    Great affordable first apartment, but there are some issues in the value
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -affordable, rent controlled unit and the company that manages it never really tried to pull anything shady on us
    -excellent location across from riverside and riverbank parks and a short walk to the 1 train. Hamilton Heights is an awesome, underrated neighborhood.
    -other residents were always very friendly
    Cons:
    -you’re definitely in an older building. Loud pipes in the winter, there will be mice, etc etc
    -the management company was pretty nameless and faceless. They once switched our account manager without giving us notice. Reaching out was not the easiest
    Advice to owner:
    -better communication on changes if possible
