    Review Summary for 287 Bleecker Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 287 Bleecker Street commend its prime West Village location, proximity to multiple subway lines, and generally well-maintained, renovated units featuring in-unit washer-dryers and good natural light. Residents value the quiet neighbors and effective pest control, with many noting strong heating systems despite the pre-war building's old-fashioned walk-up design and occasional cold winters. However, noise from nearby bars and restaurants, challenges with water pressure, and slow or inconsistent responsiveness from management are frequently mentioned concerns. Safety and security issues, such as package theft and an unpopular superintendent, have been raised. The building suits those prioritizing location and authenticity but may require patience with management and building limitations.

    Loved living here. Great access to trains, iconic street in west village.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Loved that most units are newly renovated and have an in unit washer dryer with great light. It is so convenient, with access to 8 different subway lines, and super great walkability. Generally pretty safe because there is foot traffic from Bleecker St Pizza nearby.
    Cons:
    Walk up can be hard depending on what unit you are in.

    Can be loud at night because of nearby bars and restaurants open late night.

    Repairs can be hard to reach sometimes, especially since the air conditioners are older and inverter style. They're weak and can break. You will need a separate fan to generate airflow in the summer.

    Pre war building - walk up, no elevator, stairs are old. In the winter it can get cold.

    Expensive per sqft.

    Good building, mediocre management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great
    Cons:
    The superintendent is a very volatile scary person and the landlord is a company not a person. The smoke alarm goes off every time I cook. Management can be slow to respond or doesn’t respond at all. Security is nonexistent and I have had multiple packages stolen from inside the building.
    Advice to owner:
    Make it easier to contact management,get cameras and get a new super
