    Review Summary for 179 Waverly Place
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 179 Waverly Place emphasize its unbeatable location and some updated units with good amenities like laundry and package systems. Neighbors are often well-regarded, contributing to a positive community feel. However, renters frequently report issues with heating, noise from the street or nearby construction, and pest problems including rats and flies. Management responsiveness is inconsistent, especially regarding heating concerns, and cleanliness and garbage management quality vary. While some appreciate the value and conveniences, others criticize building upkeep and owner engagement. Prospective tenants should weigh the prime location against ongoing maintenance and noise challenges.
