    Review Summary for 247 Wadsworth Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 247 Wadsworth Avenue highlight a clean, well-maintained building with strong water pressure, reliable heat, and effective pest control. Tenants appreciate the large apartment sizes, friendly neighbors, and a sense of community. The super is praised for responsiveness and securing packages, enhancing resident convenience. Some units face noise challenges and limited natural light due to alley orientations, and occasional AC and delivery package issues are noted. While many recommend the building for its location and upkeep, a few raise concerns about management's pricing practices, suggesting room for improvement in landlord transparency and communication.

    Great Place to Live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is incredibly reliable and helpful. He keeps the building very clean and is responsive for minor repairs/replacements. He has a cage where he locks up all the packages every day so they don’t get stolen. Folks are friendly and the units that face the alley avoid most of the street noise. Apartments are large.
    Cons:
    The walk to the A is a little far (8-10) minutes but not unreasonable. The alley facing units don’t get a ton of light but that’s honestly the only downside to the otherwise nice large apartments
