    Review Summary for 690 Ft Washington Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Recent reviews for 690 Ft Washington Avenue reveal a mixed living experience. Tenants value spacious apartments, a quiet environment, and a good neighborhood with convenient subway access. However, consistent issues arise with cleanliness, pest infestations (particularly roaches and mice), and unreliable heating and elevator services. Management responsiveness is frequently criticized, with calls for improved maintenance and better pest control. On the positive side, some find the rent reasonable and appreciate rent-stabilized options and the presence of laundry facilities, though maintenance of these is often lacking. Prospective renters should weigh the affordable space against ongoing upkeep and management challenges.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large apartment - quiet - apartment has character with sunken living room and archways - close to subway - nice neighborhood - can’t touch this space for the price anywhere else in Manhattan.
    Cons:
    I wish it had a rooftop outdoor space and in unit laundry.
    Advice to owner:
    Keep it up!
