The Royal Blue Apartments

Absolutely pathetically run building. I’ve tried on four separate occasions to make an appointment to tour some apartments and NOT ONCE did I receive a response. I reached out to Morgan Parc just next door and they took me immediately on a tour, showed me all the amenities and they have a live 24/7 doorman. If you want quality living go there, definitely skip this one. Not one thing about this place is “royal”.

Not only do you have to be the “perfect” applicant to live in this building, but if you need a cosigner - which is almost inevitable since they treat all obligations as debt - that person must make over $150k individually, even if a couple’s combined income exceeds that by a wide margin. My Spouse and I earn well over that threshold, yet after even offering two months’ rent in advance plus a full month’s security deposit, management decided not to move forward with our application despite charging us $25 each for a deposit with a nightmare of a process. We were, however, easily approved at a nearby building for the same rent. Honestly, with what is clearly less than 50% occupancy after being open since April of 2025, I wouldn’t be surprised if management is forced to sell or buy out Royal

Love living here. Apartments are spacious with great natural light, the building is always clean and well maintained, and it’s surprisingly quiet.

Royal Blue reminded every bit of a condo building in NYC, Chicago or DC. The finishes in the lobby and in the apartments are top quality. (It’s far superior to almost anything else in the Mineola and surrounding areas.) And shout out to Julia - everyone should be so fortunate to work with such a professional!

lovely building. very clean and beautiful units. Cool and fun amenities- never crowded and always available. Great proximity to the train and fun things to do.
