs and different sections. The side of the building I live on is about 1/6th of a mile walk to do a full lap! The apartments are very nice and affordable for what they are and what the building provides. They have a great, super friendly front desk staff that really take care of you! Yes there is a pool, and yes we all complain that it’s not open, but with everything else the building has it’s better just to pretend it’s not there and appreciate the value you’re getting... but I know it’s there and I really wish it was open sooooooooonnnn! ;)

My wife and I lived here for 2 years. Prior to the pandemic we didn't even use the amenities to even have an opinion about them. Not to mention our schedules were so busy we didn't really have an opportunity to engage with our peers/neighbors in the building. The pandemic helped us appreciate the building so much more. The gym, the boxing studio, the cafeteria, the conference room, and the game room. It was fantastic. The staff is wonderful (S/O to Chris, Kasey Desiree). Not to mention this building is filled with young entrepreneurs and go getters. It's a great place to put yourself if you want to surround yourself with inspiration. This building is definitely not perfect but I see a lot of asinine claims about them on these reviews. We had minor problems and the maintenance crew was prompt to handle any of our tickets. Just moved out because we left the country but I wish everyone the best in the Denizen...and those to come!

I really liked living here - my apartment was modern and super cute and the amenities are OFF THE CHARTS. A big plus: the staff could not be nicer. I had to move away for work and I miss my apartment a lot. Whenever I had guests they said it was like living in a beautiful hotel. It's beautiful and modern and fun and there are gorgeous murals throughout. They go out of their way to make the tenants feel important and special with parties, get togethers, happy hours, movie nights, and WAY more. And the rooftop is unbelievable. Definitely recommend!!
