    Review Summary for 1309 5 Avenue
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews for 1309 5 Avenue, Manhattan highlight its prime location near Central Park with large units, balconies, and good views as major advantages. Updated appliances and reasonable rents attract residents, alongside amenities like a gym and lounge. However, persistent construction causes frequent elevator and water outages, leading to inconvenience. Maintenance is often slow, with management viewed as unresponsive, and pest control issues—including mice and roaches—are a serious concern in some units. Noise levels vary, neighbors are generally friendly, but some safety and security issues have been reported. Prospective renters should weigh the location benefits against ongoing maintenance challenges.
