Review Summary for 500 East 85 Street

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.

Recent reviews of 500 East 85 Street commend the building for its attentive and responsive management, quiet and safe environment, and well-maintained apartments with strong heating and water pressure. Tenants appreciate the friendly doormen, large living spaces, and valuable amenities like on-site gym and laundry facilities. The building's prime location near parks is also a plus.
