    Review Summary for 500 West 148 Street
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews highlight the building at 500 West 148 Street as spacious with reasonable rents and valued amenities like basement laundry and dishwashers. Its prime location near multiple subway lines and local attractions is a major draw. Management and maintenance staff receive praise for attentiveness and professionalism. However, noise is a recurring challenge, with street and neighborhood activities causing disturbances, and some neighbors perceived as loud.

    Great place to live!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Laundry in basement, unit is big and reasonably priced, dishwasher, close to subway, close to things to do.
    Cons:
    Laundry in unit would’ve been perfect, some of the neighbors can be a little loud but that’s just NYC.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep up the good work!

    Convenient but loud
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Attentive and professional management company, nice super, elevator, laundry in the basement, close to many subway lines
    Cons:
    Occasionally the noise from Amsterdam Ave was extremely loud. A couple times a month there might be a loud block party on the corner that would randomly start at 11 pm on a Sunday night.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean building vents.
