    Review Summary for 70 Morningside Drive
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews of 70 Morningside Drive emphasize its safe, collegiate atmosphere with great views and a strong community feel, aided by responsive and friendly management. The building boasts cleanliness, effective garbage management, and good pest control. Tenants appreciate spacious rooms and social common areas filled with natural light. However, noise from nearby students can be an issue, and heating is sometimes inconsistent, especially during seasonal changes. Some note outdated fixtures and occasional maintenance gaps. While space can be limited and corridors crowded, the overall environment is considered safe, vibrant, and convenient, making it a desirable option for Columbia students and residents seeking a lively neighborhood.
