    Review Summary for Parc East Apartments
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 240 E 27 St show a building with spacious, well-lit apartments attracting many young professionals and recent grads. The doormen and staff are consistently praised for friendliness and responsiveness, contributing to a safe and welcoming community. Amenities like in-building laundry, gym, and package services are appreciated. However, frequent elevator malfunctions, occasional water shutoffs, and persistent maintenance and management responsiveness issues affect the living experience. Noise from neighbors and outside is noted, reflecting a lively, youthful atmosphere that may not suit everyone. Rent hikes and occasional pest sightings are concerns mentioned by multiple tenants.
