Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews for 700 West 176 Street highlight spacious apartments and a strong sense of community with long-term, friendly neighbors. Its proximity to transit and on-site laundry are appreciated conveniences. However, persistent management issues are noted, including poor garbage and pest control, unreliable elevator service, and broken entry systems. Noise from the street affects upper floors, and water pressure is often weak. Tenants commonly report difficulty reaching management and inadequate maintenance responses. Suggestions include upgrading windows and improving building infrastructure. Despite drawbacks, some renters value the building’s affordability and neighborly atmosphere, making it a mixed option depending on priorities.
