    Review Summary for 125 East 31 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 125 East 31 Street highlight its convenient location near subway lines and local amenities like Trader Joe’s and Koreatown. The building features sizeable units with excellent water pressure and central heating, and residents appreciate the friendly, attentive doormen and generally quiet environment. Cleanliness and garbage management are consistently rated well, though some tenants report ongoing pest control challenges, particularly with roaches. Kitchens tend to be small with limited counter space. Management responsiveness receives mixed feedback, with some finding it timely and others citing communication difficulties. Overall, it’s viewed as a decent option offering good value in Manhattan’s competitive market.
