    Review Summary for 425 Riverside Drive
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    425 Riverside Drive in Manhattan offers a prime riverside location with spacious units and friendly doormen, making it appealing especially for families and Columbia affiliates. The building has well-maintained common areas, good garbage management, and generally quiet surroundings with nice neighbors. Responsive and attentive staff are frequently praised. However, recurring issues include heating inconsistencies, pest control problems (notably mice and roaches), occasional plumbing setbacks, and some tenants report management as unresponsive with contentious rent hikes. While the building exudes old-world charm, renters advise improvements in maintenance, modernization of request systems, and enhanced pest control for an optimal living experience.
