    Review Summary for 209 West 135 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 209 West 135 Street praise its prime location near multiple subway lines and vibrant Harlem neighborhood vibe, with many enjoying bright apartments featuring high ceilings and convenient in-unit laundry. Tenants value the responsive and supportive management and good heating. However, cleanliness and maintenance inconsistency stand out as notable drawbacks—common areas and stairwells sometimes feel neglected, and pest control experiences vary. Security concerns include mail theft and package safety, suggesting the need for better surveillance. Noise levels and neighbor relations receive mixed feedback. Overall, the building offers charm and convenience but would benefit from improved upkeep and enhanced tenant security.

    Great support and very responsive!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I really like it here — the neighbors are great, the location is perfect, and having a washer/dryer is very convenient.
    Cons:
    The only downside is that there’s no gym, which would have made the place even better.

    I’ve really enjoyed my time here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment is nice, and the area is relatively quiet. However, I did miss out on some of the activities I was hoping to be a part of. Overall, it’s been a positive experience.
    Cons:
    The house is decent, but the lack of soundproofing in the rooms was frustrating.
