    Review Summary for Biltmore Plaza
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    The building at 155 East 29 Street is praised for its impeccable cleanliness, attentive and friendly doormen, and responsive management that resolves issues promptly. Residents value the well-maintained amenities including laundry, gym, and rooftop, though these often require additional fees. The environment caters largely to young professionals and post-grads, leading to occasional noise from social gatherings. While the location is convenient to grocery stores and amenities, rent prices are considered high with some concerns about substantial rent increases and limited flexibility. Overall, tenants appreciate the safe, clean, and well-run atmosphere, though cost and noise may influence long-term stays.

    Really well run
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Ogden Cap is a big management company that runs Biltmore Plaza well. The building staff is super friendly and take such good care of the building. The shared spaces like the laundry room, gym, rooftop are well maintained and kept clean. The staff is also incredibly responsive to maintenance requests, often coming to service within 24 hours.
    Cons:
    There is a separate membership fee to use the amenities (rooftop, pool, gym)
    Sometimes an elevator is out of service, but the staff works quickly to get them up an
